What about Apple? Sorry, I don’t understand what you’re asking.

Sounds like they’re reaching feature parity with Apple and Google. Both already do that so I’m not surprised. I never use Microsoft’s App Store so I’ll never see them.

Some windows help please in c/[email protected]

Do you have room for 2 SSDs in the case? If so, install windows on one and Linux on the other. Then set the BIOS to boot from the Linux disk and grub will let you decide which OS to boot from. This way, windows won’t interfere with Linux.

I’ve been using this for months and it works well. Except when I hit a Debian bug that configured grub to not look for OSes on other drives! But that was fixed.

Some companies don’t deserve to be in business and some executives don’t deserve to get paid. This is crazy.

Wait, wasn’t it the US that used to arrest anyone accused of being a red commie, just because a neighbour thought they may have just possibly had the slightest inkling that they may possibly, slightly, be a commie?

Why? Because the platform is owned by Elon Twitler, and he’s opened the floodgates to anyone who wants to help destroy the world.

No wonder the Americans won independence with all the AR-15s they had back then.

He’ll probably attach it to the back of his truck to make a statement about his manliness, along with how he loves beer, freedom, guns, Jesus and Trump.

Anyone familiar with SFTPGo? (lemmy.ca)

I’m trying to set up a group so multiple users can share a folder. I created the group and a folder for it but I’m not what paths I should use for both. The result is that the user can see the group folder in the web UI but an error occurs after clicking on it:

“Failed to get directory listing: Unable to get directory contents"

Thanks

Bit of a long shot, but are there any in person ASL (sign language) courses in #barrhaven or perhaps south west #ottawa?

Help finding budget gaming laptop (lemmy.ca)

submitted 10 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

13 comments fedilink

I’d appreciate some assistance in finding a budget gaming laptop from a reliable source. I can pop into BestBuy (who enjoys that anyway!) or Canada Computers but are there alternatives? I’m look for something to play older games, like strategy games as wargames, but I’m not bothered about the latest games. I also want to do some development, likely using Eclipse+Java and also use docker-compose in VirtualBox. Maybe I’ll also mess around with Unity3 or the Unreal engine.

A reasonable spec is: 16 or 32Gb 512Gb+ SSD Decent discrete GFX card but not the latest Current or previous gen AMD or Intel 2+ USB 3 ports FHD monitor Nothing too heavy though I won’t be travelling Budget is probably $1100+tax

Is that reasonable? Thoughts and suggestions greatly appreciated.

I’m considering picking up a cheapish laptop for development, with the intent of installing Linux on it. Typically it’ll be Java development or other stuff in docket containers. Is there a best chipset to pick for Linux or are they pretty much identical these days?

Ghostery browser and android? (lemmy.ca)

submitted 10 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I was looking at browsers in the Play store and saw the Ghostery browser. It's now apparently based on Firefox, and I assume the Ghostery (plugin/extension) functionality is built in. Does it protect privacy better than other browsers and is it worth trying out? I currently use Firefox on android but I detest it's UI decisions. I've no idea if Ghostery has a different UI or not.

If I self host some kind of private video chat service, is the video data transferred direct from connected peer to peer? Does it go through the self hosted service instance? Or does that depend on which video server is used?
