They think this will take some of the heat off of them. Hopefully no one actually thinks this is a reasonable compromise. If I want to help an elderly family member install something on their phone during Thanksgiving dinner or a family reunion, I’m not gonna want to wait a day. Uncle Paul’s flying back to Florida tomorrow morning!

Don’t make me tap the sign:

Good example of why I don’t rely on technology I don’t control. I want my workflow to be future-proof and have a predictable cost.

I don’t know your exact use case, but I suspect that learning Godot might be very worth it. It’s a really intuitive engine.

I wouldn’t give someone I barely know a second or third chance after being told to get out and then ghosted. If he doesn’t respect you, that’s an absolute dealbreaker, in my opinion.

I’ve recently gotten really into HelixNotes, which I sync to my phone via Syncthing. And the developer is on Lemmy. They’ve been pushing a lot of updates so I’m excited to see where it goes.

Fuckin’ “A.”

AutoHotkey. I’ve been meaning to try out AHK_X11 although I don’t think there’s a Wayland option yet :\

Oh and CorelDRAW. Inkscape is not bad but its UI is not quite as slick.

I think I got the art part settled: https://www.spriters-resource.com/ms_dos/doomdoomii/asset/27876/

If no one else does this, I think I might

If you’re referring to LinuxVox, it no longer works for me either. I’m pretty sure it’s an AI content mill anyway.

I’ve been noticing that more and more projects are being hosted on Codeberg lately. Some examples:

• Forgejo (The software that powers Codeberg!)
• HelixNotes
• Mineclonia
• Pay Respects
• SuperTux Advance
• Betula
• Nitropage

Wear Sunscreen

If I could offer you only one tip for the future, Sunscreen would be it

I got Terminus for the TRMNL set up using Podman on my server running NixOS.

Although I’m actually planning on replacing Terminus with my own simple server app that way it can be even more declarative (no Postgres database of devices/users/screens) and easier for me to customize. The API I’ll have to implement is extremely straightforward, so I don’t anticipate it taking too long.

I’m curious what alternative to Pi-hole you set up. (I’m planning on installing Pi-hole soon but wanna hear all my options)

good bot

Take this with a grain of salt since I haven’t done much scraping (yet; I have a project I just started planning)

I’ve heard you’re more likely to get blocked for using a VPN since some sites will block requests originating from data centers, which is less likely to happen coming from a residential IP address. (Although if you’re already using a VPS, the right proxy may help)

This might be useless advice, but it might just be best to increase (and randomize) the amount of time between requests.

And to answer your question, Mullvad is what I use, and it’s what I see reccomended (from both Reddit, and The Wirecutter) the most often because they store so little of your data, and you can even pay in cash.

I’m so dumb. I thought this was gonna be about “free as in beer” media
