Instead of the plug, you could get a soap dispenser for $25-30.

There were decorations for sale at Costco in California in late August. Decorative gourd season decorations hadn’t even shown up yet.

For sure.

I am excited to see more arm-based Linux devices for consumers. And the Snapdragon-based VR is exciting on that front.

It definitely won’t change anything for tomorrow or next year, but it does make me hopeful that better support is in the relatively near future.

I run Bazzite and Garuda (with the cachyos kernel). Only the Garuda box is Nvidia and has been great since kde+Wayland+Nvidia stabilized a year or so ago.

I think any of them (including cachyos) is a good choice. Optimization is diminishing returns, so I’d be looking for a distro with the default settings and tools I like as a much higher priority.

For example, I like Garuda’s btrfs with automatic checkpoints on upgrade so I can just send a garuda update (which is pacman Syu with bells and whistles) and almost ignore the output even when I get lazy and don’t update for a month. Don’t take this as a recommendation to ignore updates on an arch-based distro. There will eventually be consequences.

With bazzite, updates really are in the same class because of the immutable base. But I’m also deep into containers and have no issue with the ergonomics of layering and management, which are improving, but definitely not very newbie friendly.

Anyway, give them test drives. You’d be surprised how much changing a package manager can impact your ability to do things for a while if you aren’t familiar.

They mentioned it at the bottom of the blog: works ok Linux and macos. And they want you to enable it because there a bug they’re trying to reproduce.

I usually prefer “soggy flesh sack”, but I do admit the “meat mech” angle has me intrigued.

It will depend on where you live.

Many US states have laws that carve out exceptions for work done on your own time and equipment. If the contact doesn’t call these out as exceptions somewhere, it’s a lazy contact.

Our first official date was opening night for the Nic Cage movie The Family Man. Married 3.5 years later.

Rocket appliances.

You can search the package database to determine which package(s) provide a file with dpkg --search $file

You’re gonna hate/love learning about how Documentdb works (it’s postgres with extensions).

The framework 13 definitely has a fingerprint reader. Top right corner power button, just like a Mac.

Just as usable as the one on my old M2 Pro work laptop too.

Fwiw, I did the DIY and brought my own 32gb of ram and 2TB nvme to keep the costs down a bit.

One more here. I had actually had forgotten it was a thing when, of course, the apple user needed a charge but didn’t bring their cable.

This was 2 weeks ago. I have a pixel 6. That was the first time I used it.

You might want to check out distrobox. Nice way to access apps for other distros or package managers like they’re native.

I’m also on Garuda for my main box (Bazzite on the framework 13), and I have an Ubuntu distrobox for dev work with one dev project, another for general tools that are only released as .debs, one running fedora for things that “only support RHEL”, etc.

Windows was just the boat you already knew.

Now you have a new (more adaptable) one and don’t know all it’s squeaks and rattles. You’re neither dumb nor is something wrong. You just aren’t familiar with what it needs from you.

Give it some time (a week compared to how long in windows?) and attention and soon you’ll wonder why you ever second guessed it.

Quite a crossover with Batman, Bewitched, and Mission impossible!

Just my opinion of course: I wrote golang for years and wanted to love it for the first few. I like some of the patterns, but I got very tired of writing (and reviewing) boilerplate (or in the case of reviews, what should have been boilerplate but got missed). I know it has gotten a bit better in the past few years, but at this point I’d need a huge reason to leave python or look past rust.

Currently giving it a try on a small API+async task project.

I think the hardest thing for me has been discovering which dependencies are (can be) injected and through what magic string. But, it’s also easy to step through the source to find answers.

After many years of DIYing validation with Django, then attrs+flask, and then getting a lot of that work for free with pydantic+fastapi, msgspec+litestar feels like the natural evolution into a mature pattern.

The sqlalchemy models are first-class citizens, the service and repository classes just work (especially well if you use their advanced alchemy wrapper).

And the devs are very responsive (fixed a tiny bug I found in a weird corner with tests in a matter of hours).

I’m gushing a bit. So I’ll just end it by saying I agree with the author: it’s worth a look.

Something like this could do it on a more temporary basis: https://www.vevor.com/machinery-mover-c_10427/vevor-furniture-dolly-heavy-duty-furniture-mover-with-5-wheels-1200-lbs-capacity-p_010142392527
