Yay! No interest in a Chinese vehicle, but I would be happy to buy a Mexican vehicle

Don't worry everyone, US car manufacturers will lobby for bans/tariffs if they feel threatened

Very happy with the result of my latest project, a DIY NAS solution based on Debian and ZFS. It really gave me a lot of focus which I needed and I learned a lot! Few little things left to do now, like adding some heatsinks to the ssd's and replacing the gpu (and some cable management).

Already thinking about my next project, which will probably be a (budget) Linux gaming desktop for daily use, since I kinda gave up the P720 for this :)

Keep tinkering!

I also am thinking about a backup solution. Right now, I really have none except a small subset of my data which I backup to a (dutch) cloud provider. But I really would like some backups of my proxmox vm's and ct's and a more extensive backup of my data. Preferably (semi) local.

I had to sell the old qnap for some budget on this build so I can't use that any more.

Maybe buy a small cheap (second hand?) synology or something and use that? Any thoughts?

So today could be the day that I do the deed and install #FreeBSD onto my #AMD #ThinkPad P14s ?
I'm fully aware that the WiFi will be slower than normal until the excellent devs bring the ax200 drivers up to par. I'm also aware the running DRM stuff will be an issue but as I don't watch Netflix etc on my laptop it becomes a non issue. So I'm going to think carefully about this before I commit to removing #Linux in favour of a #BSD .
If I do decide to go for it, it'll be this afternoons little project to stress me out.
So you have a few hours in which to tell me about your experiences of switching from Linux to FreeBSD. Or maybe just tell me about some handy tips or even reasons why you'd think I'd regret the move ?
I mean I'm already running a FreeBSD server at home with jails so have some experience.

I'll be going with #RiverWM hopefully so as to stay with #Wayland . But there is also #SwayWM too the Wayland version of #i3WM

@duncan_bayne @ozjonty Any feedback on other desktops that are not i3 that new users might gravitate to?


According to reports on the BBC news, the Spanish are complaining that they didn't get enough warning about the potential effects of global warming...

This is the new reality, brought to you by Shell, Exon, Repsol, Ford, SEAT, VW, and etc...

Is anyone listening yet?

Don't blame the weather forecasters, blame those who caused the climate crisis!

in reply to F-Droid

Would it be possible for F-Droid app to automatically inform users when the signing key changes (like when reproducible build arrives), so they know to reinstall? After all, F-Droid knows that the key change is intended.

Best android appstore ever (better then google play and alot of quality apps) :ablobcathappypaws:

this would be a good time to remind folx on Bluesky that Jack Dorsey is an RFK backer unherd.com/newsroom/jack-dorse…

in reply to Ross Mounce

@rmounce I think Dorsey is no longer involved in Bluesky, but the point stands given they just got a huge investment from a Blockchain company. No way that can go wrong, right?
