Using self hosted SearXNG as well. If you have docker running already it's a snap to setup.

Also, you need to have not purchased a subscription, otherwise it doesn't show up.

Bought the one month sub to tide me over, but bought the Ad free as soon as it released. Honestly, cost me less than half of a decent steak dinner so I ain't mad. A man's gotta eat and there is no guarantee that Lemmy is ever gonna pull Reddit numbers. Dude basically spent a month blasting out what I consider the best experience for Reddit, now for Lemmy, he deserves a pay day.

Latter

Had a college buddy Christopher, we just called him Stopher.

Can you not see the remove Ads option if you already subbed to Ultra? I have looked and looked but for the life of me can't figure out how to give you my money.

Edit: I did the reset subscription locally (for debugging option) and the remove Ads button popped up. Thanks!

Was just describing this to family today. I don't know how many times I started to comment on Reddit, only to discard it because I didn't want to deal with the Reddit brain. Lemmy feels like old school Reddit where engagement is good again.

Just a couple of issues I have, otherwise great and already subbed.

1. Creating or editing a comment does not follow text size changes for comments (it does once it's posted)
2. Post text and title size (once viewing the full post) cannot be resized
3. When viewing profile comments there is no indicator of what sub section I'm viewing (ex: comments, posts etc).

Edit: Found 1 and 2 can be effected by the general font size.

Also depends on what model was used, prompt, strength of prompt etc.

No news here, just someone who doesn't know how to use AI generation.

You should check out the book "Jesus and John Wayne".

It's a great book that describes the changing history of how evangelicals have interacted in politics for about the past 100 years. Worth the read.

Depends at what level in IT. Definitely lessens as you go up. I remember being a grunt and working 50 hour weeks and being oncall, scared to leave my house for fear I would get called. Now after 20 years of experience I only get called in when stuff is REALLY broken and have a lot more free time to better myself. I use down time to learn new skills or work in my homelab.

It's more about the devices they use it on and the reliability. Sony TV, iPhone, android, Chromecast etc.

I've got some inlaws that use my Plex, the device coverage really can't be beat. Would consider Jellyfin if I didn't have old people requirements.

What area if I can ask? I'm in the Midwest.

This, thanks. I just use Steam link though, works good for my needs.

*nix systems are not immune to needing reboots after updates. I work as an escalation engineer for an IT support firm and our support teams that do *nix updates without reboots have DEFINATELY been the cause of some hard to find issues. We'll often review environment changes first thing during an engagement only to fix the issue to find that it was from some update change 3 months ago where the team never rebooted to validate the new config was good. Not gonna argue that in general its more stable and usually requires less reboots, but its certainly not the answer to every Windows pitfall.

Haven't used windows in a while huh?

Edit: Just to clarify, I run ALOT of operating systems in my lab; RHEL, Debian, Ubuntu (several LTS flavors), TruNAS, Unraid, RancherOS, ESXi, Windows 2003 thru 2022, Windows 10, Windows 11.

My latest headless Steam box with Windows 11 based on a AMD 5600g basically reboots about as fast as I can retype my password in RDP.

Search - SearXNG - Has the option to self-host but is an aggregated search engine. Respects privacy, lots of configurable search engines.

Browser - Firefox - Really enjoying the mobile version with addon support.

Maps - OsmAnd~ - Honestly not as good as maps, but fits the bill.

Preach!
