Measuring RAM usage is extremely tricky, because programs will use more than they need, if there is lots of unused RAM available. Check out https://www.linuxatemyram.com if you want to learn more.

For me KDE Plasma uses over a gig on my main PC after a fresh boot. But it also ran perfectly fine on a 512MB ancient laptop.

There are many options, but I’d say on those specs anything will run more or less fine with some tweaks/settings.

Personally I would go with KDE Plasma, because I feel most comfortable with it. It can be pretty light on system ressources when configured properly. Disable all the visual stuff (animations, blur, anti aliasing) and some of it’s background modules (baloo and some other stuff that you personally don’t need).

But you should take the one you are familiar with and find out how you can tweak it to be more light. Cheers

I typed in the exact words I would type if I had your question and the first three results were the answer you were looking for.

How can “search engines” suck any less than this?

No need for personal attacks btw. cheers

Just use a search engine and type “wifi icon number 6”

It’s ugly, but useful.

(unlike me, I am ugly and useless /s)

One more good plugin in this line is Chameleon https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/chameleon-ext/

How are we supposed to give you feedback if we can’t play the game yet, since it is not released?

With a Blazor (serverside mode) project you could have that with a nice user experience. Blazor has a tiny js which initializes something, otherwiss it renders the site on the server and sends the component updates to the browser, so the whole site does not need to reload, only the relevant components (which is kind of interesting).

Maybe there is some blazor serverside e-commerce project out there, I wouldn’t personally recommend it though.

Well, I don’t think thats what OP had in mind but there is WebAssembly as well.

For the site itself the most minimal thing you can do is an html file.

Then some software to act as the “server” that serves that file to a visitor. (nginx, caddy, apache - there are many options).

And your domain needs a domain record which points to your server.

As you want to use a home pc, you need to figure out whether your ISP gives you a dynamic or static IP.

If static, you can just use that.

If dynamic, you’d need some service like dynDNS to keep pointing your domain to your changing IP.

Is it biological exploitation for food companies to monopolize on our taste buds?

Yes. Thats the only reason why there is so much sugar in everything. Which is rather unhealthy, but we keep eating it because sugar makes us want it.

I once talked with a colleague from the data-analysis field. Apparently the company they work at is somewhat in the legally grey area.

They advised other companies on hiring candidates, by scraping all possible data about them online (which included buying anonymized advertising data and correlating it to all their publically available data and the data from the application). Using that, they claim to predict worker motivation, loyalty, how often they are sick, their political alignment, what their acceptable rate is, if they are going to ask for a raise, how well they work under pressure and much much more.

Since hearing it this has basically become my thread model.

As I am writing this, I realize that it is probably time to delete my Lemmy account and never post here again lol

Honest question, but I couldn’t help but package it sarcastically:

How would you report that? Catch the drone and ask who it’s owner is? Ask the police to do a 100 man wide area search around your house?

There used to be a kickstarter project that wanted to create that, but as a physical clock on the wall.

It was supposed to able to show your daily activities. But the key aspect was a 24h clock and visual presentation of day and night times.

I forgot what it was called.

Edit: found it, it was the life-clock, but there is nearly no matetial online on it nowadays.

My professional computer is given by my company, I don’t have to buy anything for it. I don’t even think IT would allow me to run Linux on it 😅.

For my personal computer I make the choices.

I get a kick from not buying Nvidia

Well, I hate human faces on youtube video thumbnails.

I want to see a preview of the content instead of being biologically exploited into clicking on it.

I did this a while back for blocking LLMs and there are more methods discussed in that threads comments.

Nobody mentioned it yet, but my current no hassle solution is to:

just physically move the nvme from one computer to the other
