Antennapod definitely is the GOAT. Been using it for years, it only got better. I hate the whole “podcast app” thing and like to just simply subscribe to RSS feeds and automatically download my podcasts and Antennapod does that for me. It’s so out of the way.
Antennapod does offer that by hooking into the gpodder.net API.ive had varying success with gpodder.net but hosting that yourself (I host it as an app on my Nextcloud) is a breeze
Not to be nitpicky but 45kW? That seems like a hell of a charger and I’d like to see the ISB-C cable that can handle that ;)
Can’t quite speak for the n100 but I got a n305 one of these “China PCs” it’s passively cooled (which was important since it’s running in my bedroom) and seems to have amazing performance for what I need (I put jellyfin on there). I’m quite happy after futzing around with ARM SBCs and external drives this just works so well.
I work in hosting. We mostly use Proxmox for our Hypervisors which is already a step up from “bare” KVM in regards to convenience/ease of use (especially for High availability scenarios and the like) We also run VMWare and while I don’t love the “locked down you gotta do it the VMWare way” nature it’s often so much easier and the HA is mich more convenient. Also it has proper functionality for custom resourcing/access/billing.
What? How broken are we all that you first thought is “Nice then I can work two jobs” The only way this really works if they pay living wages for 3 day work weeks. And I know they aren’t even paying those now for 5-6 days but this is a point we have to insist on and make them do it. Workers have managed to enforce a 8 hour work day a long time ago. We need to remember our strength and fight for better conditions.
I remember the first time I saw ads on YouTube, I had just set up a new computer and wanted to test everything. So I opened Firefox and loaded a YouTube video. I got a preroll and wondered “wait ad’s, on YouTube?” Then I realized I had been using AdBlock for so long I never witnessed the transition from ad free YouTube to YouTube with ads.
These days I use unlock origin, Sponsorblock and revanced. For now it still works but maybe I’ll leave YouTube soon :/
Yeah they’re using the hell out of dark patterns and then switch them up mid process i.e. clicking the big green “Ok” Button will first be the one that gets you to pay more later you need to hit “Ok” to proceed without additional fees.
I recently went through the process with a friend. Both of us reasonably tech savvy and under 35 and we almost went mad. So it’s not just old folks.
I’ve been using signal since forever. Recently when there was a big exodus from Whatsapp because of their changed data policies was the first time I felt an impact with response time in the app etc. I immediately set up a regular donation. A few months later they came out with there cryptocurrency scheme I decided I won’t be funding any cryptocurrency so I cancelled my donations. I trust signal on the technical side implicitly. But they have lost my trust in the business side :/
Seriously. I’m just wating for a 3,5" form factor SSD where most of the chassis is cooling and inside it’s just a 2230m.2
I had heard about it before and gave it a quick Google earlier. But didn’t know the meme so I guess that joke went over my head :)
What? Linux.
Yeah … No.
I’m generally not a fan of party politics (though I realize you often have to bite the bullet on voting). But the pirate party here (Germany) is a really problematic bunch some of them thinking freedom means free markets some of them thinking free speech means they should be able to say hateful Nazi shit … Really not a party I want to vote for, even in a pinch.
I’ve been on 16GB of ram on all of my machines for so long … It’s really the sweet spot for everything I do (gaming etc. ) I don’t do media production or anything like that. All that said I’m currently in the market for a new machine and will probably get 32GB “just to be safe” but since my next laptop will probably be a framework I don’t have to make the decision till I actually need the ram and even then I can still decide to get one stick first the other later and the prices scales pretty linearly.
8GB might still be enough for some web browsing and stuff but apple should not put this little RAM in anything they call professional.
And before anyone says “you only need that much ram in Windows” well … I don’t and won’t be running Windows ;)
Yup just wanted to comment that it’s basically the “Yes you can track me” button vs the “I will pay” button. A lot of news sites already do the same thing. Not a paywall with content you can only see when payed but a pay or give consent to ads (which means tracking)
Yep. Use it at work every day (on Ubuntu). Gives you more features than the “oicial preview client” used to do (like custom video backgrounds and screen sharing on Wayland) but you can run it as a seperate app instead of just in your browser.
While I agree that Mic am not working can be difficult to work out with none technical people I have that experience with Teams every day. I work in IT, as do my colleagues and every morning the first call goes like “Can you hear me now?” “Gotta switch the mic.” …this is on teams on Windows/Mac and Linux … So in my anecdotal experience browser based solutions are no better or worse
