kancept, to framework
@kancept@mastodon.social avatar

As much as I love the idea of the @framework laptop, and as much as I want one, I just can't seem to justify it over my current Lenovo T480. Other than a faster/newer processor, I'm not sure that I'd truly get any benefit at this point in time. :sadness:

bolapara,

I went from a T480 to an 11th gen Framework and while I appreciate the upgradable design and better portability, honestly, I could have easily continued to use that Thinkpad as my main machine. If you don’t need the upgrade, save your money and drive that T480 into the ground. It’s a fantastic machine, as is the Framework.

bolapara,

Yeah it is but it’s a pretty capable laptop. I’ve replaced mine with a Framework 11th gen for my daily use but my T480 is currently hosting 10 VMs for my homelab. It’s got the base CPU, i5-8250U, 64GB of RAM and a 4TB SSD and is plenty of horsepower. I really only got the Framework because I was excited about the product and company, not because I was unsatisfied with the T480. I highly recommend it.

bolapara,

Not sure if you’re into command line tools but I’m using hledger and have emulated pretty well the YNAB envelope method and I’m liking it quite a bit. Using plain text for transaction journals is amazing and has solved some of the ambiguity I felt when using YNAB. Tons of information here for this type of accounting method. And look here specifically for implementing the envelope method with these sorts of tools.

No phone apps are available as far as I know but depending on your technical expertise you could provide reports from a webpage pretty easily.

Non-root user that (suddenly) has elevated privileges in a specific command (only). [Have I been hacked?]

Title. Long,short story: creating or editing files with nano as my non-root user gives (the file) elevated privileges, like I have ran it w/ sudo or as root. And the (only) “security hole” that I can think of is a nextdns docker container running as root. That aside, its very “overkill” security-wise (cap_drop=ALL,...

bolapara,

Can you be more specific about what you mean by this: “gives (the file) elevated privileges”?

bolapara,

OK I see. Can you create a new file with nano and then do an “ls -l” so we can see the permissions it’s given? Also provide the output of the command “umask” as the user you’re working with.

bolapara,

Can you paste the line from ls -l? Sanitize the username/date/time if you need to. Example:

-rw-r–r-- 1 bolapara users 0 Nov 21 17:19 asdf

bolapara,

Really looking forward to people sharing their experience with Linux on the AMD Framework!

bolapara,

I requested mine a few days before the protest and I still haven’t received a download link. Not sure if they’re overwhelmed or if they are specifically delaying on this.

bolapara,

Sort by All->New or Subscribed->New, depending on how many communities you are following. Keep in mind though that Lemmy is still much smaller than Reddit at the moment but it's getting better by the day.

bolapara,

Yeah that is annoying. I was mostly speaking about the mobile experience, but what you mentioned is apparently a bug and is known.

bolapara,

Big fan of ntfy. I selfhost a server and use it for notifications for my monitoring solution and also just for general notifications of long running jobs and such. Good stuff!

Feature request: allow disable auto-scrolling

I have been finding a lot of great content by setting my view to "All" and sort type to "Hot" or even "Top Day". However, it is kind of infuriating how those modes automatically scroll with seemingly no way to disable it. Am I just missing an option somewhere or is there a known workaround for this? This is on the lemmy.ml web...

bolapara,

Oh that is funny because for me I guess I've hit the tipping point where now my NixOS setup is the one that "gets out of my way". I sometimes play around with new releases of other distros but always go back to my NixOS setup because I can just restore my nix config and it's back exactly how it was before.
