Been running one from Radxa for a while. Just make sure to check the power requirements of your drives.

The HAT-ability of RPi makes them enough for me. You can add sata ports, PCIe, and more with a simple HAT.

Doesn’t make them less clever.

I feel it’s worse than this. Imagine being the brightest mind in college, have a ton of experience, just to invent new algorithms to get people to click on more ads.

I use YouTube the most of all streaming services. Yet I don’t understand why there isn’t an affordable easy to use option, that includes no ads and a high CPM for creators.

My understanding is YouTube premium, doesn’t highten the payout to creators, but rather just substitutes the dirt poor ad revenue per impression.

I’ve been using NextDNS for a while now. It’s great compared to VPN implementations like Blokada because it frees up your phone to use an actual VPN.

I’ve found PDNSQS for when I need to temporarily disable ad blocking, a really nice addition.

Free as in freedom. Not free beer.

You gotta admit, it’s fun to meme the opposite camp. Whether you are a GUI or CLI person.

What is it with Lemmy and far-[left | right] politics…

Things break in weird ways on Linux due to dependencies. Snap/Flatpak/AppImage has yet to show if it’s enough to fix the issue.

They gathered as much data they could on dislikes before it was removed, so it also shows actual numbers on older videos.

Curious, what’s wrong with Spotify?

I’ve been in the same boat, and ended up installing a lot of utils just to keep my sanity. I used this guy as a primary resource: https://youtu.be/cfsNO14hikA

Where I’m from, it’s legal to download cracked games so long as you’ve bought it legitimately. Paying for games isn’t a problem, it’s treating everyone as suspects that bugs me.

I feel like this has been happening for a few years. Maybe it’s age, but I increasingly find better tech related content on HN.

It’s also part of what I want to avoid with something GUI-based/low maintenance.

I don’t really think auditing is a compelling argument for FOSS. You can hire accredited companies to audit and statically analyse closed source code, and one could argue that marketable software legally has to meet different (and stricter) criteria due to licensing (MIT, GPL, and BSD are AS IS licenses), that FOSS do not have to meet.

The most compelling argument for FOSS (for me) is that innovation is done in the open. When innovation is done in the open, more people can be compelled to learn to code, and redundant projects can be minimised (i.e. just contribute to an existing implementation, rather than inventing a new). It simply is the most efficient way to author software.

I’m probably wearing rose tinted glasses, but the garage and bedroom-coders of the past, whom developed on completely open systems moved the whole industry forward at a completely different pace than today.

Reddit def won, but I have no idea why people still continue to moderate it for free. It’s crystal clear that the do not care about their mods, and for all intends and purposes treat them as peasants.

.world is biggest because it’s the biggest. Also RIF.

Can vouch for NextDNS too.
