@ademalsasa I use Pleroma and Mastodon both. I prefer Pleroma even though it's probably less userfriendly than Mastodon. The nice thing about Pleroma though is it supports both its own interface, and the Masto interface.

@deutrino @ademalsasa I think Usenet predated Fidonet, but they were both pretty close. I think Usenet was a project of various universities with some of the very early autodialers and UUCP in 1979, while Fidonet emerged out of the Hobby space as home computers grew in popularity, in the 83-84 range. I was a Fidonet user long before I knew what Usenet was though.

PiKVM
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mdevaev/pikvm-v3-hat These are pretty cool. Can't wait to get some in the home lab and try them out.

@stuff Where did you find one for so much? Earlier this year the one I stayed in was $100 per night. Looks like that one is $140 now if I wanted to rent it later this week.

@gat Yeah, I wonder. Though, when you're out in rural areas, it's probably close to 90-95%. I can count on one hand the number of houses I went to in my home town that had 0 firearms. (That's why it wasn't a huge deal when they made firearm ownership mandatory there.)

re: I remodeled my house
@stuff In mine, the garage opens straight to the kitchen. Yeah, there probably should be an entryway for you to remove any muddy clothes before the kitchen or laundry room. I don't have a good way of moving the door though, the only other position would put it into the living room. We don't even technically have a mudroom either though, the living room just has a tiny spot of linoleum for you to step onto when removing shoes/etc by the front door.

@Moon Wow, I've never had that happen with btrfs, but I haven't used it as extensively as zfs. How about adding a device to the file system so that it has more space to expand out to?

@fribbledom I guess you already got that far though, haha.

@fribbledom The 3 on the right have 2 mines, the 2 on the top have 1 mine, that means that the two in the bottom left are mines. That means that the 4 in the corner now has 2 mines adjacent. Next, the top pair are the 50-50 chance, and the bottom 5 and 4 are a couple of 2/3rds chance of being a mine, so I would have gone with the far left remaining square not being a mine. Then, if that's not a mine, then the far right box is a mine, then you have another 50/50 chance.

@requiem I've always been using Newsblur. I don't think it's a lot like pinboard though? It is run by a very small company though, and is open source, even though the infrastructure is so complex that it's hard to run on your own.

@Cheeseness I'm not sure they're specifically targeting those people who have good ports, they're probably just broadcasting it to all devs.

@Cheeseness (Basically, if a dev is just doing it to check a box and they're not going to keep it updated and keep paying the porter, I'd rather they went the route of making it work well on proton.)

@Cheeseness I'm not talking about him in particular. There's just been a ton of ports where they took short cuts and ended up with a buggy linux port that underperforms Proton and falls out of sync. I think that native ports are important though, but even more important is a good user experience for gaming on linux. I'd rather have a developer that cares about making sure their game works perfectly under linux using either method, than demanding a native port.

@anime @Moon Be sure to check ProtonDB too though, they only whitelist things that they test themselves, but the community tests a lot of things with SteamOS and you can turn the compatibility layer on yourself.

@Cheeseness True, though to avoid that we need to make sure the porters are doing a good job. There's some ports out there that are actually worse experiences than just running the windows version in proton.

@csepp @plasmamobile @PINE64 Yeah, my pinebook pro didn't have a particularly fantastic default image either. Luckily there were better ones quickly after release.

@csepp @PINE64 @plasmamobile They've shipped it with a variety of systems over time here. UBports, Mobian, KDE, postmarketOS, and Manjaro. It seems like they've settled on the Manjaro Plasma distro. Maybe it was the most popular community edition? I suggest checking the wiki and picking out a different image. These are still largely beta devices for OS developers and enthusiasts though.

@stuff @Moon Mine crashed a bit harder than that, but I bought it about a month before it crashed here, and it dropped 50% and took about 10 years to recover back to its original level. (185k down to about 120k) This area of colorado had a delayed crash though. Because our natural gas industry was booming, our housing held its value while the rest of the country crashed, but as soon as Gov Ritter passed the oil and gas regulations, everything here crashed harder.

@stuff Colorado, out here in the desert 1/5th of the state.

@stuff @bub @deprecated There's apparently a hidden backup handle to open the tesla's door, but if you're the kind of person who doesn't read the manual, you might not know about it, and passengers definitely wouldn't read the manual.
