Standard Notes. You can even self host.

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

If that’s how that community works, I might have to switch to Ubuntu.

I’ve been meaning to switch from Tailscale to Headscale but I have been to busy. Do you have any instructions, write-ups/walk-thrus you could recommend to set this up? I have three sites with 1GB internet I can use. One has a whole house UPS but dynamic IP, another has a static IP but no UPS, and the third is Google fiber with no UPS, but I can use the app to get the current IP anytime. I also own a number of domain names I could use.

I thought about getting an M4 MacBook Pro with all the bells and whistles for that same reason but I just don’t need it.

You can self host a lot on something like that.

The one place I see a huge leap is in MacBooks. The capabilities of a 2015 Intel based MBP are laughable when compared to an M4 based 2025 MBP. I use an MBP for my music production and I just cannot make it choke, no matter what I throw at it.

I remember when a ten year old laptop was just trash, unable to even boot a modern OS. Current hardware capacity exceeds our actual demand by so much that a ten year old computer is still adequate for most users (assuming you aren’t on Windows).

My 8 year old 1080ti graphics card can run most games perfectly fine on a 1080p/60 screen (still the most common spec budget monitor). I would not be surprised if it that PC hits 10+ years of gaming without a real need for upgrade.

Windows 11 on 4GB of RAM? Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight…

I know, but I was trying to help OP out by suggesting they try a general Linux community rather than a deck specific community. For their Linux, not deck specific, question they would be better served by the broader audience of the other communities.

Wrong community. You should try one of the Linux ones.

Isn’t it bad enough that reality is currently neck deep in a cyberpunk dystopia? I don’t want to jump straight into the grim dark.

They do.

Instead of bookmarks I use the “share to Standard Notes” option. It names the note after the link, saves the link, allows you to write a summary or tags, and makes it all searchable so it is findable later rather than disappearing like a needle in a haystack.

Why are you using Grindr Classic for search?

I have been on it for about a year and I have no complaints.

What non-american search engine do you use?

Definitely next to Linux guy. I’ve been working on Linux since very early days, so I don’t talk about it because at this point it is as core to my life as knowing how to brush teeth. Nothing would entertain me more than to spend a flight giving that guy the ole “ummmm…actually”.

In the most technical terms, yes. The idea is not new or bizarre, but I see the same missteps repeated. For starters, the venture HAS to be a nonprofit with zero need for monetization. It will also need an inviting and easy to navigate user interface, accessible to the most nontechnical of users. You need to have a massive document library from multiple large players from day one, so you need to have a lot of contacts.

As I said it’s not fully cooked, but I have spoken to a few people that could help me make it happen and they seemed open to it.
