Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience. - Mark Twain

This could indeed be a samplerate mismatch between applications and os. At least that's a thing in Windows If you want to use 96khz, make sure all the running applications + Linux uses it.

Who are those characters?

Basically Linux .

To work or study at my Univ, you have to give your phone number to Microsoft for the 2fa. They pay shitload of money for Office 365 and they are almist forcing us to use that stupid suite. This year I will give an special course on FOSS alternative to my students. Fuck that bullshit hail corporate.

I was about to ask basically the same question! I'm actually about to make the same move for my home pc, which I mostly use for streaming and gaming. I already gave a try to Fedora on a VM (gotta say this is the nerdiest name out there) , and I was REALLY impress by how simple, smooth and polish this thing is. To the point where I believe 80% of standard users would be better serve by Linux then Windoss or macOS. The univ and college where I work also uses stupid Office365, but I think you can manage most of your requiere interaction with the browser version. I'm gonna keep a Windows partition because audio and video editing isn't quite there yet, and VR doest work, but I mostly use my MacBook (not my choice) for those project so my home PC will probably run Linux 99% of the time, now that gaming works.

Cryptpad looks good, but I need way more space. 25 gb for 10 euro is too expensive for me, for such a small drive. Board is an awesome etherpad, great for short-term collaboration, I actually show it to my students. Thanks!

I'm seriously considering this. Interesting to know adding a GPU would help for video streaming, I have an unsued GTX1060. The only thing preventing me to do this, is that the setup process of rge server look quite complicated. I know it seems simple and obvious for the geek/linus community, but I spent the last evening warltching tutorials on how to do this, and none of them was using the same method and tools, and they all had some networking skills that I dont have. I'm definitely no digital idiot, but playing with network parameters is intimidating. In case something goes wrong, which will probably happen, I would probably get stuck for a while.

Do you know any good tutorials on an easy way to do this? Also, I have 2 computer I could use, which one would you recommend?

• i5 750 (oberclocked to 3.6), 12gb ram, gtx1060
• Macbook pro mid-2012, i7 2.6Ghz, 16gb ram, geforce GT 650m. Both have SSD. My plan would be to attach an external 6tb HD on USB 3.

Cheers and thanks for the help

Looks interesting.

Can you subscribe to the Ksuite pro plan even if you're a single user? They seem to be business focused.

Thank you so much, really helpful. You people are convincing me to set-up linux on my old i5 750.

Actually, I'm avoiding to work with the IT as much as possible. My univ has a contract with Microsoft for the 365 suite so they push us to use that. I'm pretty much the only teacher that cares about privacy and the use of FOSS, so I'm on my own for everything.

I dont completely understand the implication of self-hosting but everything seems to come back to this. Here are a few question I have.

• Could I do it on an old computer running Windows?
• Or could my modern home computer be the server?
• The computer acting as a server would need to be on, and online all the time for me to access the files?
• Would I be able to stream large files (video, audio, etc.) in real-time?
• Would I need to add an SSD if I use the old PC.

Thanks for the help!

The main difference for me is that I feel like I'm part of a global project, not just a product in some big tech's ecosystem.

Question here. If a user suscribed to world wants to keep seing content from that instance, cant he just suscribe to some subs over there? I'm still trying to figure that part out. I'm on ml but can see some content from world.

Maybe start here, and suscribe to the community you like.l: https://lemmyverse.net/

Nice.

I'm surprised by how much of a big deal apps are for the users. I would have kept Jerboa if it was more stable. I got Connect for no specific reason and don't really see a reason to try anything else... I was still using old reddit and an app called Slide, so I guess I'm some removed user or something. Happy that those apps brings more users tho.

Nah, you're not alone. I still lurk from time to time but I dont interact anymore and I'm under the impression the quality is going way down on reddit. Interesting users are leaving the boat. I'm quite happy to be part of the fediverse and I feel like it's definitely more aligned with the future I would like the web to be. My mental health is thanking me for leaving reddit.

I'm on lemmy.ml and have not yet seen a NSFW post on All. Not that I care about it (I really dont use it for porn), but I'm curious why that is? Is it because ml is not feterated why instances where this content is mostly posted?

Seemed like she didn't wanted him to run again, but he is definitely going.

So it's you that gets his news from Facebook . I was wondering who it was.
