I almost thought some new law was passed about WiFi and Windows Server in whatever country they’re in lmao

No, Njalla is. They have a history of stealing domains and banning users without explaining why and absolutely refuse to look into why a user got banned in the first place. On top of that generally terrible customer support.

I’ve had the complete opposite experience with 1984.hosting, support has been great and they even support GPG keys to one of their emails if you want to keep your inquires encrypted.

1984.hosting has a freely available to use DNS service for domains. They’re a good company that does what Njalla say they do but without the bullshit of stealing peoples domains.

I have a .cloud address that works fine. Just make sure DKIM, SPF and HELO is setup and configured properly.

Sleep is FOSS now

Search is definitely lacking sadly. Unsure if there’s even solid plans to make it much better either.

I don’t do a lot of message searching so luckily for me, it’s not something that bothers me too much.

Matrix seems like a perfect fit for you then!

Wow, good stuff. First when I saw the post my brain literally thought it was made for chronically online people but then I remembered about the business applications… Maybe I’m too chronically online…

I might give this a go for a friend of mine who just started a company, it will most likely be an amazing tool for him!

I am curious about the AI implementation, is it also ran on the server or do you connect to an external service like OpenAI? If it’s local, which model is it running and is it ethically sourced data?

I’ll be keeping an eye on this project, seems great and I’m so glad you made it open source too!

Just login to google or apple on your smart fridge and look at the last GPS position there or ring it

I don’t have a lot of input on this sadly but I would believe that the audio thing you mentioned could probably easily be fixed with pipewire.

As an example you can look at qpwgraph and see that you can pipe one input into several programs at once. I’m however unsure how KVM will handle it.

Actually curious about this myself.

Personally with ADHD and some 'tism I do have difficulty with reading / might have a bit of dyslexia but I don’t find them improving my ability to read longer texts any better as “my eyes get fatigued” (don’t know how to explain it). What does help myself is larger text, shorter paragraphs and larger line spacing.

You can get a white friend to do a side-character of a person that ran away from the fire getting charred.

Maybe it’ll turn into that one scrubs flashback

My CalyxOS came pre-installed with Breezy Weather

And Linux Mint DE instead of NixOS and Arch Linux and openSUSE Tumbleweed and Fedora 😊

Almost sounds like it, these were all recent experiences. I’ve been looking at Lenovo previously as a potential “look-at-first” brand, can’t really say goto since if there was something more fitting I’d drop them in a heart beat back when looking for laptops but their offerings were cheaper and on paper didn’t seem to lack much.

I had my internship there this year. The issues with my lenovo laptop started in 2021 after I bought it, managed to get my money back after 2 years late last year and decided to go full time on the Steam Deck as my personal computer alongside a portable monitor.

The HP laptops all felt pretty solid when I set them up, the company gave me a spare Lenovo laptop that was just laying around that worked okay, forgot which model but I think it was probably around their 1200 euro range probably. But the HPs didn’t have much in terms of keyboard flex and the trackpad felt really nice, however I was only having it for a couple of hours before they were being repackaged to get to the customer so no real time to judge anything.

I ralso recognised having brand loyalty towards prefab computers were pointless pretty early on. Everything from the lack of upgraidability to the lack of easy access to repairs and sending enormous parts for minor things just wasn’t cutting it for me. I’m glad with my Steam Deck now actually, with my monitor and wireless keyboard and mouse I can manage my own IT stuff at home from anywhere and do my dev stuff pretty comfortably. Knowing I can also go to ifixit to buy spare parts whenever I want is a nice bonus!

As for HP being shit in every other area, yea, I’m always gonna keep in mind to not buy their printers and stay away from them as much as possible.

What did add up on Lenovo’s side was their customer support in my country. They were very kind and helpful regarding my issue but I couldn’t sit around and wait for it to be fixed and them trying 100 different things.

But thank you for telling me your experience, I’ll make sure to keep it in mind when getting my job and hopefully have the opportunity to be able to give someone something that won’t break!

Would love to hear your thoughts on HP. I had an internship at a IT company doing general setup and maintenance for businesses IT and since each consultant managed their own customer they often stuck with their own brands.

Having setup some of these I often felt like Lenovo was hot garbage, I’ve had a lenovo laptop with terrible manufacturing issues and the company I was at too and some of my friends. I would feel lucky if I get a Lenovo laptop without errors. Dell I haven’t heard anything bad of in general, one employee usually preferred buying them and then one other preffered HP. There was one or two people there who ordered Lenovo simply because they were so much cheaper for the specs but build quality and other components are just so garbage.

Of course, I’m not speaking about their budget 300 euro to 700 euro laptops now. The ones I was able to handle and setup were all 1300 to 3500 euros.

12 people?? Damn, I barely know one!

Did you drift with the packages?

This is true.
