Well, when you're right, you're right

The problem with taking a wagon down the road to recovery is that it is too god damn easy to fall out of. With no suspension and no seat belts, all it takes is one little bump for your ass to go tumbling out the back and straight into chain smoking to make up for lost time.

Fuck the wagon, and fuck the corporations. After 12 years for me, and 25 for you, we're taking a gods dammed dune buggy.

Lawl, you and me both. I've been on the wagon the past few months, but I can feel myself teetering on the edge. I randomly had this enter my brain and immediately thought to myself, "Woah, this is something I could actually use."

 
 

Hello, Canadians of Lemmy! Down in the USA there is a lot of conflicting information regarding the efficacy of y'alls healthcare systems. Without revealing my personal bias, I was hoping for some anecdotes or summaries from those whom actually live there.

On the MacOS side, you can setup the VNC Server by just using the built in Screen Sharing tool. From your Pop!_OS install, you can connect using any VNC client (e.g. TightVNC, TigerVNC, Remmina). I drive all the Zoom Rooms for my org off Mac Minis and that's how I access them.

During lockdown, I went through a period of making D&D miniatures by gluing these plastic babies to coins and decorating them with pipecleaners...

Yeah, I use Yubikeys for my password manager 2FA and keep all other OTP seeds with their respective creds in Bitwarden

Debian and its downstream is my big fluffy comfort blankey. Pop!_OS in particular has the smoothest out of the box desktop environment I've encountered.

Congrats on taking the dive, comrade. May the Spirit of the Kernel light your way.

 

Does anyone have strong opinions on open source hardware? I'm finally at a point where I need to upgrade my laptop.

The Framework 16 pre-order is tempting. It's a fascinating project. Even if it comes at premium due to the small scale of their operation, I'm happy to support the cause.

Alternatively, Sytem76/Clevo hardware has interested me for a long time (coreboot ftw). Based on the documentation current gens are super easy to repair.

Any thoughts are appreciated!

If you're in the US, tonic water has quinine (a moderate muscle relaxor) in it. The eyelid of my left eye twitched constantly over a year. I suffered through a couple glasses of straight tonic water and my eyelid hasn't twitched since
