  • This. It's all incremental to me. No I can't be 100% free of big tech and surveillance, etc etc - but how much of my data has Google not gotten since I started paying for private email 5 years ago or so?

    (Not much cause everyone else refuses to leave Gmail behind 😂 but all I can do is keep moving myself in that direction.)

  • I've had an amazing time with GrapheneOS on pixel 8 pro. I had to flash back to stock and gOS works better cause stock is so all in on ai everything 🙄

    I'm going to switch back to gOS, just been putting it off lol

  • GrapheneOS

  • It's pretty dummy friendly. Accept that some things may not work or will work differently (Most notably tap to pay is a no go AFAIK,) and be willing to learn if something comes up would probably be how I describe it. The only problem that might turn up that an app that you need doesn't pass gOS' security checks, but there's an app level setting to lessen security restrictions if it's something you NEED.

    Otherwise, meh? Flashing back to stock is super easy via a google web tool if you don't like it. (I had to for a trip, Ticketmaster was being wonky and all my shows were ticketmaster haha. I've never had a problem before with the Ticketmaster app so IDK if it's an ongoing thing or not)

    So over liberals JFC

    If these didnt upload correctly let me know I'll delete the post. Conversation I just had in a local discord where dude didn't even read my comment and attacked me for not being onboard with Harris and fed me a fearmonger. So over fucking dem voters man.

    I just dont have any leftists in my life to gripe with, sorry. 🤣

    EDIT: Ive always gotten on well with this dude and we agree on a lot, which really made it worse that he didnt bother reading what I wrote. I just deleted my comments and left the server (its just a small side server for our area anyway.)

    Sitting in cars as a pasttime

    Everyone I know, even more "progressive" people, treat me like a damn alien for not prioritizing getting a new car since mine died over covid.

    Why does nobody blink an eye at this habit people have of just..... Sitting in their car in the driveway? Its not on, there's no music, they aren't leaving - they're just sitting there for an hour or more. I see it fairly often, but if I mention it being odd people look at me like I'm dumb. Are we really THAT car centric now that it's this normalized to be like "fuck my living room, fuck my TV, fuck my couch, I just wanna sit in my car all day?"

    Self Hosted - Self-hosting your services. @lemmy.ml

    What should I look for in a mini PC to upgrade

    Howdy All! I've been self hosting some services on a pi 4 for a year or two now and have been fiddling with new services lately. I realized I'm pushing 60% or so of RAM and maxing out the SWAP file while fiddling with things. I currently just set up a nightly reboot as a temporary solution but I'm thinking about picking up a mini PC of some sort to replace it with, and wanted to get input from the community (Read: people smarter than me haha.)

    I'm happy to hear any preferences anyone would care to share on hardware. I know obviously more RAM is key, as far as I'm aware CPU isn't super important and any recent-ish box will probably have a fine enough processor in it, and of course I'll probably end up getting a bigger external drive to hook up to it but that's not a big deal.

    Also, I'm currently running docker/portainer on an OMV core, just how I learned/got into self hosting. Should I take the opportunity to learn Kubernetes or some other big boy system? I've not done alot of readi
