I use mine for a VPS running Ubuntu. It let’s me mess around with stuff and also let’s me host things like discord bots without needing a local pc always running.
My VPS is pretty cheap, something like 10 bucks a month so it’s worth it for me.
I second brother, mines been running strong for almost 10 years
In terms of multiplayer games with friends, we’ve been playing The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Family, not a fan of victim). Also booted back up Golf with Friends for the first time in a few years and we’ve been having a blast.
For single player I recently started Astroneer which I’ve been loving! Really digging the terraforming and resource gather dynamics of the game.
As someone on the edge of making the change myself, I have been enjoying these posts because I have been getting to learn some of the different distros and there pros and cons. Lemmy isn’t insanely active right now, so you get a different group of perspectives with each iteration of the question.
Maybe once lemmy gets bigger we can break off these sorts of questions into their own catalog but for now I think they are doing more good than harm here.
Just my two cents tho, obviously you have the right to disagree :)
I thought I was the only one that did that lol
I’ve had the same brother laser printer since uni (shit thats like 10 years ago now) and it’s never let me down. The only issue is it stops responding over the network sometimes when I Havnt used it in months.
That was quite the read but pretty worth it. He talks about a lot of the mistakes he made not just in relation to his crime, but as a developer, project leader, and general human being.
He discusses what things he would have done differently, and how he thinks that could have changed things not only for him but his software as well.
He mentions multiple times how much he wishes that the conflict handling and social classes he has access to in prison, were available to him in school. He ends the letter with a call to action, for just that asking people to try and affect legislation to get more youth access to this information to avoid cases such as his.
But I bet it sounded right enough to fool most people other than doctors. I feel like people keep forgetting that all these large language models do is really advanced autocomplete. They just string together a bunch of statistically likely tokens (read words, letters, phases) that sound the most right, not actually being the most right.
I started listening to Look Mum No Computer after watching some of his tech videos on YT, he does a lot of synth stuff and it opened up a whole new world of music that I’ve been loving. If anyone has some similar stuff let me know!
That looks pretty cool, I’ll have to check it out. Here is a link if anyone else is interested https://sandstorm.io/
