Same. I imagine it’s how most Christians feel about their loudest supporters as well

Very nice UI. Pleasantly surprised (even if I’m staying w/ ansiweather)

One suggestion is to look at getting any useful docker container up and running first to get a feel for it, then pivot towards heavier lifts. Self-hosting emails is going to be a headache as others have said, and monero nodes sounds like it could be a technical as well but that’s admittedly an uneducated guess.

You can look at the recent selfh.st poll for the most popular docker containers, see if any strike your interest and start there.

To those late to the party, you can sample the piper-related voices here so that you’re not in a crapshoot: https://rhasspy.github.io/piper-samples/

Just to clarify, this is standalone and doesn’t need a local LLM or anything yeah? Also, any tips on tutorials for the install process?

Edit: Nevermind, I realize it’s install and use

Might want to link to the official page for a bit more context

Veronica Explains has a good intro video on it if you’re looking for an intro btw.

Just want to reiterate that the IRS get their marching orders from the party in charge which is why they targeted rich people under Biden: The IRS has recovered $1.3 billion from rich American tax dodgers since the fall of 2023 — relieving a painful burden from ‘ordinary citizens’

If thinner, lighter and modern-ness are of interest, I’d say a chrultrabook, but they are more finicky re: swapping out parts. If you are looking for TUI-only, then it can be a sufficient option for a fraction of the price of the competition.

I use it. I think it was a hardening recommendation from lynis IIRC.

I definitely experienced a lot more freezing on my laptop after installing it (it’s a memory hog) so I upped my swap and things are back to normal.

Was just thinking about whether there was an open-source alternative the other day, thanks for sharing.

• Doesn’t have millions to market like the alternatives.
• More technical requirement (historically anyways)
• Much less likely to be the default on hardware (which is what most ppl stick to)

Made the switch as well thanks to the modern key bindings

Prior to switching (upgrading?) to Wayland, Debian KDE crashed under X11 regularly when waking from hibernation and the taskbar would disappear. Restarting the plasma shell made it operable again, so I created an alias and regularly rebooted the DE shell 2-3x a day:

alias damnTaskbar='killall plasmashell ; kstart plasmashell &'

One more vote for Loop Habit Tracker

I get it. I’m a year in and was pulling my hair out dealing w/ frustrating issues for the first few weeks/months. Smooth sailing now, but I don’t deny the learning curves that are possible.

I’m going to continue buying Chromebooks because I can wipe the OS and put Linux on them.

I’m preaching to the choir here on Lemmy but I’m glad that I made the jump to Linux last year

Samesies. What has become increasingly frustrating is that many opt-out emails require me to disable tracker control. It should be illegal to force tracking to avoid future tracking

There’s also cheat as well
