Yeah, I guess I shouldn’t have put that in this comment, I was just airing a tangential frustration. It still doesn’t help me unless I set up a vps on a whitelisted domain at my work.

I cannot access my homelab from my work network, so I cannot sync via Nextcloud. Syncthing would be better, but they just stopped supporting Android sync, which I need. Proton Drive doesn’t sync files on Android. On top of that, I don’t want to deal with sync issues because keepass isn’t designed for syncing like that. I’m not gonna go back to using Google, Microsoft, or Dropbox just for keepass. I’ve considered just keeping my db file on a flash drive, but all of the keepass Android apps I tried won’t automatically detect that the file exists when I plug in the drive.

If someone has a better way for me to use it, please enlighten me.

Bitwarden is slowly turning their stuff closed-source, and I hope they don’t turn to shit, but right now it’s what works.

Yeah, I’m talking about not just Nix, but NixOS. Nix (the package manager) can do a lot, but NixOS + disko + home-manager can literally be all of the configuration for your machine from drive partitioning through to dot files. Throw in nixos-anywhere and impermanence and you can have an insane amount of control over all of your computers.

Ansible, Terraform, Chef, etc. do have some overlap, but the main difference is that those tools iterate through the system modifying it piece by piece and NixOS is declarative.

If something fails in some of my bigger Ansible playbooks, it could mean 30 minutes of just running through all the steps again. I could probably break it into sections, but then I have to worry about making sure they all get run when things get updated. In my NixOS install, it’s way faster, I can roll back to a previous state, and troubleshooting is way easier in my opinion.

You can’t have your entire system configuration in a repository of plain text files, which has lots of advantages, but it’s not worth caring about unless you feel excited to get into it.

I’ve been able to return some games based on news that they will be adding kernel-level anti-cheat. I’m glad Valve is doing this right.

really weird that they only included a discord link, but here is the repo: https://github.com/dittofeed/dittofeed

Fuck this channel for platforming fringe ideas and presenting them as if they are on equal footing with, let’s be honest, reality.

I used to do something similar. Passing GPU between host and VM without rebooting is a major pain in the ass. What I did instead was had a Linux hypervisor and 3 VMs (Linux, Windows, and MacOS). I would swap between the 3 VMs, and they each had access to my GPU. It was fun to set up and somewhat convenient, but got really annoying as it was my only workstation at the time.

I would highly suggest to just accept dual-booting and if it takes too long, get a faster SSD and/or faster RAM.

I’ve since gone Linux full-time, and I have no complaints. None of the games I can no longer play would be worth having Windows to deal with. I thought I would miss them at first, but I’m happy playing what’s available.

Good. Keeping it the same means that the original Steam Deck will remain a target device for game developers for longer.

I love my pinecil. I have a ts80p as well and the pinecil is just better.

It has sleep tracking and it works okay.

I’ve had good luck with the Bangle.js 2. I get 3-4 weeks of battery life using it for time, weather, notifications, alarms, and as a heart rate monitor every once in a while.

This is insane. I will be first in line for the kit when/if it becomes available

You are worthwhile. Your life matters. You matter. Please talk to someone. https://findahelpline.com/topics/suicidal-thoughts

Yeah, I got stuck on secrets management. I just could not get network manager to keep my WiFi passwords. I’ll probably go back and try again at some point.

Trying to configure Sway in NixOS. I gave up and just use KDE Plasma. I do miss using Sway from when I used Arch, though.

Ryujinx did everything right and legal. Let’s see how Nintendo supporters try to justify this one.

Follow the money.

I do. I follow the $23,000,000 the EPA just gave to my department to reduce methane emissions in my state from funding that the Biden administration made happen.

Don’t know how it’s not obvious that they won’t gut the EPA. The Biden administration added a ton of funding to the EPA for climate action. It’s a priority for them.

Come on man, if you can’t tell the difference between judges appointed under Democrats vs those under Republicans, I don’t know how to show you. Looking at the supreme court voting record is a pretty clear sign there. John Oliver just did a piece on this last night that is worth checking out.

There are already bills that are getting support from lots of Democrats in the House and Senate to provide similar protections that Chevron deference gave. I say “might” because of course this is only going to happen with strong Democrat control of both the House and the Senate.

Similar to Chevron deference, bills have been brought forward that have broad support among Democrats for trans healthcare and abortion access.

Democrats, like you said, are not saviors. They at-best react to Republicans and Republican-appointed judges doing evil shit when they are in power, or providing “solutions” that barely scratch the surface of the work/funding needed. Democrats have not had the political power to push these bills through since the Republicans did the evil shit they are reacting to. It’s pretty disingenuous to blame them for these bills not passing in the system we have.

Sure, they’re not some savior, but they won’t gut the EPA, the might not replace Laila Khan, they won’t continue to fill the courts with extremely right-wing judges which will take decades to overcome, they might be able to replace Chevron deference with legislation, and they might be able to put some protections into place for abortion access and healthcare for trans people.
