Don’t forget the almighty:

journalctl -fu <servicename>

And yes, I am always reading that as “fuck you, service”.

Yeah, but unfortunately, the keyboard does not look promising.

I’m sure we will get there, eventually. Just an uphill battle… As always.

Hardware wise, we’re basically there. Especially since there’s multiple recently-ist mainstream phones on which you can install Linux.

UI/UX seems to be a nightmare though, plus missing software

Company went “here’s your budget for ordering a laptop. Put on it whatever you want”, and so there’s NixOS running on it :)

(To be fair though: small-ish, tech focused company)

Awesome haha. ALmost exact same setup here, incl. OpnSense with an isolation vlan in which (brother) printer and TV are.

I only use the Nvidia Shield remote. It obviously does everything on the Shield, plus tv on/off, and volume. Then I remapped the Netflix button on it to open a little quick actions menu to select brightness/picture mode levels.

Haven’t touched the lg remote since

Incredible. What a shit idea.

Anyways, kids, remember: never let your smart devices talk to the internet. We actually love our LG OLED - it’s fantastic hardware. But it has not once, and never will, get the chance to phone home.

My favorite math joke to this day is:

How many math professors does it take to change a lightbulb?

The answer is trivial and left as an exercise to the reader.

Do you happen to know how it is with a multi-monitor setup?

I finished setting up Hyprland 2years ago, then learned about the shit community literally the day after being “ah, finally done!” and haven’t found the energy to switch since.

I think we can therefore safely conclude that the shark is also looking at your cheque account.

I feel you.

It made me honestly mad when I switched to Lineage and not only was everything faster, my battery life tripled.

The phone in question was midrange. Sure, not super cheap and I can see how a cheaper one would make it less attractive to repair, but still. (Plus I paid like, 50€ for the screen repair, I think?), and batteries were 15€ from eBay plus 20 minutes of my time.

But this is kinda beside the point: as long as it runs your apps, why upgrade.

squeezing as much life out of your device as possible

FUUUUUCK YOUUUUUUU

Last phone I had for 7 years, through a screen replacement, 2 battery replacements, and a switch to LineageOS.

And I would not even call that “squeezing as much life out of your device as possible”.

Another recmendation for Actual. I spend very little time having to interact with it, because after the initial setup, all transactions are now synched from my bank accounts, and 90% are automatically classified into my categories (not by “AI” or something, you just set rules like “payments to Rewe are always groceries”).

Yeah, all of the above, but also: blacklisting Pinterest from all my searches is almost worth the ten bucks a month on its own, lmao.

No, not really. The imperativity of ansible vs the declarativity of nix actually does make a big difference in practice.

You do not need your fingerprint or any other biometric to use a passkey.

You do not lose access to passkeys when you lose your device.

I can access my password manager via the browser from any device.

You can store Passkeys in open source password managers.

I don’t know most of my passwords, so the step to passkeys doesn’t feel like a big one. I also really like the flow of pressing Login; Bitwarden pops up a prompt without me initiating it; I press confirm. Done, logged in, and arguably more secure due to the surrounding phishing and shared secrets benefits.
