Which part of the globe are you folks based on? Any advise for someone seeking opportunities in another country (that may require visa sponsorship)?

I’m using it right now, at least for personal project development. It’s surprisingly reliable. Aside from the well-known USE flags that let you nitpick stuff at compile time letting me mix newer stuff while keeping the rest stable.

I do have my complaints:

• it’s rolling release, making it less fitting for production use, tho not as bleeding edge as Arch
• the package management logic could perhaps be more robust; one of my pet peeves is that it keeps pulling the latest version of Python despite not being used
• some slight, relatively meaningless changes in package metadata might trigger recompilation
• the default configurations might not be the most sane

I have found sweet spot and preserved my configuration here for anyone to use.

I feel like Indonesian is what Esperanto could’ve been.

As someone who’s into composting:

Some maggots (specifically of black soldier flies) can literally climb out of their buckets.

So many old computers & calculators here.

I have an Apple IIe, but at the moment it’s at my friend’s place. What I have with me are a bunch of Thinkpads: a barely working X60, a fine X200 with busted battery, and a combination of 20 and 30 series ones I am currently using.

May I insert some additions of analog here?

I got a Rotel RA-04 audio amp from 2006 from my dad that I am currently using, and I’m sure there are older stuff where it’s from.

Aside from that, a Yaesu FT-60 FM transceiver made in 2004 still running strong.

Did the magic smoke come out?

If so, you can try replacing the chip. Some basic SMD (de)soldering is required.

If not, you can try reseating your clip. Hopefully the chip is still good. It may have more tolerance than specified.

While many comments here are correct that it would affect less than you’d expect, there are things that may not be covered.

For example:

• there’s no setting for hyperthreading
• no way to disable SATA drives, in case you’d like to be selective
• you’ll need to reflash the BIOS if you want to change boot order permanently

Also, make sure you have the correct video BIOS.

How would the lack of passive CPU powersaving affect things on your end?

Good bot.

Serious question: you’d use that for your daily driver?

How would Flatpak know which driver to install?

Still better than no update.

I have to ask: why so many European country specific feddit instances?

Could be things to execute. They may run a shell script (source it if they don’t have exec permission), but they won’t have all the previleged commands (definitely no dd)

I currently have a Thinkpad W530 with a Quadro K2000M. Because I have coreboot as its firmware, I am able to run completely on the discrete GPU. So far I’ve been doing great.

I’ve looked on the feature matrix of the nouveau support and my GPU (Kepler) happens to have all the features checked-off, with the exception of dynamic power management (mostly WIP).

Right now, I’m running KDE wayland with the nouveau driver with no issue.

On the other hand, I’ve tried having the hybrid GPU and it sucks.

Not sure if this fits your exact need, but I’ve been running my blog on Grav CMS. It’s really easy to setup as it uses flat file to store your content instead of database. You could just download a tarball, extract it, point your HTTP server (and php-fpm) to it, and see it on your web browser. If you know your PHP, you could even customize a theme.

Anyways, feel free to check out my blog: timkenhan.co

How the mighty has fallen.

Hope it turns out some good one!

Never too late to retry 😉

I make coffee everyday. I brew about two teaspoon of coffee once a day, sometimes twice.

I’d say I’d never generate too much coffee ground as it’s really easy to handle. It pretty much has everything it needs to make compost, yet it can also help other stuff too, be it onion peel, banana peel, green onion bottom, eggshell, ash, you name it!

I recently found that it really goes well with leftover fruit pulps. My wife likes to make juice and would filter it sometimes. That leftover would then sit there fermenting for a few days. In a few days the spoiling fruit smell disappeared. I think I found one of the best combination I could find!
