Got a 486 DX4 to sell you 🤣

+1 to this. I grabbed the haOS VM proxmox script a year ago and it’s been smooth sailing ever since.

Cool! Thanks for the tip!

Huh… TIL it was cooking itself lol

30 years late info

Maybe just as a flex, most times I tried connecting at 14400 it’d drop the call. Probably that’s why I don’t go for the greatest and latest tech purchases since then

ATDT 555-1013

Crap, this is not the BBS I wanted to call… welp, might as well put something on the wall.

Greetings to the older folk on Lemmy!!

TIL you can actually use about:reader?url=https://some-random-url to get it basically anywhere!

For anybody else looking for alternative solutions, there’s Native Alpha on IzzyOnDroid

It will make the search even harder, but I’d recommend to add “removable battery” to the list.

Reader mode ftw

Edit: it also supports dark mode

Knowing myself, I shiver at the idea of my nix config… It’ll probably have more ductape than a 3M distribution center

Yes, you kinda can disable suspend, but it will still cut off spdif transmission even then. Normally that wouldn’t be an issue but my receiver is super old and takes its sweet time to start actually playing audio after it gets a signal

Got fed up of Pipewire suspending (old receiver takes ~2 sec to work again after spdif stream is cut) that now I auto-run aplay to play a silent .wav on loop

Theres are some pretty massive archives already, including Flashpoint

Every now and then my MX ergo would feel like that, I take it apart and place the plastic ball holder (just the actual plastic part, removing all electronics) in hot soapy water for a few minutes. It has 3 little ceramic bearings that even with regular cleanup end up gunking up. While wet, i use the ball to jog the bearings around, then rinse with isopropyl and let it dry. Feels as good as new.

Try duckdns, it doesnt nag you every month and it just works

I dragged my feet for over 2 years after building my homelab and not putting proxmox. I highly recommend you start out with proxmox right away. It has its quirks and learning curve, but it’s been a breeze after “getting it”.

At first I didn’t want the files inside LXC filesystems because I was used to manually poking at folders and such. But the periodic backup and restoration that gives you its the best, bar none.

I rebuilt my setup after a faulty data cable destroyed my btrfs raid0 filesystem (I know, I knew it was dumb, but I had 8tb at my disposal and I wanted to use it dangit!). Long story short, my borg-based Nextcloud AIO backups were borked and took like 3 days of research and external drive juggling to get some of the stuff out of them. With proxmox it’s a single click to get the whole thing back up and running.

Also you can use helper scripts as a sort of appstore, including turnkey appliances

My only gripe with GrayJay is the lack of proper rotation support. On a phone might be fine, but on a bedside tablet I’d like to be able to use the whole thing in landscape orientation. And no, the experimental landscape mode under options refuses to rotate the main feed screens…

Bonus points if it’d allow me to use the 180° rotation so I can leave the tablet upside down on its stand and charge it while using it

Think of it as a very generous unlimited trial, kinda like winrar but without the nag screen.

You could try a download manager like DownThemAll on Firefox, set a queue with all the links and a depth of 1 download at a time.

DtA has been a godsend when I had shitty ADSL. It splits download in multiple parts and manages to survive micro interruptions in the service
