  • This is what I need.

    If you only need to drop files on the same LAN, then you really don't need a server. P2P is perfect and cuts out the middle man.

  • Sorry, I think options like Firefly III for that might not be sufficient for small business, but it was the only great Foss personal finance software for a long time.

    Odoo is the gold standard for business. I think they also have a business finance app? It isn't free, but the cost is reasonable.

    Otherwise, I use Leantime for project management. If you work in a project-based or contract-based company (like consultancy or design house), then it has a lot of project & product features including time tracking with a plugin. Not financial though.

    If I donated $5 per month to each of these projects I would be broke 😂

  • Lol league was extremely toxic in 2010 when streaming wasn't a thing. I got sucked in and became toxic in 2011-2012 before I quit altogether. Best decision I ever made regarding video games.

    It is the player base, not the streamers, that ruin the game.

    But maybe this will help a little bit.

  • Here in Belgium we have cryptographically signed tokens on our legally mandated IDs.

    You can use that token to do all sorts of things (my company uses them as authorship signatures for our quality system for medical devices), but if we had some standard like that, then we could have some software that would have a OTP based on that that is a huge list of valid OTPs in a website API or so, not linked to the token itself. (So you would have to trust this software that generates the OTP). You will get people using the same OTP, but that wouldn't matter because it would just be a validity check. Lind of like the old product key generators for games.

    Sure this could be abused or gotten around by a programmer or hack, but for 95% of the population it would be effective age verification without giving away any information or statistics. Sure, people could also abuse it and save a code and use it constantly, but then they would already have been verified. Sharing a code around would also happen with teens, but it would be far more effective than not, especially for the low stakes of age verification.

  • Hibernation doesn't work at all on my windows HP work laptop. Sleep has gotten way way better on Linux in the past 2 years even. My desktop that would be buggy going in and out of sleep has now been flawless such that I auto sleep it after 30 minutes.

    Battery life on Linux still sucks though.

  • Literally the 2nd post on !tech@programming.dev is about mega corporations financials. Many other posts are about legal cases of megacorporations.

    It seems to be less about technology, and more about the market and software drama/politics.

    At least no musk spam.

  • What? MX Linux is a Debian remix in the style of antiX I thought?

  • Those trackpads better have damn good palm reject because getting to those thumbsticks without brushing the trackpads will be impossible for many people.

  • Isn't drake a pedophile? Last I heard was a big commotion because he had abused underage teenagers or something.

    And now everyone seems to be back to liking him? I can't keep up.

  • Stacked partisan right wing judges, hand selected to put right wing optics over the actual law is what can happen, and what Mitch McConnell has been busy with for decades.

  • Not OP, but maybe because it is a survey from a Linux group and discord has treated Linux like 2nd class citizens since 2015 and they don't give a flying fuck about making the experience as good on Linux as windows. It is an afterthought.

    And it is not like they did anything special at all this year to warrant a "of the year" award. Discord has been out for almost a decade. That is like saying windows is OS of the year when they have done almost nothing but bad decisions this year and the OS is already been out for a long time.

  • Nice try FBI.

    In all seriousness, matrix encrypted chat would be better.

  • GPU advances have also gone way way down.

    For many years, YoY GPU increases lead to node shrinkages, and (if we simplify it to the top tier card) huge performance gains with slightly more power usage. The last 4-5 generations have seen the exact opposite: huge power increases closely scaling with performance increases. That is literally stagnation. Also they are literally reaching the limit of node shrinkage with current silicon technology which is leading to larger dies and way more heat to try to get even close to the same generational performance gain.

    Luckily they found other uses for uses GPU acceleration. Just because there is an increase in demand for a new usecase does not, in any way, mean that the development of the device itself is still moving at the same pace.

    That's like saying that a leg of a chair is reaching new heights of technological advancement because they used the same chair leg to be the leg of a table also.

    It is a similar story of memory. They are literally just packing more dies in a PCB or layering PCBs outside of a couple niche ultra-expensive processes made for data centers.

    My original comment was also correct. There is a reason why >10 year old MCUs are still used in embedded devices today. That doesn't mean that it can't still be exciting finding new novel uses for the same technology.

    Again, stagnation ≠ bad

    The area that electronics technology has really progressed quite a bit is Signal Integrity and EMC. The things we know now and can measure now are pretty crazy and enable the ultra high frequency and high data rates that come out in the new standards.

    This is not about pro gamer upgrades. This is about the electronics (silicon based) industry (I am an electronics engineer) as a whole

  • It has absolutely stagnated. Earlier transistors were becoming literally twice as dense every 2 years. Clock speeds were doubling every few years.

    Year 2000, first 1GHz, single core CPU was released by nvidia.

    2010 the Intel core series came out. I7 4 cores clocked up to 3.33GHz. Now, 14 years later we have sometimes 5GHz (not even double) and just shove more cores in there.

    What you said "it's just that you don't need to upgrade anymore" is quite literally stagnation. If it was a linear growth path from 1990 until now, every 3-5 years, your computer would be so obsolete that you couldn't functionally run newer programs on them. Now computers can be completely functional and useful 8-10+ years later.

    However. Stagnation isn't bad at all. It always open source and community projects with fewer resources to catch up and prevents a shit ton of e-waste. The whole capitalistic growth growth growth at any cost is not ever sustainable. I think computers now, while less exciting have become much more versatile tools because of stagnation.

  • Also in UT1999 right? It sits in my memory, but all my friends only played ut1999 until like 2012 lol.

  • Well it is literally not going as fast.

    The rate of "technology" (most people mean electronics) advancement was because there was a ton of really big innovations at in a small time: cheap PCBs, video games, internet, applicable fiber optics, wireless tech, bio-sensing, etc...

    Now, all of the breakthrough inventions in electronics have been done (except chemical sensing without needing refillable buffer or reactive materials), Moore's law is completely non-relevant, and there are a ton of very very small incremental updates.

    Electronics advancements have largely stagnated. MCUs used 10 years ago are still viable today, which was absolutely not the case 10 years ago, as an example. Pretty much everything involving silicon is this way. Even quantum computing and supercooled computing advancements have slowed way down.

    The open source software and hardware space has made giant leaps in the past 5 years as people now are trying to get out from the thumb of corporate profits. Smart homes have come a very long way in the last 5 years, but that is very niche. Sodium ion batteries also got released which will have a massive, mostly invisible effect in the next decade.

  • Better compared to the MK4S price since you get the enclosure with it.

    That being said, definitely high compared to bambu, but that is also because bambu takes advantage of much lower labor, operating, and land costs in china. It is quite normal for EU-designed and certainly EU manufactured products to be more expensive.

  • I always seed the big ones, but sadly, rolling release distros outside of Arch and smaller distros have abandoned torrents because they change snapshots too frequently and/or don't have the user mass to support it.
