Eh, I just generally avoid Nvidia on Linux hosts unless I specifically need it. Their driver situation is better than it was, but still sucks.

Pretty much the only thing I use Tailscale for is remotely SSHing from my phone to my home NAS, and they definitely don’t manage my keys. They do have a “Tailscale SSH” feature I don’t use…

If it wasn’t that it’s Nvidia and that you bought this specifically for Linux, I’d have told you to keep the Nvidia, as you did get a significantly better card for the price you paid.

I’m just having trouble calling that an “audit”.

I won’t lie, I’m a bit curious why someone asked someone who has never performed an audit to perform one, what they’re actually hoping to find, and what they plan on doing with the results…

Bismuth (and Krohnkite before) never worked nearly as well for me, and AFAIK are both abandoned. The built in tiling is closer to FancyTiles/tiling zones, not auto-tiling like Pop Shell. Pop Shell also has been here for “years” by that metric lol

I just don’t understand how you get to the idea that the phone you carry around is inherently any different than your computer, and that giving the option is inherently gonna compromise your security if you decide not to turn it on.

Fair enough. I know the FSF likes to make the distinction.

I’ll be that guy pointing out at semantics - “open-source”, in the widely used OSI definition of the term is actually equal to free (as in freedom). It’s why open-source advocates go so hard at saying “this is not open-source” when companies just dumps their source code somewhere and dubs themselves open-source for it.

GUIX is a GNU Project. You know, Stallman et. al, the guy behind the FSF, or well… the GPL itself (GNU General Public License). If it happens with GUIX, Stallman would be the biggest troll in existence, and we’d have much larger problems to discuss about open source as a whole.

I can see both setups being necessary… If im sitting in a chair, I don’t think I’d want my virtual monitors to be following my head while I move, I’d still want them to be roughly around my keyboard and mouse. But using it while walking, they absolutely should be floating around my head, keeping the main one at some fixed angle.

Man, you’re spot on with that last phrase, at least, for me. All I want is a MR headset comfortable enough to wear all day, and to be able to manage virtual windows and/or monitors comfortably in front of me. The rest I genuinely don’t care about. I dream of the day I can replace my big monitor (or multi-monitor setup) with a lightweight pair of fancy goggles that would give me all the monitor real estate I would ever want.

My deluge server been reliably running behind gluetun for almost a year and a half now. It’s pretty damn great indeed.

Naming is really hard, I can’t blame you haha. I never had to name public facing things, at work I usually advocate for either really straightforward descriptive names or just having fun on a theme (e.g. we had classical music based stuff at one place, like Orchestra, Sonata, Symphony, and pop culture/nerdy stuff at another like Marvel heroes or SW characters, etc). Coming up with a name that’s marketable, discoverable and searchable sounds like a nightmare lol

The practice of calling a product “FooBar X”, unless it’s literally your version 10 that you just happen to be marketing in Roman numerals, feels a bit like those businesses that named themselves “Plumbing 2000”, it’s a bit tacky and doesn’t tend to age well IMHO. But hey, it’s not like it’d be the first software with a slightly kitsch name I use either lol

Yeah… It always being there hardly makes it a “renaissance”, no?

I honestly just use it for my resume with a template I found, so my knowledge is extremely basic, but I really do love the concept that I can “compile” and actually see the source of my document’s formatting.

Say this to my very large Canadian ISP who still doesn’t support IPv6 for residential customers. Last I checked, adoption in Canada was still under 50%.

How so? Outside very niche stuff or podcasts I just don’t seem to it used that often.

There are cheap NASes/home servers to be bought/built for a couple hundred bucks, with very limited RAM, while TrueNAS recommends 8GB minimum. It’s also often much cheaper to have the option to buy mismatched drives on sale and expand your storage over time, than having to buy matched drives, and having to plan long term for potential expansion of else have to replace a whole set of drives at once if you need more. But fair enough, yes.
