kagi’s map feature seems to have a bit more detail than the usual osm wrappers but it is a paid service and i still haven’t figured out how to get directions to work (that last part is on me, though).

I went the pixel and graphene route and I’m pretty happy with it. if Google locking out drivers means there won’t be graphene for the next line of pixels, I’ll probably just see what phones calyx or lineage support and roll with something from there.

I’ve been fortunate to not have any issues with banking services. the only big thing I lack is maps. there’s not a one to one replacement for Google maps, so I just use a dedicated GPS in my vehicle. (before folks start typing at me, yes I’m aware of organic maps and etc but they absolutely lack a lot of data, especially in my semi-rural area)

docker?! i hardly knew her!

i used netbird heavily at my last job and i use it for a few things at home. it works pretty well.

they’re not top of the charts but i enjoy gradius v, auto modellista, xiii, and dynasty warriors 4.

more popular games might be shadow of the colossus, tony hawk pro skater 3, metal gear solid 2, gta, etc. i’m not real into those except the first one but they got good ratings.

is that because asymmetry is the norm due to these ISPs’ practices or because people just don’t upload things often as a common behavior?

i recall a lot of my peers hosting mail and web servers among other things when broadband started to become more common, before they started blocking common ports as “security” and “antivirus” measures designed to extract more money from you.

nope.

there are dozens of us!

these “ai bad” posts are getting so tiring. they just feel like upvote farms these days.

grumpy graybeard/neckbeard here but bazzite and bluefin feel like what I wanted out of Linux 25-30 years ago and I’m so glad we’ve reached this point.

I’ve tried pretty hard to make the switch to grayjay but there’s always some snag for me. Sometimes grayjay related, other times service related. I hope the project continues to grow. for the moment I’ll be sticking with newpipe and freetube.

the other futo projects are pretty neat, too. the android keyboard works really well.

I’m on a fire emblem warriors (3ds) kick.

i just moved almost all of my containers (except for my omada controller) to my VM running fedora and podman off my VM running ubuntu and docker. why? i was in a product sales call (being sold to) and didn’t have any actual work tasks to do during that time. Now there’s an additional VM on the network.

Trying to decide if I’ll move omada as well or just shift everything back. I shouldn’t have fiddled with the stack while I was bored. A video game or something would’ve been a better idea.

this would make sense if the game developers were being paid properly to begin with, rather than the leeches that are the c-suite taking more than they should

as a teenager somewhere between 1996 and 1998.

just send it.

i’m using zed currently but waiting on the enshittification. i just expect most projects to head that direction these days.

redhat 4.1 or maybe 5.2 back around 1996-1998 (plus a freebsd release around the same time). I got a pile of probably 15 discs from walnut creek and they were the only two I could get running. I didn’t have internet access at the time.

why not both? small donations to the IA pile up. also the IA has several petabytes of data so it would be difficult to mirror that completely but sharing parts you’re interested in (even on the small scale) can be immensely useful.

nothing. I am a bazzite and bluefin convert. it feels like a dream after 20+ years of futzing about with Linux.
