I know. If you read carefully, I mention that the benefit lies in getting one thing that you can return wholesale and where you don‘t need to debug the origin of the issue yourself.

I bought myself the asrock N100 itx mainboard with ram and drives. Thought that it’s super simple.

I’m now fighting with issues since June. The machine is always freezing after 2 days runtime. Just recently found out that it’s probably the ram stick even though I explicitly bought a stick on the mb compatibility list. Will take probably two more weeks until I get a replacement. I couldn’t use it as NAS in the meantime since I couldn’t be sure that my data is safe.

In my case that’s ok since I’m not dependent on it. You should consider if this level of jank is ok for you.

Otherwise go for the „expensive“ 2/4 bay nas where you can just return the whole thing in case something breaks and you don’t need to find out which component is faulty. Have it running reliably otherwise, with software etc set up for you. I underestimated the time investment.

The extended approach with fixed intervals and breaks doesn’t work for me, but I’m using a timer to get started on things that I can’t commit to otherwise. It’s mostly initial momentum in my case.

It’s about field of view. I have the same issue with my calendar and try to make it more visible now.

This is from the article: „If there are any genuine users of these drivers remaining that are still running an upstream kernel, the drivers can always be reverted / merged back but otherwise they are gone without anyone maintaining them.“

Stupid question, but do they prevent google from recreating their own browser? Chromium is mostly open source. They could just fork the project, rename it and support it much better than the open source community. This would place them again as the most used browser due to conveniences of ecosystem integration etc.

For me the question is if plants can actually hear these distress sounds, otherwise it’s not really for communication.

Yeah I need this too! But for me a long list is in itself overwhelming. So I started to use blank cards (like those in hotels) and only put 3 todos on them with a whiteboard marker. I still have the long list somewhere on my pc but this way, I only ever see 3 calls to action. I tend to make them more specific on the card. This also comes with the satisfaction of wiping away a task when it’s done (I hate a long list with striked through tasks, because I have to scan to find the remaining ones).

Thanks for sharing your story. Very interesting!

I think that’s still new, in terms of adoption.

IoT at home is still new and it’s good that there are explorative attempts. Just don’t expect to be there when the market found what works.

This „dependencies until you feel overwhelmed „ hits a bit too close to home.

Yeah globalization probably changes cultural celebrations a lot. Interesting perspective.

Nice atmosphere

I also like the LTSC version for my workstation, less nonsense.

I had the same experience.

Infrastructure is not free.

Sounds like meditation

I feel you. I assume people with better management skills are able to triage tasks and goals in advance but I just let life filter out what I can’t get done. But this makes me feel super anxious, disappointed and guilty all the time.

The title is a bit misleading. They’re building a tool to convert c to rust which is supposed to help with the transition.
