    I understand that, I'm very aware that my reaction is emotional and subjective. I'm just sick of reading that sentence over and over and over again.

    I totally agree with you. I just hate all of these "don't have kids" arguments from liberal people. It's not a viable solution, because the fascists and the idiots are gong to have kids. We need at least some sane people to continue on.

    But the is all emotional and subjective, I'll admit that. I'm not really thinking about this topic with a clear head anymore.

    And what then, the human race just dies out? I get the pessimistic feeling, but we may very well be the only sapient species in this galaxy. It would be such a waste to just give up and perish because of momentary hardships.

    We are literally sapient stardust, and I'm certainly not going to give up and throw away the efforts and struggles on millions of ancestors just because of some current corporate greed and fascism is in fashion.

  • Question regarding android phones

    As others have stated, grapheneOS is a good choice, and it's extremely secure.

    Another option is murena' eOS. If you live in Europe, thier store sells phones with the OS preinstalled, and if you don't, the easy installer app works pretty well with most models.

    But fair warning, I recently installed eOS on my wife's old Samsung S7, and I ended up having to do the installation manually with adb (command line tools). So read up on the phone you want to use, some are easier than others.

    The operating system itself is great, and allows for anonymous usage of the play store (free stuff only of course) as well as F-Droid out of the box. You can also add your Google account to get full play store functionality, but then Google starts getting your info again, albeit less than with standard android.

    In Other Waters. Wonderful atmospheric indie with minimalist visual style and a wonderful chill soundtrack. It's beautiful and relaxing, but never boring.

    Reddit pereon here. After over a year (I think, didn't check) on Lemmy I still don't understand the details about how works. I'm pretty busy, and it works to get me my news and such, so it wasn't important to understand how it does so.

    But now I'm inspired, thanks for that. I will look into changing servers, finding something that better fits my interests and such. I may even perhaps learn something in the process. Keeping the network decentralized is important, and I can do my part.

    I use two Ecoflow batteries, a smaller 2kAh model and a 4kAh one. I have solar panels on my Garage roof, the big battery lives there. I charge bike batteries directly with the big battery, and use the big one to charge the small one for use in the house.

    The setup is expensive overall, but the results are great. The batteries have USB C that can charge laptops and other devices, and the AC outlets are powerful enough for the vaccum cleaner, coffee machine, basically everything in the house that can be plugged into an outlet other than some power tools.

    Edit: Actually I haven't installed the panels yet, I've been too busy. When I first posted it seemed like an unimportant detail, but yeah, no. I have been using the little battery for about 18months already with a smaller portable panel that moves around the yard to get the best sunlight, so the details about using the batteries are true. But I'm still unsure how to charge one battery with the other. The AC outlets will work for this, but the conversion losses are a problem, and I'm looking into how to do DC transfer.

    It's an amazing tool.

    For your comics list, I'd suggest Dataview, quickadd, and templater plugins. With those three you could easily make a database with an entry mask, that automatically sorts the files into folders and sets metadata based on the mask input, and dynamically creates various tables for reference.

    Folder notes could be useful too, depending how you want to set it up, and how detailed you want to have your tables.

    Whatever you decide on, good luck. :)

    This program rocks for any sort of organization.

    https://obsidian.md/

    Markdown files in folders, with all sorts of plugins for tweaking it to your use case.

    But beware, Obsidian is full of rabbit holes. Don't get distracted by shiny plugins that you don't actually need.

    Another reason to check out eOS. F-Droid is a standard source for the default app store, along with the usual play store apps. I just got a Fairphone 5 last week, an installed eOS. I'm loving it so far.

    Am I understanding this correctly, that this is pure hardware without any BIOS installed?

    It surely seems interesting as a home server, or some sort of DUI mini PC with a 3D-printed case and such.

    Flatpak Help Needed

    Hi all! I'm trying to use a local LLM to help me write in an Obsidian.md vault. The local LLM is running through a flatpak called GTP4ALL, which states that it can expose the model through an OpenAI server. The obsidian.md plugin can't reach the LLM on the specified port, so I'm wondering if the flatpak settings need to be changed to allow this. (This is all on bazzite, so the obsidian program is a flatpak too) Anyone have an idea where to start?

    I'm setting up a backup if an external hard drive to my pcloud, and I have come across the following issue. I need the help of this awesome community. I used to run arch on my laptop, and I set up a backup of a usb hard drive to my pcloud storage. This was extremely convenient, because all I had to do was occasionally connect the drive, start the backup service, and that's it. Any changes to the drive would automatically be backed up in the cloud. Now I've switched to bazzite,and the pcloud doesn't recognize the external drive as the same device anymore because the path has changed. It treats the drive as a part of the "new" laptop. Does anyone have any idea how I could get around this? I don't mind starting from scratch again, I just want to find a way to avoid this in the future. Note: I understand that I could just get a raspberry pi or something similar to act as a new dedicated "pcloud backup device" or something like that. I'm looking first for a solution that would work in the case of a new linux PC veing used in the future to do this same job and not loose the connection. Edit: I think it would be enough to change the name of the PC, either just for the (pcloud) flatpak or the whole PC.

    I've got a really fun run going here, with a blooming staff of Blast Wave and platemail of camouflage. Normally those enchantments are not the best, but the combination of knockback, creating grass, and Invisibility when trampling is both tactically amazing and enormous fun. But which ring should I use? I can't seem to decide. I have some SoU's, so whatever ring I use, I'll probably upgrade it to +3.

    KDE + Gnome on Atomic Fedora

    I need some help here from the experts. Some background below, but here's the question: Can I run KDE and Gnome on bazzite? How can I install and manage multiple images? I feel silly asking this, but I'm just not finding the correct documentation. Background: I have been running KDE desktop Bazzite on my PC for a while now, and I'm loving the robust and easy system (not to mention the ease of gaming). But I have found that one program just doesn't work correctly, and I had a game (Stellaris) freeze my system several times. I ended up installing EndeavorOS on an older PC to experiment, and found out that the program in question (openAndroidInstaller) requires a Gnome portal to access my hardware. (Long live the Terminal!) Now I suspect that perhaps the game freeze wouldn't happen with Gnome either. So I want to have both on bazzite, but can't figure it out.

    Tiff was such a fun run! A found a +3 leather armor early, which I was able to enchant with stone glyph (coverts evasion into damage reduction). This combined with the freerunner evasion abilities was incredibly effective at reducing damage overall. The rings of haste and fervor were also a great find, because speed is life for the freerunner. I was so fast that I was occasionally one-hitting enemies before they even woke up! Never experienced that before. Finally, the kinetic katana. I was able to save all my SoUs until I found the katana next to the troll blacksmith (found some +2 weapons that did OK until then), and I poured everything I had into it. It was at +9 by the dwarves, and boy did that feel good. I’ve been playing less to win and more to try interesting builds lately, but this one was an easy ascension. And man was he fast!
