Hmmmm. Just when I posted about Organic Maps on Lemmy. Coincidence?
**Here's your reality check diva - what's the name you'd like me to make it out to? **- fucking loved that
Also: I am in the process if switching to affinity to stick it to fucking adobe.
Gotta say, so far I'm liking it a lot. All 3 of them are like 90$. I'm currently on a 180 day free trial.
Oh damn - I feel. I carry a reviOS laptop between my two Linux workstations for affinity and a some other proprietary software.
Been thinking about just having a LAN only mini PC that can access my a NAS with the files on it ... WAIT - I could VM that shit. Hmmmmm that might work.
Disappointing as always : ( no shop no finity - fusion fucking sucks anyways
I do that too.
- Its not like people are gonna steal book
- the password crackin people are not the breakin people
After a few days of use - as a cyclist - I only have one note. I'm missing the cycling style option from OSM. That's a real game changer right there.
Not sure - but you contribute stuff pretty easily. I already added a few of my favorite places in my town
Word. That's one of the things where osm gets smashed by this app
Organic Maps is the best open source Maps App I've ever tried
It's essentially an open source fork of maps.me by the original creators.
I've been using OSMAnd for years, but it always felt laggy and not that reliable. Searching was slow and so on. Many street or things it didn't instantly find.
In the Graphene App Store I jnust discovered Accrescent (another app store thing but only with like 10 apps - they're all gold though, god damn)
An in there I found organic maps. And this shit is google maps level responsive. If you're on the lookout for a google maps replacement - consider trying this.
Byeeee
That slowly unrolling lettuce banner is one of the funniest fucking things ever
Old Lacie 4big a good idea?
There's someone who'd sell me an old lacie 4big raid for 60$. I think it looks kinda cool and would be handy to connect 4HDDs to my small computer - are there any doubts from such an "old" raid? I would be using new disks ofc. The thing came out in 2009 and has USB 3.0 and esata
Looking for a Mac OS9 style desktop environment
Hi I'm looking for a retro style desktop environment (or maybe just some skin or something) for my Debian workstation. Preferably something that looks like Mac OS 9.
Old microserver bad idea?
I'm thinking of picking up an old HP Microserver (gen8) and was wondering if it is a bad idea from a security standpoint.
I mean it's only 10 years old - is there any exploit or something like that?
What about a N36L Microserver?
I'd probably run Debian headless on it.
I'd only use it for Syncthing and as a backup NAS.
UPDATE
Everybody made really good arguments against the microserver and I won't be getting one. Thank you for your inputs
Open Source Server Overview App
Serverbox Github Link
Looking for a convenient overview of your servers?
Randomly found this app on F-Droid and I am blown away.
It fetches the server stats, even drive usage and makes it super easy to open an sftp browser or even a ssh console if you quickly need to.
deep recommendation
Firefox Docker + VPN is so awesome
I've been using the Firefox docker container through the gluetun docker container (runs great with proton and mullvad) and it's been really great.
To me it's kind of like a less restricted tor browser, for when you need something stronger in terms of speed or IP blocking. And maybe something more persistent.
And it always stays open even when you close your connection.
Some of my use cases are:
-
Anonymously downloading larger files through the clearnet.
-
Anonymous ChatGPT usage.
-
Manually looking for torrent magnet links (though I usually do that with the tor browser)
-
Accessing shadow libraries
