And the Luddites were right

Fitting a 100W battery in the 13 inch chassis while keeping everything easily serviceable would be impossible

My plan to handle this is to switch my VMs to NixOS, set up NixOS with impermanence using a btrfs or zfs volume that gets backed up and wiped at every startup with another that holds persistent data that also gets backed up, and just reboot once per day.

I’m currently learning how to do impermanence in all the different ways, so this is a long goal, but Nix config + backups should handle everything.

I use a Ryzen 5900x, RTX 3080, 2x 10Gbit sfp+ NIC, 128GB ECC RAM, and only 2x 20TB drives at the moment.

For my gateway, I have an Intel N6005 box, I have a managed 2.5/10Gbit switch, and I have a wifi AP.

I have a ton of Proxmox VMs and containers.

All that hovers between 140W to 180W

To make life easier for yourself, I’d highly recommend running Linux on a separate drive. The Linux distribution installers I’ve used will install the bootloader on whatever drive you choose to install on, but the windows installer will use the storage controller’s port ordering to choose which drive to install on.

Your best bet is to simply disconnect the Windows drive when installing Linux and to disconnect the Linux drive when installing Windows, then just use the BIOS boot selection screen to choose which OS to boot into.

You can add your Windows drive to Grub and you might be able to add your Linux distro to your Windows bootloader, but keeping them entirely separate is probably best.

I preordered the new screen for my 2nd-gen. This is all great news!

I use porkbun for my domains, cloudflare for dns, ddclient connecting to the cloudflare api for dynamic dns, and traefik as a reverse proxy to send subdomains to their respective service.

The only part I have to pay for is the porkbun domain.

$8 for a year is a good deal, but be ready to switch when that expires.

That’s a non-commercial license. It’s not open-source, just source-available.

Once HedgeDoc 2.0 comes out with the “Explore” page, I’m pretty sure that will take over for Obsidian for me. I have played around with all the fancy features in Obsidian, I just don’t think I need the majority of them.

fair.

that’s unfortunate.

I have a 5800X3D and RX7900XTX and I play at 1440p on high settings. Glancing at Mangohud, I haven’t seen a dip below 70fps, and usually hover around 85-95.

It works out of the box on my Linux PC with AMD CPU and GPU, and has pretty great dynamic resolution, so it probably works great on the deck.

The game has functionality that does not work on the Steam Deck. Valve is completely in the right here. If the developers wanted it to get a rubber stamp from Valve, then they shouldn’t have made part of the game broken on Linux.

I just walked from my office to get some lunch. There are a few options nearby, which is nice, but to get to any of them, I have to cross multiple massive parking lots and at least two non-signaled pedestrian crossings at stop signs that are 40+ feet wide. Between walking the 1/4 mile to lunch and back, I had 3 cars almost back out of a parking spot while I was walking by, and had one van roll into the crosswalk right in front of me at a stop sign.

EDIT: Also, there are only sometimes sidewalks available.

Majora’s Mask Decompiled on my Linux PC

Unfortunately, Obsidian isn’t FOSS, but I do sync it with my own server and it does store everything in plain-text, so when something better comes along it will be easy enough to switch.

Thanks for the kind words, though!

nope, open-source. claiming that they are releasing under an open-source license is speculation. The only thing we can claim is source-available.

sure, and while we wait, claiming that they are releasing it as open-source is speculation, so lets not do that.
