I have one. No dead pixels. It doesn’t necessarily do fancy things but that’s sort of why I got it. $30 and it tells the time, shows me notifications and lasts over a week before I have to charge it. Eeeeevery now and then I’ll use it to control media or play 2048. Hey it even counts my steps!

Doesn’t look like it currently supports powershell or bash. I don’t code but I do a fair bit of scripting. I’ve played a tiny bit with AI assisted scripting but it’s generally left a lot to be desired.

I always thought Ziggy was a cool name.

Definitely for you to decide, but if you’re on a desktop in a single family home you’re probably fine. A laptop that you bring around with you I would highly advise against. I would probably also evaluate what other functions the computer serves. Just gaming or also do you do your job on that machine. What else does that machine have access to?

Ha I saw that

I think the KDE vs Gnome thing in general for a lot is familiarity, but I gotta say as a primarily Gnome user, I find Dolphin harder(or maybe less intuitive) to use. It’s not bad, and in a number of ways I would agree is absolutely superior to Nautilus, but for whatever reason, between the two, I generally would prefer Nautilus.

wouldn’t that be chili sin carne?

I primarily use logseq but have obsidian configured to use the same directory. I then use logseq for journaling and some tag notes that have searches and links kind of built in. Then I have obsidian for wiki or KB type notes. I can then link to parts of that in logseq. I also use obsidian for a few niche situations where the plugins add value. Its not a perfect solution but it works pretty well for me. I also typically use obsidian to folder directory organize my non journal notes, bit really you could just as easily use your file browser for that.

It’s only been around for less than a year as far as I’m aware and from what I gather still seems to be finding its sea legs as far as balancing between what rolls in immediately(ish) and what comes in through the big “tumbles”

I miss Unity. It never got the love it deserved from a praise nor development standpoint. My typical Gnome desktop typically ends up being a quasi-Unity layout. I need to spin up the latest Ubuntu Unity spin for nostalgia’s sake.

in fstab, there’s a nofail option that I started using when mounting NFS and other disks that may be missing and I don’t want to kill my bootup

main thing to note is that NFS is an object based storage (acts like a share) where iSCSI is block based (acts like a disk). You’d really only use iSCSI for things like VM disks, 1:1 storage, etc. For home use cases unless you’re selfhosting (and probably even then) you’re likely gonna be better off with NFS.

if you were to do iSCSI I would recommend its own VLAN. NFS technically should be isolated too, but I currently run NFS over my main VLAN, so do what ya gotta do

I would just append that judging people is a good thing, often blanket misinterpreted as a bad thing. You should make an initial judgement upon meeting someone (it doesn’t really matter, your subconscious will anyway). The important part is being willing to update that judgement based on learning more.

Subbed. Just curious as to how (or if) you intend to differentiate yourself from the Jupiter Broadcasting team’s Selfhosted.show podcast?

Pinetime isn’t the most robust of smartwatches, but I would say it fits the bill.

Yeah. I often kick myself for getting an nvidia card. My former distro was Ubuntu so I’m familiar with it from that end. I can see how having a constantly updating kernel could cause pain with the nvidia drivers. Even on leap or Ubuntu any tine the nvidia drivers updated it took a fair bit of extra time for regular apt/zypper processing kernel stuff and whatnot.

im going to keep a sharp eye on slowroll. I might be crazy enough to (eventually) try to convert from leap 15.5 to tumbleweed to slowroll. If it all blows up I was probably going to have to do that anyway.

Tell me more about your Tumbleweed+NVIDIA problems. I’m on Leap 15.5, but with all this I’ve thought about moving over to Tumbleweed or Fedora. My card is NVIDIA, so I’m not looking for a big headache.

Plex probably isn’t the best example, but yes, you can use Tailscale to create a sort of mesh network to access devices within private networks. Essentially any device that’s connected to tailscale can be contacted by other clients connected to tailscale. There are extra routing things you can do to use a tailscale device as a sort of “exit node”, but that’s the basic gist.

I don’t think it’s necessarily universal in US libraries either. I’m not in a big city, but overall our library system is pretty good. They have a number of branches with “maker labs” so there are things like Cricuts, sewing machines, laser cutters, audio recording/production equipment and 3D printers you can rent. I’d recommend at least checking around.

Neat! (As a non-Steam Deck owner but eyeing with desire) I hadn’t thought about putting Plex on it.
