I did this. Was a ThinkPad Linuxer for years and now I just use an M1 for sysadmin/programming/web/vids. Quite happy to just use Linux on my servers these days. MacOS does the job nicely on laptop. I suppose it depends on how FOSS you want to be.
I recently bought a MacBook Air M1 and I came at it from a classic “ThinkPad with Fedora on it” Linux nerd perspective. I got given a Mac at work a couple of years ago, and I warmed to it. I agree that Macs are great tools for DevOps work. I used to think they were just for posers but I’ve been converted.
Nice. Thanks 👍
Interesting. I’ve been using “.home.arpa” for a while now, since that’s one of the other often used ways.
Just use a $5 USB-C to 3.5mm DAC?
thank Mr skeltal
This. I’ve experimented by using pex before and one or two other means of executable python wrappers and they suck. Just do as lakeeffect says.
First time I realised systemd had a logo. And I’ve been using it for years!
Yeah. I’ve no need to change to anything else. pf/OPNsense 4life.
That’s how I’ve got mine set up, with OPNsense.
I’ve been using it a few years and I only know about half the stuff that pfSense/OPNsense can do. So I would advise newbies to just make small changes at a time because there’s a whole lot of stuff you can change. It’s worth learning, though. I wouldn’t use anything else for my main firewall/router nowadays.
PfSense and OPNsense are both killer router “out of the box” distros built on BSD. I say this as a Linux user, with little interest in running BSD for my applications, but… Respect to BSD. ✊
ZFS kicks arse. It’s worth learning enough to get a basic array going, with a couple of datasets and encryption. Once you get acquainted with that, you’ll be using it for years to come.
Use an old Pi 3B for running zigbee2mqtt on docker.
I used to run just the Linux version of it but decided to install docker on the Pi so it’s as easy as doing docker-compose pull to update it.
This is so I can control my various lights and switches using Home Assistant.
Same here. I wonder if it’s also regional or depends on your phone/android version?
I signed up a couple of months ago. In United Kingdom. Android 13/OnePlus.
Hahaha. Howling!
I did some calculations for myself, a few months ago, when I first started reading the ukpersonalfinance pages.
In my case, I’m putting quite a bit of my monthly income into savings.
My emergency fund is there to take care of adverse situations, such as if I lost my job.
So I would class one month’s emergency fund as the amount I need to carry on living as I am but without making investments into ISA, savings accounts, overpayment of mortgage etc. Because I wouldn’t be doing those things if I was out of a job and looking for a new one.
It’s quite something how Twitter has been constantly tinkered with since musk took over, and instead of making any tangible improvements, it’s actually just created more mess.
I home brew installed most stuff, yeah. I’m lucky in that I don’t need a whole lot of stuff installed. Just a couple of JetBrains IDE’s, a couple of browsers, iTerm2 and a handful of popular CLI utilities.
