At the end of the day… Cloud storage is just using someone else’s computer.

Agreed. Although I will say… While people not reading the articles was extremely common on reddit… Sadly, I feel like Lemmy is even worse about it.

My neighbors dog is Wayland. He’s a good boy!

With AI absolutely exploding… It’s very easy to ask for step by step directions to accomplish things. AI clearly still needs to mature… But… The times I’ve asked it for some basic, step by step directions, it’s been effective.

While I don’t disagree videos make a lot of things easier (I for sure am a visual learning, no question), the step by step instructions for things I’ve gotten have been good, and very easy to follow.

Damn… 8 years? I made it almost two years with tumbleweed on my work laptop.

I like mixing it up, trying different diatros and various programs. After awhile, a fresh install just feels nice…

This Pic makes me feel like. It!

Man… That’s fucked… But I sure as hell did just share this with some of my buddies. Haha

Absolutely hate the fact that their drivers and firmware updates (for servers) are stashed away behind ludacris support contracts.

Have a simplivity stack at work, and for two nodes with an off site DR, needed an $8,000 support contract just to get the latest drivers and firmware to upgrade to the latest VMware version simplivity supports.

One shot deal, as we are already planning the move away from VMware and getting plans together for budgets to do so…

Maybe they all do this…? Admittedly I’ve not had to go looking for drivers or firmware updates on the few dells we have as they are air gapped systems that just run for a very specific purpose… So I honestly am not sure. But HP absolutely sucks in this regard as far as Im concerned.

I picked up an Epson eco tank printer for my wife a couple years ago, and it’s been fantastic! My wife, being a kindergarten teacher has a knack for absolutely killing printers… And this little Epson has been a work horse!!! I have nothing but good things to say about it!

I got the email, also… And like you, I’ve not used reddit since the api BS. I’ve not logged in, commented or anything since just before sync stopped working.

That looks… It reads like… “Quick… What can I say to get out of this?!”

See… I’m the opposite… I change and hip around and reinstall across various machine so often, changing the setting has just become second nature… I don’t even think about it anymore! Hahahaha

Shout out to Plaindealer. The move to remove the pay wall so EVERYONE can read this story online. That’s a nice “Fuck you” to the thieves. Haha.

I feel like we’ve seen this show before…

Wait… Mine is 9.9.9.9, too!

I do this for expansion. I can expand the pool three drives at a time instead of 6. But, I set it up knowing the risk with a single parity drive…and I’ve acounted for that with backups. 👍

I’d do a pool with 2x vdevs, each with three drives in raidz1

I’m sure Trump just wanted to talk… And… If I’m the prosecution I’d probably be OK with it, banking on this exact outcome. Haha

Just to add to this… I rarely print anything, but my wife (an elementary school teacher) prints all kinds of stuff! We picked up an eco tank printer from Epson. We’ve had it now for a coupe years and it’s been fantastic! We would replace ink cartridges a few times a year previously… Where as with the eco tank we do about once a year. The print quality has held up, and it’s just been a good little work horse for her!

Amen. 9 years on reddit. I spent countless hours per week browsing and posting. I don’t have Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat or any of that shit… Literally was just reddit. And he destroyed it.

If I being honest… I know that all those hours I was wasting was literally just that… Wasted time. But… I enjoyed it, so I don’t care. I miss the good ol reddit days.

Fuck Spez should be a t-shirt.

Edit: I should clarify that I DO appreciate what has gone into the fediverse and it provided me a place to go for a similar experience. To any of the devs and people growing it… Props to you all! The dev who made sync work for lemmy… My dude… Thumbs up! Sync was hands down my all time favorite reddit app, and now I have it here!
