Lost little Lemming…

For less money than some gaudy gaming wireless router that you end up replacing every 3 years, you can grab a Mini PC with two NICs, a wireless access point, and install OpnSense.

Your life will be irrevocably changed for the better.

Oh boy… it’s just a single staple now!

So I actually bought the f(x)tech Pro^1x thinking that it was going to be great having a physical keyboard that slides out again. But I found that I rarely actually used it. Using it required that the screen be in landscape mode. I’m actually much happier just using a different touch keyboard layout. I use Thumb-Key specifically now. It took some time to retrain my brain but I quite enjoy it.

Any software recommendations for self hosting a WebDAV server?

Chex Quest is what all the coolest kids were playing.

They definitely could have phrased this better. I think what they mean is that their level of confidentiality meets or exceeds local laws.

The Matrix

https://www.opensubtitles.com is where they are migrating .org to. They have an account migration tool if you have a .org account.

I’m not such a monkey, and I could probably contribute if I put my mind to it, but I just don’t have the time… Instead I try to contribute documentation and money when I can. Everything helps!

Maybe the lemmy.world mods are just following The Golden Path, making the Fediverse more resilient through their tyranny!

I have a Ryzen 3700x that had similar problems. In my case disabling Precision Boost Overdrive and regular Precision Boost eliminated the crashes. PB being just the regular boosting behavior of the CPU. With it turned off the CPU basically only adjusts its frequency between the idle frequency of like 800 MHz to the base clock (3.6 GHz or whatever).

I think basically what happened was the BIOS was running the CPU too hot and eventually it just couldn’t stably boost to the higher frequencies which would cause problems. It’s an easy thing to try and see if it works for you. In my case I was able to salvage the CPU by putting it into a server whose workload doesn’t benefit from moment to moment super high CPU clock speeds.

That would be telephony, which I didn’t know was even a word until I was in my 30s.

My Lemmy life flashing before my eyes…

This is ChatGPT to me:

One good latex pillow for me.

KeePassXC (there’s a Firefox extension too) and Syncthing are the first things I add to a new install.

The free software movement is actually inherently political. Much of modern digital infrastructure is built using tools / software that embodies collectivist ideologies. I would be very surprised if the Lemmy developers even claimed that they created Lemmy in some sort of apolitical clean room (not that it is even possible).

TP-Link Omada WiFi access points, dumb switches, and OPNSense running on a mini PC.

I really like the Omada line up. Affordable, and all their devices can be run in standalone mode if you don’t want to deal with an SDN controller.

Network (1976).

A prescient film that is just as relevant today as it was almost 50 years ago. A little monologue-y at times, but that’s just the style.
