I’m just skimming this thread, but paragraph 2 is basically fact. I’m on my second synology box, the UI is simple and I want reliability, I don’t want removed to break because of a git push on some bullremoved tool. But recently I snatched a Lenovo server and threw proxmox and Debian on it, and also got a vps.

The synology is actually pretty capable, especially if it can do docker, and if you are willing to venture into (as a beginner) copy/pasting commands from the internet into the task scheduler as a half-assed way to get at the terminal, it can do literally everything that I want. But I’m a geek, why should I keep a stable, reliable system as my only machine? :p

My synology does files, some docker stuff. Lenovo does a couple docker stuff, BOINC since it’s just idling most of the time, and docker for game and related hosting on my vps. Hell, this entire thing could be ‘just add a network folder, and install docker and dockge/portainer’.

Though (paragraph 3) I tried and didn’t like TrueNAS. Maybe it’s because the synology does it already, I was just exploring, but it has that ‘foss feel’ where you have no idea what you are doing, even when you know what all the pieces do, and it just kinda is like ‘here you go, figure it out’ and leaves. I remember the UI being equally… ‘designed by a programmer’ let’s say. It might be powerful but oof, slick it ain’t.

A speed comparison between https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bcachefs, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Btrfs, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F2FS, and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFS on Linux. These are all file systems, like windows ntfs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS or the apple journalling file system https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_File_System.

While usually unimportant for most use-cases, and with each offering differing features and capabilities, in data-heavy systems speed can be an important factor in determining whether to use one file system over another.

It’s also ‘my car can beat your car in a drag race’ for geeks, because again it usually doesn’t matter and features are far more important than speed for the typical user.

^__^ yay! I’m glad to hear it. I’ve been using it for… 4 years, I believe, and it’s just been fantastic for me, so I like to spread the word whenever it comes up.

FairEmail is removeding awesome. If it were a sentient being or object, I’d pound it so hard. With consent, of course. Does everything I want and then some: fast, strips everything down to text, lets me appear to send from any address on my domains, blocks trackers, is constantly (almost literally) updated and improved, custom notification handling per folder, custom colors for messages/folders…

I’d pay for it again to get a desktop version, no hesitation about it. TB is /fine/ but… that one meme with the guy looking back at the other girl

“BUT IT’S NOT POPULAR! ALL THE DOWNLOADS ARE FROM JANUARY 1ST 2005 AND NOBODY EVER DOWNLOADED IT EVER AGAIN! IT’S ALL A CONSPIRACY BY BIG TRAFFIC CONE! I DON’T WANT FACTS LALALALALA” --this guy

Big Traffic Cone is coming for you. It cautions us all. That’s why it’s orange with reflective stripes. You should have heeded it’s warning. Be afraid, very afraid.

Damn this dude loves to delete themselves I guess

“vlc is updating their UI again! I liked the one we have now, this just looks stupid. I don’t think I’ll like the changes.”

Tell them you’re trying something new for the new year: that your body faces those you talk to. If they start up a conversation while at the urinal, just rotate your body to face them. Because it’s important to focus your full attention when conversing. They’ll stop after the first time.

Does Dell… not offer a way to update the bios via flash drive or network? The removed? Every board I’ve ever owned had the option to at least flash from USB.

I recommended my father get one after his current laptop’s speakers blew out. He didn’t want to wait for Q4, so we went with my 2nd recommendation, a ThinkPad.

The first two were defective (the whole model line is - overheating to scalding temps, not going to sleep when the lid is closed, not sleeping/infinite loop when manually told to sleep or by the OS idle time), the third (different model) arrived without a removeding w11pro product key. Are you actually removeding removedting me. Their solution for that was either a new machine (custom machine, almost 4 weeks lead time) or a new mobo. I figured they would put the key in the board, and we didn’t want another 4 week wait, so I went with the board swap. Guess who didn’t enter a key into the bios? The tech didn’t have one, was just told to swap boards.

We are expecting a framework in Q1 now.

Oh no, I see the mistake, just let me

there we go

How old are you? Whiney old-timers removeding suck. And they love to voice their removed opinions at full volume. You all would be better off doing what you want vs listening to this cranky old removed bitch about how life doesn’t allow fun.

…see how you sound? Everyone actually hates people who say braindead removed akin to ‘my way is the only right way, any other way is stupid’. Nobody asked for your removedty opinion piece, get the removed off the stage.

Dude is trying to enjoy technology, and you want to removed all over it. What an awful way to go about life.

I just tried it, technically the app works but disallows contactless payments, which is like 97% of the reason for the app, so…

Kinda answered your own question there

Looking into that, thanks =)
