no, because if you used dependency cooldown you wouldn't be using the latest version when you start your project, you would be using the one that is <cooldown period> days/versions old edit: but if that's also compromis

I use Regolith Desktop packages to run Sway with Gnome. It's basically i3/Sway + Gnome settings, and works really well. I get the benefit of a sane DE (Sway) and somewhat easier settings and defaults https://regolith-de

My Firefox does this on Windows. I have no idea how many tabs I have open, but regularly the whole YouTube tab I have open freezes, especially if you try to watch one video, and then another, and the whole UI is delayed by many seconds. Eve

That's a good tip, thanks! I have a older i7-6700K machine around here somewhere, that could work. But no ECC ram, and no idea if it draws any less power in the end. Some setup with just two drives mirrored would likely work, but feels

The problem with those is that they are insanely expensive for what you get. Here locally the DS423+ (4-bay one) is like $614 USD + shipping without any disks, and has a Intel Celeron J4125 and 2GB ram. They are unfortunately ridiculously o

I have a older Intel S2600CP dual Xeon board now, which still works fine, but is a huge SSI-EEB board and draws like 90W mostly idle. I think most of my use-case could be covered by one or more mini pcs, since I mostly run stuff like Home A

What models are new enough to consider? Do any of these support ECC ram? And would you say mirrored ZFS is good enough for home use? Most of my storage is media for Plex or edited in Resolve and such. I have a 6x3TB zraid2 setup at the mome

What model did you get? I've been looking at various micros on eBay/local sites, but none that I find are actually available for reasonable prices shipped to me (Norway). Finding lots of machines around ~$220 USD, but then add in

Because it's a tablet in a magnetic case keyboard thing it doesn't stand up on it's own. It needs a surface for the back of the case to be on for the screen to stay upright. A normal laptop has hinges, this is just a cloth hi

It's really unfortunate because other then that it's still a great laptop. 4k screen with touch, just enough CPU and RAM for browsing, some coding/ssh terminals and more. I bought a StarLite Mk 5 [1] to replace the Dell lapto

If anyone happens to have a XPS 13 9350/60 palm rest case that isn't broken, let me now! I was very happy with the laptop until last year when the whole metal case where the hinges attach broke. Looking on eBay for a replacement p

The email I got said this: >What is important after the changeover? • We want to be able to offer you even better customer service in the future. For that reason, we want to change the date of your invoice. This will make it easier for u

Mine never knows either, and if I dare use the cruise control or autopilot on the highway near Oslo it phantom brakes by bridges and shadows randomly. Same bridge it was phantom braking when a friend had a Model X like 8 years ago, still no

I'm not motivated, but I am stubborn. I try to not wait for motivation, but rather go do something else, anything else for a little while. This applies to anything really, be it work or chores at home or anything else I either really f

I'm a long time Plex user, and I have not received this email. Not sure if I should be worried or if the breach has just affected a subset of users. I use random unique passwords for everything anyway, as long as no credit card detail

Yeah! No idea why I still have a VPS at Digital Ocean compared to this. For a Basic / 4 GB / 2 vCPUs (aka shared cpu 4GB ram) instance I'm ending up at like $28.5 per month including VAT ($20 droplet + some backups). Looks li

I use Voicemeeter Banana to control audio on Windows. Works great for exactly that scenario, where I want my voice comms to have a higher volume than games, and also nice when I have multiple inputs (microphones) and outputs

There is a extensive JSON API available here [1], which I'm assuming this Excel API will make use of. And we already have this functionality in Google Sheets, so it's not exactly something new. It will be good to see more use of t

I have only used ZoL myself, on Debian and Ubuntu. I really sorta need to buy new disks for this, but they are so expensive right now. I should probably just backup all the stuff I really care about and offload most of this to some sort of

I make my pools with the serial number /dev/disk/by-id/ names, like ata-WDC_WD30EFRX-68EUZN0_WD-XXXXXXXXXXX. That is not going to change between different machines as far as I know, I might be wrong about this. I made so

Hmm, my Firefox here on Ubuntu does not trust that CA for some reason. And clicking "Accept the risk and continue" seems to just land me back at the "Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead" page.

A lot of us are bi-lingual. English is not my first language, so being able to use spell checking for my native language and English without things breaking is important to me.
