  • One thing that was only mentioned briefly by someone else is the physical button turning on the computer.

    Similar to the paperclip test figure out where the power button goes into the mainboardw and bridge that with a short cable. Is possible that by moving the case the old button lost a cable.

    This is just one more thing to test though, it’s really trial and error as you know :)


  • From what I understand: CasaOS is simply an abstraction layer and takes away a lot of the manual work.

    I agree with you that this shows down learning quite a bit.

    I see three ways forward for you:

    a) switch to a Linux base system, Debian, arch, nixos, whatever resonates and set up everything from scratch. High learning curve but no more hidden things.

    b) same as a but as a separate setup. This is what I would recommend if you have the time and cash. Replicate what’s already working and compare.

    c) figure out how to do things manually within the CasaOS framework. Can’t help you there though :)




  • For me it’s very simple: NSFW can’t have a general acceptable definition because it depends on culture, background and personal beliefs. There is no way for a collection of communities to have a common definition and even if they would have: enforcement and interpretation is still done by volunteers.

    Therefore All is never safe for work unless I know that my tolerance is lower than all communities within lemmy AND I’m fine with an accidental penis or breast due to human error.


  • I don’t hate that much but I don’t watch him because of the shady selling business hr often does and apparent sponsored content which is not always disclosed (been a while but his channel misrepresented graphics cards benchmarks for example).

    It’s like the British yellow press for me: his face alone is enough to discredit the quality of the source. Could it be good? Sure! Will I ever find out? Not anymore.




  • User perspective:

    If you want something big I’d pitch nixos. As in the core distribution. It’s a documentation nightmare and as a user I had to go over options search and then trying to figure out what they mean more often than I found a comprehensive documentation.

    That would be half writing and half coordinating writers though I suspect.

    Another great project with mixed quality documentation is openhab. It fits the bill of more backend heavy side and the devs are very open in my experience. I see it actually as superior in its core concepts to the way more popular home assistant in every aspect except documentation!

    That said: thanks for putting the effort in! ♥




  • According to their page it’s a pure searxng instance. I didn’t see anything on my own instance changing so there are three options I see:

    • The mentioned server side changes (e.g. A server move you mentioned but could also be server settings, provider settings, etc).
    • client side changes: somehow your Firefox provides different information to alter the results
    • subjective change: it’s always a possibility that either what you searched or your perception was more fine tuned to Cyrillic.

    And then there’s the obligatory “none or all of the above”.

    Personally I’d guess it’s just a fluke. I gave it a few searches from Firefox mobile on “all languages” and had a mix of mainly English and a bit of German und French in there as results.

    Edit: if you’re comfortable with that feel free to share some search terms and we can compare results. Would be curious myself!
