Well one advantage is you can just use this tool instead of needing to use each website or app individually, it saves a lot of time that way.

Also might as well have one less company collecting data on you, vs using a commercial closed source social media management tool.

Could be a difference in how they’ve set up charging cut off points.

Could try Fedora based like Bazzite or just regular Fedora. Obviously a sample size of 2 isn’t saying much, but Bazzite is less buggy with the hardware on my HP laptop, and my destop with an Nvidia GPU.

If you changed it after installing the OS in the VM, that would be the cause.

That looks like the bootloader is broken, or the VM BIOS settings got changed after install.

Often the hotkeys on laptops for screen brightness, mute, etc will either not work or be wonky, on my HP Elitebook on Debian distros the brightness keys both mute the speakers instead, they work fine on Fedora though.

Yeah, I have local proxmox backups to an external HDD for stuff like “oops I broke it” or a drive failure, but the online backups are for something catastrophic like the house burned down with the server in it, so I’m not particularly worried about them being more work to restore.

My cloud backup method is running Restic inside any VMs or Containers with important data (I use Backrest to manage it easily).

The reason is I don’t want to be backing up caches, logs, and other junk that isn’t important to cloud storage, since it’s just wasted storage space and bandwidth.

I would just make an IG account if it’s being a large obstacle, you probably don’t have to install the app as you can do most things through the web browser.

Probably something 7th gen Intel or newer so you can use Quicksync for transcoding on Jellyfin and HW accel on Immich for ML, face recognition, resizing, etc…

Tons of 7th/8th gen PCs pulled from offices on ebay for around $50-80, if you do some creative mounting inside a Midtower (MT) sized one you can fit a couple 3.5" drives and 2.5" SSDs.

Yeah fair, most of my bookmarks aren’t really things that are important to save, just funny things I want to share later or something.

Yeah bookmarks are a lot better than using specific save systems

I’m always wary of aftermarket stuff just because poor quality cells can sometimes catch fire for no reason at all.

I just don’t see how smaller social groups like forums or fedi stuff can survive if they need to potentially fight legal battles too.

Yeah it makes sense that they’re good at finding similar things.

Not super reliable, one road near me is 25mph and google says it’s 65mph.

It’s not because they’re dumb, it’s because it’s easy and because it’s the OS a computer comes with (with the tiny exception of some systems where you can choose linux).

My sort of turning point where I stopped playing was when they added the ability to just inject skill points.

It was a much more interesting and fun game to me when there was no way around the time investment of learning skills.

30 years of data and no backup system, sheesh.

Yeah I mean even if it was trained specifically for that, they often will still be incorrect because they don’t actually understand the concepts they’re presenting.
