I’m beautiful and tough like a diamond…or beef jerky in a ball gown.
And you’re going to honestly believe a mod’s reasoning at face-value?
Irrelevant. As a literate human being, I can click on your username and see your submissions. I can search the alt they listed and read those submissions. And, finally, I can look at those and arrive at the conclusion that both of those seem like trolling and the same person.
Now that you’ve been sufficiently fed, I bid you adieu with my handy dandy block button.
You mean this post that’s not removed? https://kbin.melroy.org/m/unpopularopinion@lemmy.world/t/1316788
(Edit: Fixed wrong post link. That link was to this post 🤦)
Looks like a cromulent, albeit absolute shit, opinion to me. So far so good (using that phrase loosely). BUT… you seem to have behaved very asshole-ish in the comments.
And the modlog says Trolling and Ban Evasion and listed another alt with a similar post history to yours that was also banned for trolling and hasn’t posted since your account was created. 🤔
So, maybe instead of whinging you do some self reflection, yeah?
Yep, that’s why I haven’t messed with Kubernetes either; way overkill for a homelab and especially so since I downsized due to soaring electricity costs here.
The only reason I gave up on Docker Swarm was that it seemed pretty dead-end as far as being useful outside the homelab. At the time, it was still competing with Kubernetes, but Kube seems to have won out. I’m not even sure Docker CE even still has Swarm. It’s been a good while since I messed with it. It might be a “pro” feature nowadays.
Edit: Docker 28.5.2 still has Swarm.
Still, it was nice and a lot easier to use than Kubernetes once you wrapped your head around swarm networking.
I had 15 of the 2013-era 5010 thin clients. Most of them have had their SSDs and RAM upgraded.
They’ve worn many hats since I’ve had them, but some of their uses and proposed uses were:
Of the 15, I think I’m only actively using 4 nowadays. One is my MPD+Snapcast server, one is running HomeAssistant, ,the third is my backup LDAP server, and one runs my email server (really). The rest I just spin up as needed for various projects; I downsized my homelab and don’t have a lot of spare capacity for dev/test VMs these days, so these work great in place of that.
do GSI roms still contain google binaries (play store, play services, etc…) or is it similar to a AOSP rom where its just a bare android image
Yes. That’s to say they can be either depending on how the ROM was built. All of the GSI ROM builders I’ve worked with usually have multiple releases of the same build with different configurations: root, no root, with Google services (often MicroG), without Google services, combinations of both, etc.
To my understanding, GSI ROMs are basically just the “userland” portion of a full ROM. Basically they use the stock/existing kernel, drivers, etc but replace the rest of the system that runs on top of it. If memory serves, they’re possible due to Project Treble. Sadly, they still require an unlocked bootloader to install, so they’re not a total fix-all.
They’re also very generic generic images (hence the “G” in the term). They’re not optimized for any specific device and can be hit-or-miss feature wise depending on the device. If you’re already reading about a specific device on XDA forums, then you’ll probably be able to see what works and what doesn’t.
TL;DR: Running a GSI ROM is like upgrading to a newer Linux distro but without upgrading the kernel.
In my nearly half century on this planet and having dealt with many a drug dealer in my younger days, absolutely none of them have been this pushy 😆
“Does it piss you off when Google/whatever does [blank]? Yeah, me too. So I run my own versions to not have to deal with that crap. Would you like me to set you up an account on my stuff?”
Best I can offer is https://github.com/searxng/searxng
I run it at home and have configured it as the default search engine in all my browsers.
[Weary sigh]
At best, it’s JARVIS from Iron Man 3 when he went all buggy and crashed Tony in the boondocks. lol
To me it is the ultimate gamble with one’s own thought autonomy, and an abandonment of truth in favor of false comfort.
So, like church? lol
No wonder there’s so much worrying overlap between religion and AI.
I’m about that same age but am so glad we’ve largely abandoned the “www” for websites.
On my personal project website, I have a custom listener setup to redirect people to “aarp.org” if they enter it with “www” instead of just the base domain. 😆

The only one I didn’t hate was the jingle:
🎵 "F-R-E-E that spells "free"
credit report dot com, baby". 🎵
😆
Yeah, but they should take that pissing contest out of the UX.
I was an adult during that time, and I don’t recall it being anywhere near as annoying. Well, except the TV and radio adverts spelling at you like “…or visit our website at double-you double-you double-you dot Company dot com. Again, that’s double-you double-you double-you dot C-O-M-P-A-N-Y dot com.”
YMMV, but it didn’t get annoying until apps entered the picture and the only way to deal with certain companies was through their app. That, of if they did offer comparable capabilities on their website but kept a persistent banner pushing you toward their app.
Yeah, I didn’t watch this video b/c I’m at work, but I have seen his ebike video so I’m assuming the construction is similarly well thought out.
It’s just that all the fuses and BMSs can’t protect against a dodgy cell that decides to self-immolate. For cheap, disposable devices that are only meant to be charged 5-10 times or less and then thrown away, I’m super wary of the batteries that are chosen for those. Have seen too many things burst into flames and even expensive well cared-for devices turn into spicy pillows.
Not that I’d own a smart fridge, but if I did and they started shoving ads on it, it’d look like this later that day:
I predate both of those events by multiple decades lol.
Printers were well established even on the Trash-80 I grew up with. The bloatware drivers aren’t really what I’m talking about. I suppose Clippy could be considered prior art to the whole “shoving AI in your face” but at the time I was a WordPerfect fanboy.
Corrosion is definitely a red flag, but that looks like just surface corrosion. Just from the picture, it doesn’t look deep, but it would need to be removed from the breaker and inspected to be sure.
If the issue is “downstream” of the meter, then it’s 100% the property owner’s problem. Unfortunately, the only options you have are to hire an electrician yourself or keep prodding your landlord until they take responsibility.
