I’m not sure of the floor plan or roof type. But what I do is run a cable up the corner and drill a tiny hole right in the corner through the ceiling. Then I use a PoE powered access point and leave it in the ceiling space centrally located. One tiny hole you can patch with just about anything when you move house. If you have a rj45 crimper then the hole can be the diameter of the cable.

I’ve also done something similar where I run Ethernet under the floor. I lift up the carpet slightly right in the corner and drill a hole through the floor and run the Ethernet under the house. You also then take it up into a closet etc.

If you’re more adventurous and confident with electrical work you can also TURN OFF MAINS, then open up a wall power socket, disconnect the wires, tie a pull wire and your Ethernet cable very securely, and go into the roof and pull the two through into the roof space. You then tie the end of the elec cable to your pull wire and pull it back down to the socket. You can then get a wall plate that is a power socket and Ethernet female combo and voila….

You should check out d2. It’s a code to diagram tool. You put some very simple coke and it draws your diagram. Quite quick and useful. Been using it for a while now.

Exactly. It’s documented in the config files!

I’ve recently started using proxmox -backup-client. Works well. Goes to my backup server along with my vm image backups. Works nicely with full deducing and such. Quite good savings if you are backing up multiple machines.

I the. Rsync this up to cloud once a day.

I have to say that I used to be a timeshift fan but I’ve started moving to snapper instead. Both are very similar but with snapper you can have multiple configs, one per sub vol. each with different settings. I like having a separate root and home schedules set up. Means I can restore one or the other independently. Works a treat.

Wow that looks very cool! Thanks for sharing!

Do it! I love i3. Always used windows, then KDE briefly on my laptop. Since moving to i3 I use it everywhere.

more out of the box than what Arch comes with.

Rolling release model.

I’m running Manjaro, and after installing blue man, and pairing I’ve not had any issues. Thankfully!

I do need to manually switch between a2dp and headset modes when I do video conference calls. I’m just used to doing it now. Heh made an easy keybind for my profiles so it’s not bad.

I’ve tried these on multiple Manjaro builds and have always worked. Maybe I was just lucky with Arch and Manjaro supporting this. Phew!

Other than the problem, how are you finding them? I’ve found them the best earphone investment I’ve ever made. They are awesome and so portable. Used them on the plane a bunch and they are great :)

I have like 10 old laptops that I mess around with. Got various Linux distros on them.

I have patience as I know some of these machines are older.

I’m basically going to say for me. Specs doesn’t matter. What matter is a good quality display. I value that highly for web browsing. Yes, all the laptops I have here have shitty displays 😞

I have a couple of old tablet/convertable netbooks. They have quite nice displays, just small. 2GB RAM and Intel Atom CPUs. They are quite slow but the display more than makes up for it heh. (HP and an old MS Surface)

I agree with this! I run i3 for all my builds and it’s great!
