This would make me sad. 😢...

So, I just found out about a programme called SynthShell which kind of does the work for you and gives you a nice looking shell, the thing is that this also creates some config files and other stuff in my system, instead of just one .bashrc file to edit.

As in the title - its on sale on all consoles at the moment for a very good price and I was wondering what console should I get it on. I like the idea of playing it on the go and I thought as it looks like it should run no difference what console im playing it. But I heard some mixed reviews regarding the performance on Switch.

I have a few Linux servers at home that I regularly remote into in order to manage, usually logged into KDE Plasma as root. Usually they just have several command line windows and a file manager open (I personally just find it more convenient to use the command line from a remote desktop instead of directly SSH-ing into the...

I have been using linux about 4 years now and in that time i’ve done a bunch of installs. Lately i’ve been setting up luks and lvm, but each time i install a distro ive set up bodhi and nixos with this setup but the issue i have is that each time ive done it i’ve had to follow a guide....

Living in a place with carpeted floors for the first time. What kind of cleaning routine should I have to keep the carpet clean?

I wound up with one of those newfangled playstation controllers, and I’m surprised at how good it is. It paired nicely on Endeavour KDE, and there’s a big touchpad in the center that works to control the mouse pointer out of the box. I’m quite happy with it!

The film was shot in Winterset and Adel, both in Iowa. I’m curious if the farmhouse still exists, or if maybe it’s been turned to a museum due to the 1995 movie....

Alternatively, what’s your meal prep breakfast for the week?

I don’t have a google account and don’t want one and really prefer to not upload my contacts to someone else’s server as a matter of principle. I have a personal nextcloud server so could use that if it helps, but it’s not clear that it does....

It seems like 6 or 7 years ago there was research into new forms of storage, using crystals or DNA that promised ultra high density storage. I know the read/write speed was not very fast, but I thought by now there would be more progress in the area. Apparently in 2021 there was a team that got a 16GB file stored in DNA. In the...

Yesterday, I downloaded a dozen highly recommended apps and for every single one swiping left or right on a song caused either 1) nothing to happen or 2) tab navigation which is abbbsssoooolllluutteellly useless garbage....

We like boom boom, no?

I was running KDE Neon on ThinkBook 15 G2 and had deep sleep working after adding mem_sleep_default=deep to GRUB_CMDLINE. It worked for a while until it didn’t. I didn’t do anything other than running regulat updates. Since couple weeks back, when going to sleep, it shows BIOS Recovery progress bar or something and restarts....
