    no, because if you used dependency cooldown you wouldn't be using the latest version when you start your project, you would be using the one that is days/versions old edit: but if …

    I use Regolith Desktop packages to run Sway with Gnome. It's basically i3/Sway + Gnome settings, and works really well. I get the benefit of a sane DE (Sway) and somewhat easier se…

    My Firefox does this on Windows. I have no idea how many tabs I have open, but regularly the whole YouTube tab I have open freezes, especially if you try to watch one video, and th…

    That's a good tip, thanks! I have a older i7-6700K machine around here somewhere, that could work. But no ECC ram, and no idea if it draws any less power in the end. Some setup wit…

    The problem with those is that they are insanely expensive for what you get. Here locally the DS423+ (4-bay one) is like $614 USD + shipping without any disks, and has a Intel Cele…

    I have a older Intel S2600CP dual Xeon board now, which still works fine, but is a huge SSI-EEB board and draws like 90W mostly idle. I think most of my use-case could be covered b…

    What models are new enough to consider? Do any of these support ECC ram? And would you say mirrored ZFS is good enough for home use? Most of my storage is media for Plex or edited …

    What model did you get? I've been looking at various micros on eBay/local sites, but none that I find are actually available for reasonable prices shipped to me (Norway). Finding l…

    Because it's a tablet in a magnetic case keyboard thing it doesn't stand up on it's own. It needs a surface for the back of the case to be on for the screen to stay upright. A norm…

    It's really unfortunate because other then that it's still a great laptop. 4k screen with touch, just enough CPU and RAM for browsing, some coding/ssh terminals and more. I bought …

    If anyone happens to have a XPS 13 9350/60 palm rest case that isn't broken, let me now! I was very happy with the laptop until last year when the whole metal case where the hinges…

    Mine never knows either, and if I dare use the cruise control or autopilot on the highway near Oslo it phantom brakes by bridges and shadows randomly. Same bridge it was phantom br…

    I'm not motivated, but I am stubborn. I try to not wait for motivation, but rather go do something else, anything else for a little while. This applies to anything really, be it wo…

    I'm a long time Plex user, and I have not received this email. Not sure if I should be worried or if the breach has just affected a subset of users. I use random unique passwords f…

    Yeah! No idea why I still have a VPS at Digital Ocean compared to this. For a Basic / 4 GB / 2 vCPUs (aka shared cpu 4GB ram) instance I'm ending up at like $28.5 per month includi…

    I make my pools with the serial number /dev/disk/by-id/ names, like ata-WDC_WD30EFRX-68EUZN0_WD-XXXXXXXXXXX. That is not going to change between different machines as far as I know…
