Or Craigslist/Facebook marketplace/wherever your town congregates to. My town almost exclusively uses Facebook so I’ll log in long enough to post items when upgrading and usually am not the only one offering pretty cheap used gear there.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•All this produce is going to spoil at the food bank where I volunteerEnglish
71·1 year agoFor the tomatoes you might see if there’s canning groups on Facebook for your area? It takes a metric fuck-ton of tomatoes to make a can of sauce so they’d likely be able to use quite a bit of them.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Multi system synced/living OS possible?English
2·2 years agoThis might be overkill but I run an xrdp and just remote into it from any device. Tablet phone laptop etc with an rdp app. If you need it on the go you would also want something like tailscale or WireGuard as a vpn to access the computer while away from home

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•A scammer just tried to scam the Kroger pharmacy to get my info out of them by pretending to be my insurance company.English
28·2 years agoOne of the best anti-scam advice I was ever given was to always call the number I knew was valid like the one on my insurance card in this instance and verify that way.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Goodwill is out of controlEnglish
4·2 years agoThe goodwill near me wants $21 for a pair of jeans that are very obviously used and fairly thin. A thicker pair of jeans is $15.99 at the Walmart 3 miles down the road…
Mines at least that as well, it’s good to know come next ups purchase as I would hate to get stuck with that kind of garbage. I’ll have to pay close attention to the battery now when searching
My apc unit has a standard battery that has a replacement from Duracell, which model(s) have proprietary batteries?

Technology@lemmy.ml•Denmark takes historic turn and unveils nuclear power engine: There have only been 4 in history
221·2 years agoThese advanced reactors are safe, efficient and ‘leaner’ than the first and second generations of nuclear power technology. Of course, you already know that this source is neither renewable nor clean, which is not a good idea, according to what we think.
These authors don’t sound like they have a very good grasp of the tech they’re “reviewing”…

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•I'm at a loss on what server to buyEnglish
3·2 years agoYou can look at things like
https://www.newegg.com/tools/custom-pc-builder
To see some ideas of what would work, and I hope you feel free to ask around as you look at things! We all had to learn somehow and once you know what you’re looking for it’s just a small puzzle.
Quick suggestion is to decide on the cpu (I’m partial to amd so I’d pick something ryzen based if you want processing power) first then compatible motherboard, as after those two you should be able to just look at spec sheets and see things like the kind of ram you need case type etc.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•I'm at a loss on what server to buyEnglish
6·2 years agoI think this is a fine community, but as a question, is there a reason you aren’t considering building a server? You could fit those requirements into a normal desktop chassis and likely still have some pci slots free for future upgrades.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Immich relies on a third-party service that seems shady to meEnglish
34·2 years agoI don’t use Immich, but if you open a feature request I’d suggest asking for open street maps, which offers a self hosted tile service https://www.maptiler.com/server/

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•[Solved] New Network Stack with an Unknown Issue..? English
1·2 years agoWhatever you are using that provides the brains of the network (like dhcp) in your setup probably the router or controller? I’ve never needed to move past an all in one but it seems like an intermittent routing issue. Have you u checked device logs to see if part of your network equipment is crashing or rebooting during these outages?

1·2 years agoThe only thing I see linking those devices are loosely speaking being Linux based.
Does the local connection work? Or are you unable to ping other devices on the lan?
I would guess it’s a switch issue assuming they can’t talk on the lan to each other.

2·2 years agoFor sure take the case if it’s affordable! It’ll look much nicer afterwards too

29·2 years agoJB weld epoxy might be a good choice if you either don’t plan on replacing the screen again, or to recreate the holes and patch the cracks if you pull it all the way apart again. I did it to the back of a tv when the vesa screw mounts ripped and it held for another 5 years.

8·2 years agoWhich games do that? Running pasthrough gpu on windows for destiny and halo at least gave me 0 issues for years

As in ready to go phones? Not really no. There are Linux phones like the pine phone, but they are not really ready for prime time in any way.
sailfish os says its Linux based and supports android abi 33, but they’re Europe only. I’ve not heard much about them other than they support old Sony Xperia phones so can’t really comment if they’re more usable than the pinephone.
