etchinghillside , to asklemmy in What cheap thinkpad is best?

I don’t know - but would think what you intended to do with it might factor in.

Are you planning on playing games? What kinds?

Compiling code?

Just using cloud apps in browser?

minibyte ,

Use case needed to determine optimal system requirements.

someoneFromInternet OP ,

Compiling code and using browser. Maybe play in supertuxcart

communism , to linux in How have you automated configuring your machines in terms of packages and dotfiles so it works cross-distro?
@communism@lemmy.ml avatar

Most of my files are different across machines because of different themes etc. The only dotfiles I have synced across machines are my .zshrc, .gitconfig, .ideavimrc (not my actual vimrc because it has some machine-specific theming), and .p10k.zsh. I have them all in a folder synced with syncthing and then I symlink ~/.zshrc to e.g. ~/dotfiles/.zshrc.

ferngully ,

Chezmoi has an amazing templating feature to address different files on different machines. It’s worth the time to set up.

@Psyhackological I've cut the Gordian knot by running one distro everywhere

It depends what you want in a laptop. I’d say the T480 is a great option because it’s the last in the line without soldered RAM and has a fair amount of upgradability.

That said the T440P can do most of the same stuff but it’s a little less powerful. Though I think you can upgrade the CPU to a degree.

There’s other things as well like if you want to install Libreboot or sometimes people will sell the laptop and the dock together.

immutable , to gaming in Need help with pico-8

Pico8 carts are just a special flavor of png. I would try running it directly or if it won’t run them with the png extension just rename the file from .png -> .p8 without converting and see if that works

Relevant section of the user manual

There are three ways to share carts made in PICO-8:

  1. Share the .p8 or .p8.png file directly with other PICO-8 users

Type FOLDER to open the current folder in your host operating system.

Although if you are having trouble you might have more luck getting started with the built in SPLORE command

Relevant section of the user manual

This might be easier to get started with since it will all get wired up automatically for you

sleepybisexual OP ,

I’ll try renaming. Thing is I play carts outside of pico8 and don’t have a copy. A machine I got has a pico emu so I got some carts. It just cannot read the raw ong and instead sees it as boxart.

Ill try renaming

Count042 ,

Fake-08 is explicitly supports p8.PNG files: github.com/jtothebell/fake-08

However, not all games are compatible with fake-08.

Are they back in stock? I’ve looked off and on for months and every time they’re back ordered, and I refuse to pay scalper prices.

Damn, 5 stars? I guess I better take up smoking.

bsergay , to linux in How have you automated configuring your machines in terms of packages and dotfiles so it works cross-distro?

Nix, the package manager, is distro-agnostic. Add Home Manager on top of it and you’re good to go; both packages and dotfiles are dealt with.

I do this in combination with Nix-Darwin for one of my machines. I also have some Kubernetes clusters and RISC-V machines running bare metal executables using NixOS-Anywhere and some other stuff.

thurstylark , to linux in How have you automated configuring your machines in terms of packages and dotfiles so it works cross-distro?

I use vcsh and myrepos.

vcsh allows you to run multiple git repos that share ~ as their root, and mr simplifies/automates the management of those multiple repos. You can check out my setup here.

If aluminum’s so great, why isn’t there any lithotrophs that use it?

Waveform , to showerthoughts in Digital data has the potential to remain completely stable for thousands of generations with constant copying to new hardware

There’s always 5D Optical Data Storage, which might store data in glass for a long, long time. (It’s not really 5D; it’s composed of discrete nanostructures which have five attributes.) You would only have to write to a new disc every N billions of years.

possiblylinux127 OP ,

That’s actually pretty crazy
