That is a lot of money for me, especially if all I need it to do is simulate the on button. Surely there is some really cheap arm based device that has an ethernet port and can therefore send WOL signals.

Arch wiki strikes again! That’s pretty cool I just checked and the bios on my pc does indeed have this feature.

What?? which ones?

Lan is not the name of my parent 💀

Using a public instance is more private than using a private selfhosted instance.

That actually seams pretty awsome, just using a really low powered device to send WOL commands.

I don’t have home assistant setup in my parents place, that is a nice feature though I might use that for other things.

I already have 2x2tb hard drives, a singular sd card is not enough for me I need some level of redundancy even for my backups.

Its also free if you get it on fdroid.

I didn’t realise the bios could do that I will look into that.

The search engines that searxng interact with still track you. For this reason I will always use a public instance to mix up the tracking with everyone else using it.

I don’t really take issue with dozens of posts by newbies asking the same basic question over and over. I used to be one and am occasionally back there again if I start a new hobby. Hopefully newcomers don’t get pushed off by overly sensitive moderation.

I’m not sure if I agree with this, unless you need clarification on something specific the forum like nature and search should allow you to find answers to previous questions without asking it again.

But I do agree overmoderation is bad. I swear if communities start implementing a karma system…

Buying low and selling high is fundamentally taking advantage of other peoples losses.

So someone recently told me I should cut back on donations to open source projects.

Your being too nice, be more greedy??

Commonwealth bank

This is what I’m looking for! thanks. I also like the idea of not supporting big bank so I like the idea of this.

spending 5 minutes writing up a comment only to accedently press the cancel button ): Lemmy devs should put a confirmation for canceling when it’s above a certain character limit or something.

That seams pretty cool, thanks.

Is zorin-os that good? I don’t really like its model of bundling a whole lot of free software together and then charging money for it.

Although you can just get the free version.

merging those contributions kinda becomes an actual need of users

When you say it becomes a need does this mean that not merging them would course the projects to fail? This means that if the option to merge the contribution didn’t exist in the first place (like non free software) the project would fail.

but I still think that letting companies just fuck off and do their own centralised thing separately from decentralised DIY-like development which, to my mind, is actual freedom, might help.

Actual freedom is taking away peoples rights to make things worse. If you want an example of what happens when actual freedom is available look at the free market.
