Fossify Calendar and Fossify Notes
We chose from a list where students with earlier birth dates got to choose first. Perhaps a consequence of small school district combined with less commonly-learned language, but after the 3rd year with the same teacher, we tended to revert to our real names, just pronounced with an accent.
I practically never need to. I’ll find a way to make things work one way or another.
Making my phone’s home screen functional. Calendar widget on the left, notes widget on the right, 3 rows of frequently-used apps on the bottom.
Went from having no calendar nor a quick place to jot notes, to having a severely overengineered planner with built-in notes that I didn’t actually use and didn’t fit in my pockets, to now finally having my day organized and my mind clear.
Also centralizing my random notes into a single ~/Documents/quicknotes plain text document for each of my machines with a taskbar shortcut pointing to it.
Depends on the degree of coreboot support. If the vendor or a firm like 3mdeb officially supports coreboot on your model of choice, it’ll have first-class support and you won’t miss out on anything compared to your typical proprietary BIOS.
If you plan on installing it yourself, do read carefully through the coreboot docs since some systems will have a few quirks (e.g. audio jack issues on T480/T470). But once coreboot is up and running on your computer, it’s smooth sailing on Linux. Compiling and flashing can be a bit of a rabbit hole, but I’m happy to give some pointers if you go this route.
I daily drive a ThinkPad X230 with Libreboot and haven’t had any issues. The only significant differences I’ve noticed are
nvramcui payload) has very few optionsLost my mind a few years ago over this quirk. Now I always change both files when I want to change the hostname.
I tend to do the inverse of the two-step process you mention. Make the diagrams in Libreoffice Draw, export as .pdf, then use \includegraphics{} in Beamer.
Somewhere around $12. Covers email, VPN, and non-KYC data. Might jump up several dollars if I get around to making a personal website with a custom domain.
The only streaming media I consume regularly is on Youtube and I don’t see a good alternative on the horizon. uBlock and Pipepipe it is for now.
Without food, just shy of 24 hours. Slept around 12 hours after almost pulling an all-nighter, then never got hungry enough to get out of my room until late in the night. Was groggy all day, didn’t feel hungry for several hours, then it nagged for another few hours until it gnawed at me and I couldn’t do anything without thinking about food. So I ate, surprisingly only took a normal-sized meal to satisfy the hunger.
I’ve gone without water or food for about 9 hours at a time on several occasions. Mostly just makes me lethargic at the end. But the most memorable time was when I went on a trail with a couple friends for about 4 hours. It was the middle of summer in an arid climate and I realized I forgot to bring water about an hour in. Was very parched and heart racing by the end, but didn’t bother me too much. Then chugged about 3x 500 mL bottles as soon as I got back in the car.
I’ve been daily driving Debian Stable for the past 5 years and I am more than happy to continue for the next five. It’s also on nearly all of my machines and the majority of my VMs.
I’m honestly not very keen on the latest features or hardware, but I am very keen on my software being predictable and consistent, so the Debian release cycle is perfect for me.
For sure, if some research institution were motivated enough. I won’t speculate if it’s happened in secret, but cloning a sheep brings us pretty close to being capable of cloning a human. I would be more surprised if 30 years since the cloning of Dolly, we haven’t advanced to the point where the only thing stopping us from cloning humans are ethical concerns.
Fellow Debian user ricing my daily driver here. Other people may call me crazy too, but I can see where you’re coming from. I’ve mostly come to terms with it by reminding myself that most people are either blissfully ignorant or too busy to care.
Have you considered making a sort of install script or even just a public repository for your tweaks? Makes it all a bit more accessible for those interested to adopt elements of your system. I’ve personally wanted to put together an automated install script once I perfect my Chicago95 rice since I’d imagine there’s quite a few people who want a one-click, retro, but functional system.
Got Debian with MATE on a couple of my computers. It’s easy on the eyes and easy on system resources. I like that its file manager lets you expand folders so I have that installed on my XFCE machines too.
I can attest that having full control over a mini PC feels great compared to Android TV, if you have rather niche media consumption habits. Someone in my family had below their TV a laptop hooked up to an external drive full of local media, a DVD drive, and a crappy Android TV box only ever used to play YouTube videos. Replaced it all with an old SFF PC, put GNOME with 175% scaling on it, with a mini wireless keyboard to control it.
But as others have commented, a Linux setup falls apart as soon as you want to watch the mainstream streaming services.
Honestly no idea. I could perchance team up with trustworthy people to form some self-sufficient community, otherwise it’s just a matter of time before succumbing to the elements or other people. Would work on my fitness a bit more if I knew ahead of time the world would become like that.
I will admit, I miss the smooth graphics of Virtualbox. It’s quite evident with dragging windows around or playing a video inside a VM. Don’t want to touch Oracle stuff anymore though. Anyone here manage to get that working on virt-manager?
1000% agree. Had to install an older version of Pinta because it was also gnomed a while back.
While I’ve yet to contribute to open-source projects aside from reporting issues, I’ve got my eyes set on something like libadapta. As soon as one of the programs I use on a daily basis gets gnomed, I’m going all in to soft fork libadwaita and restore as many GTK3 features as I can.
