In for a penny…
The move to a subscription model is the disservice and requires no particular savvy to differentiate from free.
Macs and Chromebooks are fine for some people and won’t require as much hand holding as a direct Linux install regardless of the distro.
People are going to rely on what others recommend when they don’t know themselves. It’s up to those people to cull the list from ten to two.
Is the person a budding tech that wants to hack on their system? Send them to Arch.
Are they a creative looking to craft? Throw them into Ubuntu Studios.
Maybe they’re grandparents who barely understand tech. Ok, Mint or Elementary are good options… Just maintain SSH access with keys.
The options are a strength.
Your money, spend it how you want. Me, I’ll eschew the bloated system designed to separate customers from their money in favor of the free and open source alternatives.
That’s awesome, I wasted so much time on the web browser before playing over ssh and wasting even more time. Shame the drops didn’t seem to speed up.
+1 for Joplin with Nextcloud / WebDAV sync.
Another +1 for Joplin. Been using it for a while now. The web clipper is very handy too.
oh? When I run lsblk
all of the docker overlay mounts are omitted. It does show loop devices, but otherwise it was the list of physical devices.
Looking at the man page it looks like df
lets you exclude types too: df -h -x tmpfs -x overlay
.
Same. I end up either grep -v -e
tmps and loop mounts or mount -t
for each type of physical mount. I suppose lsblk and findmnt might have better options and views.
Another really good write-up about why the Meta fediverse integration is dangerous: https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html
Absolutely agree that hiding knowledge behind a paywall is crappy. I hit that issue so many times with Red Hat that I standardized on debian variants.
Searching, while a function of any modern forum, is easily bypassed with a modern search engine / crawler. Unless the forum admin takes the unlikely step of disabling web crawlers on their site, you can pass the site:<website>
filter into your search. For example: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=subtitles+site%3Aforum.jellyfin.org&ia=web shows forum posts regarding subtitles.
There is a page, albeit buried, dedicated to “why?”: https://fedipact.online/why
I don’t know that it’s much of a punishment for adopting open standards. The open standard is there to be used, the engineering work crowdsourced for the benefit of all. Meta gets the used of the standard and access to a not-insignificant portion of the federated services that don’t bother blocking them.
It will likely be one of the columns when the inevitable Lemmy Instance comparison charts are created: registration type, country, bans illegal content, blacklists meta services, etc …
👍 for Joplin. It’s nice to configure it with WebDAV directly with Nextcloud for replication and sync.
+1 for Joplin (https://joplinapp.org/) with Nextcloud / WebDAV for sync. I use the web clipper all the time.
