Paying for OSS documentation

Jump

  • That sounds like a student project if I've ever heard one... What's the FOSS project?

    • Starting from zero

    Jump

  • My first step was Nextcloud as a snap on a Xubuntu desktop. Very old hardware but a big hard drive.

    That was eight years ago. I'll let you know if it fails anytime soon.

    I have a bunch of other stuff now, but that was the start, and I still use it all the time!

    • Do you often hear the ringing of switching power supplies and devices when you are in a quiet space?

    Jump

  • Yup! It fades it out really quick, but it comes back within minutes. My tinnitus has gotten a lot better lately.

    • Affordable Android Excellence: Best Smartphones Under $200 in 2024

    Jump

  • Looks at my Mode one Retro ii Tiny? Check! All day battery? Check! 200$? Check! Do I get called "flip phone" now? Big check!

    • What fediverse community do you wish existed?

    Jump

    • Do you often hear the ringing of switching power supplies and devices when you are in a quiet space?

    Jump

  • My Dell does that! If I load a large image, 'squeal'! Bought it used though, and anytime someone sells something, there's a reason they're selling it.

    • What fediverse community do you wish existed?

    Jump

  • Awooo Awoooo?

    The one with the howling puppies. It's the only thing I miss from Reddit. Not the one with the weird anime girl, the puppies one.

  • It's funny, I had a horrible toxic job for way longer than any sane person should ever have to deal with, and one aspect of it was dangerous noise levels. We complained, and the company always sent "independent" inspectors who always found that the noise levels were juuuust inside the legal safe limit. Even when they added enough equipment to double the volume! Funny that... Anyways, I am now over six months gone from that job, and I just realized that my tinnitus is way better than it was! Ditto my mental health... Now I just need a winning lottery ticket or a not-soul-sucking job...

    • Do you often hear the ringing of switching power supplies and devices when you are in a quiet space?

    Jump

  • I have tinnitus and it sounds just like power supplies, except it comes from nowhere. So, when I hear the squeal, I turn my head. If the squeal noise follows the movement of my head, tinnitus. If it stays put, power supply!

    It's like skunk and pot! (I'm in Canada, it's legal and everywhere.) If I smell it, I look around. If I see a burrow, skunk! If I see a dozy looking dude with red eyes...

    • What is the most on-the-nose or strangely objective name that you have heard?

    Jump

  • I used to work in a call center and had a notably irate customer named Mrs. Bitschy. I tried pronouncing it like "Beeshy", and she immediately snapped "It's Bitchy! Got a problem with that!?" Oof.

    • Who, in your opinion, is the most annoying character in any game?

    Jump

  • Handler. Everyone's shovelling coal into the furnace to keep from freezing to death, she's making roasted yams, and then eats them in front of everyone who is collapsed from exhaustion.

    Everytime I kill the monster, she's like, "Yay! We did it!"

    • I've recently turned 20. What highly specific advice you, lemmy users, would offer me?

    Jump

  • Save 15%. Even if it absolutely sucks to do so. If you have to dip in to the 15%, it better be for life or death. Skip meals to save that 15%.

    1$ saved at 20 is like 20$ saved at 40.

    Also, don't cash advance from a credit card, ever, for any reason. I once bought a 6$ taco at age 18 on cash advance, and once I finally cleared it off, that taco had cost me almost 500$. I did the math.

    • What is your lemmy superpower?

    Jump

  • Mine is misreading usernames and thinking someone who posted this was an insane carp or cod.

    • If you were to suddenly come into possession of 12+ enterprise-grade SAS hard drives, how would you go about incorporating them into your homelab?

    Jump

  • Me too! Are you me? Oh no, I've finally lost it... I'm talking to myself.

    • If you were to suddenly come into possession of 12+ enterprise-grade SAS hard drives, how would you go about incorporating them into your homelab?

    Jump

  • Yup! Definitely.

    • If you were to suddenly come into possession of 12+ enterprise-grade SAS hard drives, how would you go about incorporating them into your homelab?

    Jump

  • Wait... New answer! I'd give them to the first guy who replied to me on Lemmy! He would be very appreciative.

  • I would haunt eBay for an old file bay, such as an HP Proliant or a NetApp, then get an HBA card, and hope there is a spot in my house that isn't going to be bothered by the noise. There's a seller called theartofserver on eBay that repurposes old enterprise grade stuff for self hosting use, and I got a card that connected a NetApp file bay to my old 4th gen gaming rig, and that's where all my files live now. I've lost a few drives over the years, but no files.

    • Use work laptop as personal device by dual booting on a separate internal drive?

    Jump

  • I had a work laptop and did the "external USB" thing. One day, at work, I'm messing with my Linux on a public wifi, having unplugged from the corporate LAN.

    A co-worker walks by, sees the Network cord unplugged, plugs it in. I am oblivious in the washroom.

    Corporate security got to my laptop before I did.

    I didn't get fired.

    I don't work there anymore, though.

    • I need help getting EverQuest running reliably

    Jump

  • Weirdly, I installed Project 99 recently from Lutris. Ran like a dream, no issues. I'm on Fedora 39 on a Ryzen/RTX machine.

    • Calgary today at -196

    Jump

  • It is unseasonably warm in Calgary at the moment. That was last week!
