I tried kde neon on my gaming PC and had endless issues. They don’t test their releases well and Nvidia drivers had a lot of problems. I’m using garuda dragonized right now (arch based) and really enjoying it. It’s highly optimized for gaming, to the point of having its own fork of proton. It also uses KDE plasma desktop, so a very similar user experience.
Nathan fillion! His brand of humor and delivery consistently hits just right for me.
Getting this specific ad one too many times is actually what finally motivated my lazy ass to switch from sync to eternity
When I graduated college my (country, but well spoken) parents wrote me a card in the most backwoods hick spelling and grammar they could come up with. Fun memory.
Is the car market in Canada that bad right now? In 2021 I got my 2011 Nissan versa with around 60k miles for about 4k (USD). You just have to be willing to pass up some luxury features and find the right deal instead of buying from a dealership.
Calling people who are trying to protect children pure evil is unhelpful rhetoric. Disagreeing with their opinion is helpful. Sharing an anecdote against their proposals is helpful. Personal attacks are unhelpful and do more harm than good for the conversation. I will admit that they set the stage in bad faith by calling their stance ‘inarguable’.
Everything starts as a luxury until the working class bands together and demands it. 40 hour workweeks, overtime, sick days. These are workplace examples, but the concept holds true everywhere. In a capitalist society things like privacy aren’t considered until someone starts exploiting them for profit, at which point people start to get serious about protecting it. And this rule applies 5x in any tech realm, as governments are notoriously slow to build legal protections in new and fast moving sectors.
All that was to address your title, which is only tangentially connected to the rest of your post. Regarding the body, companies have absolutely started to equate VPN with bad actors. Still worth having. I just whitelist the services I have to.
I use one because it lowers my screen time. I can walk away from my phone and still be aware of texts and calls from family.
I use the tiller extension in Google sheets. With the community savings budget template to allow for 0 based or “envelope” budgeting. One of the few things in my life so far ahead of every other option I couldn’t bring myself to ditch it and selfhost.
IP and port are what I put in my browser
Definitely need remote access, and tunneling in every time I want to sync my notes app is way too much work. I’ve containerized these services as a security layer and you need user creds to access anything without an exploit. I’m comfortable with that level of risk.
Dynamic DNS is a very cool thing I didn’t know exists. I’ll definitely look into it further! But for the time being I still need a fix for my problem.
100% this. I’ve gotten to where when people try and rope me into their new million dollar app idea I tell them that there are fantastic resources online to teach yourself to do everything they need. I offer to help them find those resources and even help when they get stuck. I’ve probably done this dozens of times by now. No bites yet. All those millions wasted…
This has a lot of promise!
That’s where I found my current top contenders. Nothing had exactly what I’m looking for, which is why I turned here. It probably just doesn’t exist, but doesn’t hurt to ask.
As a W2 worker, as soon as I have all the tax documents I need. The longer you wait the more people get in line in front of you in processing, which can mean significant delays on your refund. If I were a business owner and owed taxes I’d wait as long as possible, so as to make the most use of the money I owe them.
I use joplin with joplin server running through a reverse proxy in a docker container. I love it. It also supports encryption, so you could use a more convenient service like Google drive and still be assured of your privacy.
Even after all these years, I physically cringe every time I read “ReTruths”
There’s a lot of them and I want to browse them from the file explorer on my PC. I’m sure I could accomplish the same by plugging the phone in, but I don’t see the point in that when KDE connect already has the functionality I want.
Shame this is Lemmy high quality memes and not Lemmy shitpost, quality shitpost.
