I really like using the PopShell extension on Gnome. I’m hoping it doesn’t die out when Pop moves to their new Cosmic DE. So far I still prefer Gnome.

Fast storage is one of the cheapest components of modern PCs so I’m always surprised when Flatpak file size is brought up. It’s not something I worry about very much.

Consider buying used hardware from an office. Lots of places sell used gear for dirt cheap. A used office desktop with a used GPU from the last 3 years or so would be a massive upgrade without spending much.

Steam Deck is still a good deal for what it is though, but I wouldn’t use it as a primary workstation.

No amount of preparation or warning can prepare you for the sight that is JD Vance’s massive hate-filled titties.

If you’re playing BotW I’d recommend emulating the Wii U version using Cemu. Performance is way better overall but you’ll still need to enable a 60fps mod.

I decided to go ahead and install KOReader and check it out. It’s pretty neat although I can’t find what you’re describing in the settings.

In any case I was hoping to find a way to do this without having to switch to a separate user interface.

How did you set the custom screensavers?

I ran the jailbreak on my Kindle PW6 following the instructions linked here but everything I’m finding when searching how to set custom screensavers is extremely out of date.

Anyone know how to set custom screen idle images after doing this? I’ve been wanting to put ‘Don’t Panic’ on my 6th gen paperwhite since I got it but it’s so locked down that wasn’t possible.

Any chance you’d be willing to share playbooks or point me toward any resources you used?

I use Ansible to manage config across all my workstations/servers but I haven’t gotten around to automating log shipping yet or aggregating system metrics.

The five node limit is a dealbreaker for me too. I’m also annoyed the free version doesn’t have any real built in options to secure data by default. I followed a TechnoTim tutorial to get the NetData/Prometheus/Grafana stuff setup but it was too limited and required too much manual effort.

I’m in a pretty bad fucking mood but I kind of figured that was more my problem.

Maybe next time they’ll lose by even less! That’s about the best progress I can hope for in this country in my lifetime.

A couple of multi-millionaires would pay you to stop and then you’d implode.

Still a net win for everyone else though, I support this.

I’d take it. Truly mastering any single skill is almost certainly beyond my ability anyway.

I’m only okay at some things so being okay at all things is a total win.

I learned to write scripts on Windows Powershell and got spoiled by everything being an object so when I started writing bash scripts I think 90% of the work is trying to parse the raw text output of commands with things like awk or sed.

Soak in some gorgeous views and learn about your local waterways. Reconnect with the land around you.

Good advice while those things last I guess.

A republican majority lead by an authoritarian effectively ends any possibility that climate change can be slowed or reversed within any of our lifetimes. Don’t think of it as the hottest summer on record… think of it as the coolest summer of the rest of your life.

He’ll executive action everything and bypass the legislature entirely. Who will stop him? The courts?

Yeah this is one of those things where accessibility settings can probably get you 90% there but screenshots and machine learning can probably close the gap somewhat reliably (even if it’s much less efficient).

The more I learn about Valve culture the more I realize they definitely have teams just throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks. I bet there are some really wild prototypes that we never get to see.

Running games at 800p targeting 40fps is a lot more viable than I would have expected just looking at the numbers. It looks great for a display that size and 40fps feels like it’s a lot closer to 60fps than it really is.

I get why people using it as their primary gaming device would want more power but as a secondary device for me it’s stellar.
