RockyC@lemm.eeto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Whats the best/cheapest email service to hook into?English21·7 months agoAbout a year ago, I trialed both Proton Mail and Tuta mail. Proton mail worked out better for my needs, but YMMV. 
One nice thing about switching providers is that it gives you the opportunity to rid yourself of years of built-up cruft and spam.

RockyC@lemm.eeto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Whats on your USB stick? Looking for recommendations for handy toolsEnglish4·8 months agoI use Ventoy to boot everything but macOS. Those installers need their own partitions on the SSD.
RockyC@lemm.eeto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Whats on your USB stick? Looking for recommendations for handy toolsEnglish191·8 months agoDo yourself a favor and skip the USB drive - they are ridiculously slow compared to a compact external SSD. I found a cheap m.2 enclosure on Amazon and put an old SSD in it and the speed difference is breathtaking.
My SSD has a bunch of Linux distros grouped into folders along with Windows 10 & 11, every macOS from 10.13 to present, along with Rescuezilla, Hiren’s and a few others I can’t remember at the moment.
Rescuezilla was my #1 go-to during my days of distro hopping. Makes it super easy to try out a distro on bare metal instead of a VM.

RockyC@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•SanDisk introduces the first 8TB SD and 4TB microSD cards - LiliputingEnglish112·9 months agoI feel like this is a product looking for a market. Why would anyone ever trust that much data to something so fragile and easy to lose?

RockyC@lemm.eeto Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•What is your favourite FOSS notes application?English22·10 months agoI’m a huge fan of Joplin. It runs on everything and syncs to either your or their cloud. Been using it for a few years now.
RockyC@lemm.eeto Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•SerenityOS and LadyBirds: Because These Things Shouldn't Hide in Closed Git Conversations - ░ Nova OnlineEnglish55·10 months agoAre we really complaining about gendered pronouns in source code notes for a web browser?
Is that what we are doing?
There are mountains of bigger fish to fry, y’all. Social change doesn’t happen overnight. It can take decades or longer.
Widespread language changes have historically taken decades or even centuries to occur.
Ask any woman or person of color over the age of 50 about the CONSTANT slights or worse endured every day for most of their lives for some perspective.
Fight the good fight, absolutely, but this isn’t worth getting angry over - at least not from what I’ve read so far.
RockyC@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•Canon is getting away with printers that won’t scan sans ink — but HP might payEnglish1·2 years agoI’ve gotten shitty performance from 3rd party toner cartridges, so I just stick with the OEM.
I will agree with you that what they did is shitty, though.
RockyC@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•Canon is getting away with printers that won’t scan sans ink — but HP might payEnglish44·2 years agoI’ve been doing IT for over 25 years. The only printer brand I will buy or recommend for the past 15 years running is Brother.
Yep. I print on glass with PETG on my Ender 3, and patience pays off.
Just WAIT until the part lifts off my itself. It comes off of the bed cleaner and you don’t risk breaking the piece you just printed.
