Sounds like a bunch of crap I don’t want, and they’re adding more crap according to this article. And if they are indeed going the way of WeChat, becoming a “super app” and partnering with Chinese and crypto companies, that makes me very nervous about privacy.
I think what you’re talking about doing is quite difficult, and there will be a lot of obstacles in your way. You’re proposing:
Circumventing the API fees, which is something that ChatGPT would definitely not like, and they will make it as difficult as possible. You’re not the only one trying to avoid paying for this very popular service.
Crawling the entire contents of each page with a bot, which is another thing that websites do NOT want you to do. There are only a handful of RSS readers that do this, and they’re paid, closed-source, proprietary apps. And even those probably don’t work on certain websites.
I’m not saying it’s impossible, just that you have chosen a very difficult path here. If you’ve never developed an app before, start with a smaller, simpler project.
Adobe is a bloated garbage company that hasn’t truly innovated in a decade, they’re just hoarding their proprietary tools and formats to squeeze as much money out of customers as possible.
Lol Jesus Christ, the surprise Shrek envelope
You can do a lot better by buying your own modem and router, but that can be expensive. The thing you’re doing right now is a good idea if you don’t want to spend a lot of money, whine at your internet provider and get them to send you a better router.
It also runs like crap, even on decent hardware. I don’t get why people love it so much…
Not really, you’re ideally paying for a server that you have complete control of. The differences are mostly just fundamental limitations.
Example: if you’re hosting off site, you will always be connecting remotely, so your access depends on a network connection. If you’re hosting at home then your stuff is still accessible when your internet goes down
Ah yes, they fired a bigot. How dare they!
I’ll see if I can find a password manager created by other small-minded bigots and let you know.
It’s getting old. I did the thing, I deleted my Reddit account and moved to Lemmy. So I kinda just want to remove Reddit from my mind for a while, I don’t see the need to let it live rent-free in my head.
Right, a KVM’s usefulness is narrow and you’re ideally using it as a sort of backup to a backup of critical systems. That means you usually only hear about them in server environments, and that means that sysadmins pay a LOT of money for enterprise-grade KVMs.
But it’s very cool that we can build a dirt cheap, half-decent KVM out of a Pi nowadays. I might have just left mine running if I there wasn’t a Pi shortage; I wanted that Pi for other stuff.
It’s good for critical systems that you might need to reboot and do things like see the BIOS (which you can’t see if you’re using a normal VNC-type remote access solution). It’s probably not necessary for most setups, but it can be very useful in certain situations. I made one myself, then literally never used it, and I’m now using that Pi in a different project.
I’d agree with others, I don’t think you need a custom “app”, you just need to upgrade your spreadsheet skills. That’s probably the easier path here.
Theoretically you could make your components variables and just point your sheets doing the calculations at those variables. So you just change value of your variable, and your sheet re-does the calculation.
The only reason I’d recommend doing something custom is if you’re building a client-facing form. But even then, a simple Google Form that points at Google Sheets would work.
I feel like NextCloud needs some relatively capable hardware to run on, and their minimum specs are bullshit.
I’ve tried it on a relatively capable PC (with an old i7) in a docker container in WSL, and it ran like shit. I’m sure it would have run better natively, but I don’t want to devote that entire machine to NextCloud.
I’ve tried it on a Raspberry Pi 4 (2GB) and it ran like shit. People keep saying it runs on low-powered hardware, but I have yet to see it.
Ah I was afraid of that, having copyrighted music will make things a little more difficult. I know Google Drive scans for that type of thing, not sure about Dropbox or Box. You could try Mega.io or another non-US service that doesn’t care what you upload.
If you want privacy and control over who sees your stuff, I’d look into storage platforms that support live video playback, rather than video platforms. And if you have a LOT of videos, you’ll likely end up paying a small amount per month.
If you’re sharing videos that don’t have any copyright concerns or issues, then something like Google Drive, Dropbox, or Box should work.
If you want something FOSS, I’d say you’re limited to self-hosting with something like NextCloud, OwnCloud, or SeaFile. A more plug-and-play (but not FOSS) self-hosting option would be a Synology NAS.
No, because you’ve posted SEVENTEEN TIMES today simping for Linus. You keep repeating “wait for both sides” even though Linus already responded directly to the GN piece and his response was GARBAGE, which is the main reason a lot of people are unsubscribing. Madison’s problem isn’t the only issue, it’s just another thing we’re throwing onto the pile.
If this was a male employee you wouldn’t be arguing this hard with the accusations.
Lol this fanboy
HomeAssistant will easily run on a Pi, it’s Nextcloud that needs more horsepower.
…and then everything you do and say gets monitored by the CCP…
