Gnome because it is the default in my district, works right out of the box and I'm too old to fart around with customizing things anymore.

I just want to get to work.

If I remember correctly, in a previous blog pretty, they started that k-9 would continue to be updated with the same functionality. There was something else other than branding that was going to be different but it wasn't consequential (at least not enough for me to remember).

I really should do another review. I've had my Framework for about the same time. Most of the time it is hooked up to my dock and a 4 port KVM. My biggest annoyance is that switching back to my Framework on the KVM it often doesn't wake up or properly display. My work computers running Windows rarely have that issue and my Linux desktop never does. (I run Linux on the Framework.) I suspect that there is a setting I need to adjust for diving to keep it from going into hibernation, but I haven't put that much effort into it yet.

When not docked, my biggest issue is the touchpad. I think some form of dirt got into it and the clicking doesn't always register. But I'm too lazy to fix.

And if I watch videos it gets pretty hot. Again, there are probably things I could do to fix that.

So, really the laptop is great, I'm just a shitty owner/user.

My hinges are not the floppy ones.

I'm not sure about libre office, but Excel has lookup and lookup. I've not personally used those. But might be of help.

I have the same issue. I want something simple but has encryption, native mobile apps for both Android and iOS, and threading. Facebook style posts with comments would be great.

For now we're using matrix and element bc I can find anything better. Unless something more compelling comes along we'll probably migrate to something xmpp based like snikket.

Has anyone tried selfhosting ente photos? Curious how well it works.

 

I'm looking for a docking station for my frame.work laptop running Linux. The big ask is I want to be able to hook up to my big monitor with a 3840x2160 resolution (I think it is 8K?).

Has anyone found one that works with that combination of factors?

I've read a bunch of posts on the frame.work forums and looked at a bunch of docks on Amazon, but haven't found one that gives me confidence it'll work.

Please, for all that is holy, plug in your laptop.

 

If you recently placed an order, check your email.

Good on them for coming clean so quick.

 

I have a number of email accounts including free services like Gmail and yahoo, as well as private domains I own. I'm looking for a way to pull all of my mail into a local store that I can access using my mail client (Thunderbird). I want to keep the accounts separate from each other. Any recommendations?

 

I ordered two weeks ago making it into the July batch. Got the shipping notification on Monday and received my laptop today. I ordered the DIY i5 edition with 16GB RAM, two USB-C modules, 1 USB-A, an HDMi, and a 1TB storage.

I unpacked everything and assembled it. It really isn't what I would call a DIY experience, all I had to do was install the RAM, SSD, bezel, and input panel.

I booted to the BIOS and disabled secure boot, added the grub UEFI key from prepared USB drive of Fedora 38. My error was not realizing I re-enabled secure boot when I copied the key. Booting from the USB I kept getting the message that I needed to load the kernel first. After reformatting and re-imaging the USB drive a couple of times, I ended up writing the installer image to the 1TB storage module before I realized my error and disabled secure boot again.

Fedora proceeded to install without issue. I followed the install guide on the framework forums. The fingerprint reader did not work, but everything else seems to work out of the box. Took a few minutes to run dnf upgrade and install some software.

Initial thoughts: I like the keyboard, it feels good with a bit of resistance, the key texture isn't a smooth friction-less plastic, almost more like a velvet feeling, kind of rubbery. Rubbery isn't the right word, but I just can't think of a better way to describe it. The display is much more square than what I am use to, so I am going to reserve my judgement on that for now. The screen is matt, another change that will take time to decide whether or not I like it, but it was something I was looking for. Glossy screens reflect too much when working in the light and require looking at it at just the right angle. Chassis feels solid, a bit of heft but lighter than the HP Spectre 13 that I am coming from. The microphone and camera along the top of the screen have built-in slide covers; I don't remember seeing anything about that when I was looking at the Framework, so it was a pleasant surprise.

Looking forward to share more after I have a chance to really make use of it.

 

This looks like it could be amazing. Maybe a self hosting dream, or a flash in the pan.

 

I have 3 different libraries, one for comics, one for TTRPG books, and my main one for actual eBooks. My main library is over 4GB with over 1,000 books.

No, I haven't read all of them, but I am working on it. They have been collected over the last 15 years from Sony eReader store, Kobo books, Amazon Kindle, B&N, Archive.org and other Public Domain books hosts, Humble Bundle, Story Bundle, and various other places.

Largest categories are Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and Mystery.

I wish there was a way to link to an Android app.

This assortment is run under a combination of Proxmox LXC containers, docker containers, and Yunohost. Mostly I use it to play around, but most are heavily used by my wife and I. I'm planning to rebuild everything and making things more "official". Looking to convert from a "lab" to actually making it "production" with solid failure routes and backups. I am looking to move anything currently under Yunohost to docker/lxc and to start making use of podman. Recently saw CosmOS and think it might be a good alternative to portainer.

Hardware:

  • Node 1: Lenovo m93p tiny with 16GB RAM and 250GB SSD - Proxmox
  • Node 2: Lenovo m93p tiny with 16GB RAM and 250GB SSD - Proxmox
  • Node 3: Gigabyte Brix with 16GB RAM and 500GB Sata SSD, 128GB m.2 SSD - Proxmox
  • Node 4: Trigkey Green G3 with 16GB RAM and 1TB Sata SSD - Proxmox
  • TPLink managed switch
  • TerraMaster 2-bay NAS with 2x 2TB HD (NFS host for containers)
  • Synology ds220j NAS with 2x 8TB HD (backup of home desktops, laptops, cell phones, and lab systems)
 

Let's start off with what a container is compared to a virtual machine.
