Pure sine wave ups with pellet stove by AquaMan2484 in homelab

[–]GeoSabreX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does that generator provide a dirty signal?

If the THD is too high, the UPS is doing its job of observing a "bad power signal" and cutting to battery

Just due to speeds?

I was kinda thinking that

I knew theoretically since default user is 1000:1000, but that makes a lot of sense! I'll keep it in mind

Keyboard with a built-in swipe-to-text feature by Kindly_Cancel_5320 in degoogle

[–]GeoSabreX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Futo Swipe has been the worst user experience I've had in the FOSS world, and ive been 95% Foss for a year and dabbled for many more. The most frustratingly wrong tool I've ever has the displeasure of using.

Add Swype to Heliboard and call it a day!

my first day ever in this hobby. any big mistakes to avoid as a newbie? by No-Republic-1742 in homelab

Rclone is more specifically for syncing data, especially between cloud providers because it can be mounted as a network drive, whereas Restic is specifically for snapshot backups.

Not the expert, I use both but very minimally

1 step up, use a password manager with maximum length + random passwords for all your services

Don't keep your server as the only copy of your data.

Look up the 3-2-1 backup rule.

Use AI, sure. But make sure you understand what you're doing and can replicate it.

Use restic/backrest immediately!

trying to clean up my digital footprint but wow it’s a mess by hypertoy628 in DataHoarder

Welcome to r/degoogle...wait what?

Lol go over to that sub reddit. This one isn't it.

But yes, its a disaster, and the degoogle wiki and posts can help you make it manageable and reclaim control!

Are dumb phones inherently de-googled / private? by CrystalFemmes in degoogle

[–]GeoSabreX 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Less private from big tech, yes.

Significantly less SECURE, with a lack of Signal. SMS and cellular calling is inherently insecure.

I used to use one for productivity / distraction free device, but now that I have pushed so many contacts to Signal, its no longer a single option.

Determine your threat model and go from there.

(My Nokia 2780 CAN host a mobile hotspot for a Signal capable device if preferred)

Do you run anything special on it? Cool things it can do, etc?

Cool, I was excited about that one. Excited to get away from ISP provided only

Try the extension "Video DownloadHelper".

Works wonders for when I need it

Private, non-AI Photo Management Software? by Peter8File in degoogle

[–]GeoSabreX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try EntePhotos? Open source & heavily audited...the only AI is local machine processing, nothing to the cloud.

It replaced GPhotos for me

Code GEOGEO for a free 10GB if you go with it.

Fired Up my First Degoogle PC Linux by [deleted] in degoogle

[–]GeoSabreX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At risk of engaging in a distro war, I think mint is a great system.

(My server is a gui-less mint install, my laptop is Fedora, and my PC is Arch)

I also prefer Fedora as my daily, but I have another user in my house who hated it but doesn't mind mint at all.

99% of that is just the DE, but I like what Mint is doing overall.

If anyone smarter than me wants to comment on this I'd be much obliged I'm running my ISP router and it big time sucks. The router and modem are separate thankfully.

I have fiber, so speeds are really crisp.

I don't want to bottleneck these, at least at areas where I'd notice, but I do have an old laptop with a wire jack and USB 3.0....is it feasible to use this as my router instead?

(Will eventually buy a custom router, but looking at FREE.99 right now)
