Mint mobile
  • I do. It's been an upgrade for my family in Southern New Hampshire. I'm not sure what happened but for the longest time Verizon had the "best" coverage. By that I mean not atrocious; every other carrier was awful. Something changed coincident with their 5G rollout, Verizon coverage significantly declined. We switched to Mint and we couldn't be happier. My family is on wifi the majority of the time so we can roll with their smallest plans. We probably cut our bill down to 2/3 of what it was.

    One hint, if you travel internationally, don't use Mint's international roaming credits. It doesn't work a lot of time. Buy local ESIM coverage. There are apps for that.

    What do you use to actually manage your stuff?
  • Plex for streaming Movies / TV / Music Radarr / Sonarr / Lidarr + Prowlarr I use calibre to manage my ebook library and calibre-web to serve it haugene/transmission-openvpn + a VPN

  • I have thirty fountain pens of varying value...
  • I have a lot of other pens, but I almost always prefer to use my Pelikan M400. It's the perfect size for me and it is as smooth as butter. It is my daily driver.

  • Nicotine Plus - Graphical Client For The Soulseek Peer-To-Peer Network For Music & Files
  • My basic point stands. It's a shame because the network would be even better if folks could run 24/7 servers easily, like people do with torrents.

  • Nicotine Plus - Graphical Client For The Soulseek Peer-To-Peer Network For Music & Files
  • Soulseek is great although it absolutely requires port forwarding to share files. It's also very much a "desktop" app and I don't think much investment has been made for it to be a solid, containerized server app. Everything I have explored on that front has been very janky.

  • This conflict has unique characteristics and will rewrite some "rules" for modern war.

  • Deciding between Kubernetes or Docker Swarm
  • K8s all the way. That's the general consensus in the industry. Swarm is not popular in comparison. My company sells a product in two flavors, SaaS and On Prem. Both run on K8s. We supply Helm charts and whatnot for On Prem installations (including in private cloud). There is good demand for K8s skill in the labor market.

  • What's your grail pen?
  • Tough one. I really love my everyday pen, a Pelikan M400 in tortoise brown. Grail, maybe a Visconti Homo Sapiens Bronze Age.

  • Google is getting a lot worse because of the Reddit blackouts
  • Seems nice based on my trial but they are really pushing the envelope on my price tolerance.

  • YouTube tests blocking videos unless you disable ad blockers
  • Advertising clearly does work on the whole or who would companies spend so much gold on it? Advertising shits in your head. It subtly influences consumers and advertisers have become quite sophisticated about it. There is a glut of advertising space available now so we see awful and ineffective ads but be assured a lot of the bigger players know what they are doing. This is why I block all ads. Well for that reason plus they are annoying as hell.

  • Reddit communities with millions of followers plan to extend the blackout indefinitely
  • It’s kind of famous for some stupidly bad questions & answers.

  • Redditors, how do you like Lemmy?
  • Im liking Lemmy so far. It’s an adjustment and clearly the software is in its infancy, but it does not suck once one adjusts.

  • My 148TB monstrosity
  • haha

  • Deleting Facebook Photos

    Hey Privacy Community, all of the reddit craziness let me to discover Redact which really led me down a rabbit hole of deleting lots of old posts... everywhere.

    Unsurprisingly, Facebook is a problem. Redact deleted lots of content for me, great, but I still have a lot of photos in my "Mobile Uploads" folder. It's not possible to delete this folder. Their Help pages say I should be be able to delete individual photos, but I promise you, that's not an option in my UI. Am I missing something? I'd appreciate any tips!
