@Natanox I had so much success this year using wool pellets to protect plants… dahlias and squashes particularly. I’m a convert

@Natanox Piracy isn't stealing regardless. Copying is not theft.

@Natanox
This is not the same. How many people have family, friends, colleagues on that first instance as compared to Threads?

a good read explaining the genocidal part of THAT company

To make it abundantly clear: I do not think Eugen is acting with malevolent intentions. I do however strongly criticize the lack of communication and that what he's currently doing promotes more competition instead of cooperation (even if it's by accident), which the Fediverse should not have.

The reason we're so nice to each other here is because most of us expect the other to be inherently good, or at least have good intentions even when they're angry. Competition alienates this culture.

@Natanox in almost all cases, you'll be better off just backing up stuff regularly with deja-dup / duplicity [included in @ubuntu LTS Desktop per default] or #rsync and use #btrfs since unlike #ext4 and #ZFS, it'll be less straining in terms of write operations [which are the limiting factor of SSDs] and you don't want to use "journal-less ext4" outside of embedded devices!...

#ZFS is great for NASes and Server but there is a reason why not even #Canonical defaults to using it on #Desktop.

@Natanox lvm snapshots+something, or xfs snapshots when that lands

@Natanox I like ASUS Tinker Board if you're still willing to add to the list: https://www.asus.com/us/networking-iot-servers/aiot-industrial-solutions/all-series/tinker-board/

Couldn't find any mention on a quick skim.

@Natanox Why?? Why does everyone enshitify??? *sighs heavily*

@2ndStar

Oops:

"First #RaspberryPi earned a shitstorm by hiring an ex-cop specialized in hidden surveillance.

Now they accept an investment by Sony for their propr. AI engine to be included in the next Pi. Which 👉"only sends metadata to the cloud".👈"

@Natanox

@Natanox I support your comment. I'm an AWS certified solutions architect, but i use Linode. And that is exactly why.

@Natanox Yes indeed! It is fun and nice tho! To see other views of computing!

@Natanox I have been using Linux for decades and the elitism is tiresome. Now I just use pop_os and I don't care what the elitists think about that. I just want an easy time with minimal faffing.

@Natanox I’ve started with #4 in 1997 😳 I’m old.

@Natanox where is “host your own instance”?

@Natanox the last one is a bit of Stretch, I think 😄

@Natanox@chaos.social yoko taro' story telling is nothing short of being genius in those games

@Natanox@chaos.social I have yet to use all of my 48GB

@Natanox hmmmmm agreed 😬

@Natanox note to myself: make Arch version of this and put on my website

@Natanox maybe look into windows ame if older versions of win 10 are ok

@Natanox@chaos.social this was one of the controversies around the release of Win11, even in the beta period, that it was an online only install.
