I’m not sure if my favorite part is the scout-carry waterbottle or the DickLight^TM

Guess not. Colonizer.

Eliminate tobacco smokers? US Govt. tried, however American Indians are still with us today.

I don’t even want removable anything, I just want more small phones.

The last iPhone mini was a good size but I couldn’t stand iOS. My Pixel6a is a little too big for my tastes.

Those goofy inflatable neck pillows really do work

Unstable branch is always Sid, 'cause he’s so unstable. They just changed experimental to rc-buggy.

I know you named Sid, but it’s a rolling release so it never gets a new name.

lol

Laptop replacement for (infrequent) travel, limitations of desktop SteamOS, because it’s neat.

Trying to play Gnome3, honestly. The gaming side works fine for me I just want to use the whole computer.

Steamdeck. Had some cocktails and bought it, got it and had buyers remorse. Figured I’d give it a shot anyway.

Love of gaming rekindled, now I don’t doomscroll during downtime at work.

Installing bazzite tomorrow if I get around to it.

edit: installed bazzite in a few hours this morning, zero to hero. If you fuck with the penguin you’re going to want to do this. Very simple and straightforward as far as linux installs go. My deck is a 64GB LCD that I upgraded to 2TB and it worked fine, so the 64GB limitation is just the SSD, not anything to do with the deck itself.

Don’t forget to backup your saves for games that don’t do cloud save. I have fast internet and most of my games are also installed on my desktop PC so I didn’t worry about backing up any of that.

Google, unfortunately. Graphene sandboxes the google play services and Calyx spoofs it through microg.

I’d try a fairphone or a librem but I can replace my Pixel6 for $400 and have it within days if needed.

The drives you’re seeing with the “too good to be true” pricing are what most people call “white label” drives. From what I understand, it’s either refurbished or something that didn’t pass the big-brand QC so they don’t get the brand name. Slap a white label on it and ship it.

WD, Seagate, Toshiba will all have approximate price parity through various levels of HDDs. You can base your shopping on these prices for first quality drives. I like WD. Currently I’m running zfs raidz2 (one parity drive) on four drives. Two are WD, one Seagate, one Toshiba. No problems yet but this array has only been on for 9 months. Prior to that I had a 2-disk striped raid with 2x 4tb WD blue drives and it ran for 8 years without an error.

Thankfully

MAD theory and both sides realize that nuke silos are targets for nuke weapons so they had “extras” because everyone knows some won’t leave the tube.

I drive Hyundai, btw

… I think we do?

truenas: plex/jellyfin, *arr stack

working on another (debian) machine to run nextcloud and immich, plan is to have a failover. Redundant machine would ideally be wake on LAN to save power. I already have commodity hardware for these two identical machines, otherwise I’d probably just go for a more robust single machine.

Mikrotik routerboard out front providing wireguard for one subnet. pi4 providing pihole on the wireguard subnet. This is a new router and I’m very happy with it. This coming weekend the goal is to correctly implement mangle rules (policy based routing) to combine my two WAN connections seamlessly.

So very standard setup for selfhosting with the exception of two ISPs

truenas is easiest to manage through the web service, debian ssh and VNC, mikrotik’s WInBox is just amazing, but it’s also the first “grown up” router software I’ve ever used. It’s so much better than managing PF through a ssh session.

It’s so old it’s still shipping in bookworm

the wiki must be out of date then

Huh? Install testing or sid?

The Debian way is to install stable then change your sources.list to either testing or unstable.

I call shenanigans.

edit: what version was Stable using before 11Jun? 'cause it’s 115.12.0esr-1 right now.
