Better than snaps and AppImages. Do I want every package on my system to be replaced by a Flatpak? No. Am I glad that I can ex. install Zotero as a Flatpak instead of having to build it myself? Yes.

Very cool, looks like a more feature-rich version of ytfzf.

You are onto something here…

Just use Ollama.

I’d buy a Nokia flip phone immediately if HMD would stop locking the bootloaders of their KaiOS devices. Great little gadget, very little customizability.

I am not sure if advertising is a necessary evil. I guess I do not like being sold something constantly, and when I am in the market for anything, I will expose myself to advertising willingly, but it is, in way, a matter of consent. I can imagine that there is also people who like being sold things unsolicited, you know, they might say that they like discovering new products through advertisements.

The RPi was always very overpriced. I think they knew they were selling a lifestyle product from day 1, you know, “here’s the new toy for the tech crowd that has too much money anyway”. Sometimes I cannot believe what ridiculous sums of cash people give out for SoCs with custom cases that are definitely not worth the pay-up, ex. the whole clockworkOS computers which got abandoned by the manufacturer few months going forward, and the massive financial hurdle to become a part of the user community means the community/fan crowd just implodes as soon as the tech bros find a more shiny device to waste money on. Then all you got is abandoned hardware with no community support.

Remote? Do you connect yourself over telnet or what?

I had Opera on my Nokia 2600. I think it was called a WAP browser back then. Tiny mouse cursor on a 150x170px screen, good times.

I personally use a firewall for containing the local services I am running on my non-server PC, ex. Tiny Tiny RSS. If I am only using Tiny Tiny RSS locally, it’s just potentially dangerous to make this service visible and accessible for every client in my local network, which in my case, isn’t populated by my own personal devices, as I live in a dormitory. Other than that, you can block the well-known ports of commonly exploited protocols such as UPnP. That’s not because someone will “break into your device” with UPnP, but rather as a matter of digital autonomy, to control the mode of network communication done by the software on your device.

For 350€, you can buy yourself a Radeon Pro workstation card. I have a W6600 in my Linux workstation, works great with Blender. For about 80€ more, you can buy yourself the current gen AMD entry workstation card: W7500. The W6600 is sufficient too, it’s the last-gen high-end workstation card nevertheless.

I personally prefer Team Red on Linux. Much better driver support.

Whoa, that website has a slick design!

2138 is the year of the Linux desktop!
