I’m incredibly close to pulling the trigger to make WattOS my new distro for my netbook. I’ve been using antiX for a while and it’s really great overall but the lack of systemd has worn me down I feel. A few programs I want to use just don’t work properly without systemd and I don’t have the patience to fill in the...
Retargeted triple buffering to GNOME 48 instead of trying to upstream it in 47 at the last minute. Actually upstream wants it in 47 more than we do.

Hey, you wild deaf monkeys at Lemmy. I’ve just wandered into this crazy jungle, and I’ve got to ask, are we all rocking the same type of autism here, or is this place a mixed bag of spectrum madness?

I’ve been using Express and had a great experience so far, but I may want to try a Proton subscription for cloud space and more emails. It also comes with a VPN service but I’m a little leary on trying something new. Any thoughts on Proton VPN?
I’m finally taking the leap from upgrading from a media drive sitting in my desktop PC to a self-build NAS. The parts are on their way and I have to figure out what to do when they actually arrive....
At my local hamfest on the weekend I picked up this 6-way coax switch. I’ve been furiously searching my little heart out, but haven’t actually discovered any sign of it....
I remember planning to watch some showcase on the 28th. But I forgot and now it’s past and I can’t remember what I was gonna watch. And there’s no calender I can find of what showcases were happening on what days.
The news mod team has asked to no longer be a part of the project until we have a composite tool that polls multiple sources for a more balanced view....
