Windows 10 long term servicing channel. It’s intended for things like electronic signs but works great if you just want un bloated windows. It comes with most of the random bullshit not installed and has a longer period of security updates.
People ‘know’ how to use Microsoft products. I’m a data guy and might spend less than a day a week in word, PowerPoint, excel. Most of the time I spend in them is checking other people’s work. I’m still called on to help people with such tasks as switching from footnotes to endnotes, moving files in SharePoint, fixing formatting. My general knowledge of navigating the UI and googling fixes is better than what people ‘know’.
I think they’re saying they’ve already signed into a Google account, downloaded play store apps, and set everything up. Afterwards, they have disconnected the Chromecast from the internet and successfully continued to access their self hosted content.
Oh! Appreciate the tip. I’ll investigate this weekend
No worries! I’ve used the calibre app for ebooks in the past and it does quite well.
I use the Audiobookshelf app from AdvPlyr on the play store. I’ve been meaning to try Lissen since it’s on F-Droid, but I tried this to make sure my partner didn’t have any issues.
If I’m using it on my PC I just connect to the web UI.
I connect on all my devices with tailscale. My partner uses the same but has apparently been having issues with her phone not being able to access the tailnet when not on the same LAN. It’s not so bad though, the Audiobookshelf app lets her download her books. This works better anyway, since she travels for work and often has no service anyway.
I use abs and it’s great. My partner listens to audiobooks, I read ebooks. You just have them side by side in the library, and in the audiobookshelf android app you can choose between stream or read. You also don’t need to store them side by side, the metadata can put them together clientside anyway. I guess this would be the way to go if you thought you might try a diff ebook hosting service later.
If all you do with your ebooks is read them, I daresay you’ll have no issues because I haven’t. Supports volume controls for page turn and that’s all that I want.
Second Baikal, I’m using docker on nixos through compose2nix and it’s great for syncing both my calendar and my tasks.org todo lists. Crazy easy to setup as well.
I’ve gotten a CalDAV server, audiobookshelf, and selfhosted obsidian live sync running on my laptop while I wait for movers to bring my shit to my house. Then gotta migrate it all across to my mini PC afterwards. Doing a modular NixOS setup to replace/complement what I used to have running on proxmox.
Once everything is on a dedicated machine I’m going to make a nice little homepage for it, inspired by a previous thread here.
Ford has right hand drive escapes in Australia. Your callout about specific vehicle models is one, not entirely correct, and two, not relevant to the point of the parent comment.
Not the OP, and I don’t actually know, but paid streaming services differ from YouTube in that everyone who accesses the content is paying for the service. On one hand, you can validate that everytime a video is served, it’s served to a paying user. On the other, you are receiving revenue directly from consumers to fund the infrastructure to store and serve the videos.
YouTube, on the other hand, stores significantly more content, for free, and can be accessed for free, without being signed in.
When you pay for enterprise equipment, you are typically paying a premium for longer, more robust support. Consumer products are less expensive because they don’t get this support.
Heck even 30 minutes ahead for 1% of devices wouldve had a reasonable chance of catching this
Automatic updates should still have risk mitigation in place, and the outage didn’t only affect small businesses with no cyber security capability. Outsourcing does not mean closing your eyes and letting the third party do whatever they want.
Nope, carbon tax is different to carbon offsets. A carbon tax is intended to put an immediate financial burden onto energy producers and/or consumers commensurate to the environmental impact of the power production and/or consumption.
From a corporations perspective, it makes no sense to worry about the potential economic impact of pollution which may not have an impact for decades. By adding a carbon tax, those potential impacts are realised immediately. Generally, the cost of these taxes will be passed to the consumer, affecting usage patterns as a potential direct benefit but making it a politically unattractive solution due to the immediate cost of living impact. This killed the idea in Australia, where we still argue to this day whether it should be reinstated. It also, theoretically, has a kind of anti-subsidy effect. By making it more expensive to “do the wrong thing” you should make it more financially viable to build a business around “doing the right thing”.
All in theory. I don’t know what studies are out there as to the efficacy of carbon tax as a strategy. In the Australian context, I think we should bring it back. But while I understand why the idea exists and the logic behind why it should work, I don’t know how that plays out in practice.
Makes you connectable. If you don’t forward ports for your torrent client you can only connect to peers who are port forwarding, meaning you will download and upload more slowly in most cases.
You might know this already, but try emailing the primary authors directly and asking for a copy, it’s often the easiest way to get them if you haven’t got any other way to access.
See, you know Reddit is packed with bots when that shitty repost has 6000 upvotes and “does this sub don’t have mods” has 129.
Everyone who listens to the same downloaded 50 song playlist everytime they open Spotify premium is paying for you to use the service
But I use it much more similar to you than those people so I am also winning lol.
They mention they’re only doing things locally, and looking into using tailscale, so they aren’t exposing to public web and the security concerns you mention are a lot less important.
