/31, looking shady since 3021

According ding the the law of minimal keystrokes, there’s actually only 9 to choose from.

After applying the law of minimal motion, you’re down to even fewer.

Then you go a step further to just using 127.1 (or your preferred last digit)

$1/month for a custom domain. One last migration. And then moving platforms is much easier because you don’t need to change the email on every service.

That said, I still hear you.

I’m with you on the first part but I believe that 2/4 PHP exploits have been observed in the wild.

JBOD = Just a Bunch Of Disks

RAID 0 with 7 disks is a funny thought. Maximum redundancy lol. … Edit: my brain broke for a moment and this has zero failure tolerance, 1 disk would break the whole thing.

Worth a mention that if you’re gonna do nested raid, 10 (1+0) has better fault tolerance than 01 (0+1).

shmod. and then cho-wn (ch’own? cho-un?)

and of course, hweel (jk on this one)

Splitters!

they make em with a usb-c + 3.5mm -> usb-c still not the same, but a way to get by

Have you found one that supports peered blocklists?

Oh they’re actually flying coach. 192 is just the average, it takes time to get through the airport.

Its still working in Vivaldi alo. Had to re-enable it tho, it’s “unsupported” but working.

In selection 2, you don’t seem to be selecting an image. You’re selecting text.

In method 1, it’s doing OCR. In method 2, its just reading the raw text data you selected. This is how you can copy text from thing A and Font A, and paste it into thing B with font B (depending on Thing B’s paste settings)

Hey I resemble that journey. Very few people metion DSL and Puppy. Those lived on a multiboot flash drive I carry around “JIC” (these days I just bring Mint and Tails).

I just commented elsewhere how Mint became home - that “long as you like” is still going (jeez 8y at this point lol).

I was gonna say that “and put effort into” is important.

I admin various Linux Servers, been through most distros at work and at home. I’m an experienced Linux admin/user. I’m settled on Mint at home for the foreseeable future.

After a long day/week/career doing IT, the last thing I want is for my primary PC to be a project-home. Mint Cinnamon ended up being the home I fell in love with - honestly was expecting it to be another kitchy distro that I would maybe reccommend for noobs (I mean it is also that). I couldn’t be happier - LMDE is the only thing that makes me wonder about greener grass.

I haven’t gotten to 95% perfect since Ubuntu pre-unity, and that one very long Arch build I did that one time. Even Debian, the home I grew up in, wasn’t the home I wanted to live in forever.

No shade on any other Distros/DEs out there. Everyone has different homes and it’s their home and I love that people have them and that they’re all different, and I want many options to keep existing. Past me would not understand present me’s choices.

your however is pointless.

Edit3: I thought about it and you’re right, the point is irrelevant in the context of this thread. Really should have been a separate comment re/ the target market.

I went to see to compare against a Thinkpad (E14).

Framework Laptop 13: $1140 for the Ultra 5 125H, 8GB, 256GB Lenovo E15: $1120 for the Ultra 5 225u 16GB, 256GB

Lenovo price is a “sale” on their site off the “list price” of $1340

Framework wins:

• The H series processor is superior to the U series, even if older model -More custo options in general - eg I can choose 16gb in 1 stick vs 2 sticks, or I can choose “none” (also for SSD) -I can choose No OS and save some money there

Framework loses: No Core 5 in stock. I don’t need a 7, that’s $2-300 I don’t need to spend

Framework Neutral: No 256SSD in stock. But I do have the option to get no SSD and just buy my own. Arguably a win for me but not ideal for some

I’m unclear if Laptop 13 is the correct comparison vs a Laptop 13 Pro. The E14 is a mid-tier pro model, not a top of the line, which is where I tend to chill with laptops since they’re not my dailies anyway).

Anyway, as someone shopping for a laptop, I see that prices are the same. Given this, Framework wins.

HOWEVER: If I was actually shopping for a laptop, I would buy a used older-model E14 on Ebay for say $400. I know it would last, they’re repairable, and for the cost I could buy spare parts now. Because this is a secondary (1/week) device for me, I wouldn’t spend $1100 on a laptop in general. Not when Thinkpads are ppossibly the next-most-repairable laptop out there.

Ultimate calculus - Framework isn’t for me. Yet.

Now, if I had the money for activism? Sure, let’s get more of these into the 2nd hand market, stop the waste. Or no second hand market at all, just upgrade like a Desktop.

At some point, I may have no need for a desktop. At that point, $1100 for a primary PC is a good price, esp if I can build on it. If I was a laptop user, me who like custo and upgradeability - Framework is a fair value, good price even.

Anyway, to the point of the comment chain above me, I would say it’s a 1:1 price. If you’re shopping in that spec range anyway. If you need lower spec than Core Ultra 5H, say Ultra/Ryzen 3U, Framework doesn’t target that audience - and neither do quality [major] OEMs (you might find a great sale somewhere of course). But basically a well-built mid-tier laptop just costs $1000-$1200 new these days (I’d have said $800-$1000 before the price hikes recently).

So I have Denoise settings, I will disable per your recc.

But I don’t have motion/blur (I don’t remember having it in the Roku OS either so my 6.5yo TV may just not have had that)

I have a Game Mode that seems to increase response time at the cost of picture quality, which I have disabled.

After reset i was given the 2 options of home or store. BTW Store did not have a setting to disable standby LED, so I reset again with Home, and lucky I did because that has slightly more settings, including that one.

You have full control of picture settings, yes. Also picture profiles (Movie, Vivid etc). Full color brightness contrast adjustment. HDR detection.

I had no Ethernet connected and never connected to wifi. There is no Roku OS. It’s a TCL OS with fewer settings. I could custom name the inputs and I personally made my HTPC inlut be startup. The main menu does have a static Roku Ad in Home mode. When starting instead on an input, input can be changed with the side drawer flyout menu, so I never have to see that main menu ad (not that it’s intrusive, there’s not really enough menu items to require a full screen anyway).

Nothing is bugging me to connect or do anything, and I couldn’t be happier. Wish I knew about this sooner.

Just did this. Appreciate the tip. I had to select In Store Demo, which made it a Dumb TV. Its perfect.

Edit: store demo isn’t required and has more limited settings. Just resetting and not connecting to anything makes it a dumb TV with no Roku OS on it. Inout selection, picture controls, sound controls, and that’d about it.

Cannot thank you enough. Dumbt TVs for life.

I just did a factory reset per another reply and I selected to set up as Store Demo, which makes it a dumb TV :)
