Missed opportunity due complain about recall, bloatware, spyware and ads in an OS people pay for.

The .htaccess file does nothing on nginx though.

Best way I can think of to promote carpooling is kind of what colruyt tried.

Employee bus that goes down the main highway ( Belgium ). It has WiFi and you csn keep working on your way home. Every minute worked counts.

You’ll just need a bigger carpark by the highway. 30 minutes delay? It’s not lost time. Still want to use your car? Sure. But you’ll work longer and have to drive home afterwards.

I am not a traffic expert. The approach might be flawed. But it seems like a step in the right direction.

At least it’s better than complaining about overcrowded busses and trains who are delayed again. And while it might not solve the issue, If you can get a 10 people per bus. It should start adding up eventually. The incentive to take public transport doesn’t disappear with the disappearance of traffic jams. Its an alternative to sitting longer in the office and being home later.

I think colruyt did something like this for a while? https://reset.vlaanderen/2017/09/01/kantoorbus/

Maybe its something you can book a seat on and should be scheduled on a larger scale than just 1 company.

One can dream I suppose. Hell will freeze over when most companies will “trust” their employees enough to work on the bus though.

I’m in a similar boat. 45m drive by car. 2h using PT. Including a 30 minute walk for the last bit to my office. This doesn’t include waiting for busses or trains.

Realistically it’d be 2.5h without delays. And that’s just one way. After that I’m expected to work for 8h and do it again.

So if i leave at 7am, +5h+8h +30minute lunch break I’d be home by …8.30pm?

And that is hoping the connections line up after work… Cycling isn’t really an option as there’s no shower in the workplace. And knowing corps I’m pretty sure they won’t appreciate people charging their electric bike battery in the office for free.

RIP work-life balance using PT. And I already feel like it’s shit.

Though I do try to use the train when I can. Even though it ain’t cheap either…

In many places WhatsApp is the defacto standard unfortunately…

If its not that its something like Viber, or badoo or telegram or some other nightmare service…

If you have kids there is also not really getting away from it. Friends of mine have never had Facebook accounts until they had kids because the local football team or boyscout or whatever only uses Facebook to communicate…

I agree you can live your life comfortably without meta services, but sometimes, like in the example above, you dont have any alternatives…

You can’t keep harassing other parents to forward you messages or ask the team to print any messages specifically for you. Not having a Facebook account just gets “its easy to create” responses rather than “completely understandable, here’s our private matrix server to stay in the loop”.

Hey man,

Just let me buy my counterfeit art for € 1.3m

Yeah it is kind of like the “trust, but verify” paradigm. It will likely generate useful code or a very good starting point, but you should always check if it actually does what you expect it to.

You can’t trust them blindly. But They’re very helpful in your day to day tasks.

What bugs? I dont think I’ve actually run into any bugs?

Blizzard used to do that as well with world of Warcraft updates IIRC ( during vanilla )

Talk about a reverse UNO card.

There’s also the option of setting up a cloudflare tunnel and only exposing immich over that tunnel. The HTTPS certificate is handled by cloudflare and you’d need to use the cloudflare DNS name servers as your domains name servers.

Note that the means cloudflare will proxy to you and essentially become a man-in-the-middle. You – HTTPS --> cloudflare --http–> homelab-immich. The connection between you and cloudflare could be encrypted as well, but cloudflare remains the man-in-the-middle and can see all data that passes by.

Oh I thought the cloud game pass wasn’t Xbox games only. But that is entirely possible.

So this is basically Xbox game pass ultimate, the cloud gaming part?

Because at one point they mention if you have to rebuy games you already own and they said you can just link your library.

At one point it sounds like they’re renting out hardware and are able to stream your library to you ( you own the game ). Other times it sounds like they have a catalog and you just pay for the streaming to your device ( you don’t own the game ).

Edit: do not mean this in a negative way. I’m just confused trying to find the answer :D

The thing that tilted me the most on macbook was that I had to install a 3rd party tool to have shortcuts to move apps between screens. SERIOUSLY?

It’s a free app, but still.

That would’ve helped to add in the original message. I dont think I’ve ever heard of “ubi” servers.

You can try installing the deb file I guess? If you google it I’m sure you can find it somewhere.

Steam went better than lutris for me as well. It all worked out of the box without any tweaks.

Only issue I have is that when i alt tab I can’t get back in the game for some reason. Screen stays black or it auto minimises again. I forgot.

WiFi drivers… Bluetooth in general… Printers…

It could make a grown man cry I tell ya. CRY

The issue you linked mentions using pasta where it does work. Have you tried that or is it not a solution at all?

I’m all for it as long as you keep using your brain. Coworker of mine set something upn on AWS that wasn’t working. Going through it I found the error. He said he tried it using chatgpt. He knows how to do it himself, he knows the actual mistake was a mistake, but he trusted Amazon Q when it said the mistake was correct. Even when double checking.

Trust, but verify.

I found it to be a helpful tool in your toolkit. Just like being able to write effective search queries is. Copying scripts off the internet and running them blindly is a bad idea. The same thing holds up for LLMs.

It may seem like it knows what it’s talking about, but it can often talk out of its arse too…

I’ve personally had good results with 3.5 on the free tier. Unless you’re really looking for the latest data

But not voluntarily. Since it’s.integrated with apt you randomly get snap garbage installed instead.
