Andy Cooks - amazing chef, easy to follow recipes (he uses metric first), but also a nice, down to earth, no-nonsense guy.

I’m relistening to Max Brooks’ “Zombie Survival Guide” while commuting and High Howey’s “Dust” (from the Silo trilogy) when I can focus. I managed to listen to 15 books this year so far, and I am really proud of myself for that. :)

We’re using a self hosted Nexus instance at work. You probably don’t need all the features it offers, but it does its job really well. For free, too.

Luke Smith was on my watch list when he was talking about DWM. WTF happened to the guy?

I use Netcup. Reliable, simple, great deals from time to time (such as Black Friday).

Fuzzel works great for me on Hyprland.

I track my movie and TV show watchlists with trakt.tv. it’s connected to my jellyfin and *arr stack.

I don’t game so that’s of no interest to me. I use Kavita/mylar3 for comic books, audiobookshelf/readarr and storygraph for audiobooks. for music I use last.fm, again connected to my jellyfin server (with symfonium as a client).

Check your pms.

That guide is great. Also, you can easily find some extra ram on eBay or Kleinanzeigen. I strongly recommend adding at least 4gb. Switching from a 1tb HDD to a 128-256gb SSD should also be pretty affordable and it will do wonders speed wise.

Front right - small wallet, minimal key set. Front left - phone.

My wallet only holds 4 cards (id, driver’s licence, health insurance, debit card), sometimes cash (notes, no coins). I just take a couple of keys, for home and office, plus a Darth Vader Lego keychain.

I vape, and I usually just hold that…

If it’s jacket (or hoodie) weather, I keep my vape and keys in a jacket pocket.

When I go to the office, I have my backpack, and I transfer everything in there, except the wallet and phone.

I use webcord and ferdium. But I also tried the official apps and even the web apps with Firefox, chromium or zen. Nope.

I never actually measured it, but I switched to fuzzel from wofi, and I can’t tell the difference in reaction time. To me it feels instant.

i use a minimal arch with the zen kernel and hyprland for home, work and play. no kde/gnome. for me it’s just right. except screen sharing in teams or discord, which haunts me… now it works, now it doesn’t.

I don’t think it works with Apple, but I really like Streamrip. It works with Qobuz, Tidal, Deezer and SoundCloud. Just adding it to the list of recommendations.

I’m an arch user, and also have a small proxmox based homelab. I always have a live Ubuntu around, the latest desktop version available. Good for troubleshooting. Also, latest proxmox, opnsense, pfsense, debian.

Additionally, I have a small USB drive on my keychain with both USB C and USB A, where I keep some encrypted backups of important stuff, and I can access that from both my laptop and my phone.

😂🤣

Looking at your repos, it seems like “fork” is your favorite term, since you’ve mastered the art of taking other people’s work and making it mildly less impressive. Setting up Keychron settings? Wow, groundbreaking stuff. Your “Rimworld mod” could hardly bluff its way to quality of life improvements if it tried. And a “pure Unix shell script”? Sounds like the most exciting way to put people to sleep since counting sheep.

They can be quite… creative :) Here’s a nice overview: https://utopiabalcanica.net/2019/12/05/20-ingenious-ways-to-use-pla-in-the-romanian-language/

I don’t swear in my native language (Romanian), but I do in English. I can’t explain why…

My friends gifted me a T-shirt that said “I can’t say fuck in Romanian” for my birthday a few years ago.

I use wildcard certs. I don’t know if this completely fixes the issue, though.

Triple A titles with a story. I don’t have the rig or the patience myself, but I stream some video gameplay on another monitor while I work…
