Yeah but what if I want to bbq my steak instead of microwaved it? There’s no soul to microwaved steak… Or whatever it is the anti EV crowd bust out.
They definitely need a different brandname if they’re going to be selling these outside of China though 😬 Why not just stick with BYD?

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.
I think I’ve just reduced social media participation in general.
I still browse a lot but with so much AI bollocks and rage bait and engagement farming and any other manner of “fake stuff pretending to be real stuff” going on it just doesn’t seem worth it to actually participate much.

I never had any success using Nextcloud with any type of cloud storage. It was always slow as molasses, even by normal Nextcloud standards.
I just bought a JBOD and store the data myself locally, with a remote backup instead.
I believe it is cheaper long term this way, though with energy costs on the up and up that may not always be the case. Does mean I have super fast access to the content when I want it though.
I’ve got 30x4TB disks, just because second hand enterprise gear is so cheap. I’ll slowly replace the 4TB SAS with larger capacity SATA to make use of the spin down functionality of unraid. I don’t need the extra speed of SAS and I wouldn’t mind saving a few watt-hours.
(I’m just shy of 500tb and my server holds 38 disks.)
That means every one of your disks is >13TB? That’s expensive!
I love healthchecks. It’s so simple and easy to incorporate in to… anything much?
I’ve run Nextcloud since OwnCloud was the only option, with zero issues on any setup - be it direct, via snap, or via docker.
(EDIT: Out of interest I looked up the first subdomain I can remember using - it sent my username the login details in February 2015 so that’s over a decade now!).
On a cheap VPS, a dedicated box, and now self hosted since I finally have a decent enough connection to support it. Ran out of storage on the VPS, then the 4TB dedicated box, now on 120TB self hosted (Nextcloud only using around 6TB mind you). CPU and RAM were never an issue.
Mostly documents (PDF, ODS, ODT), photos and videos from jobs, and some people (myself included) use the storage to back up their phone gallery.
I use shared and private folders, shared and private calendars, and shared and private contact lists on Android, iOS, and PCs (Windows and Linux). I have a public upload directory for customers to send us files and often share files directly using expiring read only links.
It’s easy and it works, no idea wtf people are doing to have so much drama with it.
I’ve got 512GB of RAM in my server, and 128GB of RAM on my desktop cause you can never have too much.
People who care about the environment should probably be breeding this things on a large scale and releasing them in heavily populated areas.
I’m not even a member of lemm.ee and was aware of it closing today*

But the rebadged Honda vehicles are always sub-par
Cause they weren’t Hondas.
Makes me wonder why they do it? Why put your badge on something that is objectivity worse than what you can do?
I assume it’s to test the market for viability or something, but it just devalues the brand and makes me less willing to consider it even if a “real” one is released.
I’m on Tildes, and it’s a good site for discussion without the constant memes and accusations of everyone being a communist / not communist / slightly communist / whatever else seems to get thrown around on Lemmy.
Not real sure why RIF dude chose that site to write an app for though. The site itself is basically exactly the same as the app. Very clean, very simple, no wasted space. It’s even better than old.reddit at prioritising content over pretty pictures.
Lemmy would benefit much more from a RIF app, even if Voyager and the like do a pretty good job as it stands.
Pros:
• Unbeatable bang for buck (a luxury sedan that does 0-100kph in 3.8 seconds for under 70kAUD including on roads!)
• Stupidly comfortable to drive (no noise, no rattles, all the bells and whistles)
• Cheap to run, especially if you charge at home. I use a smart plug with the supplied granny charger so it only charges during free or cheap power times. This means the most it will cost to fill my “tank” - even assuming it only charges in the cheap period with no free usage at all - costs the equivalent of 1c per kilometre.
• Cheap to service (about $150 per 20,000k for the Performance model, less for the lower spec versions)
• No noise or stink if you’re parked waiting somewhere. I really notice how obnoxious my diesel is by comparison if I’m outside it.
Cons:
• Everyone else is so damn slow to take off by comparison. It’s just a constant source of frustration being stuck behind old sootybois paddling through their gears as their oil burner slowly gets to a point where it makes enough torque to get moving, only to run out of rpm and have to do it all over again using a new ratio.
• Doing stuff like touching fuel bowsers feels about a million times more disgusting now, and spending $100 AUD in one go to only travel 600k (or less) is rage inducing.
• Car noises in general are crazy frustrating now. It’s just constantly some revving, or backfiring, or turbo whooshes, or engines screaming, or some other unnecessary audible pollution. When I was participating I didn’t notice as much, but now that we’re rolling dead silent it’s really obvious.
ETA: because apparently it’s not immediately obvious: /s
I can’t stand that you have to add a /s to an obviously sarcastic comment just because no one in currentyear can apply critical thinking skills.
I wanted a Model 3, but by the time I could afford to buy the Performance model it turned out Musk was a dickhead. Couldn’t bring myself to buy something with his aura around it, no matter how good or goodn’t the car itself might be.
Then I found the BYD Seal - which also comes in a Performance model - for a comparative price. Also it comes with a HUD and indicators+wipers on stalks. And its subjectively a better looking car anyway.
So I bought one. Now every time Musk does something stupid I can say “wow, what a dickhead” and not feel like I’m letting “”“my team”“” down.
But for some reason every time Tesla fails to deliver, their stock price goes up?
Then when BYD delivers what Tesla promised, it’s Tesla’s stock price that goes up again.
Like every other announcement of something that’s %100$ definitely going to happen from this bloke, I’ll believe it when I see it.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me every quarter since 2016…
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.
