It’s spam

Flatpak annoys me

CachyOS. I use it because I am a fan of Arch based systems, rolling releases etc, but CachyOS is optimised for my generation of hardware, and has lots of good default configurations for various apps. They have a customised proton version, a good default fish profile etc.

tl;dr It’s Arch, but optimised, and slightly more pre-configured out of the box.

I’m so excited about Cosmic! Bring it on

Plasma, but I’ll be moving to cosmic as soon as it enables auto power off of monitors on idle

I was responding to someone who saw no need for Wayland to exist, not advocating for everyone to use it

but it works

For some definitions of “works”

Offline hours? Is that something that happens often enough to need a work around?

Swiper, no swiping!

Kinda? My bare bones initial self hosted media streaming setup was put together by my partner. It’s no longer bare bones, because I’ve since upgraded it, added new functionality and I keep it going.

I got a new PC. I installed Windows on it. I felt dirty, so I said fuck it, and installed Linux instead.

It wasn’t any one specific thing, but a lifetime of windows frustrations adding up, on top of a growing frustration with enshittified tools and services in general

That was 4 months ago.

We’re on a similar timeline! I’ve been using Linux fulltime for about the same length of time, after multiple previous attempts to make it stick

Yes!

I use digikam with sidecar files on my main photo editing PC.

We sync this directory with a media server on the local network that enables all of the local devices to access the photos and tags. In theory, it means we could run digikam on another device as well, and sync data between them via updates to the sidecar files, but in practice, we don’t do this and the media server is effectively read only.

Then, we sync the media server images with a photoprism instance that we have running on external hosting. Photoprism recognises the keywords and sidecar data from digikam, which lets me search and access the images from anywhere.

Cachy Zen 4 is running nicely on my PC!

Oh, Flex Launcher looks perfect! I didn’t even know I needed it!

At the moment, fish doesn’t know what to do with run0. When that changes, I’ll start using it :)

I own my computer. But on Windows, it doesn’t feel like that…

Yay! 4.8 supports my camera! I can finally stop running darktable nightlies
