I have chosen the easy way and went from too many every day to no alcohol at all. It’s been around a year now and I am going to double that number.

Kudos to you, setting limits feels way harder than getting to zero as, to me, zero means not thinking about it at all.

If you managed to keep those rules for 3 years that’s a good job, it needs a lot of will to not use any downside of life to break the rule.

Everything is baguette, join us.

Root beer also turned out to be a disappointment.

First time I went to the US at around 16 I found a vending machine with Root Beer. I thought that I found a way to rig the system and buy beer at 16 (like we do in Europe).

Well nope, root beer is not beer…

Boar and chicken like in Astérix. The way they can easily eat a chicken wing that have only a big bone in the middle always made me jealous.

As much as I want, we divorced.

I use this for KDE tilling https://github.com/anametologin/krohnkite

Edit: It is the active fork of krohnkite, the official repo is dead since 2022.

This problem did not impact the 787, supposedly, but it does look there’s a lot of cracks on that wing paint.

I have one of those minisforum amd hx 370 (the x1 ai pro). Those are very powerful awesome hardware. I use the mini pc as a work computer for 3D and dev on OpenSuse and lightweight low power gaming machine (like long haul Xplane12 flight during the night).

Everything is well made and beautifully built.

As for this NAS version, if money is not an issue I wouldn’t hesitate. 10Gbs, tons of ram, Amd hx 370. It sure is overkill for a NAS, it’s more tailored for a very beefy docker server and/or virtualization station while being a multimedia NAS at the same time.

I built my own synology replacement with second hand itx parts in a jonsbo n3 case, but if I hadn’t or just had plenty of cash to spare, I would definitely go for a server like this one (my use case is NAS + docker + virtualization + eventual game server all in one).

As a side note, the “AI” part is just communication for now, those chips are not yet supported for local LLM on Linux (Windows only atm), they need ROCm support for iGPU RDNA 3.5 and the new AMD NPU integration into those local frameworks (llama.ccp etc).

It will come for sure, it’s just not ready yet.

Quitting my job for the end the year, a job that is making depressed and tired.

Opening my own business with blackjack and hookers (for real tho, opening a shop in my city).

Yes to all. Programs are run from whatever launcher you want to use, default KDE or another one.

Default Key Bindings

Well that was my main motivation to try KDE, everything is working fine out of the box and is highly configurable/rice-able.

It just needed that tiling wm love. So far I have nothing really bad to say about this configuration. You can have a very i3 feeling by adding gaps, rounded corners, removing title bars, have transparency or blur etc. Or you can do a mix of both worlds to make it easier for the rest of your household (example, having title bars makes the windows movable by mouse. I kept them for my significant other, she hates not being able to choose the windows size but it makes it easier for her to watch YouTube…)

Keyboard shortcuts are configured in kde settings, so there will be conflicts at first between “normal kde” binds and tilling plugin binds, but nothing impossible to change.

I haven’t seen any bugs, my dual screen is working great. I have yet to finish my personalization but I’m at about 80% and it as become my daily driver for working.

I am not certain about your different config by localhost as I now sync the dotfiles and packages across the two pc (laptop + mini pc) which are the same hardware and so, exact same look and feels. When not in laptop mode they share the same dual screens so it makes sense to me.

The only downside I see is that it relies on a community GitHub. The one I linked is the only one I found to be updated. There are plenty of forks or similar projects not updated since 2022.

So unless KDE officially does it one day (and does it well), we have to use community plugins and hope that they stay updated.

Mandatory over compressed screenshot (in night theme and night light cause, well it’s still night… It will transition everything to day at sunrise)

I was an i3 and sway user but I lapsed to the dark side.

I tried KDE with Krohnkite tilling extension on a new laptop and liked it way too much. It’s slowly becoming my main DE.

It’s configured with i3 shortcuts of course, so there’s that.

In French sorry, but it should be easy to auto translate

Or the paywall TDG with an article that says: Proton ready to quit Geneva if the confederation goes through its plan

TLDR: The Federal Council (aka Bern) wants to add a category for services like Proton and Threema in its surveillance law. They want to modernize this law to include newer forms of communication, possibly giving themselves more power over it to request data if they deem it necessary (opposite to today where they need a court order and companies can go to court to fight and refuse to give the data).

Oh shit my vote made 100%, I didn’t know I was the first to vote.

The Verse it is then 😁

Le Verse in my corner of the world.

I generally get my inspiration from https://forums.serverbuilds.net/ mainly the NAS killer posts (the website seems to be down at the moment of posting).

Then I adapt according to my local second hand market. Everything is bought from auction sites like eBay and some parts need patience to find a good price.

Don’t worry, I’m getting my minusforum AI X1 in an hour and tonight is OpenSuse Thumbleweed (Sway WM) installation night!

I even have popcorn and sweets to pass the time during downloads and zypper installs, can’t wait 🤓

He is the bearded wizard we need.

Please make a 45 minute tutorial video to share that knowledge 🙏

No it doesn’t change anything for lifetime pass.

Maybe it will in a few years, but not today.

Maintenance day is when I log into my server once every 3 month because I forgot it (as everything is working fine).

But I just discovered OpenSuse microOS, while looking at the docs for my laptop Thumbleweed, and now I want to try it with no real reasons. Maybe it is just an excuse to buy a new Raspberry pi.
