Take family farms in total. A 3000ac farm run by 2 brothers is still a family farm that the kids are inheriting. Nobody here has a clue how farms in us and Canada work.

That’s hilarious.

It wasn’t even a business, it was just a huge purchase of tshirts for marketing, apparently, right at the beginning of their startup. Like, I have no idea why you would think distributing t-shirts would build your search engine’s business, let alone doing it when you’re trying to get your technology sorted out and running.

“Hey, neat shirt, what’s Kagi?”

“Why, it’s a search engine you pay for that searches other search engines and aggregates the results for you!”

“For realz, where has this been all my life?!? Sign me up, my brother!”

And I’ve found SearxNG to provide fantastic results, though I’m using it self-hosted so maybe that’s the difference? I started using it as a test about a month ago, and I’ve converted by default search engine on my machines to it because it’s delivered excellent, un-cluttered results for anything I’ve looked for on technical and non-technical searches.

You aren’t reading that correctly.

most farms are owned by massive corporations these days.

Utter nonsense.

I’ve never had much trouble fixing screens and batteries on my Pixel, Nexus and Samsung phone. Take your time, watch the vidjas, use a heat gun and IPA (both types), all fine. The phone’s fucked, you might as well spend $50 if there’s a chance you’ll get another year or two out of it.

Ifixit has been a great resource, good on them for their sponsorship of R2R.

Burn Snap out of there and I’m in.

Edit: looks like they’re not putting much towards snaps, it’s mostly Flatpak and systemd-sysext. I’m good with that.

Fuck me harder, Daddy Microsoft.

Good review, it reminds me of a Project Farm video. That guy reviews things very much from a practical use standpoint.

Consider setting up a monthly or annual automatic donation. They do great work and need your support.

Plasma.

When I try Gnome, within a couple minutes I encounter the Save dialog that defaults the cursor to the Search field instead of the Filename field, and the top of my head goes spinning across the room, and I uninstall it.

My brother in Christ, Oracle isn’t worth free.

They couldn’t even successfully delete my account or stop billing me after they couldn’t fix the simplest problem because they could never associate my support ID with my tenant account. I had to put a block on my credit card at the advice of a oracle support rep to stop getting charged.

Utter dogshit, but I don’t know what I expected, doing any sort of business with Larry Ellison.

I’d suggest using ZFS for the OS and the VM storage. If you have multiple nodes, you can set up replication easily for easy migration or recovery if your main node goes down. If you set up plex on a NAS, you would have to set up the NAS shares on the other node(s) in case you end up bringing the VM up on another node.

What I’ve done is have a very large ZFS striped-mirror that contains all my VMs and their attached drives, as you can specify and overprovision virtual drives on the same zpool. Then these VMs replicate to the other nodes every hour. I can also live migrate the VMs very quickly since they’re replicated constantly so if I need to upgrade a node, I batch migrate everyone over to the other nodes, do my upgrades and migrate everyone back and upgrade the other nodes, then rebalance them where I like them. I get that you’re on an SFF, so if you can get 2 drives in it and mirror them, you’re probably fine.

And then all that is backed up via Proxmox Backup Server on a shitty old i3 with a local attached SATA and other USB drives I periodically change out and take offsite for replication to another offline proxmox server.

You can also pass through a GPU for hardware encoding to your Plex/jellyfin VM.

I was on there for 15 and modded/started a pile of communities. I go back now for research and it’s all bots and deleted comments. Maybe the default subs are full of real people but I doubt it. The very, very niche subs still seem to have people in them, but are nowhere as active as they used to be.

I’m sure Reddit is gaming the investors. You can’t trust lying Pigboy farther than you can kick him.

You forgot -XNG

This might be what you’re looking for: Zola

Single binary that lets you keep your markdown/config in git and just build it from the git clone folder you’re in at the time.

I know some people that have moved off of Hugo to this, and Alex from the Selfhosted podcast recently talked about it on their show.

I think we’re getting down to the bottom of the tech idea barrel…

In the end, it makes it much more expensive for supplies, reducing the amount they can spend on other fuckery. Yah, they’ll still get them, but when inflation is rampant and you have highly reduced foreign trade reducing available foreign reserves, it makes its mark. Look at Cuba.

If you’re on Mint still, that’s X11 fucking you over. AFAIK, Mint hasn’t moved to Wayland, though you might be able to install an experimental session, but I wouldn’t trust it like a distro that’s all-in on Wayland.

I used to contend with monitors jumping around like a jack russell terrier with X11, never keeping settings, dropping out due to ACPI. Wayland has fixed pretty much everything I had going wrong with that stuff.

Boot a live USB of some distros that default to Wayland like Fedora, and see how it reacts to screensaving, then make some choices from there.
