I can attest to that. It’s remarkable on how few distros updating through Discover actually works reliably. I always update through the terminal because at least that works. I’ve noticed this issue on Kubuntu (apt), Debian (apt), and OpenSUSE (zypper). I think these issues are related to the PackageKit integration.

Considering your budget of 200 GBP / 250USD, I would recommend laptops meant for school. There are plenty of refurbished laptops out there with a decent battery condition and overall state for sale around €100. Most of these machines aren’t more powerful than most entry level Chromebooks and often have a Pentium or Celeron CPU, but that’s a tradeoff you’ll have to make. Another advantage is that they usually come with a touch screen and decent display, which is nice if you’re out and about.

sub 200 GBP / 250USD I guess

Last time I checked most were starting at 700+

If you want to expose it publically for others to use consider using Cloudflare for easy setup and avoiding exposing your home IP. If you want to use it for yourself you can access it with Tailscale and forward traffic to certain ports based on the subdomain using Nginx Proxy Manager.

It’s still AGPL afaik

EDIT:

This project is available under GNU AGPL v3 license.

Still is

This is a great initiative! I tried plasma on a tablet like device a while ago and the keyboard was one of the main issues holding it back.

And obviously their option is the “best”. From the conclusion:

Talos Linux is unique. It’s the only option that includes OS management in a purpose-built distribution for running Kubernetes. There’s no compromise for scaling up or down. In terms of small-scale numbers, it “wins” in several of the examined categories, including memory usage, disk r/w, and installation size. But all of these metrics are side effects of Talos Linux’s defining characteristic: It’s simple.

FYI you can get a numeric xyz domain for 1$ a year

I tend to pick D, the instance that is federated with most other instances so most of the interactions are visible or C.

Windows with the most popular chrome version to avoid standing out

My server is in a closet without ventilation. You will probably be fine.

Yes, that and bbswitch. Never got it working.

A common issue with those hybrid graphics is that it simply doesn’t switch and only uses one. Are you sure you’re not just using either integrated graphics or your dedicated GPU all the time?

Not technically hardware itself but Nvidia + Intel hybrid graphics have never really worked for me

Yeah, took me some time to figure out too

They don’t. They have a CDN sponsor.

I recently checked the uptime of several large Lemmy instances and found out that the latency of Lemmy.world was roughly 500ms while the latency of other instances was about 100ms. I suspect this is due higher server load. The daily active user count of Lemmy.world is substantially higher than the other top instances.

EDIT: The numbers

The daily active users (somewhat outdated):

lemmy.world response times

beehaw.org response times

Can’t you use a script for that? There is a method to bulk import into linkding from Firefox and a REST API for linkding that allows you to remove all expired links.

Neat, might have to try that sometime

Are there options with lower fees? It’s not much but if people pay per view it adds up quickly.
