Using Kagi is not a bad decision. After reading a lot of positive things about it and beeing quite hyped, I was so ungently reminded, that every good thing comes with its own baggage of bad.
I thought I share it, so that everyone can make their own decision.
I also tried Metager, a german meta search engine. Sad to report: not usable for me, although I like their club (suma-ev) and donated some money towards them.
For now it’s DDG I guess. :-(
If your goal is to get away from this AI shit show, Kagi might not be the answer, according to their own blog.
I will search for a very interesting article you should read, before deciding to give kagi any money.
Edit: found it
Piwigo loocks great. How does it compare to Immich?
That sounds like a great idea.
At the moment I am using Openmediavault as a VM within proxmox - I pass my HDDs through to this VM. Openmediavault let’s me do all the stuff I want to: Share folders via SSH, NFS and raid-management.
Do you know if I can do the same with proxmox directly? Do you maybe have a link where this way is described in detail?
Yes, ukraine should lose some more soldiers to take a cut out of russia, to really show them. /s
Damn, this position at the sideline, rooting for our team, surley is comfortable.
That’s the neat part - you don’t! Fuck Adobe.
Who puts up with this shit anyway? Go buy an Apple. You can eat it while installing Linux.
Yes, convenience is the main reason people like you use discord. But there are many reasons against using it and I am sure you know all of them, so no need for a discussion.
Just wanted to highlight: you are part of the discord problem.
“Hop on the discord server”… Boooo. What happened to the good old Forum. Searchable and all.
Follow me on instagram for more great criticism.
Lemmy interpreted the * as something cursive. I try to edit it like I mean it.
Sorry to hear, I feel you:
I wanted to delete all .m3u-files in my music collection when I learned:
find ./ -name "*.m3u" -delete -> this would have been the right way, all .m3u in the current folder would have been deleted.
find ./ -delete -name "*.m3u" -> WRONG, this just deletes the current folder and everything in it.
Who would have known, that the position of -delete actually matters.
I bought a used Synology before knowing more about NAS alternatives. I hated every minute with it… Because it was a bit older, security updates could stop anytime. And using the proprietary OS felt even more unsave. Who knows what backdoors are build in there? I sold it after I found out that there is no way to install a custom OS or any alternative to the proprietary version.
Edit: found a picture of it:
However to expect things to just be done for us out of the kindness of people’s hearts I think is bordering on entitled.
Yes, there are people who do that, but there are many more people in the FOSS world who don’t expect anything and instead contribute.
Focusing on the entitled people won’t make you happy, reagardless the topic.
My father printed the GNU license 100 times, rolled it up and gave me a good beating with it. The only true way to learn about the four freedoms.
I can only assume, that these downvotes are meant as a not so smart joke.
What is the name of the client software on the pi? How did you connect your pi to an amplifier?
And I have no intention of living off the technological grid to mitigate that.
I would argue that you are already living off the technology grid. Before starting my FOSS journey, every software I used was a dull ‘Just click here and let the algorithm do it’s job’. By beeing conscious about the software I am using now, I accidently found a lot of joy in technical things, feeling a lot more ‘on’ the technological grid than before.
Can you elaborate on what doomsday scenario you’re referring to?
I am not the commenter above, but my greatest fear with all those data hungry companies is the control and power we give to not elected entities. Knowing all about every person in a state and knowing how to use this data for targeted ads, targeted video recommendations, targeted search results,…, could make a difference in elections and law making. It is basically undermining democracy, and I am a big fan of real democracy.
I am a total beginner in this regard, but maybe maybe this could help you:
Check out PBR - policy-based-routing. On OpenWRT there is an app for this task, vpn-policy-routing (together with luci-app-vpn-policy-routing for a GUI inside LuCi). This app helped me to route all traffic coming from my PiVPN to the WAN interface, instead of my commercial NordVPN. Now at home all my traffic goes to NordVPN and when I am not at home I can easily VPN into my home network.

Other than that, the OpenWRT Forum is very helpful, don’t hesitate to ask your questions there.
Thank you, that sounds like my favorite option so far!
Valid question, fuck those downvoters.
