I use bsd containers for everything but home assistant on my home server and love them! The downside for most people at the moment is having to set them up manually. I can export the thin jail and move the archive across computers as backups and the fine tuned control is beautiful. FreeBSD offers a way to check for security vulnerabilities in installed packages (pkg audit -F) that I run as a cron job and email myself daily to check for needed updates.

Problem is most people want a single docker install and it’s all set up, not something that needs manual configuration. Bastille has templates that can do this for bsd jails but there’s not a lot of services with templates.

Edit: also frustrating is a lot of new apps for home servers only offer a docker install so installing from source becomes a huge pita and makes bsd jails harder to use (looking at you gramps-web specifically).

There really isn’t anything I couldn’t replace my phone with a tablet that stays in the house for, and it has been a growing thought to switch back to a dumb phone.

I’d expect similar at least. When one doesn’t keep up to date on new information and lets their brain coast it atrophies like any other muscle would from disuse.

That will definitely end speculation about corruption and restore Argentina’s morale!

*as long as we don’t count the shit load of electricity spent training the model.

They sell a dock that supports up to 4K for tvs, I’d guess for that. It’s capable of doing that fairly well on less intensive games.

Wonder how much of a bonus the sick fuck who pitched that got for the idea?

It would be worth a try since this seems to be mostly performance related glitches

Offhand anecdotes here as I only have Ubuntu on a 2012 MacBook.

That said the error post update is likely just a service that didn’t restart properly. Many of these are not necessarily critical, does it say what program crashed? A reboot would guarantee a fix here.

Unfortunately the issues with apps might be the snap packaging, this does slow apps down a bit which could cause pretty much all the remaining issues. I haven’t personally used it but might look up flatpak as a replacement and see if that helps. If others don’t explain how to do this I will try to come edit this later with an explainer or link or something to help.

We still had treasuries and bonds to help finance that stuff even when we had a more progressive tax structure

For as much hate as it gets Ubuntu (or kubuntu for the kde version) will feel very familiar in usage and will have a newer kernel. It’s my default it just needs to work distro if regular Debian isn’t an issue due to drivers or something similar.

I don’t know man this level of ingenuity really makes me want to buy a new HP printer! /s

I use calibre for my kindle, but kavita for web reading on any of my devices.

The calibre web server kept claiming its downloads to my device were corrupted and would just never open books. Kavita just sends the books page as a web page which gets rid of that particular issue

Maybe if they made cars people wanted at affordable prices this wouldn’t be an issue?

The article keeps talking about China gaining ground but if these companies had gotten a jump on affordable EVs years ago instead of fighting emissions targets this wouldn’t have been an issue in the first place.

Thanks for the heads up!

Assuming the drive writes normally a simple command like

dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/sdX

Where sdX is the location of the drive should do the trick. Depending on drive time this may take a bit.

This was a few drives ago but there was a point in time when most places were giving me digital copies of tax documents which I could upload to tax prep software but things like TurboTax didn’t have an auto import. So you’d need to download them then re-upload them to the correct service. Now they do it automatically so the only thing that would match that now now is receipts for expenses/donations and what not that I need to keep track of for manual entry.

I started encrypting once I moved to having a decent number of solid state drives as the tech can theoretically leave blocks unerased once they go bad. Before that my primary risk factor was at end of life recycling which I usually did early so I wasn’t overly concerned about tax documents/passwords etc being left as I’d use dd to write over the platters prior to recycling.
