Soak in some gorgeous views and learn about your local waterways. Reconnect with the land around you.

Good advice while those things last I guess.

A republican majority lead by an authoritarian effectively ends any possibility that climate change can be slowed or reversed within any of our lifetimes. Don’t think of it as the hottest summer on record… think of it as the coolest summer of the rest of your life.

He’ll executive action everything and bypass the legislature entirely. Who will stop him? The courts?

Bazzite works so well out of the box that I don’t even have to think about drivers.

Maybe not a genuine fear but as a kid when I imagined what might be lurking in the dark it was aliens. On a farm out in the country, in the house at night with curtains open you’d just see darkness outside and the starry sky. Sometimes I’d see that green reflective glow of animal eyes in the dark or something moving out in the fields. Walking through the farm at night the space beyond the doors of the big shed loomed dark and ominous. Who’s to say there aren’t watchful eyes of intelligent creatures, curious and malicious, ready to grab you at any moment.

I have yet to have any success with Bottles but I assume it’s because I don’t know what I’m doing and I’m trying with software known to be difficult.

I remote into a Windows PC for Fusion 360 and Affinity suite but if I could get those working on Linux I’d be in really good shape.

Lemmy is definitely the most pain in the ass service that I self host. Most annoyingly when something goes wrong I can’t just go on Lemmy until I feel like fixing it.

I’ve not tried GPT4ALL but Ollama combined with Open WebUI is really great for selfhosted LLMs and can run with podman. I’m running Bazzite too and this is what I do.

I see there is an m.2 slot too with what looks to be a Kingston SSD.

I’m still confused what era this laptop is from. It might be a SATA m.2.

I got a pizza steel and it’s been a game changer. Now I make full sized pizzas at home and they are delicious.

Wayland was subject to “first mover disadvantage” for a long time. Why be the first to switch and have to solve all the problems? Instead be last and everyone else will do the hard work for you.

But without big players moving to it those issues never get fixed. And users rightly should not be forced to migrate to a broken system that isn’t ready. People just want a system that works right?

Eventually someone had to decide it was ‘good enough’ and try an industry wide push to move away from a hybrid approach that wastes developer time and confuses users.

I’ve had exactly this happen to me. It was my own fault but it took a bit of work figure out.

Unironically Powershell is great and learning it has propelled me through the last 12 years of my career as a Sysadmin. My biggest complaints with it are generally Windows complaints or due to legacy powershell modules.

No need to optimize when you can just push people to upgrade their hardware more frequently so you make fat stacks of cash from OEM’s.

Linux has been easier to install than Windows for a while now, particularly with all the goofy hacks you have to pull out just to make an offline account on Win11.

I’ve been using ZFS now for a few years for all my data drives/pools but I haven’t gotten brave enough to boot from it yet. Snapshotting a system drive would be really handy.

I thought it was just a meme.

I see way more complaints about ‘elitist Arch users’ than I ever do comments from actual elitist Arch users.

I thought we’d already collectively settled on the tinfoil hat.

They also specifically warn that it’s not optimized for a VM right now. It’s still not quite ready on bare metal, but less so in a VM.

House of the Dead: Overkill on the Wii.

Genuinely has a great (and hilarious) soundtrack.

Bazzite has finally got me to pay attention to Fedora derivatives again for the first time in like 15 years.
