For photos - iCloud is very practical for the not-tech-savvy users. For file storage - Hetzner Storage Box is pretty nice because it allows FTP and you have 0 worries about its maintenance and configuration. Depending on your budget and how many pe…

(Quote) I had grown fond of the abomination. :)

(Quote) I was referring to the (now apparently old and replaced) profile picture. Intended to be funny. My bad.

(Quote) I've heard Mint XFCE recommended for low-end hardware, but haven't had much luck with it when I tried it on a weak, old laptop. So, if it doesn't run Mint MATE, I'd go with Antix. Your experience may differ.

Where is the monkey?!

Antix runs OK on just about anything. :) https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/17865179405683715/

(Quote) For not gaming (or video editing & streaming for that matter) - AMD gives more bang for the buck IMO. Basically, at the cost of sounding old-fashioned, I'd look for an AMD graphics card with an AMD CPU, and Nvidia for an Intel CPU, gene…

(Quote) I'd argue that, with computer hardware, "future proofing" makes very little sense in terms of finances. Buy what you need for the job. Note that making some performance "headroom" as in not using 100% of available RAM or…

(Quote) RX 6600 (the non-XT version) is the least expensive I would dare to recommend. You could "risk" with a used RX 6500 and if it doesn't work well, sell it on (won't lose much money if you buy used).
-
I haven't tested any Nvidia cards on Linux. Currently, I'm happy with RX 6800 (Sapphire Nitro+ AMD card series are high quality, but bad idea if you don't get a reasonable price). But for text and watching videos (without editing them), AMD RX 6600…

Most people I know use smartphones, social networks, and payment cards (Visa, Mastercard etc.) - so not much use in trying to protect their privacy from my home network. The same goes for me since I started my websites and YouTube. Those few who r…

Mailchimp seems to be really social. :)

(Quote) I'd argue that it isn't new. It's been out for over 10 years now. That's a lot of time in the IT world. When "Internet 1.0" and "2.0" came out, they both had some good use-cases immediately. Giving noticeable benefits to…

A4TECH V7M BLOODY - LOL. A pretentions name - with a red bloody hand print glowing. Hahah. But it's good - and was relatively cheap (under $30). Not sure where to buy it now. It's still available in Serbia. :) Software customization is crappy, so …

(Quote) To use an analogy in order to show the flaw in the "what if" logic of this and a few other posts: If people turned to custom hand built bicycle frames, the prices would skyrocket (from the existing high prices), and quality would g…

(Quote) It's not really decentralized - not in practice, IMO. Highly inefficient that way - not as bad as using pigeons, but not much better either.

ping command gives me this: ping: hostyour.nft: Name or service not known Chrome opens a search page for the term. Web3 is well over a decade old now - and it's been a bullshit from the very start. It's not going to allow you to trade and/or spea…

I practically always use affiliate links when a service/product I'm recommending offers that program. Companies pay you out past a certain amount (say about $100). With some programs, you get money transferred as soon as you hit the payout thresho…
