I’m not following. I understand how Gas Buddy works (crowd sourced data entry), but how does that preclude free and open source software? For example, look at OpenStreetMap, open license database w/ a whole ecosystem of free and open source apps built around it.

raspberry pi and an HDD with family (remote)

Is this the way to go for off-site backups w/ family? In terms of low power draw, uptime, etc.

Thanks for the tip about JetKVM. Does the JetKVM device itself require an ethernet connection to the router or can it connect over wifi? (from what I can tell, it’s the former)

Thanks for confirming. Your understanding is correct, I just want a way to grab some “clean” screenshots or videos of the laptop while it’s in boot or BIOS parts of the system. I have a video capture card in my “cart” but thought I’d put this out there to the lemmyverse before I smash that “Buy” button.

EDIT: I ordered this video capture card, we’ll see how it goes!

Clown take. This comment would make a lot more sense if the original post were made by some cry baby throwing a tantrum after getting spawn camped; however, in this case, the original post is spreading the word about how and where a product’s dev team can be reached going forward (and how/where they cannot be reached anymore). We very much need these kinds of announcements.

Does your group ever use video calls and/or screen sharing?

So Mumble for voice chat and Matrix for text chat?

When you say traffickers joined your rooms to post spam, how did they find you? Is it like email where they can just try every possible email address at a particular domain or was your room posted publicly on your website or something and that’s how they found you?

In general, I downvote content with shitty or incomplete titles.
