You only really need one, the first outlet in series should be GFCI and then there is a "load" side and anything connected to that is also protected. If you aren't sure, you can get a tester to trigger a GFCI fault and if it is connected to one, it will trip.

    What's the option? Windows? Keeps getting shittier all the time. Now with AI Slop and bugs. No thanks. Mac? Their walled garden, making it so you can't upgrade your existing computer? No thanks. My last mac was a 2015 that let you upgrade things but it was a pain. They've since removed that so they lost me as a customer.

    With Linux, I have a Framework laptop that let's me upgrade everything. It's easy to take apart, there are hardware switches for the mic and webcam.... it's very user friendly. Linux doesn't have any telemetry. The only AI that gets installed is if I install it myself, it's not intrusive. I've been using Linux for a long, long time but the Desktop experience has been lacking in the past. It's gotten way better recently and the last thing I would boot into windows for was Fusion 360. I spent some time learning FreeCAD and since 1.0 it is way better and now I don't need to boot into Windows anymore. Steam has made leaps and bounds with proton and now I can even game on Linux which is pretty huge. Is Linux perfect? No, but it does everything I need it to.

    People who are staying on Plex, have you tried Jellyfin? What about it do you not prefer? (real question) in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
    [–] 1 point 5 months ago

    Last time I tried it, it wanted my media in a specific file structure, so I ended up having multiple instances of the same show. I could reorder everything but I got a plexpass when it was dirt cheap so I'm not that inclined to reorder everything.

    If I was just starting out, I'd probably use Jellyfin but haven't mostly due to inertia.

    Do you use vim? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
    [–] 4 points 5 months ago

    I used to use vim pretty exclusively, I've since switched to neovim. There have been a few cases where vim/nvim weren't available but regular vi was and I've used it to edit text files. I imagine there were other editors but I'm so accustom to how vi/vim/neovim does things that I can't imagine using anything else. Sometimes someone will try and convince me to use a new editor and I'll try it but generally end up switching back to nvim. Even vi compatibility mode doesn't really help because I use a bunch of plugins.

    Using Taildrop on Linux (programming.dev)
     

    So I use the nemo file browser. I also started using Tailscale recently. I liked the idea of using Taildrop but I wanted a way to not have to use the command line every time. (I don't mind the command line but sometimes, especially for books, I use the file browser). So in ~/.local/share/nemo/actions/taildrop.nemo_action I added the following:

    [Nemo Action]
Name=Send to iPad
Comment=Send file %F to iPad
Exec=sh -c "tailscale file cp %F ipad:"
Icon-Name=edit-copy
Selection=notnone
Extensions=nodirs
Separator=,
Dependencies=tailscale

    Note, you'll want to change ipad to whatever device you want to send files to. But now, I can right click on a file and click Send to iPad and off it goes! You also might need to do sudo tailscale set --operator=$USER first to be able to run as your user. But if you can run tailscale file cp ... in your terminal (without sudo) it should work.

    Of course, it doesn't have to be an iPad, that's just what I have. You can make one for any device you want to send files to.

    After three months on Linux, I don’t miss Windows at all in c/linux@programming.dev
    [–] 2 points 6 months ago

    The only thing windows has for it is compatibility with certain software. Fortunately this gets better and better all the time, being able to run windows software under Linux has been great. Steam with it's proton has done wonders for gaming under Linux.
