Looks like a project that utilizes coqui-AI: https://github.com/coqui-ai/TTS

Nintendo’s execs calling Boeing’s execs: “Hey, can you refer us to your…fixers? You know…rhymes with shmassassin…yeah you know, those guys.”

Reddit is still pretty useful, but it will become less and less relevant as contributors leave, just like StackOverflow did. Side note: are contributors actually leaving Reddit? People keep saying that’s happening, but I don’t really see it…maybe it’s very slow? Might depend heavily on the subreddit too.

Lol. It should also be no issue for you to find the comment and read their answer

I wouldn’t call it a clone, Tailscale didn’t invent mesh VPN’s. I believe Nebula is fully self hosted, while Tailscale makes initial connections through their servers. That means Nebula is more secure and private if you’re paranoid, but also harder to set up. They’re also based on different VPN protocols.

Tailscale actually published a surprisingly unbiased comparison: https://tailscale.com/compare/nebula

Good, maybe they’ll accomplish something while America’s government is busy gargling billionaire balls and accepting bribes.

Oh yeah I think so. Honestly NextCloud is slow on any platform, so don’t be surprised if you’re not impressed. But it’s a neat project to set up.

Title gore

Agree with others here. Ansible isn’t for beginners and neither is a Lemmy instance.

Try some other projects first, maybe some docker containers that involve a reverse proxy.

For example, NextCloud is a very useful thing to set up as a project, but I would say that you specifically need the new Pi 5 with plenty of RAM for that. The Pi 4 doesn’t handle a full NextCloud installation well.

Yeah I also installed putty a long time ago, I forget if it was actually necessary or if I was just afraid of command line back then.

You can SSH using command line. I do have a Windows Pro license, but I THINK that it’s not exclusive to Pro…

Sure, the sky is the limit. You could also just get a motherboard, processor, and power supply, plug everything in and shove it in whatever container you want.

The biggest thing to worry about is DIMM vs SODIMM. The latter is much smaller, and probably what most mini PCs will use. So if you have full sized DIMM RAM, you might have trouble finding a mini PC that will work.

And even if it is the right size, you’ll still want to make sure that your motherboard supports your specific RAM clock speeds.

Plenty of barebones mini PC’s that you can get for relatively cheap (under $200 or even close to $100). “Barebones” is a good keyword to search for because that means it doesn’t include RAM and a drive.

Look for an N100 or N200 processor if you want something that’s very small and power efficient (but it won’t be powerful enough for many games). Or, look for whatever fits your budget.

Edit: Oh! And make sure whatever you get is compatible with your RAM! What type of RAM do you have?

Yeah, Android had that advantage LATER, when they got their shit together. But when the iPhone initially released, it changed the game.

Sure, a browser minus Flash, but it was still a real browser. Most of the web functioned without Flash. And none of the competition even had anything close. It was such a revolutionary product that the iPhone didn’t even HAVE competition until Android got its shit together, which took a couple years.

Fair, they do shit like that. But this case was about app stores specifically, and they haven’t allowed alternate app stores since day one.

A monopoly is inherently abusive. It abuses centralized power to gain more power. But I would argue that Apple built their monopoly “honestly” from the ground up, and from day one the rules haven’t changed. Google started with an open platform, and sneakily changed the rules and made deals to get their monopoly.

Both are objectively bad. But Google’s method was more open to legal scrutiny, in hindsight.

It literally created the modern smartphone market. The Palm Pilots and Blackberries of the day couldn’t compare: the iPhone had a FULL BROWSER. It was insane. The team developing Android saw the iPhone and had a real “holy shit” moment, they had to go back to the drawing board and completely start over in order to compete.

Right, it’s trying to highlight unread comments but it’s bad at doing that job. Lol.
