Apparently I lied. My laptop is running windows with the lid closed and the fans are occasionally firing up for a second. Strange.

That’s strange, I hadn’t heard that thanks. Time to do some research.

I sometimes dual boot into windows on the same laptop and it also hits the fans hard, especially after booting up, but it doesn’t suffer the periodic fan problem. Not that I’m shilling for windows. I hate windows and use Linux on my server.

It is; it’s a Lenovo Legion 5. Or something like that.

I also settled on fedora with kde but the fans in my laptop keep spinning up every few seconds, even when locked. It’s very annoying.

I refrained from using that joke with my wife as we walked to our hotel room 404 as I knew she wouldn’t get it and would think I was pathetic. 😄

I started my development career working on a VAX-VMS system. We had a large cupboard full of documentation for the OS, and it contained every answer I needed. Multiple volumes of documentation!

It was so much better reading official the docs to understand how a particular system call worked. And very gratifying being able to internally say “I worked it out for myself!”. I miss those days.

RTFMP - I’d read the man pages if I could decipher them. 😁

How “safe” is ZimaHost, given that it’s developed by a Chinese company? No offense to them, but the Chinese government does like to have absolute control over everything.

How reliable has YunoHost been for you, for example when updating it or the apps you’ve installed?

I immediately blocked the new AI features. It’s cunningly strange how they worded it. “Toggle on to block AI features”, which means some people might look at it and think “it’s turned off, so the AI stuff must be disabled”. Sneaky.

You and me both! Weekends are very disruptive these days!

Who are “they”?

We use MariaDB at work but I don’t know why it was originally chosen over PostgreSQL, as that was before my time.

That’s pretty good!

How much storage is it using?

Sadly my current work is 100% windows only. My previous job was all linux, which I really, really miss.

I’ve got Debian with XFCE on the X220 I’m using as a server. No fuss, it just gets on with its job.

Damn. Shame I need a browser on Windows, Linux, iOS and android. Which is why I’ve been using Firefox for so long.

The iOS app on my phone doesn’t have that option.

Hopefully they improved face tagging. I can’t work out how to add a new person’s name.
