I’ve used GlazeWM a bit before switching fully https://github.com/glazerdesktop/GlazeWM

That counts imho.

I’d still use LUKS. Even on USB keys.

I still wouldn’t use Veracrypt on a Linux disk. What about LUKS instead?

If you’re only using the external disk for days you could use ntfs with bitlocker and mount that in Linux. When your rest to fully migrate you could then do something Linux only if you wanted.

You should check out d2. It’s a code to diagram tool. You put some very simple coke and it draws your diagram. Quite quick and useful. Been using it for a while now.

I’ve always said this to people. I use Windows, Linux, and MacOS. I use whatever best suits what I’m doing and I like that idea. It may end up being 20/70/10, but so what. Why battle a shitty Linux app If you have a good MacOS app. Or maybe your liking that windows app for a certain task.

In reality this is really only something a dev or power user would really do though.

I had an issue where my docker networks started overlapping my network addresses and I had some issues to connect to the machine etc. so perhaps check to make sure your docker addresses don’t overlap your home network range somehow. Also keep the subnet mask in mind as the range might be bigger than what the first few numbers indicate.

I have no idea what types of files these are but it could turn out that you should rather use Git and push/pull from both sides which could works better.

Just a suggestion :)

Exactly. It’s documented in the config files!

Love seeing the older machines! I’ve got a pile of old machines too and they rock. They are slow but you know what to expect and you tolerate it because the machine has earned it. Much like a grand parent 🫣

Heh welcome!

If I was to give anyone advice it’d be to set up a way to make really solid notes/documentation. Be it a text/markdown file or a google doc. Put down the commands you run, put down the steps and then a link to where you found it. As you muck around and so on you’re going to remember that you wanted to get xyz going and you struggled and you can then refer back to those notes.

That has been the single most valuable thing I’ve learnt from this whole Linux endeavour I’ve been on.

When I reinstall I just follow my notes to get all the devices and so on going. Definitely worth the trouble!

Good luck and tell us how you go!

Thanks!!

Care to share the wallpaper?

Love the theme and also your wallpaper.

Ah nice! Tried Linux on the MBP? I just this week took the plunge with my 2016 MacBook 13,3. It was a MISSION to get everything working but I think later models have better support.

Which MacBook Pro do you have?

Thanks for the info. I wasn’t quite aware of the 13” and it’s resolution. That is quite comparable I agree.

I feel like these both lack really good high res displays. Why? It’s be awesome if it had something comparable to a MacBook Pro resolution.

I’ve recently started using proxmox -backup-client. Works well. Goes to my backup server along with my vm image backups. Works nicely with full deducing and such. Quite good savings if you are backing up multiple machines.

I the. Rsync this up to cloud once a day.

I have to say that I used to be a timeshift fan but I’ve started moving to snapper instead. Both are very similar but with snapper you can have multiple configs, one per sub vol. each with different settings. I like having a separate root and home schedules set up. Means I can restore one or the other independently. Works a treat.
