Beyond EVs, the much cheaper sodium-ion battery is entering mass production in China. We can already buy B-grade cells on AliExpress. This will have implications for all sorts of use cases that could use batteries but don’t due to cost.

This is the version I setup just yesterday. Much simpler setup than the AIO. The AIO controls Docker to manage its collection of containers.

Shitty ass thin client running cheap hw that can’t do anything, a.k.a. Chromebook.

First and foremost, get the suggestions from good sources.

Then read the suggested command and learn what it does. Look up what each part is. Then look up that command’s documentation (via manpages - man command). Do that enough times and you learn enough bits and pieces to build a good picture of the system.

This is how I learned. Took me about 5 years to get enough knowledge to feel fairly comfortable in the OS.

The other way to do it is to learn the basics in a structured way, like a course, tutoring, a book. These days I teach my knowledge of Ubuntu to colleagues at work who come to our project, which requires it. I sit them down for several 1:1 study sessions, 4-8 hours total. They come out fairly proficient afterwards and more importantly - able to reliably expand their knowledge.

And when they do, you take care of it. Also, if you use Tailscale or equiv, you can stop Syncthing’s exposure to the internet. Then you can stay on a fixed version across clients and limit unexpected breakage that comes with autotomatic updates.

Build a Syncthing Android apk yourself. You don’t need to update to every release. I’m still using 1.30 with 2.x.

The warm and cozy feel of a VC-funded social network.

Is there difference in how much storage space is needed between the two approaches?

How does this compare to redarc? It seems to be similar.

I used to buy PS. I no longer do. GIMP is good enough for me. If it didn’t exist I’d still be paying Adobe.

Still, those students who WANT to learn will not be held back by AI.

Our society probably won’t survive if only the students who want to learn do so. 😔

Whack-a-mole that creates plausible deniability to be used when someone is harmed or dies.

Nice to see there’s a second name thrown around. If this damn bubble doesn’t pop soon, we’ll all be on Chinese RAM in a year or two.

The process through which we get more users is that something material changes in current Tirefire user’s life that puts them over the threshold needed to look for alternative. Then they look. Lemmy is the obvious Reddit alternative, it’s well indexed in search engines. Then they try it. If the quality of content is decent, there’s a decent chance they stay. They know the quantity won’t be as high, that’s the major reason they haven’t switched to begin with. So for this process to keep functioning, we need to maintain the quality.

Of course we should also suggest Lemmy, but probably when asked or otherwise appropriate. Or else it may have the opposite effect that naked shilling often has.

This is going to be a bigger deal than I thought. Can’t cross 91% lib scan even if I delete the music lib and then upgrade. Even turning on debug logging doesn’t reveal anything helpful. Rolling back to 10.10 for now. Will attempt again when they force me to upgrade.

When I hear freefall I think rock-bottom prices. I don’t think this is that. 😄

How do you know it’s a good answer? That requires prior knowledge that you might have. My juniors repeatedly demonstrate they’ve no ability to tell whether an LLM solution is a good one or not. It’s like copying from SO without reading the comments, which they quickly learn not to do because it doesn’t pass code review.

Good note.

I seem to be suffering from this issue. Lotsa spam in the logs and the scan job doesn’t seem to be moving. The next attempt would be, revert, disable music lib and upgrade. Then deal with the music lib separately. But I’ll let it run another 12-24 hours.
