Mixed environment, bunch of windows servers and a bunch of Linux servers. I currently run NixOS on my company owned Framework laptop, with the caveat that I have to deal with or work around any weirdness that comes up.

I've been wanting for a while now to fix up my config (weird sleep waking issues, broken hibernate, implement full disk encryption) or maybe switch to Fedora. Just haven't had the time.

Remmina is great for RDP, OnlyOffice preserves Microsoft office formatting well, KDE's network manager has working VPN connections for Cisco and Palo Alto, and I do a lot from the browser (email, O365 admin,etc).

There is friction, though. As mentioned the sleep issues. Never fun getting to a site and finding a hot, dead laptop in my bag because it decided to wake up and not go back to sleep.

For things that HAVE to be done in Windows I have a VM I haven't powered on in a months or two, and a "tech" server to rdp to with more network access.

I'd also like to get more familiar with Nix. I can handle system settings and packages from the Nix repositories, but packaging my own software is something I'd like to learn (software and printer drivers for Ubuntu/fedora, etc).

But now the college’s IT/security team doesn’t have to deal with that particular piece of spyware on their network, which is a step in the right direction.

Yeah, shame on him for going out of his way to provide helpful information for people, as a direct response to someone who asked for it!

Haven't watched the video yet. Headphone jack? Edit: yes headphone jack!

Also, is ASUS's update policy still 2 years? That's a hard sell.

If you’re at all into Minecraft, EthosLab is the gold standard for low-key, super interesting, and not driven by money videos. He’s not small, but he’s worth mentioning in case anyone hasn’t heard of him.

Personally, I carry a pen knowing that it will one day be lost. Long before it runs out of ink, it will become someone else's. Or broken.

I've never used a single pen long enough without losing or breaking it to need to refill it.

Absolutely. The beauty of nature is incredible, and being able to enjoy it is important to me. Not to mention there’s not as many people around to mess things up, make things loud/dirty, or be crowded by.

That's pretty standard Title Caps convention.

Yeah, DNS blocking is quite effective for not just ads, but also telemetry on Roku.

Personally, I use nextdns until I can can a good pihole setup going.

I'd be interested in trying the system this guy is talking about. Anyone know if Eloquent is installable at this point?

That's decent I guess. Might be a worthy upgrade from my Pixel 3a.

It's not healthy to be alone forever. Humans need community of some kind (hopefully in person.)

That said, quitting social media is totally possible. Humans have lived without it for the vast majority of our societal existence.

Going to have to hard disagree with you there. Puns only ever get funnier the longer you go and the harder you have to try.

And when they finally do wear out, send them in for a brand new pair!

What's the reasoning behind needing username/password? I'm a bit nervous handing that out.

Not sure how current it is, but LinuxBBQ has a live CD (Cream) with a bunch of WMs installed that you can easily switch between.

Very true. Mostly just haven't had the time. Also want to set up a little home server to play around with Proxmox and move Jellyfin off my main PC.

Like what happened in Pasadena, 1994.

Titles of books, movies, and other works; names of periodicals and magazines; chapter headings; and titles of articles and blog posts are usually capitalized using title case. Sentence-case capitalization is used for second-level headings and lower.

News headlines have traditionally been capitalized using title case, although these days, sentence case is often used, especially online.

From here. Seems like title case or sentence case is fine and both are used.

Great tip, thanks! Gotta say, as rough around the edges as Jerboa is sometimes, I'm really impressed with how well it handles most things already! A few months of refining UI/UX will result in a really solid app.

I respect your opunion. Hopefully there will continue to be something for everypun. :)
