No that’s self-employed.

Technically you could have a B+ version of self-emplyed, that is just: “crime, I set up a online scam/grift to earn ‘passive’ income”

Depends a lot on what you do.

But yeah. It can be a mix of whoring yourself out to google advertising, facebook, instagram, and shudder… tiktok.

I’ve gotten to know a guy in the same business as me whose been doing it long enough to have the momentum to just sit in his tiny storefront location, and have customers coming in the door by word of mouth, and by just having seen the store at some point years earlier.

I am so incredibly jealous. But. I’m a little over a year in and I am starting to pick up clients that heard about me from previous clients, and that is happening more and more.

SSS: You are the guy

Also B: Self-employed

It doesn’t work any different when using a single system.

Edit: I’m not referring to the old sustem where you’d authorize a system to play your games on other users.

I’m referring to the way you have to log in when switching to a new user.

You can have multiple accounts on a single deck. The switch is pretty quick, but you do need to auth in some way unless you set it to not require it. You do not need to install the same game multiple times. Essentially, if you’ve ever used the desktop client with multiple accounts, the functionality is very similar.

Of course.

Lots of cybercrime has been solved by law-enforcement by matching traffic logs based on timestamps and throughput.

Nextclouds shortcomings can be addressed. I have no idea how you’d even begin to get collabora to work sanely.

That’s not what I’m saying at all. I’m saying Collaboras implementation is fundamentally unfit for use.

I used to host a CODE server.

It ran like shit, because it works by rendering the viewport on the remote system, not the client. Instead you essentially send every input to the server, wait for it to render the change, and then send that back to the client. Collabora is like using office software through vnc. Except all the time.

The responsiveness is atrocious. Especially if you try to use it over a less than ideal connection.

But it’s just fucking text data. It shouldn’t require the same infrastructure as remote gaming to be usable. It should be able to handle multiple seconds of latency, and just sync back up without the user ever noticing.

But it can’t. Because it RENDERS on the server. Which means the tiniest hiccup in the connection between server and user causes noticable issues.

How does that help me add collaborative office suite functionality to my nextcloud instance?

Collabora will never be good.

When I learned it’s “just” a libreoffice fork running on a remote server that is then screenshared to your browser…

The input latency and the graphical wierdness when resizing the viewport suddenly made sense.

I still want something better than onlyoffice for my nextcloud instance, but at least it is responsive.

I use matrix.

I run an instance for myself an immediate family. I also federate with other instances to participate in some dev groups.

The most active matrix space I’m in, is the one hosted by ani.social. Daily activity on anime-related topics, and also fediverse, lemmy and software.

If you want to try it, the main “matrix.org” instance is far from easy to recommend though. Finding good public matrix instances is a challenge. As such the best way is probably to either host one yourself or know someone who does.

They are out there, though. I’ve seen people be happy with pikaviestin.fi, but that’s only for finnish people. Mozilla also has an instance, though I’ve no experience on it.

UNLIMITED TOEBEANS

Yes. They both have free speech.

If you can use your words to have them burned alive, so can they.

On thinkpads it is in the corner of the screen.

Do you realize that number 4 is just flushing your sinuses, but badly?

When done correctly, you match the salt content of the water with your body to avoid drying out the skin inside your sinuses, allowing you to SAFELY pour in water through one nostril, and out the other. Rinsing out mucus and pollen particles alike.

It is insanely relieving, but the effect is very temporary.

What you’re suggesting is just barbaric.

I snort anti-histamines.

I’m only half joking. Pills did nothing for me.

But nasal sprays and eye drops give almost immediate relief. When it’s particularly bad I will ask the pharmacists for two types, as “doubling up” on different active ingredients can allow for increased potency. Though that is something you should absolutely ask the pharmacist for a recommendation on, as combining any two isn’t necesserily effective, or safe.

If pills work for you, but don’t quite get it done, you can combine those with drops/spray too. Again, consult a pharmacist. Just tell them what you’ve tried, and ask for a recommendation on how to get a bit more potency.

For me, stuff that you apply directly is so much more potent, and I only tried it because a pharmacist recommended it when I said none of the pills seem to help me. It was night and day.

With the nose, it’s a little tricky if it has already become stuffed. Try to clear out as much as possible, before using the spray, then let it sit for as long as you can bear. Once it starts taking effect, you really want to keep using the spray before your nose starts reacting, so it actually reaches the mucus membranes, and doesn’t just hit mucus, only to be blown back out.

If you can clear out your nose by flushing your sinuses first, even better.

Another bonus of taking anti histamines this way is that it doesn’t make you as drowsy, as it’s applied much more locally. Though this varies. Some of the antihistamine in drops and nasal spray will still make it into the blood stream.

AFAIK the “right” way to do this is use a virtual device for system audio, and have that in turn output to the actual audio interface, so you can keep it maxed out.

But that doesn’t really feel like the ideal solution.

That said I’m probably missing something. EasyEffects is able to process audio in ways that should enable what you’re asking for, I just don’t know how.

Also, if you haven’t already, check out qpwgraph. It’s a virtual patch bay for routing audio around however you want.

Best part, is it’s not an add-on, really. It’s just a GUI for capabilities that pipewire already has.

Sea shanties intensify

Except cigarettes are a state-run monopoly over there.

The main reason things are going so slowly is that they can’t bring themselves to stop making so much money.

The same institution that’s supposed to promote the facts about the health-risks of smoking is the one making stupid amounts of money making and selling it.

If they ever stop, it’ll be because they transition to other nicotine products, or shift to exporting the product to developing countries (which they already are).
