I briefly looked at AWS S3 Glacier storage, thinking maybe having a second cloud host for my backups would be good.
I can't actually figure out how much this will cost me because they charge per operation (you know, like PUT, GET, etc.) in addition to the storage costs (which I easily figured out).
@nixCraft I picked No, but my new system is all AMD and I’ve had zero driver problems, as opposed to the Intel/nVidia system forgetting how to GPU every 3-6 months
We have a car lease expiring soon, and I'd REALLY like to replace it with a hybrid. It's a Nissan Rogue, and we need something about that size/configuration.
I resent needing to own a car; Canada is far too car-centric.
Toyota, Kia, Honda all have decent hybrid
Toyota, Kia, Honda don't have any stock, and the wait times are 5-12 months
Seems like there's a missed opportunity here for someone making hybrids…
Really glad I didn't wipe my old laptop before getting it ready for my wife to play games on... I keep finding things I failed to transfer.
Earlier this week it was my VeraCrypt image with my tax documents (the one I had on the new laptop was missing last year's!). Today it's all of my email contacts in Thunderbird.
More terrifying than any first-time dungeon: musical performances. And I used to do these IRL, some just with a piano accompaniment - and those were terrifying too.
Apparently fictional audiences bring back that feeling.
But it's done and I hope I don't have to repeat that again. I still remember my hideous performance during the "be a conductor" Starlight event...🙈
🛠️ Title: QuiteRSS (Help !)
(2/2)
(...)
It has a few shortcomings (it tends to bring up the same News and ignores other links), and recently I've started using Akregator as well (works better, but no search on feed names - only on articles, fewer options, and the reporting in the systray is unreadable). I've tried others, but none are powerful enough for the number of links I need to track for this site.
Is there anyone who could take over the maintenance of QuiteRSS?
if anything is gonna be the straw that breaks the camels back and ACTUALLY makes for a 'this year is the year of linux on the desktop', its gonna be stuff like this
Is there a Linux [window manager / desktop environment / whatever they're called these days] that has good support for fractional resolution scaling on hidpi displays? My aging eyes really want 150% scaling for this Framework 13 laptop, but gnome only offers 100% and 200%.
EDIT: so far KDE does the right thing. I wish there were more options though.
@aeva I think Gnome can do fractional if you use Wayland instead of X11; KDE too. IIRC I’ve got my KDE/Wayland session at 125% (Framework 16, 54 year old eyeballs).
Since I can't stop thinking about expanding my NAS (I've got a 2-bay NAS now, apparently my brain "needs" a 4+ bay NAS), so I'm looking into building one from parts vs just buying the 4-bay Synology.
Finding small cases with four drive bays is apparently hard; they've all got 1-2 bays and a huge amount of space for a massive GPU because only gamers buy them?
Hey, you know what? For around the cost of upgrading to a 4-bay NAS, I can just double the storage in my existing hardware. And I can just plug in the new drives (one at a time) and repair the volume.
