I wish I had somewhere to be deported to.

The snow doesn’t bother me nearly as much as the -20 degree F temps. These nips could cut glass.

What do you think cools the fluid? Air.

There are plenty of great air coolers that can keep up. Most of the AIO coolers can’t keep up with the best air options.

If you’re looking to OC and squeeze out a negligible amount of performance, then a custom loop would be alright, but it’s never been an absolute must to liquid cool any desktop grade processor.

Air cooling has always been fine.

Thanks, it was a rough year. Cancer is a real bummer.

We’ll be like herding cats without our meds.

My dogs were 16 and 7 when they passed last year. 😞

Thanks for sharing. I’ll be keeping an eye on this project. Looks promising!

Frigate is wonderful, and getting better all the time. I also run Scrypted, which is another fantastic tool! The scrubbing on Scrypted NVR is a lot less painful, but a lot more expensive. I enjoy supporting small open source projects, though.

I tried and failed. I couldn’t figure out a pleasant way to be able to copy and paste code. The only thing I could come up was to use a different editor for those instances.

Now I’m stuck between Joplin for work and Obsidian for personal, until I finally make up my mind. I like that I can create a second account for Joplin and share just the work related notes while I’m using company infrastructure.

Maybe firewalld is getting in the way. You can temporarily disable it:

sudo systemctl stop firewalld

If that doesn’t work, you can see if SELinux is the issue. Temporarily disable:

sudo setenforce 0

Be sure to re-enable SELinux:

sudo setenforce 1

That explains the consistent decline in performance. Thanks for the info.

My kids, unfortunately, love the game, so I’ve kept up with performance a little bit. It seems they’re trying their best to make it run like trash. They can’t even support the few operating systems it does run on. I haven’t noticed any mind blowing graphics updates, but fps is around a third of what it used go be. Such a garbage company.

That’s great! I also use smart plugs for grow lamps! So convenient. The home country of the creator of Linux. Lucky! :)

Tech to make day to day chores easier have had the largest impact for us. The automated self cleaning liter box for the cats, the cordless vacuum, the cordless electric mop (such as Tineco), electric lawn mowers (no maintenance), smart outlets and automations via home assistant.

Another big one is the RO water filter at the kitchen sink. No more bottled water. Bonus points if you get one that tells you when fillters need to be changed. So nice.

I would absolutely run FreeBSD on my laptop if the WiFi wasn’t awful. It doesn’t matter which chipset, max is like 20 Mbps. Rouuugh.

On the server side of things, Docker/Podman is so convenient, and keeps me from blowing so much time on “maintenance.”

Hopefully, some day, I can daily a BSD. Until then- NixOS!

I wish they’d add touchpad scroll speed adjustments.
