I text plenty of people as well. It’s a good mix of close friends and relative strangers and everywhere in between.
If my account got banned I’d make a new one. My husband has done this several times lol
I’m not exactly tryin to sing discord’s praises or anything, it has its problems as a service, especially in regards to privacy. I just think having friends outweighs being a (privacy focused) loner
I just looked and there’s 86 members in the discord. The channels we have are vidya games, music, TV & anime, IRL happenings, fishing, creative endeavors & self released music, news around the world, specs / PC tech posting, food, sports, I think you see where I’m goin with this. It’s very active, and a 86 member group chat sounds absolutely miserable. I have discord notifications turned off, I log in every once in a while as I don’t even have social media any more.
If someone likes anime and doesn’t like sports, they can tune out of those conversations all together v easily by muting a channel
Like it or not discord fulfills a niche that goes beyond texting or social media, which I think fills the role a million times worse as it’s just posting updates for some likes and random ass comments compared to conversations
I think even just installing an intake would do wonders for this setup. A hole cut with a filter would be good, an additional fan directing air at the bottom would be even better. I’m assuming this PC case has some kind of intake / exhaust. Right now it’s prob just recirculating its own air. That single fan on the prob isn’t doing that much.
Dog whatever. This is pretentious as fuck. I’m 34 years old so not exactly young but I have dozens of IRL friends in a few different parts of the country that the only way I keep in touch with them is via one discord server. I’m not about to just abandon friendships over a line in the sand like this. It’s not as easy as people make it out to be to just get them all to switch to matrix. There’s also a lot of “friends of friends” in there so it’d be extra cumbersome to get people to switch. And plenty of them are not exactly technical inclined about using computers, etc.
My roommate is rebuilding his Volkswagen 2012 Golf R’s engine right now. We were watching on YouTube, you can get a whole engine on Alibaba for like $500. Seems like it’s 50/50 of it working and being like a brand new car, or just a huge clusterfuck that won’t run and turns into a shitshow disaster
I’m an electrician and would do it myself if I wasn’t covered by trees with a house facing north in one of the least sunny parts of the country lol
You can on Instagram. Click the big logo on top of the page and click “following”.
It’s the only way I interact with a feed. The default one shows me a bunch of stuff that I’m not following, which still feels foreign to me on any website. Maybe I’m just too old. I only want to keep up with friends / family on social media
I mean they have their own repos and take a position of “hardened updates” that are two weeks older than the bleeding edge ones of Arch. I used it briefly out of curiosity a couple years ago. It seemed generally fine, although I seem to remember having issues with some AUR stuff. That’s kinda to be expected and could even just be general fuckery on the part of the package maintainers, not manjaro. It could also be on manjaro’s fault lol.
I’ve just stuck to Arch since then. Garuda and endeavour OS are both cool but I don’t feel like I’m gaining much by using either. And Garuda includes a bunch of packages that I don’t even want.
I’m more interested in what manjaro can do in the mobile phone sphere. If they can build something viable yet fun to tinker with in the next few years that has a rolling release schedule, it could make for a cool Linux phone. Ubuntu touch is probably the more stable choice tbh, but that’s the beauty of Linux.
Is he the reason I can’t open Adobe without it screeching about making an AI summary of my document (which are almost always electrical schematics so it’s useless)
I love it for ease of use. It’s very straightforward, has given me few (if any) problems over the years on the OS level. The only real issues I ran into were specific to individual docker images. I like that I can open a web UI and jump right into the shell if needed. It’s very easy to install docker images and VMs
However, there is a caveat about how it stores data I suppose. Your use case of mirroring drives is not possible on unRAID. Instead, it uses one drive for parity and redundancy, or you can do dual parity if you’re really concerned about data loss. Basically how this works is your largest drive stores all the information about all the other drives to rebuild the data in case of drive failure, including the parity drive itself can be rebuilt if it fails. So say you had a 12 TB parity drive and a dozen or so other drives for the array. All of those drives can be literally anything so long as they are the same size or smaller than the parity. They can be 12 TB, 8 TB, 500 MB, old drives you shucked out of external storage cases, whatever. And you can add / remove these at will. The parity does not count to your max amount of storage, think of it like a mirror but for every other drive
Dual parity is an extra level of redundancy. It’s basically like say you had a drive fail, and in those couple days where you order a new one or whatever, or when the data is rebuilding itself, if another drive fails, your data is still in tact. I don’t bother because this would be such a rare occurrence. I do know data rebuilds are very high read/writes for days on a drive so it can be high stress on the drive so that’s why the extra protection exists, but I still think it’s overkill unless it’s like irreplaceable data you can’t lose (remember 3-2-1 backups in those cases)
My first Linux experience was Ubuntu 10.04 32 bit I got from a CD out of a magazine from barnes and noble and it blew my mind. I had so much fun learning everything about Linux and I think I even got oblivion running on WINE, which was a nightmare compared to how easy games run on proton nowadays.
Those were the glory years for sure. Now I run Arch and want a “just werks” experience. It’s why I use unRAID for my server.
Hell yea I’m from Pittsburgh too!
Yea exactly I mean for the outer case prob needs its own intake
