paru -Syu; poweroff most evenings

Yeah, I thought so to. I’ll definitely try that

Lol, reported for the URL “blog”

Arch if you want to do the install completely by yourself and/or have some setup that can’t be replicated by the usual installers.

EndeavourOS/Cachy if you want a simple GUI installer for Arch, but you don’t get bragging rights.

Don’t use Manjaro

You can still use VMs and do containers in there. That’s what I do, makes separating different services very easy.

The publishers aren’t indie, but they publish lots of indie games. Assuming you define indie as not big established studio instead of how they are published.

Works on my machine

I’m calling the bubble burst for a few weeks after the first large AI company has to go public due to being unable to finance their money burning scheme.

I wanted to contribute a while back and found a bunch of duplicate authors. Unfortunately there wasn’t any way to merge them and the relevant issue has been open for years.

Why try so many distros? It’s not like most of them are gonna be substantially different.

I’m always annoyed at the “AirDrop alternative” marketing. It’s not. It requires both of your devices to share a network.

The truest AirDrop alternative that uses discovery and ad-hoc connections between devices is FlyingCarpet. It definitely needs a simpler UI though.

I have a few qualms with this app:

1. For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem. From Windows or Mac, this FTP account could be accessed through built-in software.

The Pinephone used way underpowered hardware when it came out.

Regardless, there’s been a lot of progress from postmarketOS and others the past years and especially accelerated once again with the original announcement to kill installing apps outside of the PlayStore.

I’ve also gone ahead and put in a reservation for the new Jolla phone to support another alternative.

What’s a good way to discover artists on Bandcamp? Most artists I listen to at the moment are with the usual big labels and don’t sell on Bandcamp.

It’s been years since they last promised a Linux client.

Be careful with that. Home Assistant also has plenty of integrations that just talk to a company’s cloud service.

You assume everyone writes shebangs correctly. Also ideally you’d use #!/usr/bin/env bash

That’s why it’s a shell for the 90s and not the 80s

The distinction is important. Using AI tools implies you check and verify the output. Vibecoding is not doing that or having no idea what is happening.

Newer GTK (through phosh and gnome-mobile) makes for great mobile applications, but no way I’m using those on the desktop.
