Tuxedo OS is what I settled on bc I wanted stability + KDE

Yeah you have to put tailscale on all the devices then join the same private network.

Oof. Thanks for this. Looks like Tuxedo OS might be the best of both worlds

Cool ty. Advertising is a non starter for me so it sounds like KDE neon is the way to go. I also prefer a more minimalist approach (but not at the cost of stability) so that seems like a better fit too.

Do you have any thoughts on KDE neon vs kubuntu? I’m looking to get back into daily driving Linux after a multi year break

Isn’t this just nextdoor

The config files make it easy to repeat functioning setups and guaranteed software compatibility

Someone has to seed though. I don’t know much about seedboxes but it seems like a seed box + plex combo is a solid way to go.

The home server route is way more complicated than rd+stremio for sure, but is still necessary in some contexts. I keep one just for kids content bc there’s no way to separate it out using stremio that I’ve found so far. It’s a bit of a pain to set up but with docker it’s not so bad. Stremio + rd for everything else.

Anything is better than watching fucking ads

Cool so we are going to nationalize the film industry? Force consolidation of streaming services? Treat entertainment like a utility and fix their rates with a tariff? No? Then fuck off

The whole thing is going to zero in the long run, in my view

It’s like TVs, eventually you get to a point where the incremental features don’t really add anything to the user experience, like when they tried to do the 3D TV thing folks were like no, we are happy with HD, thanks. Once in a while we have a breakthrough in tech like 4K but once all the manufacturers catch on all that is left to compete on is price and then it becomes a race to the bottom.

Phones might be different in that they can be wealth signalers, like jewelery, but I’m not sure how much longer consumers will keep biting. What are they going to do, add a 5th camera? To what end?

Already we see the upgrade cycle slowing, sales missing targets etc. I’m sure inflation isn’t helping either.

Consent comrade I don’t want to fucking be recorded

Exercising has really helped with this, and getting better sleep (the 2 go together I think)

Holy shit the net thing is shocking, I have never heard that before.

I haven’t seen my pcp in like 3 years. $200 to go in for no reason and have them tell me I’m fat? No thanks.

I should probably diy bloodwork though just to make sure I don’t have elevated white blood cell counts or sth

Edit: the wait for pcps is structural bc they don’t earn the same exorbitant salaries as specialists but still have to pay backbreaking med school costs, so there’s a shortage.

Here in the US, if you have health insurance, any time you go to the doctor it’s $200. That’s if you have a doctor to go to. So we mostly don’t go, until it’s really bad, then maybe you have to go to the hospital, which may be a few thousand bucks on the low end and bankruptcy on the high end. You have no idea what you will pay when you go, they send you a bill in the mail that arrives 2-3 weeks later.

So we pretty much avoid interacting with the medical system at all costs.

If you do want to see a doctor or specialist it’s pretty easy since they are businesses, you just call them up and make an appointment. But what do I look like over here, John D. Rockefeller?

Then we die young of easily preventable diseases.

What the fuck seriously

This is why saying your pronouns even if you’re obviously cis is cool and good bc it normalizes it

I have that device

It is my phone

Dead bio-volumes in all dosages were not detected, eliminating the possibility of antimicrobial activity elicited by DIM treatment.

From the paper. Interesting it’s NOT an antibiotic but just inhibits biofilm formation. The paper also alludes to an anti-acne application.

This is very cool. Thanks for sharing!
