speak for yourself

I own a tv that is 1080p, but not a smart tv. Not because I'm worried about being spied on, but because I don't want something with software that I might not be able to update and might stop working. I do own a roku I connect to it, but I also use a raspberry pi and can stream from my home server.

cool, just watched the movie "Pompeii" last night and then my wife and I were looking up photos from there. (I also made a homemade pizza yesterday)

That one is good for comforting those left behind. As for myself, I've found comfort in thinking about things like Mark Twain: https://harpers.org/2008/03/no-terrors-for-me/

for margarita (and some other drinks) the glass rim is covered with salt. So, you could evaporate the tears and put the residue on the rim in place of salt.

search for tkemali sauce recipes. It's a Georgian plum sauce that is great with meats and vegetables. I've used it on pork, chicken, fried potatoes. In Georgia, it is about as common as ketchup is in the USA. There is red tkemali made from ripe plums and green made from unripened. Green is my favorite, but both are really good. I think the plums used in Georgia are a wild plum, but I made some last month with red plums I bought at Kroger. You might have to visit an international market to get some of the spices.

edit: recipe that i used, minus a couple spices i didn't find in time, but it still turned out good.

I am a substitute teacher in southern Illinois. At the schools where I've worked, the students get chromebooks at the beginning of the school year and use these for much of their coursework and exams. Some students had notebooks, but I never saw any carrying textbooks.

The teachers had digital whiteboards and also there were projectors in every class where the teacher could project from their computer.

I'm new to NixOS, just installed it a few days ago, so I can't say much about it's pros and cons, but the installer was easy and I installed and booted into the new system very quickly. I think it might have been udpated in the past year, because I am watching a tutorial video from a year ago and he installs it via command line from the live iso.

edit: it also gave me a default configuration.nix which I've just been adding to (to get nginx with letsencrypt running, plus extra packages I wanted installed)

Instagram already had an app named Threads. Can they not think of a new name?

I think it's a gerbil

soylent green is people!

maybe about 4-5 years on Void on my laptop so far.

RWF :(

if this guy spent a week on lemmy and couldn't figure out communities, then I think android authority aren't paying their brightest to write opinion articles.

I agree, but I've decided to play with it in qemu for a while. I've also been looking at Chimera and have that in a vm too. Currently I use Void, btw

could you do it with peertube? I never used twitch, so not sure what all features you want or need, but I'm pretty sure peertube has live streaming now

this is neat: https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/index.html#module-services-lemmy

Is it a big learning curve? Is this the emacs equivalent of OS configuration/installation?

edit: another question - Could I play around with it by installing in qemu and if I like that, take my configuration.nix from qemu and install it as my main OS?

and if you look close, you can see the harness they use for the dog to pull the wagon they're in.

I'm thinking about getting a Oneplus 6, so I've been curious how it's working for people. I'd get another pinephone, but for now I'd rather wait and see if they release another phone. The Pro is already over a year and half old and I'd like to see if they release something new. Also, I don't have a lot of money to spend, so maybe a used Oneplus is best for now.

I finally got waydroid to run on my pinephone about a month ago and after playing with it for an hour or so I realized I don't really need it for anything and it's a waste of resources/space. So I uninstalled it. Are you using phosh, sxmo or what? I've been playing with gnome shell on pinephone and pinetab recently, but I really like sxmo.

I guess it depends on how you rank the importance of each of those. For me, I can get an SMS from my bank with a 2FA code to login (I know, less secure), so I don't need a specific app and can use the website. Hotspot isn't very important for me, but it does work(when my modem worked.) I'd also move bluetooth audio lower on importance to me. Can't argue with telephony being on top. I wonder how it is with pmOS on Oneplus 6? I have a pinephone, but the modem is dead/not recognized or something anymore, so now it's just a mini tablet that I always leave at home.

I learned this recently and used it to get my feed on my personal website.

you can also get your feed with replies: https://your-instance/@username/with_replies.rss and you can get rss of tags with, for #example tag: https://intance/tags/example.rss

It uses apk from Alpine. It has dinit instead of systemd. I think it has some similarities to runit, but I'm not sure. Instead of gnu coreutils, it uses utilities from freebsd.

just downloaded it and booted it up in qemu. started up fast and working well. I ran apk upgrade. I've really liked using apk on postmarketOS and have thought before that if I switch distros on my laptop or desktop that I'd like to try Alpine(currently Void on laptop/desktop.) But now I might consider Chimera. Interested to see how the project develops, but looks like it's off to a good start.

I guess there's no C flat, because that would just be B

I can't speak for Apollo users, but as a user of Infinity and Slide, one of the best features was no ads

good read. I hope more villages in Georgia and Armenia will do the same. I lived in a small village in Georgia in 2012 and had mobile internet at 5 gigabytes a month. I had to choose between video calls with family, downloading/streaming for entertainment and always had to think about how much data I'm consuming. I was checking my data balance multiple times a day sometimes.

Things have improved since then. There are some wired providers in some areas, but the infrastructure still isn't there in many places.

I don't know, but I just tried turning off javascript in ublockorigin and then I noticed the username in top right wasn't mine. Weird

I don't know. I was just curious about microsoft surface and if linux could run on it and found that in a search.

and unpaid mods moderating

wal-mart is profitable and they at least pay workers minimum wage. u/spaz can't make a profit when unpaid mods do most of the work for them. Not a very good CEO

saw this recently: https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface but I don't own one. I was just curious about it and found that project.

I did. The account was 7 years old. I'd deleted old comments a few times before, but this time i went all in and deleted everything and the account. I have an alt that I never posted from and rarely logged into. I'm going to delete it soon, just interested in what happens today and then probably delete it tonight.

don't know where you're from, but I saw this domain earlier and it reminded me of when I lived in southern US and people would always say "heard that!"

Void Linux on my Thinkpad and Thinkstation. On Pinephone and Pinetab I'm running postmarketOS. I really like postmarketOS and using apk, so if I were to get a new laptop or every change the distro on my laptop or desktop, then I might try Alpine. On raspberry pi 3, it's raspbian. I use that mainly to run pi-hole and pivpn.

I distro hopped for a little while, but then settled on Void. It does what I need and was easy to get set up how I want. It's a rolling release and I haven't ever had any big issues with upgrading. The worst issue I've had was when they recently removed pipewire-media-session and switched to wireplumber. After checking a couple posts on reddit and on void's documentation, I got it set up the recommended way without any trouble and audio is working fine.

edit: wanted to add that my Thinkpad also has OpenBSD as a dual boot option, but I haven't booted into it in a long time. One day I'd like to try a BSD as a server(not on a laptop, of course.) Also, the Thinkstation has Windows 10/Void dual boot, but I never boot into Windows.

at some point in the past I created an account on twitter but it seemed pointless to me. Then it got bigger and was always getting mentioned/quoted and I gave it another shot thinking maybe I was just doing it wrong. Nope, still sucked.

That said, I do have a mastodon account, but I don't like a lot of things about it. When I'm looking at my timeline, I never know if something is a top level post or a reply to someone else unless I click on it.

I thought we were all lizard people here

This is one of my goto's if I want something quick

Low Sodium Ribeye Fajitas

edit: could also use chicken breast instead of ribeye. I just made it that way last night.

Seasoning: (adjust to taste, I don't do these exact amounts every time)
* 1 tsp cumin
* 1/2 tsp oregano
* 3/4 tsp garlic powder
* 1/4 tsp onion powder
* 1/4 tsp pepper
* optional: dash of red pepper flakes
mix together seasoning ingredients in small bowl

* 1 ribeye steak, sliced
* sliced red bell pepper
* sliced green bell pepper
* sliced onion
* optional: sliced jalapenos
* olive oil

( I'm usually lazy and buy fajita pepper and onion mix at Kroger that's already sliced )

Fry your slices of steak in some olive oil until they're about halfway cooked and then add the bell peppers and onion. When it's near done add in the seasoning mixture. Serve on tortillas with sour cream or however you like it. Quick prep and cook time!

Is Zappos in the ballpark? I remember reading something about them once, but it's been a long time.
