But Tailscale is free, works very easily and reliable and it is set up in minutes. I will only be motivated to look into all that when tailscale isn’t free and reliable anymore… I guess that will eventually happen at sometime in the future.
I think because it lets them see themselves as scientists or so
Honestly a not-the-worst back-up for a starter is just regularly (monthly for example) plugging in an external SSD, HDD or even a memory stick and put data you value in cold storage. Almost all can be rebuilt and gathered again, except data you personally value.
On mobile Voyager is quite nice imo
There’s just one little hurdle: choose an instance when joining. Maybe it could just be some sort of “choose for me” and every instance gets equal new users, random. Of course with the option to “nope, I’ll choose instance myself”. Everything else is technical and a casual new user shouldn’t be bothered very much by it. Some are very interested and dig in to the knowledge, some just want to scroll cat pictures and call it a day, and that is fine too.
They want ever more power and control. Money is just a tool to get that. Most billionaires are sociopaths.
Same. Spent about 65 € I think, now it’s looking like > 200 €
I think even both teddybears and soap are quite regulated markets in EU, could probably require a capital to enter the market a lot larger than you would think, to get anywhere beyond the local flea market level of sales.
Lol Volkswagen, the company that actively rigged diesel cars to pass the tests… ? Dieselgate. The German car manufacturers are hopelessly late at EV because they wanted to drain every last penny out of their ICE. The EU setback to extend ICE is after German car manufacturers lobbied… They are killing themselves in the long run, for bit more production in the short run. They saw this all coming decades ago and made wrong choices. Now they’re fucked. The Volkswagen id (EV) sales numbers are so disappointing they had to lower production and make employees stay home.
“trick some of them accidentally” is definitely underestimating average users. In my experience 95% + of all users click consent once, all is stored forever and they’ll never see the banner again, for sure not on the same device. They don’t do adblocking, no automatic cookie deleting, in fact no browser extensions at all. The average fediverse user is a weird mix of a 1990’s internet poweruser with a today tech kid trying to make it into the future technologies on their own terms and by faaaar not an average user visiting average website on average devices with average browsers and configurations. In short: most people don’t experience this ‘problem’ like us, because they consent by default to anything you throw at them and are then in the gated tracking paradise where there’s barely any cookienagging, visiting the same handful of websites all the time anyway.
Not German but moved to Germany. The word is still a normal word, it can be used, only in certain contexts not.
To me it is very very weird.
Especially in a comboword there is 0,0 issue: Reiseführer, Bergführer, etc. The no go zone seems very subtle to me, it’s more about pronunciation and context, not the word itself. Especially the word “Führerschein” is super weird to me when used in regular conversations. I automatically hear translated “license to be the Führer”, but it just means driver’s license and nothing else and no one finds it weird.
I’m just replying so I’ll find your comments back easily in a few days
Main reason it can flourish as assistant in the first place is that Google search engine became shit
The shittiest apps come pre-installed.
Pi works fine for trying and if you only want to stream 1 thing at a time in 720p. Just try it.
If it somewhat works but you find it slow, buy an old SFF office computer < 50 € and experiment further… Either pay close attention which integrated GPU it has or buy a cheap PCI videocard with it.
That’s because they are big mechanical whirring machines. Solar panels are dead quiet and don’t throw intermittent shade and have a very low risk of causing damage in the surrounding. There’s good reasons they are forbidden for the average household to put on top of the chimney…
Musicbrainz Picard, there is no better user friendly solution.
Yes, it can seem like a lot of work, but you can also look at the flip side: you can learn a whole lot about the music you like in the process.
If music metadata is missing for stuff you have and like, add it to musicbrainz yourself. No, it isn’t particularly fun, but someone has to do it. I do it sometimes for more “local” albums of which I own the physical record or CD.
If shit is really messed up and you have a historic collection of mp3s from back in the days when getting a full album took a long time: don’t be scared to throw stuff out and source it again. It’ll likely be much higher quality for same or smaller filesize and have better metadata from source already, which makes using musicbrainz a lot easier. And what took many hours back then takes seconds to minutes now.
The only thing I’m looking/waiting for is a jellyfin audio player that automatically goes to full screen visualisation or lyrics after a determined amount of seconds of music playing + no user inputs… Wish I could do it myself and contribute to the project, but alas.
But some wealthy pockets with strong political connections got filled along the way during privatization and that’s all they cared about.
