pulled in my K9 settings and good to go, seems like.

Xmonad with XFCE in no-desktop mode.

I can use the xfce tools to configure things like mouse and screen settings, but visually it’s just xmonad.

Pomodoro technique. Basically set a timer to do work for 20 mins (or even 10 minutes), then take a break. Then do it again. Sometimes this can get you over the initial hurdle of getting started. Once you get into the task you may not want to take a break anymore.

A similar trick is if you think of something else to do that’s timewasting, like posting on lemmy (lol), then its ok to do it - but only after working for 10 minutes. You can still do those things but prioritize getting something done first.

I’m mainly interested in old time fiddle tunes. I get them from youtube recommends sometimes, or from going to jams and hearing a cool tune, or someone I play with wants to learn a tune. I often post tunes I like on my old-time music lemmy community.

Yes that’s a nice thing to fix a problem with a software update. But isn’t it funny how the possibility of updating after purchase seems to mean that products ship without really being well tested. If there’s no possibility of fixing problems once something is in the field, then you make damn sure it works before it goes out the door.

Whoa, better make sure all my pwds are in keepass! Didn’t know the fines were so hefty for that.

Wow never heard of this platform. RIP

Ah yes the “Full Self Driving” brand of limited autopilot requiring constant human supervision.

Brother laser printer, black and white, ethernet connection. So fast, so reliable. Do you really NEED color? I find that its not that important, and if I need quality prints, like for photos, a 300$ printer isn’t going to cut it anyway.

they are only ‘hardcore’ because of the poor desktop environment integration.

It ain’t easy listening, but there’s nothing else like it. Pretty interesting how it was made.

Looking seriously at this one, especially because my main laptop has power/hinge problems. Waiting on verified linux support tho. Crazy that the thinkpad one is 1K more.

what about (rule)

I’d leave the sorting up to the users. So for a post where 5 users tagged it as ‘baroque music’, and 5000 tagged it as ‘boring’, one could sort the feed by ‘total tags’ on a post indicating general interest (5005), or just ‘total tags I follow’ which might just be ‘baroque music’ (5). Or maybe reverse sort by tags so ‘boring’ stuff is towards the bottom.

I’d think that ignoring tags would be a thing for users, so “libtards” or whatever could be ignored.

Tag mods could ban problematic users, so someone could get banned for tagging ‘corporate lies’ where the mods think it doesn’t belong. Offenders could make their own ‘corporate liez’ tag though, I suppose.

A tag hierarchy might be desirable, like everything tagged ‘baroque’ also getting ‘music’ automatically. Perhaps through agreements with the mods of each tag.

‘archive of our own’ I’ve heard has a solid system of tag moderation. Not sure it would be appropriate for a system like this.

What I think would be interesting would be a link aggregator based around tags rather than subcommunities. Moderation would be based around these tags. Your feed would be based on tag queries. Posts could have multiple tags, assigned by the original poster or by users. Assigning tags would have a similar effect to voting, so a post might get tagged by 1000 people as ‘corporate lies’, or as ‘music’, or whatever else.

Nice thing about this would be finer grained queries with news, for instance. Could get ‘politics’, but minus ‘corporate lies’.

I hear you, its great for most cases, but when a package isn’t available or downloads binaries that depend on hfs it sucks. I’ve been going through hell with android dev lately and am currently doing my compiles on debian, lol.

I think nixos is still niche, but seems to be gaining momentum. It has some unique features:

• Every package has its own dependencies, so you can install a 7 year old firefox alongside the latest, and have no interference.
• Packages with dependencies in common still share them (for space savings).
• Abandons the HFS, but can still fake it for apps that need it.
• Can make dev environments that are exactly reproducible across machines, and only exist within a specific shell session. So you can have a project that relies on an out of date version of a compiler, and another that uses the latest, and run both at the same time.
• Make your own packages that other people can install using a git repo address.
• The package language can also describe a machine’s configuration; systemd services, default packages, user accounts, etc.
• You can build and remotely deploy a machine config in one line.
• You can cross compile a machine config for another cpu architecture, like ARM.
• OS upgrades are atomic, and reversible. If it doesn’t work out, you can go back to the previous config.
• No reason to ever reinstall. Recently upgraded a machine that had sat in a closet for 5 years to the newest release. Flawless upgrade.
• Nixos boasts more packages than any other distro, over 100,000.

There are certainly downsides - poor docs, confusing core language. Instructions for installing something on say debian will not work on nixos. I do think this style of package management is the future, if perhaps not this specific implementation. It can be a pain but its also super solid.

I assume “endpoint” here means a computer that is on the network?
