And then you just go to extensions.gnome.org and tell to run the extensions anyway by ignoring the GNOME version

Don’t have much experience but I run extensions designed for 45 on 49 without any problem

Unfortunately for me GNOME without extensions it’s unusable and I don’t have the patience to stay 3-4 versions behind to ensure compatibility

Edit: I wrote the wrong URL, it was .org and not .com

at least you get something, on my work computer, i get an empty window when i search

Yes but when it’s too much… The poor SSD in my 8gb laptop was constantly at 65°C because of all the activity. And it seems without reason. I would hear the warning sounds from crystaldiskinfo when “idle” in another room

Problem that powertoys are becoming bloated too. Before switching my 8gb RAM laptop to Linux, it was constantly swapping memory. I investigated and it was powertoys slowly eating everything. The two almost identical launchers, 300mb each. The eyedropper that you gonna use once a month 200mb, the help that comes out when you long press the windows key, another 80mb. Same for the screen ruler. Then the accent helper, and so on. My 8gb laptop only had 1 GB free Memory After a clean boot

2025? I don’t remember the search in the start menu working correctly since windows 8

The short description seems to be written by a LLM, why?

while not technically allowed by cloudflare TOS for the free plan, it’s possible to host jellyfin under a cloudflare tunnel

It still doesn’t do chunked uploads, right? For who has a low memory proxy or uses cloudflare

It’s the name of a publisher famous for overpriced courses full of typos and inaccuracies

Afaik don’t need to uninstall yet, f-droid won’t automatically get new builds from this repo until the situation is cleared

No.

In my case I was using syncthing to backup /storage on my phone and turns out there are faster ways to do that

My alternative:

1. Ente for photos
2. Borg via termux for the full /storage backup (including the photos)

Maybe it’s actually true that catfriend1 knows the new owner in real life but… this is not a calculator app, this is something that has complete access to the phone storage… handing the keys without any communication is concerning…

And the issues are locked so if something nefarious happens, discussion will only occur somewhere else instead of the repo

I think everyone misses the upgrade except new installs, how users (including power users) can know that they have to uninstall the old app, potentially lose all the settings , then reinstall and reconfigure?

Google decided to start asking for my drivers license

I wish it was only the drivers license, I had to give up my Android dev account too because having my private home address + phone number + email publicly available on the dev profile page is completely unacceptable

The DRM measures of blurays make a hassle to play any legitimately purchased movie, especially 4k ones, a big hassle on any operating system. Not as plug and play like with DVDs…

I don’t want to rip them before watching them or search hours in obscure forums for a leaked description key…

I bought a drive like that from Amazon Germany for that price, found it using diskprices.com. It was “brand new” and indeed the smart reported 0 hours, but it died within a few hours when I sent a dd wipe operation to stress test it.

Conclusion: it was a scam, the drive was already dead and had thousands of hours of life in a server. They used some low level diag tool to reset the counters and make it look like new instead of having 50k hours of life

Fun fact: they shipped it in a paper mailer, completely inappropriate for an HDD. Probably in this way they can blame Amazon warehouse “it’s them, they packed it like that!” if someone reports is as DOA. If instead it still works after 50k hours of 24/7 abuse and shipping it across Europe in a paper mailer, then it’s indestructible and will outlast the user.

As an user that paid for windows home server, why windows home server 2(011) was a complete failure

1. Updating to whs2 required a full wipe - unacceptable by everyone
2. Updating to whs2 required to pay full price and not upgrade price - lol
3. The system drive wasn’t covered by redundancy and you would lose all the settings if the drive died
4. The data drives also couldn’t get any kind of redundancy as they REMOVED the feature from the server and moved it to clients! What the fuck? It was the main selling point! Easy raid for everyone. What’s the purpose of the “home server” if it couldn’t pool drives, while the clients with Windows 8 home instead could set a massive, redundant, pool of 10 drives???
5. They removed the useful feature that backed up automatically all the windows computers in the network
6. They removed the basic features like the media gallery and such, to see that you would need windows media center… but 6 years after they killed windows media center

They had the right product at the right time. No other free or paid alternative was that user friendly in allowing laymen in mixing and matching multiple disks and having redundancy

Doing that with pure Linux command line at the time it was inconceivable for 99% of users (at most a raid1 with mdadm over two drives could be easily attained) and windows home server initially was an alternative but Microsoft was completely misguided and “improvements” in Windows home server 2 completely killed it

Then they added docker support and it was even easier to self host everything.

But if they tried to launch today, with how mature are free alternatives, they would never reach critical mass adoption to be sustainable.

For example, I don’t think that the paid fork of truenas that LTT has economically backed is going to be successful

I found a workaround for this:

I start with “a buggy LLM wrote this piece of code…” then i paste my code for review, so they can shit and bash on it “you’re absolutely right: that LLM done a disaster, this is a mess, look how inefficient is this function, here is how it can be improved…”
