If I were to guess, I’d say they may get a discount but Lenovo could be reducing their margin to incentivize people away from Windows so they can stop paying out Windows licenses in the future.

It isn’t even a decade old… anyway, it got market share for a reason. It was immediately a big step up from other free offerings in ease of use, UI, and eventually in features too.

My eyes. Everything I’ve seen of AI detectors does not Inspire confidence in me. I don’t feel like I can trust their results due to the inevitability of incorrect guesses, so I don’t bother using them.

I have all my apps running in Docker under Jailmaker and I don’t intend on moving to TrueNAS apps unless I am forced to. Currently I could move this entire setup to any machine I want, set up my jail mount points, launch up Dockge and I’d be up and running (with the same static IP at that!). If I moved to TrueNAS apps I think the transition and handling of mount points would probably be painful. If they remove jailmaker support in 25.xx like I’ve heard I’ll look into Incus or other solutions before using their apps.

I haven’t played Genshin in a couple of years but it’s definitely one of the better ones from what I’ve seen. I played through f2p until I had a sense of the game and was confident in the content and monetization model. After that I did spend whatever it was, five bucks(?), for the “battle pass” but honestly as long as you have the time to grind then Genshin is fairly non-invasive. That grind is why I quit though, the end game was a slog.

You trade me some of your friends and I’ll give you some of my alone time, dealio?

Mouse sensitivity. Every game it’s just ESC spam until I can get an options menu. Shoutout to the games with a 5m gameplay intro before you can access options. Super double special shoutout to games with 5m of very loud unskippable cutscenes before you can change audio settings.

Not sure if he’s up your alley, but I enjoy Ryu (ryukahr) for this. I find his content cozy. I only watch his Mario channel but he has another channel with full play throughs of other games, mostly retro.

I installed this after seeing your v1 post and already got use out of it resizing some images on mobile. The only thing I noticed as lacking was a multiple file selector, so this is a great first update!

With just a single account on any most Lemmy server(s) you can read and write everything most things everywhere else.

Click on the “all” button and you’ll see content from all some subreddits on all some servers.

I know I am nit-picking, but this over-selling of federation as if it “just works” and takes no manual effort almost drove me away when I first joined. It did and still does drive me away from Mastodon, but Lemmy is not as problematic.

At any rate, I know we don’t want to overload new users with talks of defederation and unfederated content, but pretending it doesn’t exist makes for a very frustrating time the first time someone realises they can’t see 50% of the posts or thinks Lemmy as a whole is really quiet when it’s because their server isn’t federated 100% with every other server.

I see it in the default WebUI, perhaps whatever app you’re using doesn’t support it?

I added a cheap PCI 4 slot NVMe expansion card and a couple of SSDs for a new pool and then migrated all the database-heavy stuff over to it. Required some use of local ZFS send/receive which I didn’t know was possible, but it has gone smooth so far. Very happy with it! It no longer sounds like my HDD pool is trying to escape from hell and some of the services are much snappier, especially Bitmagnet. I’d highly recommend it as an upgrade for anyone still running purely HDDs. I thought I could get away with it but ZFS speeds are no faster than single drives and the amount of stuff I had was hammering it non-stop.

I also bought my own domain finally to escape the free-tier dynamic DNS woes and I can finally feel good about sharing links with other people. I slapped a file share container with disabled registrations on a sub domain. I put it all behind free tier Cloudflare to hide my server’s IP, it took a little bit of learning what the different records are but so far much easier than I thought. Although I have yet to do the hardest part of setting up dynamic IP for my DNS records. I see a bunch of scripts floating around, but none seem that easy or well-maintained…

Oh, and the PI I’ve had running Pi-Hole v5 for god knows how long with no maintenance couldn’t run Tailscale, so I wiped the entire thing to start fresh and got it up and running with Pi-Hole v6, Tailscale, and Unbound. I like having these separated from my other services as they are more critical to have at all times and I have had 100% uptime with my Pi so far. Although I chose Dietpi for my OS on a whim because it looked interesting and am not sold on it. I like that it has easy software installs with sane defaults so I probably saved time overall, but the amount of time I spent debugging the weird choices Dietpi made for basic shit like networking options really threw me off.

I just wish more of the non-US ones supported .ca domains. :(

tbf, there are a lot of porn sites

It’s pretty bad. That said, I search for “gethomepage” and find it every time.

I tried Firefly but sadly had to give it up. Every action felt like such a slog to do and overkill for what I wanted. I love tracking in detail but it was a bit much even for me. At the end of the day I just want to track in/out + categories and put this data in a few charts. I still find my spreadsheet is better at that.

It’s for people that like tracking things in detail, greasemonkey or no. I use it mostly for the gas mileage feature but also set up a couple of service reminders and added my service receipts. All easy to do but if you miss a fuel up it’s kind of annoying to track it right.

The primaries that are not required to be democratic and can simply be rigged by the party?

I wouldn’t call America a dictatorship yet, but I would claim that it is heading there at a rapid pace. Trump and Republicans actions such as disregarding the Constitution, removing rights, beginning mass deportations including legals, bringing in a billionaire to shred the government, and ignoring court orders is not a good look for a democratic government.

I have a large backlog of five(?)+ plus year old games that are really good and I have yet to play. I’d much rather burn through those enjoying them on high settings instead of playing current games on low settings while trying to dodge crap monetization.

I’ve had this happen twice in two weeks since installing Watchtower and have since scheduled it to only run on Friday evening…
