Whatcha brewing? I’m about to transfer my first lager using novalager to the secondary. Got pretty good attenuation and may have gone overboard with the whirlpool hops lol
Nah, more like they call you a POS for not buying into the latest and greatest corporate need to sell you the newest hardware at top dollar - I think the last time I saw a tablet for sale it was about $1100 or something stupid like that.
Where are you shopping? Samsung has several great tablets available in a wide range of prices. The S series has the S6 lite, a great tablet with stylus, for $350. There are cheaper tablets without the stylus for cheaper.
Cheap tablets and phones legitimately suck. At this point $350-400 is the new $250.
That being said, I live in Australia - $1100 was just my estimated conversion - I think the full price of it was A$1300. It was at a JB Hi-Fi that I saw, I think the cheapest one I saw was A$600.
Even the PCMR community understands there are times a computer is overkill. You gonna lug your desktop around in your pocket for daily communication? Set up your laptop on a TV tray in from of your recliner? No, there are literal devices meant for both those situations.
I daily drive Fedora Silverblue on my laptop and distrobox has been great.
I have layered only two packages: USB Guard and Distrobox. I run syncthing in a rootless podman container, and the rest goes through Distrobox.
I was even able to setup ProtonVPN in distrobox and it functions as if it was directly installed on the host (just need to map your home folder and some permissions).
I hope that immutable becomes either the standard or at least all major distros start offering it as an alternative. Makes everything foolproof and makes me much more willing to try new packages and tools because I can always just roll back.
The only thing that would really make it perfect is if files in /etc/ where also handled in a similar manner. IE: Can make changes to configuration files, and easily roll back to defaults at any time.
I run zfs on my (two) Debian boxes (a thinkpad x1 and a home server). Installing it as the root filesystem was a bit tricky but once it’s done it has been flawless for me. I run the server using 2 ssd in mirror for /etc and all those, and then a couple disks in raidz for data. When one of the root disks died I just swapped it and re synced and was up and running in not time. Unfortunately the laptop only has a single ssd so if that dies I have to reinstall and restore from a backup.
The cool thing is that I can just take a snapshot before messing around and the restore if anything breaks. It has been a really nice experience and I recommend it! I know it’s not the same as an immutable distro, and I tried silverblue but it’s too different from what I’m used to :-)
Silverblue + ZFS would be a match made in heaven, unfortunately Fedora makes it really hard to do ZFS reliably, too many kernel updates that break ZFS. This would be an even bigger nightmare on Silverblue given the distribution model.
If only ZFS was part of the Linux kernel 😑. maybe one day
Oh wow It makes sense that the coffee beans are from the seeds and can grow from them but I never made the connection. I wonder if that means you could plant store beans that you roast.
I know 😭 when he dropped the mushroom piece I was devastated. He figured it out though in the end! And now he has a buffet to munch to his heart’s content!
