They don’t care about hypocrisy.

I just want the GOP to get absolutely pummeled for once so we can move the overton window back in the right direction. No I don’t like the dems. Yes I will vote for them every time as they represent the closest to what I want.

I loved the puzzle dungeons of the previous games. The shrines feel like just puzzles, with no real dungeon.

When he first started he used Pop!_OS and an issue with their packages uninstalled the DE when he tried to install steam which was a really terrible look. A bug which I believe wasn’t present in any other debian/ubuntu based distro. He then moved to Manjaro, an Arch-based distro, and just had more problems with hardware.

I wish they’d try again and just use a user-friendly distro with more momentum behind it and stability, and realistically that means Ubuntu or Mint. Or take a tour through desktop environments, package managers, and what the differences between distros actually are.

FOSS is a really big reason to run Linux. In ten years you can trust that your Linux install will be running and up to date. In ten years there’s a non-zero chance Microsoft will have moved to a forced subscription model for Windows.

It also just runs faster, can fully update itself and all installed software with a few button clicks or one terminal command, and has tons of options for people who have more technical skill.

Related to OP’s question: is it possible to have the 1B boot from something other than an SD card?

I ran it as a PiHole for awhile, until it chewed through two SD cards. I’d like to use it for the GPIO functionality but I don’t want have it randomly crap out again.

I have been using KeePass for eight years. Used to just shuffle the file around with Google Drive, now I have it sync’d with Syncthing across a few devices. I use its notes feature to store associated data like S3 keys and it stores my SSH key and KeePassXC can automatically add it to an SSH agent.

I don’t really have any complaints about it.

Docker cp piped into restic, uploading to wasabi. Works well, I recently recovered from a hard drive failure and everything just worked.

Avoiding corporate software companies and abandoning established communities on principle isn’t something your average person does. Also, wrapping your head around the Fediverse, even if the sign-up process is as simple as other platforms, can be an obstacle for most people.

Yep. Used to be my fiance’s college laptop.

Works for me, running about 30 containers. The Philips hub has recently been replaced by a Conbee II

I have a backup script that runs every morning and I had it send a notification with ntfy on how many errors/warnings occurred. With backups it’s important to actually know your backups are working.

I also have it report battery voltage and health every so often, which should hopefully give me advance warning of a spicy pillow in my laptop server.

Vikunja is a todo-app I enjoy quite a bit, but it only has email notifications. I made a script that runs every 15 minutes that reads all the tasks from the Vikunja API and sends me reminders or overdue tasks, and ntfy allows me to configure buttons on the notification which allows me to mark things done without having to open Vikunja.

It’s a pretty good tool for anywhere you would want notifications.

In Linux it is possible to turn the screen off after a timeout and keep the system on with the lid closed.

Vikunja has become my whole life todo list app and I throw server stuff on there too. I’ve enjoyed it quite a bit.

Most BIOS allow you to set a charge cap to the battery. 60% is a good number for something that will always be plugged in.

But if you can just take it out that’s fine too, but not having to buy a UPS is a nice bonus to laptop servers
