as I get older I use search engines less and less since I alredy know the website I want to use and just tipe in URL directly, but when I do need to search some term I tend to use qwant since it is european and private. It tends to be less cencored in my expirience.
Found a Powerbook 180 from ~1995 in mint condition! I mean, battery is cooked, but other than that it is original and without problems!
Osijek? like in Croatia?! I never knew there was something so interesting and ambitious there.
Really hope other companies here in Croatia can look up on them instes of just complaining about “it is not viable” because “china makes it cheaper”. This is the proof that consumers can still recognize and prioritize quality product (I hope those are good, I’m not at all in FPV scene).
Lite XL my beloved
I never thought game subscription would take of. The entire concept is stupid to me. Pay per month to *acces selected games but not own them? Take into accoumt 90% of people will play at most 25% of the catalogue. Let’s do some math if PS Plus Essentials, where you get 2-4 random titles per month is taken, which costs 9€ per month which if you play down to 25% of the catalogue goes up to 36€ per month (that is you basicly pay 36€ to play that single game which was chosen at random and you still don’t own). For that ammount of money I can buy a REAL game I OWN or 5 good games on Steam Sale or GOG.
Still I guess if it sounds good people will smoke it.
To be clear these statistics are purly “Trust me bro” but I doubt someone will play Core Keeper, Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed and NFS: Unbound all in one month enough that it makes sense, and if you can more power to you, but I know those are not most people. Most people play Minecraft or Elder Scrolls or COD or GT etc.
Still feel free to express yours opinion.
“We Can Dream” by Creo (link goes to Tidal)
I can listen to just this song for hours and it doesn’t get boring.
Edit: here is YT link if you prefer it.
Not buying untill they open their fuvking bootloader!!
There are some simulation and math scenarios where it can speed things up while using fraction of power a GPU would, but for general use it is not that usefull.
Since there are a lot of OptiPlexses with different specs I will give you a general advice for making home servers.
Use newest desktop you have and/or the one that took the least beating since you will need all the perfotmance and uptime you can get.
If you opt for used storage (like some hard drives you have), make them into RAID with redundancy (at lrast one possible drive failiure, preferably two if you can).
Also look for power efficiency, so if you have a laptop (and can add at least 2 drives in it for RAID) or a recent i3 or i5 dekstop (or even i7 if undervolted) that would be your best bet.
Also look for decent network interface card. Try to avoid 10/100mbit and look for 1gbit, though I doubt that old PCs can even push 1gbit. Also make sure that the LAN plays nice with linux.
For the OS, use something stable like debian, or if you want to thinker Alpine is fun and also really stable. Also Ubuntu Server is a solid choice.
When deploying services like a file server if you just want something that works (or at least should be easier than other options) YunoHost or CasaOS are your friends, but you can learn docker (or run without encapsulation) and nginx (or other reverse proxy I don’t care).
For a file server everyone has their preference, but I use SeaFile since it is crossflatform and simple with good integration.
As I said, for any questions about selfhosting just hit c/selfhosted and ask away.
How old are we talking?
In the end PCs are useful only if you can run useful sodtware on them, but besides nostalgia there ain’t much use I see in them.
So EU wants websites to “not share sensitive user data with any 3rd party services” or the platform is liable…
Sure bro… tell that to AI scrapers 🥱
Hot Take:
every high school should have an entry test >!(idk what it is called in english but it is a test to see how strong is your knowleage)!< because middle school is so unserious and can vary so much depending where you are from.
I was on a lower side of the entry for my high school but am somehow better than people who got almost full points! It is so unfair and doesn’t AT ALL take into account actual knowlage and take seats from people who are actually interested AND can keep up with the program.
If most of the class can’t keep up you end up with few talented students who are way ahead of the class, but must wait for the others because underpaid teachers can’t (or wont) do personilized classes to everyone so they just take the slowest student and set theirs standards to that.
Yes this is more like a rant, SUPER biased and I don’t still think the tests are a solution since they just fix the symtoms of the cause, but I stand by that some people should not be able to take schools they are taking no matter how many students say they got there “fair and square”.
I have few things to say.
also the setup is nice ig
Corruption in balkans? Never heard of it.
Since people allready recommended Thinkpads and Elitebooks I can only add up on that.
If you don’t mind thinkering a bit you can buy old cromebook for really cheap. You can install linux on them and they usually have pretty nice screen, even if specs could be lacking (but for linux and web browsing it would be fine)
1000€ for a 3d printer and VR headset.
In my honest opinion Sony Xperia (1 or 5) lineup is best Android has to offer, especially with LineageOS.
Nothing is good if you like the design, but it is expiriencing enshitification at a rapid pace.
Samsung is a no go (at least flagships) for their size, AI bullshit and forcing Samsung garbage on you (Samsung account, Samsung appstore, Samsung pay, etc.) .
Motorola is ok imo, just not much support from Lenovo.
Pixel is huge, underpowered and google is ruining it day by day.
Ther’s a Python version… not sure why you would want that
Just guessing but maybe for different architecures like RiscV and PPC? It might still be possible to compile from source, but if you have python why not just take a shortcut
I would take crappy photoshop meme over this every day of the week. #StopTheSlop
