Imagine if you could go on the Nintendo store and buy a game you couldn’t even run, or had to check a third party website to see if it ran acceptably and let you use all the buttons.

I searched it and found there were some cases of people being asked to login when they used the clock app but it appears to have been a bug.

I think people with 5mil could probably get in a lot cheaper.

While the idea sounds good I don’t think anyone should be setting a precedent to say it’s okay for elected governments to ban opposition parties from running based on their political views. Ultimately the people should hold the power.

I hope they’re going to keep the late 90s theme from Thunderbird. Maybe a dancing baby gif.

What’s the point in doing this and complaining that no one outside of American buys American cars?

Sorry, I love Linux and wish everybody was on it but no way is Windows “just as hard”. Maybe if you want to look behind the curtain and start tinkering Linux is easier but on the face of it I’d say Linux is somewhere around early Windows XP when it comes to usability for a normal person.

Didn’t realise Bahco were American.

US vehicle manufacturers will just put up their prices by 24%.

I honestly am starting to think that compulsory service is a good thing, I wish I’d had to do it. I’ve known lots of people who are from countries that have to do it and I expected them to hate it but they seemed fine with it. And they all had much better self-discipline than the normal person.

We learnt about it at school, but England has a lot of history to learn and other than “it’s bad” it doesn’t exactly have a whole lot of relevance as far as applications go. The modern issues with racism are a bit more nuanced than “people who look different are animals”.

I’ve never heard of that too one. Where’s it from?

 

I've been trying to create my own splash screen but there's not exactly a lot of documentation out there. I've created an SVG for it but it's not working properly. Is there limited functionality? I suspect it might be because my install is pretty fudged and I'm missing some package but before i go reinstalling my OS I thought I'd check.

 

I know this probably comes up a lot and I’ve done some reading but it’s a little overwhelming so I thought I’d just post to help me get my thoughts together. I want to set up HA primarily to start using it with Frigate and give me remote access to my cameras but I might as well double down and get everything on this. I like the idea of clever houses and I’m glad there’s a good option for doing it locally with decent FOSS solution.

So in my network I have a sort of DMZ network. This network has all those dodgy IoT devices on it and it’s basically an untrusted network with internet access. I then have my normal network with everything else on it, like my laptop, phones, home server, etc. I’m planning on installing HA in a Podman container (Docker) on my server but I’d like to have some remote access so I can check out my cameras, 3D printer, and maybe a few other things, I’d also like to be able to receive notifications. However I still want to be able to run it normally without too many complications so I’d like it internal to my trusted network.

I’m thinking about the possibility of running two containers, one on my trusted network and one on my DMZ. I could sync them up or give them access to the same storage areas maybe. Is this possible? ChatGPT suggested it so I’m not sure if it’s worth pursuing. If not what are my other options? I basically want all the positives of having it on the internet with none of the negatives, how hard can that be?

 

Hi. Sorry if this is a really generic question but I’m looking to upgrade my server and wondering if there’s some standout solution. I’m currently running an old Dell Poweredge T20 which has been fine but I’m running into issues with driver support because it’s all considered legacy now being nearly 10 years old. I wouldn’t mind upgrading the mobo, CPU and RAM but I really don’t need it to be too powerful. I’m just running Plex, Frigate, Home Assistant, and a few other small things. I need GPU for Frigate and I can’t get the onboard HD4600 on mine to work with Debian. I have a TPU for the AI stuff but I need support for videos rendering.

Are there any cheap mATX combos that are good and cheap, something like £100 and low power?
