The easiest offsite backup would be any cloud platform. Downside is that you aren’t gonna own your own data like if you deployed your own system.
Next option is an external SSD that you leave at your work desk and take home once a week or so to update.
The most robust solution would be to find a friend or relative willing to let you set up a server in their house. Might need to cover part of their electric bill if your machine is hungry.
Joke’s on me, I still have to use windows at work!
Depends on the exact Nvidia card you’re using. The newer parts all have good drivers, but as you get older things get more fiddly.
But most of the improvement is in Steam’s compatibility mode. Proton allows you to run so many games with one click that use to be a whole project to configure.
Steam OS is based on arch, and outside of the Steam Deck it’s really not that great of a distro. It’s just tailor-made for that hardware and has good brand recognition.
Bazzite is a similar concept but operates better as an actual OS outside of being a gaming console.
Open AI kind of is a nonprofit. It’s a nonprofit entity owned by a for profit entity, which is fucky and defeats the purpose, but that’s an argument you’ll see people make.
Join me on Vivaldi browser!
If you’re on lemmy then there’s nothing that new and different about matrix. It’s the same idea for chat apps: you can join an existing server, or host your own. Matrix doesn’t federate, so you just need to add whatever new servers you want to join.
Element is one of the bigger client apps. Matrix.org is the biggest server. Those will get you started.
TempleOS is legit super impressive, it’s a shame the dude was pretty much insane but also that’s probably what it takes to code an entire OS from scratch entirely by yourself.
Forget that, is it the version where Jabba is a human gangster?
The short answer is: Apple collects much of the same data as any other modern tech composite, but their “walled garden” strategy means that for the most part only THEY have access to that info.
It’s technically lower risk since fewer parties have access to the data, but philosophically just about equally as bad because they aren’t doing this out of any real love for privacy (despite what their marketing department might claim)
I once broke the table of contents for a manual I was writing in MS Word. Spent like 2 days untangling that mess.
I’ve checked in on it for the last several months and only picked up like 3 games that sounded interesting. And those only because they were free/included in my prime subscription.
Valve is Augustus Caesar. A benevolent dictator that did much to improve the quality of life of his citizens, but still a dictator. They’ve centralized control over the PC gaming sphere and brought tons of legitimate improvements to the hobby. Now they have no legitimate competitors. Epic Games is a mosquito bite, Prime Gaming is nothing, GOG is the closest thing and even they’re miles behind.
It only took a couple of generations to go from Augustus to Nero. I do not anticipate good things once Gaben retires/dies.
Man, this infographic is like, EXACTLY why people are scared of Linux, lol.
It has a lot of good info but it’s just so overloaded. Can’t decide what story it wants to tell so it tells like 7 of them.
This is my experience playing with FreeBSD.
“These ports are cool, I can compile all the software from source so I know exactly what I’m getting!”
[This software has 100 dependencies]
“Well I’m not reading all that, I’ll just click Yes for all”
Even wearing super cyclical goggles, it doesn’t make sense for reddit to intervene here. Twitter is a competitor, why would they want to encourage people to link to a competitor?
Alright, let’s run a quick pacman -Syu to get everything squared up before I start this time- critical task.
…oh fuck
He’s making waffles in donkey heaven now.
Comment section tries not to blame Biden for actions taken by the judicial branch, with judges appointed by Bush and Trump. Difficulty: Impossible.
Personal/Family use is fine, it’s kinda fiddly but so is most selfhosted software.
At an organizational level, that fiddliness spirals into a ton of work, which doesn’t really overlap with other IT Duties in the way that troubleshooting OneDrive usually ends up solving problems with the whole Microsoft suite.
