And overpopulation!

Yeah, Ethernet connectivity is a common issue in Linux. This is why it’s almost never used in servers. It’s definitely not something you are doing wrong.

Nothing but a lot of people who don’t know what they’re doing use them instead of routers or gateways. This gives their devices direct access to the internet which is a major security issue but it also means that they end up using all IP adresses that their ISP will provide. All new devices that try to connect will fail to get a new address. Then they go online and ask why their internet connection is shit.

I always get bad vibes when beginners talk about internet connectivity issues and are using a switch. You do have a router too, right?

Newton’s third law of motion clearly says that this will take exactly 0 ∆V.

More than Elon had, apparently.

Damn, I just thought the joke was that the letters were referred to as “English”. Boy, was I disappointed.

Or worse, it means you’re not as good as you thought you were.

Hey, sorry I didn’t reply until now but life has been pretty hectic and I also kinda borked my streaming VM right at the same time as I wrote that. I ran Nobara Linux for a while with KDE on Xorg and it actually worked pretty well. Then I decided I wanted to give Bazzite a try but I didn’t like the whole immutable thing. I went back to Nobara just to find that Steam Remote Play straight up didn’t work and I couldn’t know if I had failed to set up something properly or Valve just broke it while I was “away”. A couple of days ago I decided to just abandon Remote Play for the time being and deployed Games on Whales and it seems very promising so far. Much easier than fiddling with VM:s and GPU passthrough and Sunshine/Moonlight has never failed me.

I run a gaming Linux VM on my server and it works fine.

Yeah, embracing open standards sounds like a totally Nintendo thing to do.

What the actual fuck. This is terrible!

Bitwarden and Vaultwarden

I don’t know about Mac OS but Bitwarden syncs just fine to my Android and Linux devices from my server.

Funny: Headline: My personal thought; Here’s what I think [weird]

I’ve done this for years and it works great.

Keeping my Fairphone 5!

Hello there.

Sent from my Fairphone 5

The amount of ram was probably the main issue. Everything took forever or the apps simply crashed. Multitasking was completely out of the question as the apps were immediately killed when something else got higher priority.

I actually bought the Pixel 7A just a couple of weeks before the FP5 was announced. This was dumb but my old FP3+ was simply unusable so I really needed a replacement and I felt certain that the FP5 wouldn’t have OLED. I ended up selling the Pixel to my sister who also needed a new phone and I got myself the FP5. We are both very happy.

I think it’s pretty obvious that the Pixel is a “better” phone when it comes to the general experience from using it. However, I really do feel that this phone is “mine” in a way that I’ve never had with anything other than Fairphone. “If you can’t open it, you don’t own it” and all that. As soon as Lineage is released, I will install it but the stock rom is not bad.

I don’t think I have the same privacy needs as you seem to have so I can’t really give any advice on that front. I don’t have adversaries on the nation state or even law enforcement levels so just having control over which non-FOSS is installed is enough to keep me happy.

I’m not sure if I actually answered any of your questions but I felt like my situation could mean that my opinions are still somewhat valuable. Please let me know if you have any questions I might be able to answer.
