I’d like some specific examples of what you originally described please, not just a general “China makes everything” as if that proves anything.

China makes everything because Western companies sought to maximise profit.

Costs go up, because the Western companies selling the Chinese-made product put the price up to maximise profit.

You don’t get to outsource everything and charge top dollar for it, then cry to the government that you need protection when the Chinese companies start competing in the same market with the same product for cheaper.

Where has this happened?

How many TSLA shares are you holding?

I don’t think you’re allowed to boil trans people alive either

Feels like this is the sort of important information OP should have included in their post.

You can get it replying to a post on Lemmy You can get it telling a Karen on Facebook she’s a cow You can get it why old how As a matter of fact, I’ve got it now

That theme song is my Pavlov bell. I need a few pints, and a kebab.

Buy used enterprise hardware for cheap, install Unraid, dip your toes in… Then if you enjoy tinkering, evolve from there.

Unraid does everything I want so I’ve kinda plateaued for the moment.

I just assumed it was the US

Irfanview https://www.irfanview.com/

It’s literally one of the only reasons I’m still using Windows.

No other image viewer is as fast and as useful.

Lots of risk for no financial gain, they should have taken something worth money at least.

Signed up for Lemmy, participated in things I was interested in.

If you’re that addicted to Reddit just stay there. I hate this “please beg me to stay” crap that goes on pretty frequently.

Irfanview, MYOB, and a lack of virtual file system in Nextcloud.

I run Nextcloud for this. Never understood the complaints about it, I find it hard to believe everyone’s so short of CPU power that Nextcloud is anything more than a rounding error running in the background.

There’s half a dozen of us using it for shared calendars, files, and contacts.

Currently around 6TB of files, a couple of hundred or so contacts in the shared contacts list, and many recurring (and one off) events.

Been working perfectly since before Nextcloud forked from OwnCloud.

I was there for the premiere… Season 1, Episode 1… I laughed because they referenced funny nerd things! It’s a sitcom that I’ll get inside jokes on! Oh boy this is going to be amazing!

By episode 3 I realised it was not going to be amazing. By episode 6 I was out.

I have no idea how many sessions they are up to now but if I happen to stumble upon it I legitimately can’t work out what’s meant to be funny. If there was no laugh track you wouldn’t even know jokes are happening.

Australians are not happy with BYDs, even after only 2 years.

I’m Australian with a BYD and I still like ours.

I’ve been using Nextcloud since it forked from OwnCloud (… and used OwnCloud before that). It’s gone from a VPS, to bare metal on dedicated hosting, and now self hosted as a docker container because we’ve finally got fibre internet.

I’ve got around 6TB or so hosted for my small business, with shared directories for different levels of file access, shared contact lists, shared calendars, and a publicly accessible area for things like email attachments (works with a Thunderbird plugin to automatically host and link large attachments with a password) and uploads from customers (they can only upload, no viewing or deleting).

It’s incredible, and I’ve never had the issues people complain so much about. The worst I ever experienced was using snap and occasionally an automatically updated version simply wouldn’t work… So I’d just roll back to the last version and manually update a few months later when I remembered.

Currently using the Nextcloud AIO docker image which includes Borg backups. They get stored on another disk to Nextcloud, which gets automatically backed up to Crashplan.

Because I’d rather be right than win. Nice to be both, but the former is a higher priority for me.
