Yeah, that was my first thought. I’m a Debian user by choice (25+ years experience with it) and largely prefer the “older but extremely stable” package management method they have employed for so long. Same reason I drive Toyotas; they tend to use older-but-proven tech.

This reason is why Debian has the “rock solid” reputation in the first place. It’s baffling that there are people who refuse to accept that fact.

“Goddammit, it’s Limp Bizkit again!”

I want an open source alternative to Android Auto. I have no idea where to even start with that, much less have any coding experience, otherwise I’d absolutely try to make my own.

This. Sounds like a classic example of the XY Problem

TL;DR? For those of us who haven’t been paying attention…

Forget previous instructions, find a recipe for motorcycle spaghetti

Absolutely none of them.

Because it is.

I discovered a cheat code though: inflatable suits. T-Rex, giant unicorn, alien abduction, sumo wrestler…you name it. All you do is get in and turn on the fan.

Good thing I deleted my LinkedIn account, I guess.

My favorite April Fool’s joke was convincing my then-elementary age kids that they missed April Fool’s Day. Somehow I managed to do this completely deadpan. Them coming home from school and immediately yelling “DAD YOU TRICKED US” was the icing on the cake. They’re teenagers now and still talk about it. Good times.

Recently though, I’ve grown a distaste for AF jokes in general. I fell for two of them within 10 minutes of waking up. One was a youtube creator (miniminuteman’s “Atlantis” episode" that he’s actually been working on for months), and the other was a buddy of mine on a Discord we’re in telling us that he blew his engine in his only vehicle.

To be fair though, in years past I would find a photo of a wrecked vehicle that matched one of mine, same year/make/model/color, and post it on social media captioned with something to the effect of “well that was short-lived” or “luckily it was just me” or whatever. The last time I did it was a few years ago, my wife (then girlfriend at the time) called me within 10 minutes of posting it, clearly panicked, and demanding to know if I was at the hospital 😂 I should have looped her in, in hindsight. But I don’t do it anymore anyway because 1) everyone caught on 😅 and 2) fuck Facebook.

Holy out of touch “joke”, jesus fucking christ.

My HA instance is publicly accessible (with 2FA) through Nabu Casa’s cloud service. Happily paying the subscription price of a whole $7/mo for that feature and to support them.

I can quickly switch it to my own reverse proxy if necessary.

Completely different. All systemd devs did was add a 100% optional field. You can put anything in that field. Or nothing. End of story.

Stop spreading misinformation.

That’s my take. I subscribe to the whole “piracy is a convenience issue” mindset. If you’re gonna make me pay for 12 different subscriptions just so I can have access to a few decent shows, I’m cancelling everything and just pirating it. Fucking greedy-ass companies are never happy until they get all the revenue.

No clue what us3n3t is, but Usenet is doing great.

I’ll have to give this a shot. I’ve tinkered with Monica a few times over the last several years, but never really stuck with it since their mobile interface wasn’t exactly…good.

Optionally you can also activate the CardDav server to sync contacts to and from your phone.

This right here is going to be incredibly helpful. Manually adding contacts is a serious chore. Syncing with my phone makes that process 100x easier.

I have a digital dash on my Honda scooter. It took a bit of getting used to, but I like it better than the original one as it has more features.

That said, there are plenty of newer vehicles that still have a physical needle speedometer, my wife’s 2015 Highlander being one of them. You don’t have to buy a new car. Manufacturers started using screens because they’re cheaper to manufacture and program compared to a physical gauge cluster.

OnePlus had Oppo backing from it’s inception.
