AI bros are trying really hard to convince people that their parrots can be useful in business settings.

Who the fuck announces a product on a Sunday? They must not have much hope this will sell...

Longer support windows with LTS? I could see some people or industries sticking with a particular LTS in order to keep particular pieces of software running.

Otherwise, I agree, why bother.

I wonder if updates between Ubuntu versions break with all these changes.

I 100% agree with your advice.

I tried learning Portuguese with Duolingo, in a couple of months I only managed to learn words, but no grammar. I fared better with Babel, which has more structured courses, but since there was no accountability, I wasn't diligent and did not progress much. Finally, I enrolled in an evening class and in the span of 4 months my level went from "I barely know the basics" to A1.2

Also, as others mentioned, consuming content in said language and conversing (even online) helps a lot (that's how I honed my English), having a pen pal is even better.

I've always used OVH, never had problems with them. They also offer emails for pretty cheap.

Telegram are being paid by xAI to use their product? Isn't it supposed to be the other way around?

I did not stray much from the default setup as I rarely need more than one container, especially at work. I did set some rules like opening YouTube and inbox.google.com (which redirects to GMail) in the Personal one.

I also installed the very handy Easy Container Shortcuts for opening new containers with keyboard shortcuts, as well as Facebook Container in an attempt to limit Meta's tracking[^1].

Most probably Microsoft has set objectives for how much LoC are from LLMs and developers invented numbers to match that metric (because they probably have things more important to do than counting LoC)

Oh right, I confuse the two

Power off. I never used hibernation nor suspend (even on Windows) and as I don't use some of my computers for weeks, it just doesn't make sense to keep them suspended for so long. And now that I'm on Fedora Atomic Desktop with auto-updates, I would have to reboot regularly anyway in order to apply updates.

Only exception is the Steam Deck for which I kept suspend so I can pick up my games where I left off.

This. Just setup fail2ban or similar in front of Jellyfin and you'll be fine.

To re-enable them, you have to set misc.etc_dnsmasq_d to true either by editing /etc/pihole/pihole.toml or using the pihole-FTL command:

sudo pihole-FTL --config misc.etc_dnsmasq_d true

Looking for UPS suggestion (lemmy.blackeco.com)
submitted 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) by BlackEco@lemmy.blackeco.com to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
 

Hello,

I have been owning an APC Back-UPS BX1600MI for a little under two years and have been encountering issues with it recently: the battery failed in August, I had to RMA and the replacement one is stuck on battery power while plugged to the mains since last night.

From what I gathered online, this model is plagued with issues, so I'm looking for another one.

My requirements are:

  • Purchasable in the EU
  • Has a variant with FR or DE plugs
  • Can be monitored with NUT over USB or Ethernet
  • At least 900VA capacity but if I can get the same capacity as currently (1600VA) for about 200€ I would

Thanks a lot!

EDIT: The UPS is fine, it turns out my street's transformer had an issue and only provided 135V instead of the expected 230V, which means that the UPS was on battery for a valid reason. What lead me to believe that the UPS was at fault was that every other appliances seemed to work fine.
