I can attest to that. It’s remarkable on how few distros updating through Discover actually works reliably. I always update through the terminal because at least that works. I’ve noticed this issue on Kubuntu (apt), Debian (apt), and OpenSUSE (zypper). I think these issues are related to the PackageKit integration.

The screenshot isn’t real though

Considering your budget of 200 GBP / 250USD, I would recommend laptops meant for school. There are plenty of refurbished laptops out there with a decent battery condition and overall state for sale around €100. Most of these machines aren’t more powerful than most entry level Chromebooks and often have a Pentium or Celeron CPU, but that’s a tradeoff you’ll have to make. Another advantage is that they usually come with a touch screen and decent display, which is nice if you’re out and about.

sub 200 GBP / 250USD I guess

Last time I checked most were starting at 700+

If you want to expose it publically for others to use consider using Cloudflare for easy setup and avoiding exposing your home IP. If you want to use it for yourself you can access it with Tailscale and forward traffic to certain ports based on the subdomain using Nginx Proxy Manager.

It’s still AGPL afaik

Still is

Everything is meaningless, nothing matters. Therefore whatever you decide is important is all that matters.

You can look up optimistic nihilism if you want

Same, I have about 40 devices on my network and it works great

And obviously their option is the “best”. From the conclusion:

Talos Linux is unique. It’s the only option that includes OS management in a purpose-built distribution for running Kubernetes. There’s no compromise for scaling up or down. In terms of small-scale numbers, it “wins” in several of the examined categories, including memory usage, disk r/w, and installation size. But all of these metrics are side effects of Talos Linux’s defining characteristic: It’s simple.

At some point they l announce that paying for a Reddit premium account allows you to be unbanned and free to do whatever you want.

What other reasons or ideas can you think of, that mass banning users, (some with years of age and contributions, some of them mods.) could be the first step in a plan to capitalize.

To me it seems like it’s a consequence of both cost cutting moderators and lowering the threshold for bans to make the plaform more appealing to large companies advertising.

FYI you can get a numeric xyz domain for 1$ a year

I don’t really prefer it. I just buy gaming mice because they have more buttons and disable the RGB.

I tend to pick D, the instance that is federated with most other instances so most of the interactions are visible or C.

Windows with the most popular chrome version to avoid standing out

My server is in a closet without ventilation. You will probably be fine.

Yes, that and bbswitch. Never got it working.

A common issue with those hybrid graphics is that it simply doesn’t switch and only uses one. Are you sure you’re not just using either integrated graphics or your dedicated GPU all the time?

Not technically hardware itself but Nvidia + Intel hybrid graphics have never really worked for me

Yeah, took me some time to figure out too

This sounds so obvious but I’ve seen “news” articles on Lemmy with titles that are on par with Fox news when it comes to playing into what people want to hear.
