On truenas scale though it's just tiles in a web browser, it's super easy. And since it runs on ZFS backups are easier too. Just click your way through periodic volume snapshot tasks.

Definitely a bit of a learning curve but it's a sleek setup once you understand.

See am I crazy or didn't google say this was a thing coming ages ago?

Also disabling apps. Am I also crazy or did that come and go and only ever work on certain ones? I really do sometimes find it useful to disable apps instead of uninstalling them. When you uninstall you need to configure them all over again when you do the reinstall.

Maybe I'm confused on the KDE connect part, but you can install KDE connect on windows.

Dex is cool, wanted this too, I'd probably make good use of this type of capability on the steam deck instead though.

Used to be like you, then I moved from truenas core to scale where it's now Linux and docker instead of freebsd and iocage jails.

So docker has this concept of persistent volumes. You configure all your settings in the initial setup command (docker compose) and define persistent volumes. This way you don't lose your data.

Here's an example, Plex. I run Plex in docker now. So my config directory is defined as a persistent volume. If I need to update Plex, or rebuild it or whatever, the container just updates and has all the data I need via the persistent volume. If the install is messed up or whatever I just get a newer image and run the docker compose and it fires up and mounts the persistent volume and off I go.

Basically it takes away the burden of having to figure out the OS configuration. Makes backups easier - and smaller. And the things are spun up, installed, and usable in seconds.

Out of curiosity, why not? I've come around.

When I can't middle mouse it right click to open a button in a new tab. It makes it harder to get back to the exact same spot, loaded how it was, to repeat the same task for the next button.

When you're browsing a website and the text and buttons are so large you can see them from the neighbors house.

I use a bigger screen and higher resolution to fit more, not fit the same...

Can only play 2 players at once though right?

I guess I should be working on breaking the DRM and backing up my audible books on a regular basis...

Add it to the list of the other stuff you probably bloc k

😲

Try edge. Are you sure? It's better. Why are you going to google? Did you know bing is better?

And so on and so on. It's gross.

This is probably it haha

Incredible the downvotes you get. It's true. Windows literally spies on you

This is what I do. Truenas scale and backup to ext hard drive and B2

True but dependency hell and maintaining updates for that is a headache I wish not to deal with.

You have to have money to make money. It's just that first step that's the problem...

Johnny Silverhand? Is that you?

Yeah, I also don't like how every vendor is pushing you to their ecosystem. Smart things which you can't get rid of, for example. At least that existed on the s7 😂.

It would be good if your phone gave you the option. Everything is so fragmented in tech

Controversial. I've owned many of the Nexus line and I own the pixel 6 pro. I also rocked an s7 for a while. Samsung definitely does a great job with their UI but I also would like to point out that these issues with pixel are not as common as news points them out to be. I know several people with pixel phones that experienced none of these issues.

My advice is to just prioritize what you want out of your phone. The fact I will always get android updates first and probably the longest os support compared to Samsung and the ease in which I can flash custom ROMs of I wanted to is why I stick with pixel. Samsung definitely had extras I wish Google would bake into stock android though.
