I’m right there alongside you, was pretty deep in Apple and decided to pick up an unlocked Pixel 8 and start working on de-Appleing and de-Googling as much as possible. I’m using Lineage for now, after trying Graphene for a bit.
I’m beyond pissed at how much money I’ve spent on apple products that are either almost entirely useless now (apple watch) or are severely nerfed (airpods, Apple TV, just even signing into a fucking Apple account with MFA) now that I don’t use an iPhone.
I spent two hours last night beating myself over the head with RAM sticks. Got an ewasted server that had the alarm misconfigured, figured I’d upgrade it and put in a valid configuration since it was just off my size. Slapped in some matching size sticks and it wouldn’t boot. It took my embarrassingly long to realize that the speeds werent the same and that the server really cared about the speeds being the same, more than it cared about sizes being the same incidentally.
I work in IT that should have been the first fuckin thing I checked smh
It does, that was one of the biggest draws for me!
I’ve been using Fedora KDE Plasma Mobile spin for a few months on my Go 2 and I’ve been pretty pleased with it as well, took ages to find a decent touchscreen compatible DE/WM, hadn’t found PostMarket in my research somehow…
I did something similar with an old Alienware, I slapped a 4TB drive in it and put unRAID on it and it became my general server for pretty much everything. I’ve moved to a Dell R510 for now though.
With a 1080 you could do some pretty decent models with Ollama, or other AI projects. I have a 1650 in the server I use for my LLM stuff.
Seems like itd make a fine server for fedi verse stuff
Unsure about the RAID question, theoretically if you have enough SATA slots and drive bays in the case it should at least be doable with software? But that’s another reason I recommend unRAID, especially if you’re not buying drives in a preconfigured storage size configuration
Another +1 for name cheap, been using em for a decade now. Their deals are stellar and renewal prices are on par with any other competitors usually
Something seriously ironic about pushing stupidly simple appels while having ridiculous bloated crap like that on the webpage. I immediately closed it out before getting a chance to read anything. On mobile that stupid bouncer takes up like a quarter of the width of my screen and why the hell is it the most foreground object???
For what it’s worth I literally just removed my phone number from my account after reading your comment and it did it no problem. Haven’t gotten any suspicious account alerts yet but if I get one I’ll come back and update.
Almost did the same last night on a device that has its internal drive (flash) mounted as mmc and the USB drive was sda
I’ve been using NPM for a few years now and can’t recommend it enough. I use it to route to both docker containers on an internal proxy network as well at other services within my networks
Learn to swim, see you down in Arizona Oklahoma Bay!
I’ve been using a modified and simplified version of Prismatic Night it’s somewhat basic but I’m pretty happy with it. I’ve got startpages for my personal stuff, one for my wife and her personal stuff, and a couple for work.
That falls under the categories “Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights” and “Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause” – each of those groups has anti-LGBT articles under them
None of the categories are specific to any particular demographic, they’re all pretty broad ranging from what I see
Damn it even on Lemmy I can’t get to the comments before someone else has the samr idea as me ahaha
For what it’s worth I was able to play Farm Together the whole time, it has a dedicated offline mode, that’s the only game I’ve played in ages but I’ve played the GoW games without internet plenty so I imagine that would have been fine too
Many state schools receive federal funding in the form of grants, but also this hasn’t stopped Musk and his cronies from trying to strongarm other places like Costco.
Congratulations!! It took me ages to figure out the concept and how it works in practice, and reached the same conclusion as you! It’s nice feeling more secure and also having more freedom over routing
About 30% of the time I simply cannot transfer calls, the dialog bugs out and either won’t allow me to type or won’t accept the number. Not reliably able to be reproduced and restarting Teams fixes it. Done all the troubleshooting including device resets and no permanent fix found yet.
This sort of random unreliability seems extremely prevalent among all of Microsoft’s products. Hell just today we couldn’t do email remediation through the MS Security portal, had to do an old school investigation. ‘The actions failed. Please try again later.’ No details or explanation and they didn’t show in the action logs either.
Microsoft products are hell to work with on an organization level.
This makes me want to scream, daily. Holy hell please just mark as read when I open it, same for Outlook
I wrote up a whole thing on Discord but can’t find it now, but the gist of it is that at the moment I’m not particularly worried about my phone being compromised via exploits and my safety isn’t immediately at risk. My big motivator at the moment is trying to give Google duller claws to sink into me, and Lineage is fine for that at the moment.
Graphene due to its nature sacrifices a lot of quality of life features in the name of security. I found that a few apps would simply segfault on open, even with the security options disabled for the app. Multitasking was essentially non-existent, swiping between two apps trying to reference then type something? Good luck, both apps will do a complete reload on every swipe. Small things like that. Graphene is definitely a viable option if or when shit absolutely hits the fan and I am concerned about safety and exploits, but for now I’m much more happy on Lineage.
