I doubt they’d mark non-dangerous, buried by the lowest bidder, no paperwork fiber cables. But you never know.

I wholeheartedly agree. These are not the class of people to be vilifying.

Ehhhh, zoning is super important. Vilifying someone by calling them “rich homeowners” is pretty weak.

What’s Netflix? That thing I cancelled years ago?

Grocery delivery service sounds expensive… but I don’t know where you live.

I was going to recommend never keeping a balance in Venmo or the like, but understand sometimes waiting a few days for it to transfer to your bank can make things difficult.

It’s on YouTube as well.

Not trying to lay blame, but doesn’t Venmo ask where you want the money to come from every time you send money? They don’t know your bank balance…

Overdraft fees are evil. Some banks will even clear transactions to result in the most overdrafts without regard to which order the transactions took place. For example if there are two transactions, one for $100 and one for $5, and account balance of $50, they’ll purposely clear the $100 transaction first so both transactions trigger overdraft fees. They could clear the $5 first so only the $100 transaction triggers a fee, but nope.

Also, if this is your first overdraft you might have luck calling the bank and asking for forgiveness. I did that once in college and they refunded the overdraft fees.

Thanks for sharing.

With “Beginners Guide to Linux” in the title, I don’t think the video is suitable for anyone who hasn’t already tried Linux.

There’s not even a mention of what a “distro” is, and if I had never used Linux before and watched this video, I’d run away as fast as I could. It’s way too complex, and mentions way too many things that I’ve probably never heard of before.

That being said, I don’t know who his demographic is. I’m always glad to see some effort into helping people discover Linux, but I fear this might have the opposite effect.

They have a sidewalk sign out front that says “Free WoofFi, come in and stray for a while”.

I have Frigate running with a reverse proxy, a coral, etc. I just use the internal Intel GPU on my CPU and it works with a 1080p and a not-quite-4k stream (4MP maybe?). It’s no sweat for the hardware.

GPU is only used to detect motion, and you can even configure a lower resolution sub-stream from your cameras to reduce that load, but I don’t think you’ll need to.

Once motion is detected, Frigate fires up the coral to determine what is there. A car, dog, person, etc.

I have everything get recorded with no processing to a single WD Purple, the biggest I could afford. It holds months of video before rewriting over old stuff.

I have Amcrest cameras which are rebranded Dahua I think. I’m relatively happy with them, but I’ve always dreamed of owning Axis cameras, though they are a bit pricey. My cameras are on a VLAN that can’t access the internet.

Hope that helps.

I have 2 computers with KDE which I’ve been using for the past 6 months or so. I recently read about how to switch to Wayland (log out, find the option, log back in). Both of my computers were using X11, not sure why. Maybe I chose that during installation.

I switched both to Wayland and I’m going to do my best to stick to it. One of my computers has an older Nvidia card but luckily I don’t seem to have any problems.

Purely anecdotal, but maybe a large part of the 27% using X11 don’t even know the difference.

I like the OnlyOffice software. It’s almost too good, like I feel like I should be wary of it. It has connections to Russia, but apparently it’s open source and all that jazz so from what I I understand it’s just good software.

Please correct me if I’m wrong.

Either way, my Pixel 7 has a weird thing, both with OsmAnd and CoMaps, where the location updating is janky during navigation and the speed readout is stuck on 5mph. In OsmAnd I can fix this with a setting which lets me use ‘Android API’ instead of ‘Google Play Services’ for location data. Maybe I can open an issue with CoMaps to add that option.

Although it pains me to install from Google as opposed to F-Droid, it’s the only way to have Android Auto.

I’m not an expert, but I think we need more information.

Sounds good to me.

Yes, good for me. Good for everybody. Yippee!

I can only speculate, but PieFed seems great for a community like blahaj. It makes it super easy root out disrespectful users.

I’ve never needed to manually create a start menu entry. I install everything through the default repository or as a flatpak using the default software manager. I did have to manually enable flatpaks in the software manager (point for OP, admittedly).

Everything I’ve ever installed, including AppImages from time to time, always gets a start menu entry.
