What are some things that Linux can't do, but Windows can?
  • Rizoid Rizoid Now 100%

    On my Microsoft Surface laptop I had a horrible experience with sleep and wake on close and open with windows. More than half the time it wouldn't wake up on its own and I would have to either have an external keyboard or just turn it off. Currently that same laptop is running opensuse tumbleweed and wake and sleep on close and open works about 85 percent of the time. It isn't perfect still but it's way better than windows was.

    What do you mean? I watched dunkey's weird video and I still don't understand. Hoopla is digital content from library's, free and available for anyone. I'm confused as to this standpoint you have.

    I've had similar issues with TrueNAS over the years. My solution was always to just remake the container but that is a hassle. I did that probably 3 or 4 times while I used TrueNAS which eventually led to me switching to a standard Ubuntu server install.

    They should have gone with a common design for all the logos. I main tumbleweed and I think this is dumb and confusing to potential newcomers to openSUSE's distros.

  • Is there a timeline or anything for upgrading the instance to 0.19? The scaled sort and user level instance filters are really nice.

    Preemptive defeding I think is bad. You can't convince people to move to better options if you never have a chance to interact with them in the first place. Obviously there may be reason to defed in the future but to do it prematurely is a mistake that will isolate the fediverse in a way that is uninviting to new people unfamiliar with the space.

  • Where can I find audiobooks?

    Mobilism has been a go to for me. Someone recommended it here a while back. Its far from perfect but I only grab an audio book maybe a few times a year so it works for me.

    I've said this before and I think it needs repeating. Filoni is making better stuff than Disney did, and besides, the originals weren't as good as nostalgia thinks they are. Filoni's stuff is on par with the originals and like the originals its a great time for families and kids.

  • What's the point on hosting RSS reader's?
  • Rizoid Rizoid Now 100%

    After years of using Feeder on my phone and some other random stuff on my laptop, I switched to FreshRSS on my server and the big thing is everything stays synced. My read and stared articles are all where they should be. I run fluent reader on all my devices and tailscale keeps me always connected to my reader so I can save articles on my phone when I don't have time to read them then read them when I get home on my laptop or tablet.

  • Apps that shouldn't be Subscriptions

    I myself switched to Audiobookshelf. I initially set it up for my wife to have her audio books while traveling but I found it does podcasts and normal epub books really well also.

  • Apps that shouldn't be Subscriptions
  • Rizoid Rizoid Now 100%

    I was one of those old purchasers. There was a huge uproar on the subreddit back in the day cause they said everyone who purchased the app before the subscription model would only get like 1 or 2 years of subscription access instead of lifetime. People got so pissed they changed it to lifetime.

    I think what Apple has done with their M series of chips is actually incredible and very interesting. However actually purchasing their hardware is just out of the question when I'm just going to run a Linux distro on whatever I purchase.

  • How many of you actually use the headphone jack on your phone?
  • Rizoid Rizoid Now 66%

    A few years ago I would have said every day, but I got a really good pair of Bluetooth Bose headphones that have wireless charging so I don't have to worry about anything anymore. After work they get put on a charging pad then in the morning I grab them and they're ready to go.

  • I've looked at a few on fdroid and they all seem like they aren't being maintained anymore. Edit: I've spent the past day trying most all of the suggested keyboards here and I think I've landed on either Unexpected Keyboard or AnySoftKeyboard. Thanks for all the suggestions. Thumbkey is quite the thing to get used to.

    This type of shit with Amazon is partly what made me switch to just using audiobookshelf. It supports ebooks and podcasts as well as audiobooks and is all self hosted. It's a high recommend for anyone who has a bunch of digital books like myself. I just have an old tablet instead of a kindle.

    I use a GPU but that's only because my CPU is a first gen ryzen with no graphics. I highly recommend any recent Intel CPU that supports quick sync. You'll have an easier time and pull way less power. i7 might even be a bit much honestly I'd look at i3's or even celerons. They're easily capable of what you want but you can always get something better just for future use.

  • I have transmission running on my server in a docker container that is supposed to go through gluetun. If I run test with ipleak and other torrent ip testers it shows my vpn's ip address. However transmission is running way faster download speeds than deluge or qbit were with the same configuration. It makes me wonder if all the traffic isn't going through the vpn somehow and I can't think of any other way to check things other than ipleak tests. I'm probably being over paranoid but a few months ago qbit leaked and I got a letter from my isp. I really don't need that happening again. Any help would be appreciated.

    Is there any good sites for audiobooks that aren't behind private trackers? I have a great set up with normal ebooks but my wife's job has here driving for multiple hours a day so she wants audiobooks and I can't seem to find any consistent sites.

    Is there a way to make sync show the avatar of all users, on posts and comments? A few other apps have this so I'm not sure if I'm just missing a setting somewhere or if it isn't implemented.
