You mean the website where the search functionality is so bad, for so many years that you need an external search engine to find anything? That website? And they want to be seen as a search engine?

I guess they are taking the 'search' to mean 'searching, and searching, and searching...' and not a whole lot of finding.

That's one of the first checks I do when I unbox a new monitor. Red, green, blue, white, black; scan each one very carefully. Then, does it suffer from edge bleed? After a color calibration, is it as accurate as described?

I went through 3 panels on my gaming laptop, and literally... 8, I believe, on my desktop the last time I upgraded monitors. Laptop was the same panel of course but I kept getting bad edge bleed. Different screens and panels for the desktop but same issue. And once you notice it, it will drive you crazy. I returned a second-hand laptop because of a single stuck pixel, too, a few years ago.

I game regularly in a pitch-black room and these things are so obvious, I don't understand how they pass quality control. Next one will be oled though, I'm tired of this bullshit.

Though then you get into crushing blacks and dark grays (on the phones I've had anyway)... Can't catch a break.

Yeah, for chat I've tried a few systems but honestly I already had signal, they understand that signal chats aren't texting, the privacy is important to me, and most of all... why rock the boat?

It's not self-hosted yeah yeah but not everything needs to be. Password management, todo lists, calendar and contacts, grocery lists... sure yeah. But nothing for chat really struck me. And I don't want to teach everyone how it works just to test a 'maybe' alternative.

I mean, I'm working on it :P - I have 19 or 20 years now of content, some no longer available (artist closed up shop and ended that chapter of their life, etc) but it definitely grew with time. I have gotten way pickier about quality and resolution as the years go on, but so have my kinks, so I'm still chugging along like a freight train, piling on new things often.

Half a TB I'd say is overly optimistic, but maybe a quarter in another 20 years? With higher resolutions and more and more artists/characters (I currently follow over 600+ on FA), I don't think that's unreasonable.

In a few years if things progress how they are, I might be selling flash drives with content broken up by categories out of the back of my car at conventions, like bootleg booze and movies once were. People need their fix! They need it bad! :P

My first dummy intranet site for grade school used it, but it was a new technology at the time. I remember having a site on geocities a couple years earlier that was all wysiwyg and only used text. Back then, email was cool.

Internet nostalgia.

(my first post on lemmy so I hope I'm doing this right)

Distro: Spiral Linux (Debian, KDE spin), by recommendation

System: Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Gen 2 (Intel) (distro recommended as I am looking for Debian(-based), + btrfs, snapshots, and fde, included via the gui installer)

I'm having issues getting ModemManager to unlock my X55 modem. This morning I wiped my drive to install Spiral (KDE), coming from Kubuntu 24.04. While the modem worked after running the proper fcc unlock script in Kubuntu, it is entirely missing in my Spiral install. While I assumed that it would not be that simple, I copied /etc/ModemManager from my Kubuntu live environment to Spiral, ran

sudo ln -sft /etc/ModemManager/fcc-unlock.d /usr/share/ModemManager/fcc-unlock.available.d/105b:e0ab

and restarted, but alas that's not enough, so I'm stuck. I have added the network profile + apn to ModemManager (the UI) but of course without the modem unlocked, I can't connect. I'm new to cellular modems in Linux (this was a windows machine until ~6 weeks ago) but I'm otherwise comfortable with the terminal and commands. The modem was working as expected last night in Kubuntu.

I haven't got the system setup yet (trying this first before going further) so if I botch this, an install is no problem. I'm assuming it's either (or both?) a service, or a missing package that sets up what's needed, but I'm at a loss as to how to proceed.

I discussed this here https://lemmy.world/comment/10540509 this morning, though I think I got all the important details typed up above. But maybe it could be useful somehow.

Any suggestions are welcomed :)
