Anybody used this yet? Will this be the btrfs killer I’ve been hearing it might be?

Alacritty for me

I’m not going to argue that xmpp shouldn’t be the defacto Foss social/chat network based on merit, it definitely has merit. But in reality, it had its shot and it did not take off. Now, in 2023, Matrix is our best shot at an open, Foss, decentralized chat protocol taking off.

Any arguments that xmpp evangelists will try to come back at this statement with do not matter. I’m sorry, it is just a fact, the clock isn’t turning back. Matrix may not be perfect for everybody, but it’s pretty damn great, and it has the momentum right now. Let’s please not screw this up with the typical fragmentation the open source community regularly has.

Gentoo is fantastic for me on my home desktop. I love the rolling release nature and customization opportunities. Portage is so powerful.

For all of my work computers I use either ubuntu or kubuntu with sway. I love gentoo but with work devices I don’t have time to tinker. There are also many programs I need for work that offer .deb installs that aren’t in gentoo repos nor overlays.

For servers I love Debian.

It’d be great if this was easily installable outside of gnome. I’d love an easy way to do this on sway or hyprland. Unless there already is a way?

I cycle between 4 pairs of shoes in summer, two pairs of boots in winter, and one pair of all year shoes. I have had them all for over ten years. Tips:

1. Buy Goodyear welted shoes
2. Use shoe trees
3. Don’t wear the same pair two days in a row

I also prefer to buy shoes made in UK, Italy, or US but that is just preference for perceived quality and definitely higher paid workers than most countries that mass produce shoes.

If you want a specific recommendation go with Allen Edmond Strandmoks. That’s my all year pair. Great shoes.

When deciding between the two I went with Netbird as it is fully self hostable and entirely opensourcen. Also, kernel wireguard support. There were a couple of bugs with some updates but I spoke with the devs over Matrix and got them all resolved. Works fantastic!

Ha I was just listening to the Linux Unplugged podcast and the guy was just complaining about this same thing

There is an android app. I haven’t needed to use it yet though, mobile isn’t my particular use case for this. But it should work fine.

I’ve been using secret option 3- netbird. Kernel wireguard support, completely self hostable, and very active development.

ZFS on file server, fully luks encrypted btrfs on desktop, and probably ext4 or whatever is default on the buntus for laptop and work desktop.

ZFS on freenas/truenas has been rock solid for 10+ year raid. I love working with btrfs snapshots and the ease of adding drives on demand to expand. I don’t think much about ext4 on those systems.

I was a 10 year lurker on reddit. Now I have my own Lemmy instance

Your mom’s so fat I can’t even ultrahand her

Sneaker culture is incredibly weird. Shoes made by children in China with a limited edition color are in such high demand that there are sites where people refresh F5 constantly hoping to have the honor to pay hundreds and hundreds for shoes that cost $7.50 to make. Then half of the time people won’t even wear them outside, they’ll put them in a bag and change shoes when they get to work or whatever. Or some might not even wear the shoes at all and just display them.

I’m an old soul in this sense. I love a quality goodyear welted shoe, and made in USA, UK, or Italy usually. An Allen Edmonds strandmok is a fantastic everyday shoe for me. I like to purchase nice things in general, use them, take care of them. I really hate throwaway culture as well.

Please nobody hate me for this, I’m a bit self conscious being an admin of my own instance and don’t want to piss people off haha. If you’re into gym shoe culture that’s awesome. If I knew you in real life I’d probably make fun of you for a minute if I saw you walking outside in socks carrying your $400 limited edition sneakers, but then you can make fun of me for one of the thousands of things I do and it’s all in good fun.
