I don't use CasaOS, I don't know the use case, or anything else, but the only right answer to "will try to limit data collection" is Fuck you.

That looks similar to mine. Maybe a little larger, though.

While I despise the current Spanish government for being interested only in being in power (progressive here. They just lack a moral compass), if this comes to fruition it will be hard for conservatives to roll back. It would expose how tight a leash the oligarchs have on them.

For the love of God, or whatever, people!

STOP recommending that people use food preparation things to heat up material you have no clue about how safe they are. It's likely you are recommending people to poison themselves!!

Great advice! Use two food preparation appliances to heat a material you have no clue about what it offgases in addition to water.

Enjoy your food.

I do something similar. 1st- Never use something that will be used for food again. There are 15€ used microwaves listed in my local secondhand app, but I live in a small apartment, and I don't have the spare space.

2nd. - I don't do this stuff in the kitchen.

I have a small induction plate, which can actually be set to temperature or power level, and wich is surprisingly accurate! I spent a morning doing testing, and the damn thing would be within 5°C everytime.

I use an enameled pan, which has been retired from food use, and do this in the balcony. I shake it around every so often, with the temp set at 110°C.

It really irks me how a bunch of Youtubers ignore basic safety measures, like using your oven, microwave etc to dry silica, filament, anneal parts etc. We normally have no clue as to the modifiers, additives, etc, or even the actual effects of fumes of the base plastics (maybe there is research, but I haven't seen anybody looking for it)

I'm working on a cheapo enclosure, and already have designed and printed a cheap and cheerful filter, to use EVERY time I print, no matter what the filament. If I don't have hard data about the toxicity of a material heated in my breathing space, I'm going to treat it as toxic.

Safe by default.

Meanwhile, Spain is constantly expanding the high speed network, second in the world after china, with excellent punctuality, and not fixating on speed records.

Orcas almost never attack humans, as to be essentially anecdotal, and most of the times attributed to error. The attacks on boats have often ended in the crews bailing out and ignored by the orcas, who were clearly attacking the boats, not the humans.

Many phones need a charging port clean-up every so often

I've been using tablets since the first generation (Galaxy tab), and I must say that it kind of veered to that side after a while, since getting a convertible laptop. A few years back I got a Huawei tablet with a pen and keyboard, that had impressive battery, and it took the place of my convertible. While I'm a Linux-Android-occassional Windows guy, I now use an ipad (As much as I hate to admit, in the tablet space they are vastly superior), with keyboard and pen, for most of my away needs, and for general around the house stuff. I do a lot of graphic design and photo stuff, and thanks to Affinity's suite, I can actually do real work on the thing.

If the sock seams bother you ,you either wear your socks or shoes, or both too tight

 

I've been using rustdesk for while, and it works very well for me. The news of it being somewhat opaque, and developed from China, makes me a bit nervous.

Is there a FOSS equivalent that won't make me jump through hoops, and be easily installed by someone else remotely?

I would like to be able to have it run at startup in Linux and windows, have a fairly complete feature set, like file transfer, copy paste, etc.

Also it'd be great if it could be easily installed by someone else remotely. I do SMB support, usually onsite, which is why it's not cost effective to pay for a Teamviewer or Anydesk license.

I'm taking a look through flathub, but recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

What do you consider to be the "Goldilocks" distro? the one that balances ease of install and use, up-to-date, stability, speed, etc... You get the idea.

I'm not a newb, these last few years I've lived in the Debian and derivatives side of things, but I've used RH, Slackware, Puppy :), and older stuff, like mandrake/mandriva and others. Never tried Suse or Arch, and while Nix looks appealing, I need something to put in production rapidly. I have tried Kinoite in a VM, but I couldn't install something (which I can't remember), and that turned me off.

Oh I'm on Mint right now, because lazy, but it's acting up with a couple of VMs, which I need, I really don't have the time or desire to maybe spend two days troubleshooting, and I'm a bit fed up with out of date pkgs.

 

Does anybody have the impression that Stremio may be a honeypot of some sort?

Thay are allegedly a legal service where some nefarious actors provide torrenting plugins etc. I tried to find out how they were financed, and found northing but a site purportedly selling "Web3" advertising, and filled with technobabble nonsense. No address, no way to purchase their services no GDPR notice or anything...

All I can find regarding their safety are "It's legit, nothing has happened to me so far" comments in reddit and other boards.

They have your email, they host the service, they can track all you do...

Seems kind of fishy.

Ive tried it, ironically, to watch stuff that I pay for, I have Netflix, prime video, Disney... But Stremio gives me much higher resolutions.

Even though I live in a country where sailing the high seas is not persecuted, as long as you are the end-user and you derive no profit, I'm going to delete my account (made with an email address I have for bullshit stuff ), make a new one with a truly disposable email and get a VPN.

 

I'm having the hardest tine setting up a shared folder between a Linux host and Win11guest. I want to get rid of dual boot, but there are a few programs that I use which are Win only. I have set up a VB VM, but I want a fine tuned KVM VM. On VB sharing is trivial, but I can't get it to work in KVM. I have the host sharing the folder with Samba, and can see it from another Linux VM, but not from windows. Any clues?

 

I have looked everywhere (so it's probably in front of my face). Where are saved posts? Are they in my instance, in lemmy? How can I find them?
