As much as I enjoy ease of use via package management, I prefer AppImage.

Although I have more flatpaks, the apps I do have under appimage tend to crash less often compared to flatpaks.

If an app is available as a native package, 10 times out of 10 will go for the native package

I however, would prefer a system without flatpak & snap. :tux:

If the pi ends up with a flavor of Linux:tux:, don’t forget the ZRAM compression.

On my debian I use default settings and end up with nearly double available memory.

It also reduces disk usage by giving ZRAM priority over swap.

The rp5 could be a:

Luanti/VoxelLibre server

Kiwix Wikipedia server

Pi-hole of course.

My rp4 can run the three just fine.

Could try something like home assistant
(Rp4 is just a little underpowered but can function)

Could also turn it into a NAS.

2 minute sci-show answer why it isn’t a good idea to mix certain medications & grapefruit.

Enzymes in grapeftuit can cause some medications in a safe dose to become too effective often in dangerous ways.

Main advantage of sodium batteries: no volatile components.

I’m willing to take a capacity hit if the battery can survive a hit or puncture without exploding.

Yesterday I spent time cleaning junk drawers to find an expanded & bloated lithium ion battery pack that was still holding a charge. Went straight into a fireproof battery bag.

Can’t wait til that’s a thing of the past.

Also, sodium is far more sustainable plus abundant compared to lithium.

GeForce Now gives me the ick.

I want to own my own hardware.

My next card will likely be a Radeon card.

Probably used.

@mycodesucks

Heh, I have done just this for a friend of the family on Linux mint Debian edition.
It works out alright but I always feel weird setting it up.

I had made a little mistake after attempting to try out the experimental Cinnamon Wayland desktop on said machine & failed.

… Then boot looped … Because autologin was setup.

Tiny bit embarrassing. Oops. Better keep backup minimal CLI Linux installs to repair/restore on seperate partition but seperate drives are best.

That’s what the PCI-X to PCI adaptor is for, keeping the angry pixy smoke in & pushing the 1’s & 0’s. :computerfairies:

SAD person speaking, supplements are not a replacement for Sunlight, I think the supplents do work.
But it’s missing other effects that direct & indirect sunlight has on your entire body.

Vid D is synthesized in the skin by cholecalciferol & UVB light to create usable Vit D for immune, bone & calcium metabolism health.
If possible, walking in the forest/woods, really any green spaces due to reflective properties of the color @ 9-11am sunlight for max effect 20 mins daily.

I had just migrated all my old steam Library around a month ago from my NTFS drive to ext4 because I was recieving non-stop permission errors.
Other oddities were observed but cleared with ext4 usage.
The real move is to migrate away from all Microsoft products.
I’m not editing my fstab for steam. :gphn_cup:

On a bright note:
I finally got my Nvidia 980ti gaming on Wayland yesterday.
I couldn’t get it to log into Wayland a month ago.

🐒 The One Piece is REAL! ⚓

All episodes up to Episode 37 showcases well of what the entire series is all about.
If you are not into it by 37 episodes in, I don’t think One Piece is for you.
I’ve also seen one too many haters turn their tune by then.
I no longer watch the series at release, instead I watch with other reactors that I feel like calling my Nakama.
🥹 Beware: prepare to cry & bring a towel to catch those tears. This series can & will draw raw emotion out of you.
