When we were purchasing new dell laptops for work a 2 years ago, the change to lpddr was an oversight and we bought models with 8gb of ram. Since these are effectively not upgradeable for us, they're going to age out sooner than they should. We were not very happy...
Luckily we caught this fairly quickly at least, and it only represents a few percent of our total inventory. I hate this anti consumer design.
I've been using Pop for a few years. I purchased a System76 laptop and decided to give it a spin since it was already installed. There's a lot of I like about, and overall appreciate System76's effort. It's very stable, works flawlessly with Lutris, and the Pop store is a refreshing take on package management. Ive continued using it since at this point I'm just settled in on my OS and don't want to bother setting anything else up lol.
That said, I'm still a much bigger fan of KDE over gnome and gnome derivatives. Pop lacks a lot of UI customization I'd really like to have. There's also only two themes,( and im not particularly interested in learning how to replace is manually).
I am looking forward to trying out their next iteration of the Cosmic DE though. The previews look awesome and it would be a big step forward for Pop.
My arachnophobia is always conflicted by this... 😅
Qbittorrent let's you dynamically rename and move stuff based to tags. Status, and other stuff. You could get really in depth with the scripting too.
Ah yes, right out of the "we don't care, we're making tons of money" playbook.
Symphonic metal is a huge and diverse genre! Nightwish, Epica, Within Temptation, Kamelot are good places to start.
I've sunk over a dozen hours into it so far. It's a really enjoyable game, however it is truly in early access stage and the developer has made no illusions about that. It's playable, and largely bug free, but there's not a lot of depth available since many of the features are still in progress. Up to the release of the game, it's been developed by 1 person and he's hiring some additional staff but that all takes time to see fruition.
The graphics are beautiful, and the game has a great atmosphere. I love watching the buildings being constructed. The mechanics in the game work well, but there's a lot of buildings, resources, and advanced stages that need tweaking/implementing.
If you like what you see in the videos, and are OK with an actual early access game, knowing that features and improvements will be coming slowly, then id suggest getting it now. Otherwise, wait for the official release.
"arguing that it has harmed men and even destroyed the fabric of society."
Ahh yes, the injustice of the millennium. Abusive, asshole men can't keep their wives against their will...
Hello! I lurk too much, but I'll echo t3rmit3. This is a nice, quieter space. I check Beehaw daily but I don't find myself doomscrolling like I used to on reddit. It's just nice to pop in once a while, check if there's anything new, and get on with life.
That said, I should start posting some of my own findings!
I've been at my current job, which is a nonprofit in the social services industry for 10 years. I didn't intentionally choose this industry but j found I'm very comfortable here. It can be a stressful job at times, but what job isn't.
Theres no money in most non profits. However I've never hated my job the biggest downside aside from salary, I don't have the budget, tools, or resources to do what I'd like at times. I also tend to wear every hat in our small IT dept. A distinct difference I've found in the non profits I've worked for is company culture is so much better. Ymmv depending on the industry and size, but people who stick with the company are usually in it for the mission. This tends to weed out the "bad eggs".
I have a hard time stepping away from my job even tho j could easily make $50k more at a for profit company. I'm not sad about my choices even tho I'd certainly like to be paid more. I don't live to work though, and the job doesn't demand it of me so it makes for a decent work/life balance.
Most phoronix articles are pretty much straight to the point actually. I haven't regularly visited them in a while but they were a good source for open source news, and might still be.

Hi everybody! I just finished preparing a batch of Kimchi! I based my recipe off a mix of Maangchi and a recipe I got from Mother's Kimchi. I am going to leave it out on the counter for a day or two and then stick it in the fridge to slowly fermented for 2 weeks at least.
This is the first time I am using my Crazy Korean/e-Jen fermenter. I am hopeful it'll work out better than the large ball jars i've used in the past. The inner lid that slides down into the container creates a significantly better, and easier seal to keep stuff submerged. (side note: the marketing states there is Onggi clay in the plastic, and even if it is, I don't believe it'll do anything)
Basic recipe: 3lb Napa Cabbage, 2.5tbsp Japanese sea salt (comparable to Korean brining salt) 1lb Korean Radish, Carrot, green onion, garlic, onion, mother's fish sauce.
I generally keep the salt low in Kimchi. I use less salt than typical (2-3tbsp) I rub the leaves with salt and let it wilt for 2 hours, then wash leaves. With the additional fish sauce I add, the salt content has been more than enough to safely ferment but not going overboard.
In recognition of Juneteenth I cooked up a few things for dinner: Charleston Red Rice, (Instant Pot) Collard Greens, and Black Eyed Pea salad. Everything was so delicious!
First post and I'm excited for this community! I want to share one of my very favorite things, Salsa! 😁
Salsa 1 is a tomatillo salsa with mulatto pepper. salsa 2 is a tomato salsa with Chipotle and guajillos peppers.
I constantly make variations based on what I feel like trying, inspired by, or craving!
Hope other people will share their favorites!
Cool article! Fungi are rad!
