The web app works fine. The desktop app is Electron-based but works fine. Yes, it is all centralised on their servers.

In which sense do you fear it will be invasive? Other than Slack seeing your messages on Slack, I don’t see what else you could be worrying about. They will always have that kind of access regardless of what you do locally since it’s not E2EE, so really this question just feels like paranoia.

Don’t say things on Slack that you don’t want Slack to know about. That should be all, really.

If you don’t want Slack to see any of your messages, don’t use it.

I’ve been using glauth + Authelia for a couple years with no issues and almost zero maintenance.

Yes, absolutely. Ideally there would be an automated check that runs periodically and alerts if things don’t work as expected.

Monitoring if the backup task succeeded is important but that’s tue easy part of ensuring it works.

A backup is only working if it can be restored. If you don’t test that you can restore it in case of disaster, you don’t really know if it’s working.

I guess it depends on where you are. Where I am the air is a lot less humid than in other places, and I have the opposite effect. I put the filament roll in the dryer and start printing. As time passes, like the filament gets dryer and stringing reduces.

He didn’t forget. In fact, he tried hard. This time, the checks and balances worked.

Unfortunately, even Lula managed to appoint a very conservative justice to the STF, his former lawyer Cristiano Zanin.

Ah got it. I didn’t know there was a free tier!

How do you use ChatGPT anonymously? It requires a valid login linked to a payment method. It doesn’t get any less anonymous than that.

I thought it was pretty common knowledge that these dryers lack airflow. There are tons of printable wedges in printables.com and thingiverse.com to keep the lid open.

This alone speeds up drying massively. Adding a small fan to the opening might be even better but I never found it necessary.

I’m confident there’s a lot more of them in the Tories. The problem is that under Starmer, the ones in Labour feel encouraged to show their colours.

was hoping it would double as a speaker.

What do you mean? This is a speaker. How would it double as one?

The main “instability” I’ve found with testing or sid is just that because new packages are added quickly, sometimes you’ll have dependency clashes.

Pretty much every time the package manager will take care of keeping things sane and not upgrading a package that will cause any incompatibility.

The main issue is if at some point you decide to install something that has conflicting dependencies with something you already have installed. Those are usually solvable with a little aptitude-fu as long as there are versions available to sort things out neatly.

A better first step to newer packages is probably stable with backports though.

Not much use to go Ubuntu or Mint, unless you have specific issues with Debian that don’t happen with those. Even then, it may be one apt install away from a fix.

If you want to try out BSD, power to you. I wouldn’t experiment on a backup computer though, unless by backup you just mean you want to have the spare hardware and will format it with Debian if you ever need to make it your main computer anyway.

Otherwise, just run Debian!

Up until a few months ago, Vulkan was very unstable on BG3. It’s been fine for a while though. I haven’t made performance or smoothness comparisons though, I just default to Vulkan and it’s been fine.

Doesn’t seem to have been an update in a while…

Instead of being a dick about it, why don’t you show what they’re doing and why you don’t like it, so we can all be educated and/or have a conversation about it, so everyone can decide for themselves if it’s a problem for them?

Thanks, you’re a star!

I want to avoid both though. There should be Fediverse bots mirroring them. 😅
