FLASH! AAAAAAAA

Okay but where do I source the bear bones?

I’d rather be played for a relative fool.

I work with Windows and it’s AWFUL. Did you know the taskbar is a fucking ELECTRON APP? Everything is so slow. And you have to go through hoops to do what you want, and that setting isn’t available in the settings electron app, you have to go through these 5 screens to find the magic button that opens the win 95 style dialog box to set what you want. It’s so So SO BAD.

Well, I’ve been known to hold a grudge.

Didn’t WD screw some customers of their Red line with shady practices?

Looks like the Privacy Guides website is open source. It has a recommended tools section that you can use as a starting point.

Thanks. I didn’t know the compliance solution from Microsoft was attached to office.

That and policy enforcement are, I think, the biggest obstacles for Linux adoption commercially.

Compliance being what is and isn’t allowed to run on a computer?

MSP?

You’re right. It was released almost at the same time as the 1st gen iPod touch, and that iPod ran the same OS as the iPhone (then named iPhone OS). I thought the iPod touch came before, it didn’t. The iPod classic was significantly different from the iPhone.

I remember when the iPhone came out, it was a little more than an iPod that made calls. The rest is history.

While countries like Brazil, Mexico, and India have privacy laws on paper, enforcement is weak, allowing both domestic and foreign vendors to deploy invasive technologies unchecked.

So they’re doing just as well as the US?

Appwrite and Supabase are both very promising open source “serverless” solutions.

Man, the US has a handwriting problem. It sucks sooo much. In other countries it seems to be only doctors, but in the US? Fucking everyone.

It’s good that they’re using it to screen for it then.

It’s like the blood pressure screening you get every time you go to the doctor. It can’t detect hypertension on its own, but can point you to the necessity for a test for it.

I imagine the end goal would be a machine that you put your fingers in and gives a chance of anemia present. That could be a screening for a proper anemia diagnosis.

I have an always-on 2020-ish corporate desktop with TrueNAS. When idling, that thing is silent. I have to look at LEDs to make sure it’s running.

I think Activity Pub has a clear leg up in that you can be as decentralized as you’re comfortable.

Want to go full one-person instance? You got it. Want to host for your friends and family? Covered. Want to host for the general public? Can do. Don’t want to host at all? Pick your open instance and join the fun.

There’s also Incus, but if you’ll be using your TrueNAS box to host the containers, I suggest you stick to Docker as it’s the default. If you’re building a second container box, Proxmox, Docker, Podman, and Incus are your best bets. Choose what fits your expertise and needs best.

I’ve heard good things about Incus, otherwise Proxmox is the default these days.
