So I took the plunge and installed Fedora Silverblue because of all that immutable buzz. And it’s the most frustrating change I have made in almost 20 years of my distrohopping....
I had an entirely different experience with Bazzite. It would not boot to Wayland after an update, so I had to boot to xorg, reboot, and then wayland would work, until the last update where Wayland just wouldn’t work anymore, so I ended up going back to Fedora Workstation.
I just installed EndeavorOS on an HP Spectre360 that’s roughly 2 years old. I am honestly surprised at how easy it went. If you google it, you’ll get a lot of “lol good luck installing linux on that” type posts - so I was ready for a battle....
True. PopOS has pretty current kernels, and is very beginner friendly. What I mean is that there are options, regardless of hardware (unless your on an m3 Crapple chip).
Yeah, now go crazy trying shit you probably should not be trying. From my perspective, that’s the best perk of any Linux distro. Evidently, backup first.

I’m basically running all my self-hosted services over CF tunnels. Does anyone have a suggestion for an alternative to this? I’d like to remove CF from my life, but not at the expense of poking port holes in my FW.

I welcome the challenge of meeting every kind of people. With you, honestly, it was fun, and from the get-go I was aware that we would just get along at some point.
I’m very sorry to read about your injury man. I’ve been battling my own demons lately, with some very traumatic experiences I went through about 2 years ago. I forgave the people that caused the emotional and mental damage, but just this morning I woke up sweating and hyperventilating at 5am and could not go back to bed. Freaking nightmare of that crap had me relive the situation all over again.
I guess that’s what makes us human. And people here, open your mind to what could be. Yes, this guy comes across as an asshole at first, don’t I know, but once you see beyond that defense wall, not only is he super cool, but a great conversation partner, specially when there are opposite views on each side. Pretty insightful that’s been my experience with him. And yes, he is very passionate about his beliefs, and more people should be like that instead of just following the flow.
I’m still around but, as long as my wife and kids allow me to 🤣
You know? I’ve been wanting to start journaling for years now, but have used work and responsibilities as an excuse to put it off. That’s entirely on me, and seems like you mentioning it was the call out I needed to remove the BS excuses. I’ll start in Joplin since I already have it, but if you have any suggestions on apps I can use on mobile and Linux, that’ll help a lot (after all, I know you KNOW about apps that work great).
Just added the podcast to my AntennaPod, thanks you.
That’s good, choose what you’re comfortable with and what works for you. Everyone should do just that. We all have our own needs, priorities and threat models.
As I’ve said, I do like GrapheneOS, it is solid software in my opinion, but the humans behind it make me more paranoid than Samsung devices.
Know what? I’m going to do it. I fell into the bad habit of having everything done with a keyboard, and feel that I have absolutely no skill left to use pens and pencils, but it’s about time to make the effort and retrain my brain on it. Thanks bro, this is a great incentive too.
I’ve been using many apps and from few months, It’s seems I’m quite stable so I think it’s time to share a list of awesome Android Apps I’m using everyday as I’ve removed Google from my life!
What I do is get it from a brick and mortar store, like Best Buy, or even order from them. I’ll avoid buying from Google directly like the plague. I am aware they share some information, but just not paying Google directly feels good to me.
And about their customer service, honor where honor is due, they are awesome at that. When I was leaving Fi, not even a single attempt to keep me there, no questions, just a fully helpful individual helping me port out.
I would, and do. I have had to sacrifice some convenience to stand my ground and my values, but that’s up to each individual how far they are willing to go.
This question is social/political, and meant to trigger a nice debate on the negatives of imbalanced infinite progressivism we seem to be heading in social and technological spheres, ignoring science, practicality and reason....
Thank Professor X, but I choose how I open my debates and discussions and you choose if you want to participate or not. The same applies to everyone else. Freedom of speech does not apply only to the woke.
The theory is amazing, but the reality is completely different. As an example, let’s look at the current gender perspective divide.
One side (I guess most would call it “traditional”) thinks there are only 2 genders, based on tradition, religion, their view of science (biology) and a slew of other factors.
The other side (what is now commonly known as " woke") thinks there’s a bunch of genders based on preference, emotiinal status, etc.
Now, side 1, and you can by all means show me evidence to the contrary, speaks about how side 2 is wrong using their own consideration on what are the determining factors, and mostly leave it at that, whereas side 2, from what I can see, do the same, but seem to be constantly loud and super-expressive about the ideas.
Look at the pride parades. If I know my train of thought is the right one (that’s what we all think), why would I take one day, or month, to drop everything that has always been considered moral and correct (I’m talking about keeping things where they belong, such as sex belongs in private) and go show everything out, in broad daylight, balls out for all to see?
What I mean is that you don’t see side 1 doing anything remotely similar. It’s the exact same thing as when you scream to try to win because your argument in a discussion did not have the outcome you wanted.
This brings us to “let everyone choose for themselves”, which just doesn’t happen, unless what you choose agrees with the mindset of the other side.
Just look at this post I made, wait for the ridiculous amount of downvotes because every single non-traditional person will hate what I chose. Look at all the downvotes for the OPs posts in this thread, what do you think that’s about?
Humanity has gotten to a place where fanaticism has overriden civil discussions, and it’ll get way worse before it gets any better.
100% agree with that. Now, all we need to do is come to a consensus on what those things are and how to eliminate them with as little “acceptable losses” as possible.
