Rtfm happy ending

I have a Pixel 9 Pro which is supposed to get security updates until 2031 but at the pace Google is closing Android down I wonder if it will even be viable to stay on an AOSP degoogled ROM until then.

I feel like the future is leading us to a place where we will have to reduce our mobile computing to a trusted but slow and unreliable main phone while keeping a secondary mainstream device for banking/government apps.

Pixel 8A you can get probably very affordable now and will get updates until 2031. It’s more likely that by that time you will have dropped your phone and break it or simply want a hardware upgrade.

It also supports playing AV1 in hardware even at 4k resolution.

I always run headscale on my own server for my own network.

That’s not included VAT kek

And for some reason it’s always been this pricy with serverpartdeals, other stuff from USA not so much

Server part deals have great prices on the hardware.

But the shipping to my location for some reason is 120€, a 50% increase of the product wtf

is the warehouse in the moon or what!

Man I used to have a manually made multibootusb using grub config files and isos but moved to ventoy for convenience and now I can’t find where I backup up de configuration…

In January 2025, during routine reviews, we stumbled upon the deepin-feature-enable package, which was introduced on 2021-04-27 without consulting us or even informing us.

Damm

The easiest way by far is downloading an existing dump from kiwix

Per example wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2024-06.zim is only 54GB since it only contains text. Then via docker you could use this compose file where you have your .zim files in the wikis volume:

services:
  kiwix:
    image: ghcr.io/kiwix/kiwix-serve
    container_name: kiwix_app
    command: '*'
    ports:
      - '8080:8080'
    volumes:
      - "/wikis:/data"
    restart: always

Theorically you can actually one of the wikipedia database dumps with mediawiki but I don’t known of any easy plug and play guide

Start by using base arch and eventually you can try to use the cachyos repos if you want to try and get some performance uplift.

I’ve been using Auxio for a few months since I finally moved on from Vanilla Music https://github.com/OxygenCobalt/Auxio

Note that using headscale transfers the anxiety of contril from tailscale as a company to whatever vps you would be hosting the headscale on

I used to run a mastodon bot in termux on a galaxy s3 mini many years ago.

I believe systemd after targets work tho I have never tried them Try adding this to mount options

x-systemd.after=network-online.target

For automatically you need to add a keyfile to a slot in the luks device

# openssl genrsa -out /root/keyfile.bin 4096

# cryptsetup luksAddKey /dev/mapper/extra /root/keyfile.bin

The entry in the crypttab would be like this

extra UUID=XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX /root/keyfile.bin luks

Generally, they enforce in Linux using root permissions to mount internal hard drives unlike USB drives that can be mounted by the user If you want to mount it automatically in every boot, you could modify the /etc/fstab to add an entry for it

Clean all the cache downloads of Arch Linux Packages

pacman -Scc

Remove unused docker networks and images

docker system prune --all

Cleanup untracked git files that might be in .gitignore such as build and out directories (beware of losing data, use “n” instead of “f” for a dry run)

git clean -xdf

Do an aggresive pruning of objects in git (MIGHT BE VERY SLOW)

git gc --aggressive --prune=now

Remove old journal logs, keeping last seven days

journalctl --vacuum-time 7days

Remove pip cache

pip cache purge

Debian testing is just a small resistance step of future arch users still scared to distrohop

I used to rice a lot a swaywm/i3 panels, keybindings and menus but I’m tired now A basic Plasma with some minor tweaks switched to Breeza Dark is enough.

Maybe when the merge transcoded downloads on the official clients. rn depending on streamyfin
