Do we prefer Ansible over Terraform?

What about Traccar? I see a section in there for "drives", although I just leave mine on all the time

I just use what is called a "GPS Case" off of Amazon. I got the one branded "MoKo" and cut out the two elastic straps which allows me to put in both my halves of my split- I'm not sure if this will fit yours, but maybe it will give you ideas.

You change how frequently checks are performed. Traccar runs a simple every X seconds pattern. Default is 5 minutes. On 5 minute pings I see a 15-20% drain over the course of 24 hours, which seems reasonable, given that I'm on GrapheneOS and not leveraging Google's location tracking simplifications. If you're not on GrapheneOS your battery usage for location tracking will probably be better. Just not private.

I should note that my scenario was exactly the same. I wanted to share location with family. Additionally, Traccar supports temporary location share links for friends if you'd like. You'll need to self-host it- I personally set up the Traccar server inside kubernetes and used Traefik for reverse proxy and SSL, but this is not necessary.

I started out with Owntracks. I found it to be unreasonably complex. I swapped to Traccar. It was much easier to get functional.

I'll believe it when I see it- Spotify lossless was announced years ago. I don't believe them.

I like AirVPN, my main issue is server stability. iVPN and Mullvad at least were able to maintain a connection continuously for weeks on end across various networks, but this is not the case for AirVPN. It's to the point where I'm considering alternatives because I'll start using my device only to find out the VPN tunnel has died and I have to manually reconnect it.

They no longer offer this, right?

I'm not sure, although if it's truly a clone, why wouldn't it work?

It is indeed the Beekeeb case, maybe the part list of the build kit on the website lists the size?

I noticed that movement combined with a balanced team really helped make higher hazard levels tolerable. For example, you can solo things a bit more on lower levels, but on higher levels having a good combination of crowd control (Driller excels in this) and single-point high DPS (such as the secondary with Engineer) makes it really balanced. We'd set up strats like Driller creating sticky flame traps all over to dump DPS downrange and soften targets while gunner can finish them off, or freeze targets allowing stuff like sentry guns to shatter them. It's really the team cohesion that makes hazard levels easier. When we paired our overclocks together in unique ways it made for easier play through (e.g. intentionally keep to flame or freezing, or, intentionally use both to leverage the temperature shock strat)

NixOS docs themselves are a tad lax, but it will get better.

Learning nix itself is also important:

Just this morning I was having issues with a wacky dual-boot install with NixOS and Windows sharing an EFI partition, and quite interestingly ChatGPT and I were able to troubleshoot the process and get it resolved in under half and hour. I was really impressed by the specific configurations it was giving me for my /etc/nixos/configuration.nix , so that is also another resource you may consider leaning on when you run into walls in other documentation sources.

Unsatisfying resolution, wiped windows disk, cleared partitions, and let windows do an automatic install. Interestingly it decided to install a windows boot manager alongside the Linux one.

Oh, one funny downside to this board is that because it's so absurdly energy efficient, I've found a few battery chargers (e.g. Anker) don't detect it as enough current draw to charge them lmao. Not a deal breaker, just amusing.

Correct, socketed nice!nanos with socketed nice!views

Protomolecule!

I can't give too much specifics due to IP and company infosec but was having issues with network drives

I'm required to use CentOS for work and it would be an understatement to say how frustrating it is to use for me. So many packages are missing / old, and some packages just break. There have also been wild bugs which just kernel panic the whole OS. I'd steer clear.

If you're on Kinoite, can't you just enable Plasma 6 if you really need it?

Is syncthing falling out of favor these days?

GPL is the only good license out there. MIT just leaves too many opportunities for abuse because corporations won't ever do what is in the best interest of humanity.

I guess I'd try what I posted above, but also, I'd verify if lsusb is showing the devices at all. If not, then maybe there's a way to trigger a rescan by the USB controllers on reboot

Is this is Linux machine? And is it waking the machine from sleep or booting that you notice the issue?

I was just looking at this, to pair with a custom keyboard and run in portrait mode for editing software. Have any shipped yet? All the YouTube videos I've seen are just people talking about screenshots

There are many other considerations besides startup speed, no? Filesystem reliability is a big one, and all the scrubbing and defragging features of btrfs are pretty neat

All of ZSA's stuff is QMK-compatible. Just load up a QMK config.

I had a Tesla try and take a left turn into me, honking the whole time, as I was headed straight (I had a green + crosswalk sign on) through an intersection. I was inconveniencing them with my existence.

I feel judged

As an aside, would recommend looking into Miryoku, it's designed specifically for this layout and may make your life a bit easier in configuration space

It's classic Flork abstractness

That's the beauty about it- it doesn't matter. Your body gets stronger and adapts. That said, make the transition smooth to avoid injury. Listen to it as your work up the step count and mileage, and explore your strides and how you rebound in the step to find something that feels strong and doesn't facilitate pain. The classic shoe community is all about "how can we build a shoe that protects your feet from discomfort" whereas the barefoot shoe movement focuses on "how can we strengthen our body such that the protection isn't required". There's obviously a balance, and that's why barefoot shoes still have things like soles to prevent injury from sharps and provide traction.

The Primus outsole is around 2mm thick. It's a night and day difference compared to a normal shoe. I actually think the whole "we need arch support argument" is sorta overblown because I have super high arches and had issues with my feet pronating in, putting stress on my knees, and since I've swapped things got much better. You change how you walk, so you don't slam your heels down like most do, instead relying much more on Achilles and calf muscles. My foot fascia feels stronger as do my calves after daily walking in vivos, and this was noticeable a few months after swapping. The first week was the most odd, as you somewhat have to learn how to walk to not have as much impact (let your calves be the "spring" and land midfoot or ball of foot) especially on things like concrete.

This is why barefoot shoes exist, e.g. Vivobarefoot. Thin, puncture-resistant soles that prevent puncture and slice damage while still allowing your feet to remain connected with the ground and get stronger.

I love my Piantor. I don't use the extra pinky column, and have Miryoku loaded on it. I exclusively write software all day, with a few emails and long Sphinx docs thrown in there from time to time.

RIP OP

That's quite a statement, are you sure about that? The Graphene team has done a considerable amount of work sandboxing the environment of Google Play, both in memory, permission structure, and IO access that MicroG completely blows past. Given how the Graphene sandboxing works, I actually can't think of a scenario where the statement that MicroG is more private than Graphene sandboxed Google Play. In either scenario you don't have to log in, so I'd much rather have an environment that has been isolated than tooling that still has tendrils reaching into the main OS itself (MicroG).

Note: Flork acknowledged the typo already.

This is what I ended up opting for and it works very well
