$25 or less is the US Fed rule.

Pretty much the same here. the storage to quality ratio isn’t a big enough difference to make it worth it to me for anything over 1080. 720p is noticable but I’ll still use it no problem.

Worked in higher Ed for a decade. Can confirm.

Can confirm. Pi-hole does not block YouTube smart TV app ads. Hasn’t for a long time (2018ish?)

I use sefiniks (sp?) lists which has a YouTube list but no luck.

Fucking hell.

Tee hee

First OS: Win 95 (As a wee lad). First Linux: early lubuntu and backtrack that I used in college around 08-09.

Two, a main that I use 99% of the time and then another that’s in a walled garden type instance that I occasionally want to post in.

Ipa or pilsner? Right on!

I’m new too but I separated by root and home partitions this last install to try and allow that.

Torrents yes, always VPN. If you’re doing the debrid route, not required but personally I still do.

I am a big fan of mullvad VPN as they take no info from you to create an account. Can pay with crypto. No name, email or anything tied to their service. Used proton, nord and pia in the past.

Likewise, thank you.

As I was searching for a few questions I had I ended up on the reddit sub. So unfortunately got exposed already to it… toxic is right! Sheesh. Thank you for the tip about keeping up to date. That was sort of a question I had. I’ll probably just have it on a scheduled task.

I will say a day or two later I am really enjoying it thus far. A bit turned off by the manual install but now I know exactly what is on my system, like you said “curated” and I am really liking yay.

Hope your having a good day or night wherever you are.

ublock Origin + pihole.

For my pihole I use these lists: https://github.com/sefinek24/Sefinek-Blocklist-Collection

I just switched over today just to see what its all about. I’ve been using linux as my only OS for about a year now. Been on ubuntu, pop, fedora, etc… Sysadmin by trade. I am a linux novice I’d say. Not a noob, but not an expert. Still have a lot of issues just figuring out startup/service stuff, etc…

Followed this guide: https://gist.github.com/mjnaderi/28264ce68f87f52f2cabb823a503e673 (I wanted my drive encrytped).

I am up and running and basically back to where I was on fedora 40. I was doing this mainly to always be on the latest. Having to learn pacman and yay. I am finding I can get everything running but it’s definitely more involved.

No regrets just it did take a few hours. Not sure if it was worth it tbh at this point. lol

If I need to reinstall arch, I’m going to use endeavorOS. The entire time I was setting it up, I was like “why am I doing this?”. I automate everything I can at my job, why am I doing this the old fashion way…

Ubuntu, Pop!_os, KDE… Currently on fedora. It’s been solid. I honestly think I like pop the most but I was having weird gpu issues which haven’t showed up over on fedora.

Yep, I use: https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui and currently am using this model: mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2.

I’m gonna be honest. I never have done that till today. Wow… So much easier. Incredible.
