I was taught they are starchy but that was grade school days and I won't die on this hill. I certainly didn't mean to imply peas were unhealthy. What I found odd is that they are on opposite ends of the pyramid from "whole grains" which is a carb I would personally say is on about the same level as peas overall.

They stopped using the pyramid a longtime ago, but yeah this one isn't bad:

As a pile of (mostly) healthy food it's fine. But as an infographic it completely sucks.

EDIT: It's interesting they would have frozen peas at the top (mostly empty starch) but whole grains at the bottom (assuming the bottom means "sparingly"). Also red meat and butter should not be a large part of anyone's daily calories.

Looks cool, when can we have that tech in a tablet for reading?

Are these the same people that refused to suspend Kiwi Farms and 8chan?

I think your URL to the github is a hyperlink back to this post...

I wish I was never born to hear this, thank you for sharing.

I love the description.

Hey everyone, so you just finished setting up the *Arr stack and your dashboards lookin crisp. But you look at your htop and see... unused RAM. It’s disgusting, isn't it?

Nextcloud is federated?

2025 was the year for me (Fedora Kinoite), Linux in my opinion, is absolutely ready for the mainstream.

I have a feeling most people click the maximum privacy "hide from contacts" option at the start, probably not thinking it through. And that means you wouldn't be able to see them. You can try searching manually as that sometimes seems to find them.

That said, when I asked people who texted me "do you have Signal?" I think about 50% said yes and the other 50% were able to download it without issue.

 
 

I have a button that triggers a script for bedtime to turn off all lights, and, if pressed again, checks to see if all lights are off and if so, turns a few (like the bathroom light) on.

My problem is one or two of the lights (connected via Zigbee2Mqtt) are often powered off at the switch on the lamp, meaning HA still sees them as "on" until the power is restored and they can be turned "off" via the app. The lights cannot be turned "off" (in HA) manually.

Is there any good solution for detecting when a light goes missing and turning it "off" in HA?

 

I've always wanted to find out what happened to that guy but also the mystery is part of what makes it so compelling.

 
 

/c/fuckai has two dozen mods but ironically only time I've ever seen them take action on anyone was when they removed my post asking for recs for a community with more active moderation (lol)

I'd like to discuss generative AI from a highly skeptical perspective but with higher standards of quality and without all the mouth-frothy raging and bad memes of /c/fuckai.

Does anywhere else like that exist on the fediverse? I don't care if it's small/underutilized. And no I'm not interested in creating it myself.

 

I'm trying out LineageOS Android TV for Raspberry Pi 5. There is an option for HDMI-CEC in the menus, but nothing I do can get it working.

I know it's not the Pi, my TV, or my cables because CEC worked immediately with LibreELEC.

The Pi will go into sleep mode when the TV shuts off (even when the setting for that is disabled) so I can tell that something is being communicated. But I don't seem to have any control over it.

Does anyone have any advice for troubleshooting? I've tried power cycling the TV and Pi, unplugging cables, etc.

 

I tried Kodi with Libelec but it's still so jank. The Plex app is broken, there is no invidious or YouTube app I found that works. And sometimes it just "thinks" forever and I need to get up and unplug it.

I saw that Plasma Bigscreen was revived and it looks promising, but they don't have a release yet.

Are there any other options?

 
 
 

Will LineageOS, Graphene and /e/OS be affected by Google's changes to prevent sideloading? Is UbuntuTouch or Sailfish OS promising in the long term?

I understand that right now we are in a bad place, but in your opinion, what OS do you think people who care about freedom should rally around?
