I mean sure, that would be great, but I don’t have that.

Sure, but I highly doubt they are making policy where they work. I don’t think most employers would be happy about some random researcher not only plugging in a flash drive from home, but using it to install unapproved software (a full OS at that).

I have to be very careful when I eat pizza. My dog will sneak up and swallow a slice whole before I can react.

It is an issue for me because the only machine I have is my daily driver laptop, and I’d really rather not take up even that 35GB if it can be helped.

OK, this bot is very useful. Thanks to … whoever.

You are quite right in that it is not a cheap VMS. Since I don’t know 100% how to set thing up, though, the cost might be worth my time.

I may just pay for it and report back as a service to the community.

Ok, but I’ve only a remote idea of what you’re saying. Can you elaborate?

Thanks, I’ll look into this stuff.

I’ve been waiting for the free Oracle cloud to open up (I know that’s super rare). Is there a goof VPS you can recommend?

Yeah, that’s partially why I’d need info as to if this Lemmy host is legit. I have the domain (technically), and if the price jumps I’d be ok with that. I paid upfront for a couple years at $1/yr. Yeah, the registrar might screw me over, but at the price I’ve paid, there’s not a lot of risk. I really need feedback on the Lemmy host.

A more useful angle would be something like “This has a watermark and I don’t like that. Is there a version somewhere that doesn’t have one?”

I can’t think of a list, but outside of webcomics, I have never encountered a watermark in the media you have listed. Movies/videos would require someone actually sitting down with editing software, being somewhat competent, and time. Games? Nigh impossible.

I guess what I’m getting at is in order for people to be helpful here, you need to be more specific.

Here’s the article.

Since I have covid and I am bundled up and eepy, I’d say 2

This is cursed.

Granted, she did use it with deadly efficiency. I think that one backfired on them.

Java cards certainly did.

I mean, this could be useful, but I need a much higher level of understanding. When I was a dev, all we used was basically version control. There was no concept of commit, pulls, etc. I’m having to understand this from a standpoint of no understanding whatsoever. For most devs, they’ve done this for at least a decade with Git. Git is so much more complicated than a simple version control. I understand why it’s necessary for large teams, but I still see it lke this:

This is great. I’m going to try it out.
