They offer it in the EU. They don't force you to choose the subscription, you can also just choose to buy the cartridges at the store outright if you want to. I don't really understand the big hoopla about being offered that choice.

It seems to be autoloading new comments, like in this thread that is long.

Is there a way to turn this off? I don’t like infinite scroll

“And so the Gods (also known as the W3C) spoke down to the Programmers and said: ‘You shall not use tables for non-tabular data.’ And so it was.”

Yeah Synology is pretty good with that kind of stuff (we use one at work). They've really just got a Linux system with custom management tools on top. Of course for DIY purposes, self-building is still cheaper and more flexible though.

Interesting blog!

Clicked on your NAS article (one of the first linked ones) and spotted an error... you write that Synology NAS boxes don't use standard RAID, but they do. They have official docs up on how to hook them up to a standard Linux system for disaster recovery (it's just Btrfs or ext4 on mdadm RAID).

Probably not super relevant for you or most readers, but just thought I'd point it out :)

Ah, but have you heard of our lord and savior, CSS Grid?

Sheriff? Yes, this commenter right here.

I used to be on LP, but they've had so many security breaches they've lost all trust.

You could inherit it

“X's”

I'm not kidding

Aren't they dropping that system soon?

No worries, if you also want to use it on your phone be sure to check out the OsmAnd or Organic Maps app.

Well, it sure sounds like X is delivering users to Mastodon.

Well it's not hard (I have Linux experience), but I'm worried about the time investment to maintain and secure it myself. I'd rather pay someone else to do that for me...

I'm surprised you don't like OSM, in terms of the actual map it's much better for me than GMaps. The only thing I still use GMaps for is to see reviews of restaurants etc.

Not sure about the BSDs, but for Linux you don't actually need GRUB anymore these days. On modern (i.e. UEFI) systems, you can boot the kernel directly as an EFI binary (this is known as EFISTUB booting).

Interesting, any experiences with this? How well does it work?

What do you use for a GDrive alternative?

And for a better GMaps alternative, try OpenStreetMap
