Yeah, so I’ve heard 😕

I use SMS Backup/Restore, it saved my ass during my divorce.

I’d love a FOSS version that can handle RCS…

Y is a 3 wagon

X is an S wagon

Nobody cares though, because fuck Tesla and fuck Elon and I hope they both burn

Remember, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with buying a used 7th gen Intel PC and filling that with [insert drive of choice]. An i7-7700T is still more powerful than even the newer Synology units.

So you built your own NAS, then. NAS is just an acronym, “Network Attached Storage”. Not a singular line of products.

That said - I also feel the same way about Synology and the other “all-in-one NAS” brands. Expensive for what they are, which is essentially an incredibly cheap PC with a built in toaster. I built my NAS out of a 2014 Mac Mini (running OMV) and a Sabrent USB-C 4-bay drive dock, and even full of WD Reds, that entire rig is literally half the price of a DS920+. And more powerful.

That’s true, but the root method is open source:

That said, if it does cause issues, there’s nothing saying I can’t just block it at my router.

I rooted my 65" LG TV, and put a pi-hole in front of it.

I carry two laptops in my work bag regularly, a 15" and 14"

Stolen identities.

We have a couple Apple TVs. As much as I dislike the walled garden, they are very good for what they are.

I’m reminded of a recent comic depicting a dudebro wanting to shove a spear or something into another guy’s ass. Second guy contests the spearing for obvious reasons, but a third enters and plays the “we need to hear both sides” card.

Really drove the point home. Heh.

Also, I can’t find that comic anywhere. I don’t remember where I saw it, either.

IDK, we should ask Alanis Morisette

Ventoy is entirely unrelated to preserving user data. It’s just a tool that lets you drag-and-drop multiple ISOs onto a flash drive without having to image it every time.

Ironic because Thinkpad T- and P-series laptops are some of the most robust machines you can get for a reasonable price these days.

Of course, the IBM that launched the Thinkpad line is a completely different company than the IBM that helped commit WWII atrocities… But it doesn’t matter anyway because they sold the entire PC division to Lenovo 20 years ago.

Yeah, that was the implication.

No.

Find a well-supported distro (Debian, or Debian-based like Ubuntu and Linux Mint, is ideal - highly stable). Then go through your applications and look for Linux equivalents, or see if the companies behind the apps offer a version for Linux.

I’ve been running Linux Mint Debian Edition (not Ubuntu-based) on my laptop for almost a year now. It’s now my go-to machine for pretty much anything I do outside of my gaming PC (which is also getting Linux Mint soon).
