I scored an Optiplex 7050 SFF with 250GB SSD, 16GB RAM, and an i5-6500 for under $100 on an ebay auction last year. I threw in another 16 GB of RAM, an i7-7700, 300W PSU from an Optiplex XE3 (factory for a 7050 SFF is 180W…), factory SD card reader + faceplate, and an Nvidia Quadro K1200 (why? I don’t remember, but it’s better than the iGPU).

I had the same IP address for almost four years through Spectrum in Upstate NY, on a residential plan. It changed once. I ended up moving anyway though, so I didn’t get to see how long that one stuck around.

2014?

Man, that phrase was cringe when I joined in 2012. Was a much better site back then though.

Yeah, but the general smartphone user is gonna want the weather where they are right now. And that means the phone needs location data and pings a server somewhere often enough to get “real-time” weather updates.

I’m a tinkerer at heart but when I put a weather widget on my home screen, I want it updated automatically. I don’t want to have to manually refresh it every time I want up to date weather at that moment, especially on my watch.

Use a different launcher

How else do you think weather apps work?

Something something interject, something something modified GNU, something something Linux kernel

Go on…

There’s just something about the term “butthole” instead of the harsher “asshole” that really drives a point home.

Fuck. I have a domain and workspace account associated with that domain through Google.

Goddammit.

They can restore the bot accounts, sure, but they can’t restore the servers that run those bot accounts.

Might I interest you in Prowlarr as an alternative to Jackett? It handles the entire indexer process for the other *arr apps, so you don’t have to update each app independently.

I’ve been using KeePass for a very long time. It works, and the Google Drive plugin syncs without any issues. I have it set up on multiple devices, all pulling from my Google Drive, and each instance of KeePass has it’s own key file. So even if someone got a hold of the main database, it’s useless without the key file, which is only hosted on specific devices.

It won’t immediately, but it’s clearly a sinking ship.

Man, I remember crossing the 10GB threshold for my music collection back in high school. I’m at 54GB now, just music. Back then my friends and I all had iPods set to “manually managed”, so we all shared what we had with each other without fear of losing anything. Then we figured out how to copy all of it off the iPod to a hard drive and sort it properly.

Fuck… I still have shit with creation dates as far back as 2003. Is this how it feels to be old??

I did the same with my two accounts at 7 and 8 years old (neither match this username).

One of them is a novelty account, I wonder if I can sell it 🤔

Plenty of newer reddit users legitimately think reddit itself is just an app and have no clue there’s even a desktop site. I’ve blown some minds when I mentioned the fact that I’d been using the best third party app RiF for over a decade and used old reddit on desktop.

Do it. Use “Power Delete Suite”, it has an option to edit comments before deleting everything.

OneNote is absolutely free. I use it for a lot of things, at home and work.

Edit: I guess, I should say that it doesn’t cost money. It certainly isn’t “free” as in “freedom”, but it’s incredibly handy.
