Wasn’t really about triggering, I had just seen a post that ChatGPT will refuse to acknowledge that he is one.

Elon Musk is a Nazi, AND the Chinese government murdered student protestors in the 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre.

Yep, that’s right. In theory you could share the encrypted DB with the public and not degrade security. (Still don’t do that though…)

Oh shit, yes, hosting at-home and with a non-static IP sounds like hard mode, oof.

I am hosting at a server provider (guess I am dependent on them, but at least it’s on their existence, not on a policy-of-the-day), with a static IP. Had no problems with MS/Google, only with T-online, who wanted me to host a website on the domain with clear contact information.

Fair TBH. It is such a critical service to keep working.

But it does feel pretty amazing to free yourself of the whims of a provider 😅 I assume that’s why you have not gone back either? ^^

I’m using Hetzner in Germany. Need to message them to say you want the relevant ports opened (spam protection measures), happens within an hour usually.

I quite like their service, but of course use full disk encryption etc

Selfhosting. (But I recognize that that is not an option for everyone.)

We were talking about SwiftKey

Who knows?

Unless a piece of software is open source, you cannot know.

A high-quality laptop without any branding.

I’m currently using a 9-year-old, woefully underpowered laptop made by Xiaomi. Full aluminium unibody, and NO logo. Not printed on, not etched in, not glistening only in the right light. NO LOGO.

I’m not a billboard. I’m not responsible for your brand recognition. Ironically though, far more people have come up to me and asked “hey, what laptop is that” than ever would have cared if there was a logo on it.

It also just looks and feels fantastic, all-aluminium-no-logo just looks so sleek.

So yeah. I will not be upgrading until I find another laptop of the same build quality, with no logo. Tuxedo has that option for most of their laptops, but for some reason not for their only current full-aluminium body -.-

Oh, and don’t come at me with stickers.

I switched a couple of months ago, from SwiftKey. Had been using that for ever, long before Microsoft bought it.

NGL, the transition was a bit rough, and the first month my error rate spiked. All good now though, plus Futo has a bunch of super useful features SK never had. Overall, very happy.

Yep, though it’s currently just a portfolio site I link to in applications.

Plus also some selfhosting (jitsi, personal mailserver + webmail and contacts+calendar), though most other stuff is on a second domain and pointed at my home.

I am using both and this somehow made it to my phone, wtaf

Yeah, +1.

I’ve been an avid fan of applocation launchers like rofi and dmenu on the desktop forever, and the “swipe down and immediately search” feels as close as it can get to the mobile equivalent of those.

When I first switched to nix, I made an error copy-pasting my hashed password into a secrets file.

Reninstalled the system 5 times, each time immediately locking myself out, almost

Managing ~35 machines without issues now though.

Dang, oof

FWIW, Lidarr works the worst out of the arr stack for me too. I don’t know if there’s just not enough well indexed material in my sources or what, but yeah, not great.

If your entire experience with the arr stack has been Lidarr so far, give it another shot! Sonarr and Radarr work absolutely perfectly. It’s just such a nice feeling to open Jellyfin (or I guess Plex) on the TV and go “oh nice new episode is out!”

Might even be worth checking if https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware has a straight-up fix for the issue.

I have been scrolling on the front page for a couple of minutes now, and I was going to write that it’s literally all conspiracy theories, but that’s not true, there’s also some “sponsored” posts AKA ads sprinkled in.

What a sad joke.

If you think the fediverse is too centralized, you can always host your own instance. You get all the same “free speech” benefits (plus no free-speech ban on drugs and porn), without having to put one foot into that cesspit of a site.

Edit: oh, and that has to be the worst moderation system ever devised - at least if you are a woman or any kind of minority. Good fucking luck in finding a random jury of users who will ever, ever ban a racist or sexist piece of shit on a platform like this. Come to think of it, that’s probably the idea and justification behind the system: being able to loudly proclaim “we have a democratized ban system ensuring moderator overreach is impossible!” does make a great dogwhistle for “you can be a terrible human on here, don’t worry”

Yeah :(
