What Linux distro surprised you the most?
  • Not bashing on Gentoo or anything, but it's when I realized why Arch was "simple."

    That's funny. I switched from Slackware to Gentoo in 2003 because it was simpler.

  • Dear iPhone users:
  • It doesn't look deleted to me.

    How would one go about reading the logs on how federation worked in this case? I'm thinking lemmy.ml either missed it did not honor the delete from lemmy.zip

  • FOSS email service provider
  • I've enjoyed using proton for my own domain. Adding another 2-3 domains and a second user raises the cost to the point that I just can't justify. ~$200 up front for two years.

  • Donald Trump Says Elon Musk Will Lead 'Government Efficiency' Task Force
  • Step 1) Rename the country to something more hip. Possibly USX.

    Step 2) Have everyone sign a pledge to work twice as hard.

    Step 3) Cut everything that has a budget.

    Step 4) Profit?

  • Linus Tech Tips uploaded a video showing how to block ads on Youtube. Which was removed by Youtube for community guidelines violations.
  • Reddit is curiously silent on this matter. Their SJWs are usually all over shit like this.

    Wouldn't surprise me if their new deal with Google has some influence on which posts go down the drain, and which ones go to the front page.

  • Linus Tech Tips uploaded a video showing how to block ads on Youtube. Which was removed by Youtube for community guidelines violations.
  • That was probably his stance when YouTube ad revenue was his stream of income.

    In 2024 they pay pennies, and his real income is from sponsorships like those d-brand skins and manscaping utilities. And their own merch, of course.

    They've been pushing their own media platform (floatplane), so I'm willing to bet this was a bit of a game of chicken with YouTube. YouTube wouldn't ban one of their biggest channels, and even if they did it'd turn into great publicity for floatplane.

    While I don't think they'd be able to get a lot of their subscribers over to floatplane completely, I do think they'd be able to pull over lots of random views by having their shorts on Facebook, Instagram and whoever else is trying to mimic tiktok these days.

  • Does your internets take a little break while these call?

    I wonder if you can just call-forward to your ex.. 🤔

  • Finland to build world’s largest air-to-water heat pump plant
  • Helen runs your wastewater through a heat exchanger before this step. I guess the actual heat is from the water treatment when the solids are being nommed on in a big bubbly pool of bacteria that give off heat. But outgoing water is warmer than incoming by itself, too.

    There's just not a whole lot of industry close enough to an urban center like Helsinki, but paper mills and burning sorted trash is usually the source for these networks.

  • Do you have any OC's? Can you tell us about any?
  • In a generic community like c/AskLemmy it's pretty far down the list of options.

  • Do you have any OC's? Can you tell us about any?
  • I haven't done that in a long time.

    Most recently I probably overclocked my original playstation portable.

  • [Weekly thread] - Discuss anything related to Android - 03-09-2024
  • I hope to see some mid-range phones that fit in a normal hand. In the 4-5" range.

    You know what they say about guys with big hands, right?

    They have big gloves.

  • I legitimately want to run Linux as my desktop OS, please tell me how to meet my requirements.
  • I went local with my music collection.

    I'm not sure if it ticks all your boxes. But there are many options for subsonic servers and clients - you can probably give it a good test run on Mac/iPhone as well. I managed to migrate from spotify painlessly enough to pass the wife test.

    I'm running navidrome as server and tempo on my phone. It'll either stream from my self-hosted server, or play offline if I've downloaded that playlist.

  • Why don't more people use Linux? - DHH
  • That brings a whole new meaning to impostor syndrome.

  • I don't think I'd want to use a platform the government is so intent on getting a backdoor access to.

    That's every platform. Telegram is just too big to push back as hard as it has.

  • My iPhone Runs Android - I'm Serious! - Installing Native Android on iPhone
  • I had Android running on my OG iPhone. Must've been around Android 2.1 or so.

    It was not really usable. More of a curiosity.

  • I've got one of them miyoo minis running OnionOS on the crapper.

    It goes into deep sleep and resumes my gameplay in seconds. With my toilet time the battery lasts months. I've finished four games in the last year split into 700 poop sessions.
