Wear Sunscreen

If I could offer you only one tip for the future, Sunscreen would be it

I got Terminus for the TRMNL set up using Podman on my server running NixOS.

Although I’m actually planning on replacing Terminus with my own simple server app that way it can be even more declarative (no Postgres database of devices/users/screens) and easier for me to customize. The API I’ll have to implement is extremely straightforward, so I don’t anticipate it taking too long.

I’m curious what alternative to Pi-hole you set up. (I’m planning on installing Pi-hole soon but wanna hear all my options)

good bot

Take this with a grain of salt since I haven’t done much scraping (yet; I have a project I just started planning)

I’ve heard you’re more likely to get blocked for using a VPN since some sites will block requests originating from data centers, which is less likely to happen coming from a residential IP address. (Although if you’re already using a VPS, the right proxy may help)

This might be useless advice, but it might just be best to increase (and randomize) the amount of time between requests.

And to answer your question, Mullvad is what I use, and it’s what I see reccomended (from both Reddit, and The Wirecutter) the most often because they store so little of your data, and you can even pay in cash.

I’m so dumb. I thought this was gonna be about “free as in beer” media

When I first decided to switch to Linux, I started exclusively using apps that were available on Linux. This way I was able to gradually transition my workflows one app at a time without any rush. When I was ready to install Linux, I did it on a new computer so I still had access to everything on the old computer and there was no risk of going computer-less if the installation went sideways.

Also, keep in mind that Asahi only works on M1 and M2 Macs. (If you have an old Intel Mac, you can just run normal Linux without Asahi)

Oh and Veronica Explains has a great video about her experience with Asahi.

Oh, well that’s nice of them

And if you’re specifically seeking out bugs, many open source projects provide some form of beta or nightly releases that need special attention before they ship it as an official release.

Downvoted for no neofetch

I haven’t seen them say anything about their older phones so I would assume this only applies to the new one

Huge strides to make things run anywhere and be more involved with the open source community.

Are you familiar with Embrace, extend, and extinguish?

I use NixOS because I love that every time I install an app or tweak a setting, I can document it with a commit in git. So if I fuck something up, I can revert the change. And if I get another computer, all my apps and settings are already there. And if I wanna help another NixOS user do something I’ve already done, I can just share the code.

Paper money

Thank you for telling me how to feel, now I don’t even have to read the article!
