Literally just bought what I believe to be last generation’s X13 on ebay for half the price of the new one. It’s been great so far, especially with the power efficiency of Ryzen CPUs. My one complaint is the soldered RAM, which judging by the new lineup is getting phased out, thankfully.
My specific point here was about how this friend doesn’t trust the results AND still goes to Google/others to verify, so he’s effectively doubled his workload for every search.
I’ve had this argument with friends a lot recently.
Them: it’s so cool that I can just ask chatgpt to summarise something and I can get a concise answer rather than googling a lot for the same thing.
Me: But it gets things wrong all the time.
Them: Oh I know so I Google it anyway.
Doesn’t make sense to me.
Personally I rename them to something meaningful and they get merged if there are no other references. PayPal is especially bad for completely meaningless rubbish in the payee field and they tend to be ad-hoc purchases so I don’t fiddle with them much. The category is the most relevant bit for me.
I like it and have been using it for something like 6 months. I had an issue where I really liked the application and how simple it was but I didn’t really want to “budget”, just keep an eye on where my money was going. That was fine, just keep zero-ing the numbers every month, slightly tedious though. Now they’ve got a “report” style behind an experimental flag and that’s made it pretty perfect for me.
I set up some family members with the electron app after they had spent 3 days to do in a spreadsheet what I had done in 3 hours in actual. There was resistance initially due to sunk cost fallacy but now they’re loving it.
Other options like ynab and firefly were just too bloated and complex for our simple use case.
There’s an argument to be made that without David Cameron’s decision to sacrifice the country’s relationship with Europe and appeal to UKIP with the Brexit referendum we wouldn’t have had May, Brexit, Boris, Truss or Sunak. To be honest I think we would have had Boris anyway but we maybe wouldn’t have had such a lurch to the far right as we’ve had.
Having said that, I think the shift to the right was already underway, a Boris follow-up was pretty inevitable with how skilled he is at fooling people with charisma (that somehow made everyone forget or forgive his leaked conversation to have a journalist assaulted). His legacy will always be his completely inadequate and corrupt handling of COVID. The one good thing I’ll say about him especially compared to Sunak is that he does seem to genuinely care about the environment and did enact some positive environment policy.
“Too slow to be viable” is a bit strong. I’ve had a fairphone 4 for at least a year now and I’ve had no issues.
Yeah this is definitely a downside to using spare gear over purposeful purchases. I think it makes sense to use what I have and optimise later. I’ve got an old intel i5 and mobo I’m planning on using for the NAS. Need to find another use for my old Ryzen 5 2600X.
Thanks, the flexibility and closed source (I assume) of turn key solutions puts me off them. I’ve already got a raspberry pi running a few containers and I work with docker and Linux in my day job so I know a decent amount. The form factor of the turnkey solutions is the big draw for me at the moment to them as I’ve just got a spare ATX mid size tower handy. Would ideally replace with smaller case but then I’d need a smaller motherboard and that’s just raising costs for starting out. Potential upgrade path anyway.
Thanks for the suggestion. That wasn’t a standard format I was just trying to write them out in a way that represented what I was seeing in my DNS controller and now realise it probably would have been clearer as a table. I honestly wasn’t sure if *.local would work either but it’s working great now.
No but it’s an important step I didn’t cover in the post so good spot. I’ve solved my issue now, see the edit in the post.
So I put debug mode on and I see no requests to Ionos which seems like it’s the main problem.
Yes, thanks.
Yes it’s ionos. I think from the other comment and the fact my DNS hasn’t been changed (I’d assume I should be able to see the acme challenge record if it was successful) the DNS integration seems to be the culprit. Not sure how to fix it though!
Yes I’ve got the domain I just replaced example.com for explanation purposes. Yes I know public certs are easily searchable which is why I’m trying to use a wildcard domain (*.local) which is public. Caddy should be handling the domain record updates as required but I would assume that I’d see an error from the API request to update the record before seeing the cert failure. Maybe it’s silently failing. I’ll check if possible.
I think part of why it’s confusing is that we don’t have defined names for these things. This is so early in a social media “product” life that there isn’t a common understanding. You’re now part of making those names. It’s a bit exciting but mostly confusing while everyone uses their own terms to mean the same fundamental things. Embrace the chaos!
“It was the left that ruined Truss’s budget!” Was the genuine reaction of someone I talked to about this a while ago. Could not believe it nor understand it. Still can’t.
