Windows 2000 was good, and the last version i used voluntary. Win 8 the last version i had to use. Not going to change that as long as I can.

I would recommend the newest Pixel for your price range. It will get updates for longer. The a model is the cheapest option, and they are usually good enough.

2024-09-08 17:32:09

Proxmox and umbrel free. It was a good time and I've learned a lot this past year, but my new setup is just simple and straightforward. More time for other stuff. I still run a now non virtualized start9 diy. Let's see for how long.

Seems like the password manager pass has not many mobile users, which is sad. I've found only two apps, pass for iOS and passwordstore for android, but they seem quite abandoned. At least on android it somehow works and the older version even supports Yubico keys. On iOS I gave up.

i missed to post this when i discovered it, but maybe interesting: lockdown mode on macos x breaks the 1password safari plugin. it still works on all other browsers tho. and if i understand it correctly, this will not be fixed. reminds me of the signal attitude.

apparently, it will be fixed on warranty, but it will take about 10 days. i'm speechless.

a while back, i decided to leave the apple ecosystem. not at once, but slowly as the devices become unusable. well, seems like apple wants to speed up the process as my barely 2y old mbp just died. new durability low bar.

i really like my framework, but getting the battery drainage under control is a never ending quest. my best experience for now on fedora silverblue is with powertop and tuned. and by removing the unused expansion cards. who would have guessed that.

Japan is awesome. Very happy to be here again. Would have been even nicer if nostrasia would happen now 😃 Nevertheless, without knowing Japanese it's sometimes hard. Falling back to evil Google translate/lens quite often as soon we leave tourist zones.

After some tinkering it works even with mullvad as exit nodes, but mullvad is not a good solution for streaming. I should have checked that earlier.

I switch between apps depending on the context. Most apps have some aspects that make it perfectly fitting for a specific task, but get in your way in others. Another reason is compartmentalization: one browser per work project, one for research, and one for the rest. This keeps everything neatly separated. With this strategy I get the most out of my affliction, I can tinker when a new challenge appears and I don't know how the handle it the best way yet, but for known tasks I have a system that already works.

2023-12-22 19:44:10

I've installed nfty so uptime kuma can alert me in case something fails. As I have it running anyways now, it shouldn't really hurt if I also use it for Amethyst, right?

2023-12-22 09:57:44

I've learned that with syncthing, untrusted devices do not only transmit E2E encrypted, but also store the data encrypted. So the only problem that remains is how to handle multiple users. Any suggestions? #asknostr

2023-12-19 19:47:45

Does anyone know an app like syncthing, but with multiple user support. Even better with E2E encryption. I don't want to set up a nextcloud instance as I only need file sync.

The Pixel a-models are quite good actually and have a good price point. I bough this 6a as soon as the first promotion came out, so well over a year. I wouldn't consider that as breaking in a month, just the battery shouldn't be a thing I have to think about at that age. The thing is, I don't know if this is a widespread issue or only affecting me. I'll swap the battery probably sooner than later and good to go for longer. Definitely not a reason to buy a new device.

I've uninstalled Damus after it kept loosing my relays regularly. As I'm leaving the walled garden anyway, there was no compelling reason to put any more time into figuring out what was happening. I really liked it tho. Maybe we'll meet on Android someday, but until then, Amethyst looks like my mobile client for now.

My kids started using linux notebooks nearly a year ago. For a time in parallel to their macBooks. Meanwhile, the macs are gone. One is even using sway as wm and doesn't want to go back even tho, many things would be easier for him, but he chose to learn and use the command line.
