@jaiden@danirabbit@mattdm@lea I always sleep on the side/bed closest to the door because of some lingering sense of duty to be the first line of defense for a security event, but I do that even when traveling by myself.
I grew up around LEOs, so I'm similarly wired to sit in restaurants on the outside of a table, facing the entrance doors.
@passthejoe Yeah, that's a general rule for newer RPI. The performance is better with usb. That said, I'm still using a microsd for my Pi's. It's not so much that you can't, but that your experience will very likely be better with usb.
Puppy had her first meeting with a herd of cows today, the species her ancestors were bred to herd. It did not go well—she went into a blind panic and ran away as fast as her perfectly bred little legs could carry her. I hope her ancestors weren't looking.
(I didn't get it on video but here's her a minute into her flight looking back to see if the cow is in pursuit.)
On to the next one: Learn #Grafana 10x by Eric Salituro. Excited to finally learn the hidden treasures and wisdoms of Grafana after using it more and more in the last couple of years...
@johanneskastl I've also been meaning to take some intentional time to dive deeper into prometheus, alertmanager, promql, Grafana, etc. I think there's a lot more potential of what I might do with it all if I understood the gears and cogs of the machines more.
@thomholwerda On the flipside, those things are supported by Fedora and there may be other Fedora users with the same problem so you raising the question and getting help might help others out as well and possibly even for those not running Fedora that stumble in from a search engine about your issue. All that to say, you're definitely welcome to ask about it there.
@thomholwerda It's a community distribution and not a commercial one. Think of it less as a support entitlement and more of an opportunity for the community to come together to help one another out and potentially make things better for users of those things in the broader Linux/open source world. Reporting bugs and problems is useful way to contribute, even if your immediate personal goal is just trying to get your laptop to work better with it.

I currently run RHEL everywhere on my personal infrastructure (desktops, laptops, servers, homelab, etc), but sometimes I consider moving to CentOS Stream on my desktop/laptop devices for the faster access to in-flight features and bug fixes that roll out between RHEL release windows. 🤔
Got to jam with a group today with the #Gretsch and it's got some neat tricks to it. It has some particular sweet spots with rhythm distortion. I can see now why this was popular with some grunge era guitarists. A little bolder and easier to tame than a Strat and not as overruling as a Les Paul.
One thing I really like about the #Gretsch is that I can crank up the tubes and it doesn't get muddy in a bad way. I'm not sure how to describe a "clean muddy" tone, but when Chris Cornell plays here you can get a sense of it:
Great day to be reminded that when you are creative and different and innovative, most business structures will basically do everything they possibly can to suffocate that and stuff you into their pre-existing little well controlled boxes.
Intellectual and knowledge work is no protection in a world where the meritocracy of intellect is a distraction narrative.
@grimalkina Yup. Choosing who, when, and what you reveal about your plans for change and innovation is an entire skillset that isn't generally taught apart from having a number of hard experiences.
