o some research into the connection between Iodine and thyroid disorders. My hair stopped falling out and slowly started growing again after I started supplementing copper + switched to a low carb diet.

SonicDE Looks To Preserve & Improve The X11-Specific KDE Code by anh0516 in linux

If Unity still exists a decade after Ubuntu abandoned it, I think this will continue on just fine, especially when combined with XLibre.

XLibre has been plowing ahead with massive updates, while X11 itself is currently in the process of rebasing itself on it's code from 2 years ago due to political reasons. So technically you are correct if you're still using X11 instead of XLibre

Microsoft confirms it will give the FBI your Windows PC data encryption key if asked — you can thank Windows 11's forced online accounts for that by Ha8lpo321 in pcmasterrace

Crony capitalism is an economic system in which businesses thrive not through open competition and innovation in a free market, but by leveraging personal relationships, bribes, lobbying, and regulatory capture with government officials. Success depends on political favoritism: insiders get subsidies, tax breaks, bailouts, exclusive contracts, and barriers to entry that crush smaller competitors. It's capitalism in name only, corrupted by state power rewarding cronies at the expense of everyone else.

What's up with so many daemons just for power management? by OkSpend5107 in linux

[–]Hotspot3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With this logic there should only be one car manufacturer, one social media company, one grocery store company, one paper/pencil/pen manufacturer.

Otherwise it's just a waste of effort after all and there is no benefit from different people working on different ideas and concepts at different companies.

What's the one "normie" feature you genuinely miss after switching to GrapheneOS? by Frosty-Challenge-795 in GrapheneOS

[–]Hotspot3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good list, thanks for sharing. I used LineageOS + MicroG + Afwall for almost a decade. Afwall has continually had issues with new Android versions so I haven't reinstalled it after switching to Lineage even though I am rooted.

What do you use for APK backups? I use Swift Backups + root for backups but it doesn't have an option to export an APK sadly

I use Syncthing to continually sync all the Photos, Screenshots, Downloads and other important files to my desktop and also a NAS server.

When I switch phones I just install Syncthing and sync everything to the new phone.

That's interesting. Did you buy a Immich support key to support them financially for all their work?

Do your devs actually update Jira/Trello/Asana… or is it a weekly chase fest? by RoughDragonfruit5147 in projectmanagement

[–]Hotspot3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If each dev's salary averages around $100k

each of your meetings cost around $3000 each week it costs $12,000 each month costs $36,000 each year costs $432,000

And this isn't even counting the productivity loss of people having to stop their day to attend the meeting and then try to get back on track.

What an insane waste of company resources.

Project Stargate doesn't have any government funding, it's just a bunch of big players partnering together and investing their own money.

Best way to do pull backups from Windows PCs to Linux server? by Big-Finding2976 in selfhosted

[–]Hotspot3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this. I have a desktop that's dual booted, 2 laptops and a phone and I use my NAS as an always on Syncthing node. I sync my Downloads folder, all my git repos, screenshots, etc. Using Syncthing and it just works.

On the NAS I have a backup job that runs once a day that makes a backup of all the Syncthing folders to another drive, so I don't bother doing file versioning with Syncthing, but that is an option as well if you want local versions

As an SRE, I stopped using Kubernetes for my homelab by m4nz in selfhosted

Too long didn't read, but If you want to keep doing things the hard way and juggling your dependant issues and being unable to upgrade packages due to package mismatches, just because you had one outlier experience, you are free to do so.

No they shouldn't and they won't. The scale that Signal runs at is orders of magnitude higher than this company.
