I want to setup snapshots but I don’t really understand how to do that properly yet in a way that lets me shoot the snapshots over to my smb storage like Apple’s Time Machine does.

+1 for using LTSC with MAS activation. It’s about the only acceptable way to run windows at home, other than doing the same thing but in an isolated VM.

about:blank with a dark theme is the only new tab experience I will ever use.

Literally the only reason I decided to buy it.

For me, even on X11, it’s hit or miss if the copy actually makes it to the clipboard. I’d say 50:50 I can paste the image or I have to clip again.

I have been thinking about starting a blog.

Any recommendations for self-hosted blogging? The setup itself might be worthy of a post :)

It’s hit or miss. Really depends on the software requirements, versions of wine, your system in general, etc.

For example; I used the streamer.bot Linux install script to successfully install a new wine prefix that runs the app great. This requires dotnet48 and other dotnet dependencies. But it only worked after several failed attempts because I had to downgrade wine to 9.0 from 9.1 on Debian 12. I’ve since moved to arch and no matter what version of wine I’m running, the program will not work anymore even as fresh install. I’ve yet to fully diagnose what’s wrong.

Good tips, but how does one practice them? Often times I see advice along the same lines but no offers on how to improve these skills.

ddcutil is a daily driver for me, lightweight, hyper compatible, full monitor control. I primarily use it to lower brightness at night but also constantly switching inputs with simple macros so I can share multiple monitors with multiple systems.

Nice!

NUT is fantastic and so easy to setup, it’s pretty magical watching all my machines and services shutdown during a simulated power outage to verify functionality.

Discord and Steam flicker / render weird and I get massive input lag for seemingly no reason just trying to use almost any app. I stick with x11 and have little to no issue now that the Firefox offset cursor regression was fixed. I’m running a 3090 on EndeavourOS.

No, valves fees are completely reasonable. $100 one time fee, then 30% for any game key sold by valve with something like a million guaranteed impressions. Also it’s 0% if you generate the keys for free and sell them elsewhere like on your own website. All with the benefit of the steam network and hosting. I’m tired of people believing Tim’s lies under the facade of “he’s and asshole but he has a point”. He doesn’t have a point. He’s throwing a tantrum because he doesn’t have what he wants which is hundreds of millions of paying customers and he doesn’t want to put the time and investment needed into building out the infrastructure to achieve the same feat. He’s a greedy little fuck that wants to do the bare minimum to get rich while valve has been coasting as a market leader because they built the whole freakin market!
