  • I don't have a definitive answer to your first question, but why would we want to limit a sub to FOSS-only discussion? It's a more restrictive designation. By calling the sub "open source" we're keeping it open to software that isn't technically FOSS.

  • I don't think he's QAnon. I don't think he believes MOST of the nutjobs that he lets on his show, or even cares what they believe. But he lets a bunch of QAnon people on his show, so a bunch of QAnon people listen to him. And he keeps letting weirdos on his show because that's what his listeners want.

    I would agree that the context is entirely different in Asia, his show is mostly harmful to Americans and wouldn't affect other countries much.

  • Ah yes, they fired a bigot. How dare they!

    I'll see if I can find a password manager created by other small-minded bigots and let you know.

  • Sure, but you get what you pay for here. If you spend $500 you're gonna get a disposable piece of crap. If you're willing to step up to a nice brand (Rad bikes have a decent reputation) then you'll get something that's going to last several years, and the expendable parts (motor, battery, chain, gears, tires) are all replaceable. Theoretically, if you keep replacing those parts, a good e-bike will last forever. Whether or not you live near an e-bike repair shop is definitely a factor to consider, though.

  • That doesn't mean the website isn't garbage. It's good to call out trash sites like this so that people will stop going there.

  • LOL I have Ublock Origin so I don't see the pop-ups but the website just freezes after 3 seconds of scrolling, and I have to leave. They've really ruined their site. 😆

  • Very standard with any VPN, I'd say 150Mbps is quite good compared to the competition. You're sending your network traffic through a tunnel to another location, then they're relaying it to other places. There are several bottlenecks along the way.

  • Sounds like you bought a crappy scooter, honestly. Which one did you get? Most of the generic Chinese brands are basically disposable.

  • Works fine for me on desktop and mobile. Use Firefox + Ublock Origin.

  • Always buy more tubes than you think you need. They're a cheap, disposable part with lots of defects, so it shouldn't surprise you when you get a lemon. Return this one for a refund.

  • It's fine, if hit-and-run leeching was a huge problem then more trackers would enforce seed ratios. But most don't, because it's not. The fact that you mostly leech just means that you can't most private trackers. Oh well, just use the public trackers instead and seed what you can.

  • Okay, how bout they do the math, I check their work, and if I disagree I let them know? And what if that process didn't involve a bunch of complicated bullshit rules, and what if I didn't have to put money into garbage tax companies' pockets?

    I have one source of income and I am not rich. I don't have a trust, or investments, or multiple jobs. My taxes should be simple as hell, easy to file, and free.

    1. DON'T CONNECT TO WI-FI
    2. Shit+F10 (you might need to hit Fn+Shift+F10) will open up command prompt
    3. OOBE\BYPASSNRO
    4. It should now reboot and give you the option to make a local account in the fine print
  • $70 is dirt cheap? So far it runs kinda like shit on both Nvidia and Intel GPUs, and it runs slightly better on AMD cards for some reason.

    Honestly this is Bethesda's standard move, they make a poorly optimized game that runs like shit and just let the modders fix it for them. They've been doing it for decades now, I don't know why anyone is surprised.

  • Agreed, NextCloud performance is atrocious. You need decently powerful hardware to run it, so at that price point just buy a nice NAS.

  • Yeah the term "heat exchanger" describes a lot of things.

  • It's getting old. I did the thing, I deleted my Reddit account and moved to Lemmy. So I kinda just want to remove Reddit from my mind for a while, I don't see the need to let it live rent-free in my head.

  • Right, a KVM's usefulness is narrow and you're ideally using it as a sort of backup to a backup of critical systems. That means you usually only hear about them in server environments, and that means that sysadmins pay a LOT of money for enterprise-grade KVMs.

    But it's very cool that we can build a dirt cheap, half-decent KVM out of a Pi nowadays. I might have just left mine running if I there wasn't a Pi shortage; I wanted that Pi for other stuff.
