restic to a local server and to cloud storage. it varies by device, but usually just everything in /home/. The rest of the operating system should be reproducible, whether through images, ansible, nix, or guix, given the information in /home/.

scheduling is done through systemd, usually (or the non-systemd equivalent). I use BackBlaze now, but I switch around occasionally. restic has policy based snapshot removal, and a prune option.

You could try using Hashicorp’s Packer to generate images repeatably (usually more meant for cloud images though). Or NixOS (like others have mention), or Guix (like NixOS, but better in some ways, worse in others). You could make it an Ansible playbook, which would let you both make configured images, and just configure machines that already have an OS.

I do something similar with archiso, fwiw, but that only works with Arch Linux.

Would you want to change your distribution, or just keep Debian with some tools to automate?

Make a plugin to a non-vim editor that properly emulates the vim experience, with the non-vim GUI.

Or, if that doesn’t work well enough, fork them.

Failing that, you could just accept your fate. I love my neovim install.

Working there is apparently pretty nice. Microsoft on the inside is not Microsoft on the outside.

But regardless, terrible company with terrible products. Even if they didn’t do anything shady, they still aren’t great.

irssi. the plugin stuff is nice, terminal is better than GUI, and when themed it doesn’t look terrible

Hannah Montana Linux is probably the most popular Linux distro.

In all seriousness, popularity isn’t necessarily the best metric for what you should run on your computer. Ubuntu might be fairly popular, but it also isn’t particularly good.

i2p. It’s sorta like Tor, but the way that every user is a node provides some advantages over Tor.

It would be pretty neat if they did like zsh does, where it asks you if you mean a certain command when you only type it partially.

I’m a big fan of Nebula. It’s sorta like Tailscale, but not quite.

Only took them 6 years of malware

camera drivers. the patch was submitted, but hadn’t been merged yet, and I didn’t want to wait.

It’s a bit of a weird setup, and not at all practical. I build “golden images” with archiso, the image gets sent over, then local disks are auto-mounted. The local disks have my ~/home, so all my configs, flatpaks, games, etc. stay consistent.

I use PXE for my servers, so I figured “why not?”. I don’t do too much on it besides videogames, I do most real stuff on laptops. This “setup” probably isn’t going to stay around forever.

I PXE boot my desktop.

I’ve been on Sway for a while now. Also have a computer on Plasma (Wayland).

(Intel iGPU, AMD APU, and AMD graphics card)

I’ve never had any issues with Ryzen, but I never had first gen. If you don’t want Ryzen, and Intel is unethical, maybe you could try a Epyc /s?

Buying used Intel stuff might also be an option. No more money would go to Intel, and using used stuff is good on the e-waste front.

Nebula, the overlay network thing. It connects all of my servers together, and me to my servers.
