Have you considered other distros? I’ve had lots of success with the immutable fedora variants, which offer great stability and NVIDIA drivers in the base system. If you need apt, you create a new Debian container in the box buddy and make that container be your default when opening a terminal.

Gnome variant: https://projectbluefin.io/

KDE variant: https://getaurora.dev/

Gaming variant: https://bazzite.gg/

They are all the same distro with different desktop setup and default apps. You can install one of them and seamlessly switch to another one without losing any data.

Graphene only works on Pixel phones. Graphene is more private and secure, but might be too many issues for people who do not care about such things that much. Lineage has better support for different phone models, and you can make it just like a normal Android OS, that just happens to provide updates for your phone years after the manufacturer stops sending them.

Neither of them is better than the other, it’s just about your priorities. Get Graphene if you have a Pixel and you value privacy and are willing to tinker with it a bit if some apps don’t work.

Add that China theme to the mix.

You’re welcome.

This. I keep following many kinks in the fediverse, but I’m just a quite normie gay cis man myself. It’s important to understand how different people are, and be ok with that.

I’m not the one who’s so far away When I feel the snake bite enter my veins Never did I wanna be here again And I don’t remember why I came

Not a sysadmin, but a programmer. My work machines have been:

• 2003-2008 Windows 7
• 2008-2011 Ubuntu
• 2011-2019 Arch
• 2019-2024 NixOS

Probably going to keep using NixOS. This is a very cool OS.

Steely Dan. The worst part would be I won’t stop talking about the drum solo in Aja.

It is also not really beer.

We’ve been using Linear in my latest company and it is actually quite good. No bullshit fast UI, boards, issues linking with Git, a support that can take a feature request that is often implemented in a week or two after asking it.

Just need to ranch them up.

I run invidious at home on my proxmox server. The server is available everywhere with tailscale, so I can use it even when travelling. If Google ever blocks this, nobody at home can watch youtube anymore…

Yeah. He is pretty horrible. What surprised me though is his daughter’s film company has a pretty solid track record on quality movies and tv series:

But yeah, Larry Elison sucks…

I was joking here a bit, but:

• A big crowd of people has suddenly a lot of weed.
• People in Berlin like to go to bars and like to smoke weed (a fact)
• Suddenly there’s a lot more weed, many people more are smoking it either in the bar (allowed in a few places at least in Neukolln) or outside the bar (about every other place outside Neukolln)
• Fun.

So it was my take on laughing a bit about the winter 2024…

Yeah. I don’t mean that. But how is it going to look like in bars when everybody suddenly has hundreds or so grams of weed…

I’m in Berlin and half of my neighbors have these 3m tall weed plants on their balconies. 3-4 usually, and nobody really cares. I wonder how the winter is going to be when everybody suddenly has half a kilo of weed…

Very cool. When this really works, I might install Haiku to my fun and play laptop…

Does Firefox work with Haiku already?

Ah. And delivered very often in the tiniest possible bottle. One drop of cola that just turns into steam on your tongue.

Where is the kilo of crushed ice and a liter of coke, huh?

I do that all the time.

Yeah. Isn’t it funny that the most popular file system in the world has such a codebase, and it is not even well documented how it works!

I have my reasons to choose XFS or bcachefs with my machines.
