I made the switch recently. I love it but do wish it was a fair bit cheaper.

I just ordered my first TV ever, and its a smart TV of course. My first choice would be to not connect it to the internet, but my wife wouldn’t like that. So i think ill just put it on its own network and block as many domains that it uses to phone home with as i can, without breaking functionality.

I’m using a work profile for Google Play. It was surprisingly easy to setup and there are few guides around. But basically you install Shelter, then clone Apps to the work profile. Open up Apps on the work profile and install google play services normally.

I didn’t know about this specifically, but I’m holding onto my 2017 ThinkPad until I can buy an Arm laptop and run Linux on it.

wezterm. Works great on wayland and the documentation is amazing. And it’s built in rust if you’re one of those people.

I have an old mini PC that I’m going to use with proxmox to share some of the load from my nas. Today I setup tailscale and for it working with unbound DNS so I can use my domain when connected.

It’s endless!

I’ve used mixplorer for ages, its been great.

Edit: nevermind, apparently its not open source.

I was so excited when I discovered this app. To me it’s one of the most perfect apps. I wish I could use it on desktop.

Magit for Emacs is amazing. It helped me understand git.

For me, they both suck. I’ve been on Linux for close to 10 years now and continue to enjoy it more and more.

However, I will say, that if I need to recommend a computer to somebody who knows nothing about computers and doesn’t want to know anything, I will recommend Apple. I die a little inside each time though, knowing about their right to repair and privacy policies.

Enter the Gungeon is amazing. I just played through Hades, and while it’s a great game, Enter the Gungeon is still my favorite roguelite.

Never heard of them, but terrible mobile website.

Ugh same. I decided to upgrade my very uncomfortable sleeping pad recently which led me to the ultralight subreddit. I went from not having a clue how much my bag weighed to a 10lb base weight, tarp camping, a $400 quilt, 27oz backpack, making my own gear. I don’t even want to count how much I’ve spent in the last year.

Everybody blaming shrinkflation and nobody mentioning how terribly low salmon stocks are right now.

I see no mention of what their fish are eating. One issue with farming carnivorous fish is that they need fish to eat and often that comes from fish pellets which are generally small fish caught in the ocean. So fish farming such as this ends up not really farming at all, but rather turning wild fish into farmed fish.
