more exploitative than the US

🤣

Unless you’re in europe where suburbs have food places in walking distance

Speeds can’t increase forever though because physics. I was under the impression 5ghz was near the theoretical limit, so I don’t believe we’ll see 7ghz any time soon.

I just tried this and it was blurry until I logged out and back in!

“M$” was funny on slashdot 20 years ago but it’s a bit tired now.

And notepad is a lot better than it used to be.

Also, calling Microsoft as M$ is pretty cringe, like, are they really any more money grabbing than Apple, Amazon or any other big tech?

There’s some instructions here but basically:

1. sudo apt install zram-config

2. append to end of /etc/sysctl.conf:

   vm.swappiness = 180
   # disable swap readahead (since using zram swap)
   vm.page-cluster = 0 
   

   Can check these have been applied with cat /proc/sys/vm/page-cluster or .../swappiness

I also live in Europe

My x1 carbon, with tlp and kubuntu, idling with screen on estimates 20 hours battery life. Haven’t had the patience to test it yet.

If you run iCloud and syncthing on the same machine you can point syncthing at the icloud folder, and you’ve got a way to sync icloud to Linux.

Also there are plenty of Ubuntu-based distros that look different!

Apple Maps for driving

Organic Maps for hiking

Google Maps for reviews

Works very well in the UK too, not just US

True facts

I’m basically doing the same, but those “pending update, close the app to avoid disruptions” popups are kind of disrupting.

ok, but Tildes isn’t setting itself up as a Reddit competitor, like, its goal isn’t to get people to move away from Reddit. It’s just its own thing which happens to have some similarities to Reddit but with a bunch of differences too.

Been using rsnapshot for years, has saved me more than once

This looks like the kind of thing I would like to use, but I’m already tied into the plain markdown files “ecosystem“. Maybe I can import my stuff into anytype?

It solves a bunch of stuff caused by IMAP being a bit of a mess. Top of the list of JMAP benefits is:

[JMAP] is stateless. It doesn’t need a persistent connection, which is better for mobile use, which may have intermittent network access and where battery life must be conserved by turning the radio off whenever possible.

Maybe HASS is better than this but it’s not simple to schedule Hue to have the right colours at the right time. At least, not at my latitude. I’ve got separate summer and winter schedules and that helps a lot, but especially in the summer it’s pointless using the built in sunset/sunrise events.
