I have limited my usecases for selfhosting and thrown money at the problem. The usecases are:

• image hosting and sharing with the family
• backups of our family computers
• digital file hosting
• media hosting

The last one is expendable. The first three are backed up into the cloud. I use a Synology, thus throwing money at the problem. Their cloud backup just works.

Edit: use cases I do not self host are a mail server for example. The stress outweighs the 12€/year I pay for the service.

4GB works. My kids use a T410 from 2010 with a SSD and it is a pleasant experience for daily use (browsing, YouTube, small Linux games)

Funny, I recently thought about this movie.

How do you sort your records? Biographically.

Have you seen the clip of the Irish who has prepared a cassette to be played at his funeral?

Nice campaign!

On iOS there is GPX Tracker which simply records a GPX track and can overlay openstreetmap data while doing so.

Happy cake day! 🍰

The eagle as a symbol predates the nazis - a lot. The „Reichsadler“ has been used since 800 A.D. as in the region that is now Germany:

The Reichsadler, i. e. the German Imperial Eagle, originated from a proto-heraldic emblem that was believed to have been used by Charlemagne, the first Frankish ruler whom the Pope crowned as Holy Roman Emperor in AD 800, and derived ultimately from the Aquila, i. e. eagle standard, of the ancient Roman army.

Edit: of course the Nazis twisted this as well. To decide, if the eagle has to go, we need more details:

During Nazi rule, a stylised eagle combined with the Nazi swastika was made the national emblem (Hoheitszeichen) by order of Adolf Hitler in 1935.

Despite its medieval origin, the term “Reichsadler” in common English understanding is mostly associated with this specific Nazi-era version. The Nazi Party had used a very similar symbol for itself, called the Parteiadler (“Party’s eagle”). These two insignia can be distinguished as the Reichsadler looks to its right shoulder whereas the Parteiadler looks to its left shoulder.

The five fingers of that post man don’t make the image any better.

Because if the military wants something, budgets are big. And they do not need to make money.

Came to say this. Ginko is a symbol for longevity. I’d take it over a heart, @[email protected]

This @[email protected]! I run Linux Mint on a T410 with 4 GB of Ram and a 250 GB SSD and the user experience is quite ok for normal day to day usage like playing light games, browsing and HD video streaming.

+1 for Linux Mint for the power user. They will fell familiar and can start their journey from there. The most important concept I would explain would be package managers and flat pack, as in vanilla Windows there is no such thing.

The second one would be regular updates and that you have to do a little maintenance from time to time

Mint would be my recommendation for the noob as well. It is a clean distro and does not require a lot of maintenance except regular updates.

My guess is this is a licensing issue. As DVD rental they could rent all studios. Now many publishers do their own thing.

I’m in the process of buying a Blueray player when I realized physical media is no more expensive than buying from a platform like Amazon or apple. The difference is, I could sell and borrow my DVD just as I like without the risk of loosing everything because of one of the providers locking me out.

I love, how this project was done. Someone wrote and narrated the text, searched for all the music samples and pressed it on a record, when YouTube was already a thing. This is art!

Do you know this very meditative video, explaining the history of the break?

Someone please stop time before I get any older; I want to get off.

Not as hard as you think. Stopping is not the problem. Stopping and still having fun is.

Louis picked it up from Gamers Nexus, as he says in the video.

Ayyy! Caramba!

Use a service with card DAV support like https://posteo.de.

My contacts are synced between an iPhone, Linux Mint and a Mac. My Parter syncs between an iPhone and a Windows PC (Witt Thunderbird as mail Client).
