Obsidian ticks all of these boxes and syncthing to sync notes is a 5 minute setup.

Plus it stores things in plaintext instead of a database format that vendor locks you in (despite the claim of “no vendor lock in”)

Ooooo yay another half-baked AI shoved into everything whatever possible.

Nope, I don’t know the difference really. I think my arch distrobox had code oss marketplace extension as a package (to get nrfconnect auto updating) so maybe that’s the reason?

I use Code OSS with clangd and the nvim extension (because Microsoft disabled their c/c++ tools) because i want access to the nrfconnect extension pack as a beginner. I don’t have to go searching in the documentation and compiling, then recompiling 10 times to self-discover the required devicetree parameters and figure out what drivers are available vs mainline zephyr.

Plus the debug interface works well.

For everything else possible it is vim/neovim, but I haven’t been able to find good neovim setup for nrfconnect.

No, ssds have a ton of wear leveling where data is shifted around and not deleted. Deleting data wears out the SSD, so it is held as much as possible with the controller. SSDs are like 10% bigger than advertised just to prolong the life.

Even if you write the whole thing with random data then zeros, it will still have blocks in unaccessible (to normal users) places that contain old data.

Always best to use disk encryption or keep any sensitive data in filesystem encryption like plasma vaults or fscrypt.

Not really self-hosted, but I set up obsidian with syncthing and am going to transfer all of my notes from book stack to it and let bookstack be more organized documentation and obsidian to be a big scattering of notes and tags and such. I tried it with bookstack, but the flow was too much of a barrier for me to use it consistantly

I am going to plug my own project that I will complete in another revision when I can unpack my 3D printer when our 1st floor is completed in the renovation 😅

The steam controller bumper repair. The brittle ABS they used broke 3 times for me (2 I sent back to steam and got a replacement), and I printed this in PETG and got my bumper back since the SC got discontinued and it has held up because petg is much lore flexible: https://www.printables.com/model/133723-steam-controller-bumper-repair

Yeah I got MX Linus running on one of those old Intel sticks that are meant to be conference room computers and such. It’s the same age as the Asus and it runs well (admittedly I don’t use it much)

I am doing something similar. I use OIDC for everything possible.

Authelia is quite picky about everything being correctly populated, but if I remember right, the documentation doesn’t do a great job of explaining different variables for someone outside of the security industry (similar with traefik). I found a good tutorial via search that got all of the defaults set up, then playing with the options to my liking and now it is just copy pasting the condiguration per app that I want to enable, generating an key and hashing it.

If you want, I can sanitize my config and share it?

Hmmm, I used littlefs for SD card writing at work with an STM32F0 chip. It was hell working with files when tons of essential functions like appending and seeking simply didn’t work in the STM HAL… Plus dealing with opening and closing files and appending files and having to seek in them to find what you want, parsing results, cleaning old files, etc… compared to simple circular buffer and a start and end address of relevant data that can be erased once every day or week depending on use. Even with a daily erase of the NOR chip, they are rated for 100k program/erase cycles which would be over 250 years before degradation starts. I am not dealing with a ton of data nor the flexibility of a full UI/ app storage where I would definitely just use littlefs.

Yes but the problem in all of Europe and the US has almost never in history been too much power. Power requirements go up and up and up and every country wants more and more every year.

Peak loads are always the worry and cause blackouts and brownouts. Low loads almost never happen, even at night because of businesses that constantly leave everything running.

Also code development programs.

Code OSS (VSCode) in distrobox with clangd language server and NCS for embedded development sucks up like 8GB of my 32 just having 6 or so files open once you start building because it keeps builds in RAM or something. It balloons fast at least lol

Especially for jazz albums. Very difficult to find

There was an old fighter pilot game that I used to play on linux back in the day all the time in the early 2000s. I can’t remember the name but it was because my dad’s laptop was very cool to me and ran SUSE, so I played that, super tux, and a few free games because the alternative was a windows 95 machine with a 10 gig upgraded hard drive.

Lego is actually one of the very few companies that isn’t batshit crazy over video game IP. (Real life Lego clones are probably different though).

They even gave a shout out to Manic Miners (a rock raiders fan remake) on the official podcast and haven’t done anything to take it down. I can’t remember if they officially said they won’t do anything also

Rip bismuth. It worked almost perfectly in plasma5 and with rewrites in plasma6 it broke and the dev didn’t want to rewrite it.

Conversely, I game only on a Linux machine and have received 3-5 surveys in the last year.

It may have a variety of factors, but it is not as simple as “they aren’t giving surveys to Linux users to deflate numbers” or something that some Linux users tend to theorize when they don’t get surveys for a while.

Mealie is so underrated. They have meal planning, recipes, recipe parsing from the internet, grocery lists based on recipes and meal plans, like 4 different ways to organize recipes, and OIDC/SSO on top of it all!

Though as a kind of “exception”, I think that charging poles for electric cars should have modbus or Ethernet and a local protocol (matter maybe?) to use with smart home systems for automation and cars should have a standard affordable way to check errors and status of sensors.

The shed as an of site backup is a good idea.

We live in the shed (it is really its own entire stone building) during our full house renovation, so I have already run electrical and cat6a to the shed and have an old router in AP mode there.

Hooking up one of those NAS boards or a 2nd hand old PC there would be a good backup option.

That is true, but for embedded development it sucks because of specialty drivers, access to dbus, udev rules, etc… And distrobox with vscodium or code oss has some big big slowdowns that I can’t figure out.

Saleae software simply won’t work consistently in distrobox, for example. Luckily they have an app image so I could just install it there and set a few settings and now it works well. Sigrok Pulseview is better but needs a few not-dependency packages to work around it.

There is some weirdness to atomic distros and bazzite, but I am pretty happy with it!
