Nice!

We’re just about to cross the 8MWh line for the year.

We don’t have battery backup set up, but we did just get a Ford Lightning with that in mind.

I really need to setup home assistant.

And I helped! With my tiny 15MWh/yr

If you need a half step on your journey, convert your crontab to systemd timers first.

It’s Nvidia that that jumps out in your question.

They are /were notorious for lackluster support on Linux and sleep/wake issues are /were significant.

IIRC you still need to configure a few bits to get it to work properly (maybe just a systems service enable?).

… And it looks like it’s still a constant issue.

My wife has an anaphylactic allergy to whey. I guess we’ll now be waiting for the day she has a reaction to “vegan” milk.

I have a significant colony of false widows (steatoda) around the house. They’re very chill and mostly stay outside and make webs in corners.

Out of curiosity, are the containers that are having issues using non-root users internally? Podman maps your user to root inside the container, so a non-root user can have strange effects.

I had this issue when an image inherited a non-root user upstream.

I think you’d be fine with Bazzite. I have it on my laptop and do more general dev and media things than gaming. I don’t boot to game mode (you can make this selection on iso download). It’s a typical KDE experience that encourages flatpack for apps instead of the traditional package manager.

Random one recently:

Turned my gaming box into an impromptu audio mixer by connecting my PS5 audio into the line in and routing it with pipewire to the speaker output so I could game while watching endurance racing on the same speakers.

Later found it was easier to do visually with qpwgraph.

This is probably my first time ever using it for an appropriate purpose as this team’s technical docs are destined for the press (and digital distribution). They just have no idea how to software, so I was brought in to build bridges between and ultimately simplify all their tools.

https://pdf2docx.readthedocs.io/ seems to fit the bill. I can’t vouch for it.

PDF is such a curse. I say this as a person currently tasked with deploying new mysteriously complex enterprise PDF conversion software for technical documents. The rabbit hole is so deep.

Less junk, fewer things. Less anxiety, fewer panic attacks.

… And I already reached semantic satiation with “fewer.”

You’ve gotten a lot of solid practical advice, so I’ll take it to theory.

Learn how it works and what happens when you push that clutch in and let it out.

Here’s a video with a lot of detail and animation.

I have to give a shout to starship.

I’m in the terminal all day, and with all the context switching from interruptions and meetings, having all the terminal context in my face really helps me settle back into the groove.

Sure there are dozens of other ways to do this, but a little config for a hundred different tools, all of which is customizable, makes it a pretty easy choice for me.

I’ll give a second shout for tig. Ncurses git interface with vim-like navigation makes exploring, staging, stashing, etc. super easy and way faster than the CLI. Certainly not a replacement, but a magical enhancement.

I was made treasurer of the philosophy club by emailing the list at college to join. We met one time because the president and VP were excited someone joined.

There were no funds to manage.

Besides drip, Euki (github) is another option on both the play store and iOS.

Note that both of these options are maintained by tiny teams with limited resources.

They can depreciate these assets over their useful life, because unlike your soggy flesh sack, these are capital expenses, not operating expenses.

… For now. I’m sure there are libertarians that think you should be able to sell yourself as the depreciable asset you are.

Off the top of my head, I think sudo journalctl -xeb -1 should give you some useful error output for the previous boot (after rebooting from a failure).

There’s a --list-boots option if you’ve rebooted a couple times since but aren’t entirely sure.
