I use puppy from time to time. Works well.

I created a distro once for class that just had diaspora installed on a live CD. It was only used for demos a looong time ago. DiasporaTest.

Yep from what I understand.

Dunno. But I’ve had no issues so far with gts.

Your not wrong.

We do have automated AI that applies for jobs for you now. Its kinda hilarious in a dystopian way. https://github.com/AIHawk-co/Auto_Jobs_Applier_AI_Agent

I can’t think of any windows specific games I’ve payed for the last two years.

Such a strange world. These kind of stories makes it funny to read the headlines from time to time.

Pico can do some amazing things for sure.

I have a system76 machine. It’s been really good with steam. Or a steam deck, it’s just a PC.

Local bands are fun. That’s about all I can afford.

Flash drives and periodic transfers.

Htop or top

Its all good, as long as people watch. Upvotes/downvotes are just funny money/whose line is it anyways of internet points. AS long as people have a good time on lemmy im all good.

I have an old mac mini that was a server for a good 4-ish years.

The good:

1. They are pretty good at sticking in a closet and forgetting about them.
2. Specs are always on the decent side and some of the older models are easy to upgrade.
3. Power is ok. It sips power
4. It can run for years without issues. I still have two mac minis I used for CI/CD jobs, thin clients, etc…
5. Its a cheap mac. If you need mac for something, like building custom mac specific applications, then its a decent little machine.

The bad:

1. CPU is usually lacking compared to any computer of the same price range.
2. MAC OS. Its good at desktop but as a server, it just doesn’t have the same options/ease of use as a good linux box. You can get around that by dual booting, but its just another headache. Docker/VMs are also an option, but the RAM/CPU usage would take a hit.
3. The newer the model, the harder it is to upgrade.

I would use it as a specialty server if you have something you do automatically only macs can do. Or as a thin client/vm box.

I used to use it as a CI/CD box before github actions was a thing. If you happen to have one, sure set it up for fun. If you dont and are looking at buying one, I would suggest a cheap dell desktop or (depending on what you want to host) a pi 5 or thin client and throw linux on it.

I tried that but it got downvoted. Hackaday had a great article but people don’t like it for some reason.

Lol so what happens if all your online stuff is automated?

That means no mare ads.

Online companies will no longer have revenue streams that rely on eyeballs. Probably another subscription service…

Yep. Kobo is much better nowadays.

I told LinkedIn to opt me out. They told me to send a message to another department. Did it and it still says I’m in on the program. So I went and removed most of my data. I’m planning on getting rid of the account soon. I’ve never reviewed a job from LinkedIn in the entire time I was on the platform. What am I even doing on it? I can manage my own network much better than they can. And their jobs are all AI mining operations it feels like.

Some services Ive been looking at:

• Cheapest seems to be namecheaps own offerings: https://www.namecheap.com/hosting/email/
• Proton mail seems to be good, but I would have to pay extra for the Thunderbird integration by the look of things.

Whats some good IPTV channels?
