I use FreshRSS, Read You on Android, and NewsFlash on my PC. It all syncs via FreshRSS seamlessly.

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

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.

 

The way he just blew off the 50/50 split criticism was pretty gross. Basing it off of Youtube's bad-relative-to-the-rest-of-the-market 45/55 split, and then making it worse is not great, especially when coming from someone who makes YouTube content for a living.

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

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.

Faced with new laws in California and other states, big tech lobbyists want to sign a "Memorandum of Understanding" to prevent "a compliance market where lawyers drive the decisions."

A few friends asked for me to walk through how I set up the dashboard I have in my kitchen, so I figured I'd share it here, too. Here is a barebones walkthrough with config files.

I've used sleek as my primary todo.txt UI for a while now, and I'm really happy with it. If you are interested in a simple, but useful way to put together a todo list in plaintext, the todo.txt spec is a great way to handle it, and sleek is by far the nicest GUI I've found.

About a week ago, I ran into a minor annoyance with an edge use-case that I have, and I wrote about it in the sleek github discussion page. Within 4 days, the maintainer of the project had a new build ready that fixed my issue. Nobody else said they needed it, but they took the time to add the feature I requested and now my workflow is that much easier.

I know not every project is like this, or can be like this, but there's no way that something like this would get added at anywhere near this pace in proprietary software. I, for one, am super grateful that software like this and the people that maintain it exist. Thank you.

Please check out sleek!
