I used it for a while (a few years) before getting a VPN. I couldn’t stand the horrible download speeds mostly, but there were always bugs. Not to mention the Arch support randomly breaking for months(?).

Sometimes torrents just refused to download anything at all too, it was pretty annoying. Wouldn’t even pull metadata.

Maybe it’s improved since the year or so since I dropped it, but the dev team seems to be going off the deep end with weird crypto fair-share downloading even as the bug trackers keeps growing.

It’s a shame too because the idea of decentralized torrents is great.

Is there any way to git-send-mail to Github/lab projects? Most stuff I interact with is on Github

https://libreelec.tv/ might be of some interest if you want a media Pi OS

For me, it’s quicker if I don’t remember the exact file name or location. Just see a list, enter a dir, repeat. Instead of typing ls and cd, it’s hjkl movement

I don’t use NFT’s personally, but isn’t the idea to peove you own an asset, not just to serve it like a torrent would?

I second this, but I think some of their personal configs go a bit overboard, at least the i3 version. I guess it’s not really their “vision” to be a literal Arch install script though.

I’ve used it for a while. Not sure how nnn compares, but it works well for me. Can set it up to render images with w3c, open PDFs in stuff like Zathura, etc.

I thought they wrote their own STT engine? Guess it was a TTS though.

After looking it up I do see what you’re talking about though. They say they proxy everything so your IP doesn’t touch the Google servers. But I also see you can run your own Mozilla DeepSpeech & use that instead, which seems like a decent option. It’s just not the default.

JS for embedded 🤔

I’ve been waiting to get the v2 model, but it’s taking so long I might make my own with a raspberry pi and their software.

Tons of lighter services you can run. Even a media server is doable if you’re direct streaming instead of transcoding. Just depends what you want really.

DNS (PiHole) is the super obvious choice, but you could do a personal VPN, email server, idk. The list is pretty endless.

0 a.d. is pretty fun. I like messing around in either bot or online matches. It could use some QoL improvements though.

The movement of a majority to gmail makes some sense. Android (and all other google services) basically forces users into making a google/gmail account. Not to mention people tend to flock to the same services once they start snowballing in popularity.

Before gmail, everyone (that I knew) was on AOL, which (probably) got its users from requiring accounts to use their network back in the day. I don’t remember it that well though, so I might be wrong there…

An echo chamber is a “safe space” where, in general, no one disagrees with some core idea/ideology. Thus with no differing opinion, people build on each other and strengthen their opinion that they are right.

Example: a nazi forum. Only nazis are allowed, anyone else gets banned. This removes the mere thought they could be wrong, and makes its nazi members more emboldened.

The same thing happens for all crap online - communists, leftists, white suppremists, pedophiles, dog fighters, BSD evangelists, whatever. Whether you are “right” isn’t important, just removing any alternatives closes off your mind to the possibility of more.

TLDR: groupthink bubbles bad. Interacting with people of differing opinions is good. It’s how we grow as people.

Kind of nuts so many companies don’t do email verification. That would solve this issue more or less. Or just use a different domain like she mentions.

Most people are under some naieve assumption that devs could just all work on the same thing, instead of spreading efforts across many projects.

Sure we’d probably get further if we all joined hands and sang kumbayah, but it doesn’t work well in the real world. Lack of understanding, unfamiliarity with certain systems, no interest or desire, thinking the current system is a lost cause, etc. Many reasons it doesn’t work.

Where did you get that info? Their site says it’s 2 manufacturing defects in the battery.

Specifically it says

The problem consists of two LG manufacturing defects (a torn anode tab and folded separator) that, in rare circumstances, can simultaneously present in a single battery cell in the LG battery module.

Also, the Bolt does have battery heating/cooling last I checked. The Nissan Leaf, however, doesn’t.

On the upside, I bet a used Bolt will be really cheap now. Just need to wait for the fixed battery and it’s a solid option.

Weird. Do they actually need the money they get from this? I thought they had a ton of sponsors already.

It’s open core, but their free hosting runs on the closed source extension of the core for businesses. You’re only running the OSS if you self-host the free version I believe.
