  • I don’t really use any of the AI stuff, as I just want it to post on a schedule for me. It’s mostly just an optional thing to help you write the posts themselves, but it’s super easy to ignore.

    But, to be honest with you, I’ve had terrible luck with it and we are about to move back to Hootsuite. It was incredible difficult to set up, we have constant bugs with it, and the devs are super hostile and unwilling to help in the discord. It seems like they really want you to pay for their hosted version which would probably be fine, but for basically the same price Hootsuite was a more mature and fully featured platform. Plus, they actually have support.


  • I can’t do shrooms either. I’ve tried a number of times from various sources and all I get is 10 hours of nausea and an overpowering urge to sleep but I can’t because I’m on shrooms.

    The psilocybin pills worked for me, although I was microdosing them as part of a research study so maybe that was the difference. But Ive never had any issues with other psychedelis either.



  • just use something

    This! I am an IT admin and inam constantly begging my coworkers to use a password manager, any password manager. My company will pay for you to use Bitwarden but if you don’t want to do that at least use the password manager built into chrome/edge. Please, I am begging you to use secure passwords and save them in a password manager.

    (Obviously not you fellow Lemmy users I’m sure y’all have too notch security practices. Just venting lol)


  • Your security will never be flawless. Human nature is to slip up every once and a while, and security is an ever evolving game of cat and mouse and even the professionals who spend their entire careers defending infrastructure are constantly playing catch-up.

    I would never host my passwords locally because I know my security at home is nowhere near the security of a professional platform, especially one as trusted as Bitwarden. My dumb family photos and personal git repo? Sure. But Bitwarden holds passwords to my bank, government websites, work stuff, my credit cards, etc.

    Waaay too much risk for me, and if anyone is looking at this i would recommend that you seriously consider what kind of liability you are really bringing on.



  • My two biggest issues have been HDR and simulation hardware.

    It’s been a good few years since I’ve tried it but every time I’ve tried HDR my saturation just gets cranked to 11 and it looks like those nature photos that are edited to hell and back. Not sure why, and I’ve heard other people got it working so idk. I think it’s just the Nvidia drivers doing their thing and not working.

    But controllers for flight and racing Sims are the biggest headache to get working. And then when you do get them working you’ll have issues with games running well and detecting them (I think this is actually due to proton/lutris), issues with force feedback, issues with the various buttons and sliders that aren’t the primary axis. And then, after you spend hours getting them to work, it’ll just break again the next time you want to play. My sims and FPS games are the only reasons I still have a windows install.













  • I disagree with the other person, rsync + ssh is faster even in my own benchmarks. But samba is plenty fast enough these days, I can easily have it max out my gigabit network so I don’t need anything faster. So for me (and I would guess the majority of people) speed really isn’t a concern anymore, so I use samba because it’s easy to use and it makes sharing network folders to anything else a breeze.

    It’s like phones. Yeah technically the newest iPhone is faster than this years budget Samsung. But when’s the last time your phone was actually a bottleneck? (Unless you’re one of those people who play games, in which case, actually please respond cause I could use some really nice idle city builders for my phone pls)
