I’m not going to share it here because it’s code I’ve written. I’m hiding in my own shame

Articles are mostly AI slop. For a bit YouTube was actually the best way to have information written by an actual person.

Not anymore unfortunately, now I honestly don’t know how to reliably find AI free information online.

About reparability, kobo has a partnership with ifixit for parts and repair guide.

I bought the green because I have too much to do right now and limited bandwidth.

So having something that I can just plug in rather than having to research what kind minipc to buy, such one would work best for home assistant, install it, debug it …

My dishwasher does that. On the Eco cycle it opens the four at the end of the cycle to let it dry

Same for me.

A friend in high school gave me one of these CD, I think it was 7.04.

This is what my ISP provided, a microtik router with openwrt flashed on it

I’m waiting for my MX to die to get one! I really like the idea of open hardware and this looks like a good mouse.

Same for me, I stopped distro-hoping 2 years ago when I moved to NixOS.

It was tough at first, setting it up took a while and i genuinely felt stupid like i haven’t felt for a while; but now I love having the same config on my two laptops. I have one that stays at work and another one for traveling. With one word/line added into my config I can as a software, configure the VPN, change the wallpaper on both my laptop, or not. Some stuff like gaming goes only on the traveling laptop.

Also, another big thing for me is the feeling of having a cleanly built system all the time. I haven’t felt the urge to do a clean reinstall since I started with NixOS.

By installing drivers do you mean: search the manufacturers website online, navigate through all the scam website to try to find the legit one, dig through the website to find your hardware, download a random executable file, execute it, select next next next, no I don’t want to install mcafee, next, install.

I am using remmina daily for work, it is working well for me.

So far I used SweetHome3D, Onshape and Qelectrotech (for electrical) for the renovation of my house.

However if you are planning to do some heavy renovations in your house I would advise you to get an architect to do a proper blueprint of your house and a blueprint of what your house would look like after renovation.

It’s not necessary, it might feel like it’s extra money up front that you don’t use directly for renovation but in a big project you save so much in the long term. This is what we did and there is so many (expensive) mistakes that we avoided because we had an expert eye at the beginning of the project.

I think Nixos and a nas would for your need.

This is what I’m doing, I have two laptop, one for work at my office and one at home for work/hobbies.

I have a nixos config synced on github with all my of is configuration, package list extensions …Some of the config is specific to each laptop like the part related to the hardware and steam, games stuff only on my home computer. The rest is the config is shared and all my files synced on my NAS.

So whenever I change something on one the change is reflected in the other. I really enjoy this setup and I’m thinking of adding my server in it too.

It’s not just for my home server but for EOL or other issues I used bitwarden emergency access options for passwords. Of anything happens to me my wife can request access to my vault and if I don’t deny it in a certain timeframe she will have full access to it.

I did that after my brother in law got in an accident and fell into a coma. I’m very grateful he had all his password saved in chrome on his unlocked laptop because if not it would have made the period insanely more difficult for my sister.

Simple things like paying the bills would I been insanely more difficult and stressful and you don’t need extra stress in this period.

There is the kiwix hotspot.

A WiFi hotspot that gives you access to the entire Wikipedia, medical information, homesteading books …

I just got fiber and my local ISP gave me a microtik router with openWRT installed on it. I’m quite happy with it

The worst is that it will probably increase profit or a quarter or too while running the brand to the ground.

I agree with Nixos as well. Setting it up properly for the first time can take some time but after that it’s very much “forget it”.

It’s interesting to see how much nixos grew over the last 2 years, even though the distribution exists since 2003.

25 years ago the system was setup as a quick temporary solution.
