Thanks! This will be veryuseful when I update in a month. I have some config to prevent popping sounds when the soundcard goes to sleep.

Edit: the meme says “closed source” which is patently false for Mongo

~~No, MongoDB is closed source, proprietary software. You might be confusing open source with source available.~~

Edit: Actually I am wrong sorry. Closed source is not the opposite of open source. I didn't read your comment exactly enough. MongoDB is not open source, it's not free software, it is source available and thus not closed source. The things below are still true but don't contradict what you said.

The SSPL is not a free software license and it is not an open source license. The OSI said so:

Get a cross body sling, One of those travel digital nomad things. The brand ones aren't cheap but it's like somewhat fashionable. Maybe that could work?

Anytype looks interesting but it looks like most of it is non-free non-opensource software:

While our core solutions, the infrastructure protocol any-sync, and the data protocol any-block, are released as open source under the permissive MIT license, we distribute the remaining layers, including the middleware library any-heart, and applications like anytype-js, anytype-swift, and anytype-kotlin, under the Any Source Available License. This license grants individuals the freedom to review, modify, and utilize the code for personal, academic, scientific, research, and development purposes. However, for commercial use, consent from the Any Association is required.

They had some serious cryptography issues (including no perfect forwards secrecy!!!) but they have promised to fix that. I've not yet seen any paper analyzing the new protocol. But maybe it could be good?

Edit: Here's a paper with some of the issues: https://www.research-collection.ethz.ch/bitstream/handle/20.500.11850/623004/main.pdf

They conclude that:

The seven attacks we have presented highlight fundamental weaknesses in the design of Threema. Indeed, the Threema protocols lack basic properties that are nowadays considered de rigueur for a messenger app to be regarded as secure: forward secrecy with respect to a malicious server, and protection against replay, reflection, and reordering attacks. We believe that the cryptography in Threema has design flaws that need to be addressed in order to meet the security expectations of its users

They have redesigned their protocol since then but again i have yet to see a third party look at it but TBH i haven't looked into it.

It's just sorta strange to be because everything from fedora, ubuntu to arch and even windows just works in virt-manager without any special settings and openSUSE just doesn't even get to the installer.

The problem with openSUSE Tumbleweed I have is that so far I've never been able to install it. For all other Linux distros I can just get the ISO and use virt-manager to create a VM. But openSUSE never manages to boot. Any ideas why? I'd love to try it.

Edit: I'm trying it again now and i made it into the installer now

Edit2: installed it and am trying it out. Looks good on first glance but some packages that i'd really need to use it as a daily driver appear not to be present, like gnome-shell-extension-appindicator or gnome-shell-extension-caffeine

Huh they work great for me. Which Ladda did you get? I think there was some brown or like yellow ones or something that were made in china and weren't quite as good I think. Also the LADDA 1900 will have a longer lifetime than the LADDA 2450s. In the same way that Eneloop Pro have fewer recharge cycles than the normal Eneloops.

Tipp for people wanting to get into rechargeable AA and AAAs: get IKEA Ladda batteries and their charger. They are cheap and japanese made. Some people argue that they are just relabeled Panasonic eneloops!

Edit: Oh also if you used rechargeable batteries in the past and you remember them sucking that's probably true. But the battery chemistry is better now and it's possible that your batteries degraded quickly because of "dumb" chargers. Modern chargers like the gray 4 battery Ikea charger detect how and for how long to charge and thus will not ruin the batteries.

Maybe it's a u.2 or u.3 nvme Enterprise drive?
