I recently asked a friend to remove their meta glasses while we were out to eat. It was awkward for a moment but they were understanding, and we had a good talk about privacy and tech after.

Mods can we have a rule against these posts please

It really is just kind of a vibe, isn’t it.

I was taught they are starchy but that was grade school days and I won’t die on this hill. I certainly didn’t mean to imply peas were unhealthy. What I found odd is that they are on opposite ends of the pyramid from “whole grains” which is a carb I would personally say is on about the same level as peas overall.

They stopped using the pyramid a longtime ago, but yeah this one isn’t bad:

As a pile of (mostly) healthy food it’s fine. But as an infographic it completely sucks.

EDIT: It’s interesting they would have frozen peas at the top (mostly empty starch) but whole grains at the bottom (assuming the bottom means “sparingly”). Also red meat and butter should not be a large part of anyone’s daily calories.

I think your URL to the github is a hyperlink back to this post…

I love the description.

Hey everyone, so you just finished setting up the *Arr stack and your dashboards lookin crisp. But you look at your htop and see… unused RAM. It’s disgusting, isn’t it?

I have a feeling most people click the maximum privacy “hide from contacts” option at the start, probably not thinking it through. And that means you wouldn’t be able to see them. You can try searching manually as that sometimes seems to find them.

That said, when I asked people who texted me “do you have Signal?” I think about 50% said yes and the other 50% were able to download it without issue.

I waited years for it, but now that everyone is on Signal it doesn’t excite me.

Nothing wrong with Ubuntu, but it’s interface is definitely geared more towards Mac folks.

My recommendation for someone making the jump to full time Linux is Fedora Kinoite. It’s “immutable” meaning impossible to break, and uses KDE Plasma, which is like the modern Windows you’ve always wanted.

Again nothing wrong with Ubuntu, it’s great and will run on the hardware you mentioned, but if you are someone who wants to tweak settings without fear of breaking something somewhere else, I really recommend Kinoite.

Privacy.com is easy, too.

Yeah that’s probably the simplest way!

Most of my 2025 was Silksong actually, but for only $20 it felt like a patient gamer moment!

Helpful! Thank you I will look into it.

Weird, I don’t have a new AI sidebar and I’m running the latest version.

If they don’t have power, they drop from the network or mesh.

That’s the problem, they don’t drop, the entity remains in a zombie state. Is there really no way to test if a device is still connected or not?

EDIT: Or just manually set an entity to “off”?

Well you’re in luck because the translation feature is local https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/website-translation

Don’t get me wrong I hate LLMs being shoved down our throats, but I think the “Mozilla using AI” stuff is overblown. The few LLM features they’ve implemented are useful and non-intrusive. I actually think it’s a rare example of the tech being used intelligently (no pun intended).

January 6th = normal president stuff apparently
