Work: RustRover on MacOS Personal: RustRover on Bazzite

Mainly language support plugins: Python, .env, mermaid

I’ve found LocalSend really nice for this purpose. If you need to send stuff over your wifi to other devices but not sync it in the background it’s really nice

Thunderbolt is exactly that.

Thunderbolt 2 and Mini Displayport used to have the same connector. Since Thunderbolt 3, it now uses the USB C connector.

Thunderbolt 5 supports Displayport 2.1. I wish more devices used Thunderbolt compatible USB C ports. Or GPUs came with a Thunderbolt port on them. They’re pretty awesome, it’s like better USB C.

It seems like only laptops really use them to allow docking through a single cable

This. Even if you were going to run a bare metal server it’s almost always nicer to install Proxmox and just have a single VM

That’s a really good idea. Something like OpenWrt but for printers would be amazing.

It’s funny, they have their own hardware now. Maybe starting with a open source printer firmware would eventually lead to open source printer hardware.

I’ve always thought it was interesting we have open source 3D printers but with how often 2D printers break and how expensive ink is no one has made an open source 2D printer. It’s nice to see some progress in this field

This reminds me of a question I saw a couple years ago. It was basically why would you stick with bare metal over running Proxmox with a single VM.

It kinda stuck with me and since then I’ve reimaged some of my bare metal servers with exactly that. It just makes backup and restore/snapshots so much easier. It’s also really convenient to have a web interface to manage the computer

Probably doesn’t work for everyone but it works for me

I’m running a self hosted Gitlab instance right now but thinking of switching to Forgejo. Anyone tried both and have thoughts on each?

Pinball Deluxe Reloaded

It’s a fun little time waster, I like that I don’t have any ads on it either

I switched to Firefox from Chrome back when they were branding it as Firefox Quantum and honestly I have been happy with it. It has been just as fast as Chrome if not faster, it might use more memory but unused memory means your computer could be caching more.

I don’t love the stuff Mozilla has been doing recently but it’s not enough to make me switch. I think the brand redesign in 2024 was pretty horrible, moz://a was genius design compared to the P thing they have now. I think they have also been chasing AI stuff recently. Mozilla has done some pretty cool things in the past though like Rust, Servo and Fluent.

Whenever you are killing time, time is also killing you

I’ve always heard this as “You can lead a horse to water but you can’t force it to drink”

WASM in the browser is cool but I think WASI is going to be the big game charger to come out of WASM

I’ve never really understood the argument against headphone jacks. I can still use Bluetooth headphones with my phone. I can also use wired headphones and aux cables on my phone. Why would you want less features

You might like Bazzite. Its like a general purpose version of SteamOS with layering and printers

If this had cellular connectivity it could actually be a pretty cool phone. The battery life is probably good too

I switched to Bazzite on my main PC at the start of September and it’s been great. I only use Windows for steam link vr streaming
