Cool I’ll check that out

Are you referring to ollama?

Yeah. A PC “console” brings so much value since “backward compatibility” isn’t even really a thing. Pretty much all games just work, even older console exclusives via emulation. I can’t imagine upgrading my pc and having to repurchase a game with “HD” graphics.

But it’s so much more than CPU. GameCube and Wii have the same CPU, but are possibly the most different in the list.

Gameboy color was a huge change at the time. It was smaller (about the same size as the pocket) and playing color games was a novelty: that was Game Gear’s main selling point.

As for GBA/SP, yeah they’re super similar but the form factor is quite different.

Seldom do “photo realistic” graphics add to a game, at least for me. All it takes is a close up of one person talking to break it.

Honestly I think that reels in general are toxic to mental health. I say we just move on.

I’m sure syncthing works great for you but another option is Self Hosted Live Sync. It works for me as an iOS user who can’t use syncthing on my phone. It requires a server but given this b community it shouldn’t be a surprise.

Rclone does what I want, for the most part.

I don’t know if I would recommend a comprehensive guide at all tbh. It’s like recommending a comprehensive guide to gardening or reading or something. Just start small with realistic goals and find some good YouTube videos that pique your interest.

I started with unraid (strictly due to the expandability of the array, and I’m still glad I did that) and found SpaceInvader One’s videos to be super helpful, and he continues to put out new videos with new ways of harnessing unraid’s power. After a while I got the hang of it and now I feel comfortable reading the docs of a service and installing it myself and integrating it into my stack. Following communities like these on Lemmy, as well as perusing the Community App Store in unraid is more than enough to expose me to interesting software I want to try out.

I say sit back and enjoy the process. We have a tendency to put pressure on ourselves to do things perfectly and immediately. But tend not to enjoy the learning process. Thinking back five years ago it’s amazing how far my server has come, let alone my ability to control it. Enjoy it!

I agree with a lot of LR’s opinions, especially around right to repair, but he has always been extremely long winded, and guilty of repeating himself a lot in his videos. Not to mention opinionated.

While it’s cool that some people are excited for this and will no doubt learn a ton from this, there is no way I would recommend this to anyone.

I read that as pi hole and was confused because pi hole is licensed under the European Union Public License (EUPL) which I’m pretty sure can copy from GPL with attribution. Also they both block ads in very different ways.

Anyways isn’t it also weird, then, that there is an extension called pi blocker? Or pie blocker?

At this rate you would have been better off investing $60!

 

I’ve been thinking of switching from btrfs to zfs but it seems like it’s quite a bit of work. Does anyone have any experience with this?

 

It sounds like the new Pirate Bay series is a let down (although I have not seen it myself). But I do remember enjoying this documentary about the trio from 2013.

 

I’m a teacher and our division just “upgraded” to W11 with a new version of outlook that is basically a web app on desktop. Several times a day my laptop comes to a complete crawl while Teams decides to open itself. Can’t open or close programs, Firefox won’t register mouse clicks, nothing. Graphical glitches appear al the time with menu bars and task bars disappearing regularly, requiring force quitting the app or logging out of the desktop.

When I first switched to Linux I assumed my experience would be like this. But now it’s the other way around.

Rant over.

 

I've been using Google Drive in Windows for about a decade and have a good workflow. I recently transitioned to Linux but cannot seem to reliably connect my drive to the filesystem. My work provides unlimited Drive space and since it's for work I have shared directories with coworkers that I need access to every day. Hence, I'm kind of tied to GDrive.

Is there a reliable method of doing this? Rclone seems to be what I want but it seems to disconnect regularly, and often doesn't upload the changes I make which defeats the purpose.

Do Linux users just not use Drive?

 

This is the code hosts annas-archive.org, the search engine for books, papers, comics, magazines, and more.

I found the extensions section particularly useful:
