Better for what ?

For repairability ? The fairphone win easily

For privacy ? Graphene OS has a small edge, but e/os or calyx are still way better than stock android.

For not giving your money to evil corporation ? Fairphone is better.

I am using remmina daily for work, it is working well for me.

Not pirated but my local cooperative ISP is offering to split the fiber connection with neighbors and give advice on how to do so.

We can even have two bills, two completely separated intense accesses on one fiber connection and they will split the bill in two, or three, or four (plus add a few euros for administrative fees)

It’s not that hard actually, if you don’t want them to catch the wind you let them rotate freely and they will automatically face the wind in a way where they have almost no drag.

It’s much easier to automate than a regular sail. It self aligns with the wrong and with one or two actuators your set the direction you want to go too.

Automating flexible sail would be way, way harder.

So far I used SweetHome3D, Onshape and Qelectrotech (for electrical) for the renovation of my house.

However if you are planning to do some heavy renovations in your house I would advise you to get an architect to do a proper blueprint of your house and a blueprint of what your house would look like after renovation.

It’s not necessary, it might feel like it’s extra money up front that you don’t use directly for renovation but in a big project you save so much in the long term. This is what we did and there is so many (expensive) mistakes that we avoided because we had an expert eye at the beginning of the project.

Even Putin still has his legion d’honneur.

Judging by the beer in the background this is probably in a Caribbean island. Probably Trinidad, so $TTD 90 would be around $US 13

No, Trump does not want NASA to get to the Moon or Mars.

Trump wants NASA to be a tool that funnel money from the government to billionaires, aka Musk and Bezos

I think Nixos and a nas would for your need.

This is what I’m doing, I have two laptop, one for work at my office and one at home for work/hobbies.

I have a nixos config synced on github with all my of is configuration, package list extensions …Some of the config is specific to each laptop like the part related to the hardware and steam, games stuff only on my home computer. The rest is the config is shared and all my files synced on my NAS.

So whenever I change something on one the change is reflected in the other. I really enjoy this setup and I’m thinking of adding my server in it too.

Journey

There is not a single word in the game, barely any control but the game take you through an emotional story.

It’s multiplayer in a sense that you might meet another player, they can help you, you can help them or just continue on your path and despite not having any words it just fell like a genuine, pure connection with someone.

And the music is amazing.

I followed the documentation on their website to install it on a vps

Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.

Grey’s law

This one hurt a bit too close to home.

In high school and college I did believe that in my lifetime humanity would really start space exploration and colonization.

I studied engineering and did everything I could to contribute to this great advancement of humanity. I got a double master degree in aerospace manufacturing, specialized in the machining of exotic alloys used in aerospace, worked on rocket engines, developed new machining techniques that unlocked new possibilities for aircraft engines performances and was working my way up to be one of the few people in Europe highly specialized on machining technique for these alloys used in aerospace.

Then in 2016 I read more and more about “Collapse”, more specifically the collapse of our thermo industrial civilization. We are not going to colonize space, we will be lucky if most of humanity does not die in the coming century.

So rather than contributing to the future of humanity with my work I was contributing to worsen the condition of life on earth by accelerating climate change and the uses of resources.

I had a bit of an existential crisis at this point.

Did you try with a new Sim card ? I had the same problem on my fairphone where it kept losing the network.

I got a new sim card, it fixed the issue and it seem to be a common issue with Fairphones

Someone sent me code snippets that I needed by putting a screenshot of the code in a word document and sending me that by email.

It’s not just for my home server but for EOL or other issues I used bitwarden emergency access options for passwords. Of anything happens to me my wife can request access to my vault and if I don’t deny it in a certain timeframe she will have full access to it.

I did that after my brother in law got in an accident and fell into a coma. I’m very grateful he had all his password saved in chrome on his unlocked laptop because if not it would have made the period insanely more difficult for my sister.

Simple things like paying the bills would I been insanely more difficult and stressful and you don’t need extra stress in this period.

I have the ifixit screwdriver kit and one of the bits is a Sim card ejector. Does it count ?

I was in the same boat two years ago.

What I did is that I’ve setup a VM with NixOS in it to play with, learn the language and tweak the configuration file.

The great thing about NixOS is that once I was feeling confident enough to switch I installed NixOS on bare metal, loaded the configuration file I prepared in the VM and I instantly had everything installed and running. (Except for the NVidia drivers, fuck nvidia)

Since then I’ve stayed in nixos and I’m not looking back.

I don’t know how you measure efficiency but if you measure the amount of energy required for each degree of apparent temperature dropped then a fan is way way more efficient.
