I like the approach drive takes, but if you are looking for full automatic sync, there is also InSync https://www.insynchq.com/ (linux client available; I've installed it from the AUR for example).

As has been noted, this is for timesyncd, usage of which is entirely optional. Additionally, as boneheaded as it is to use ntp servers from a single corporate entity when ntp.org exists, you can address this by setting your own ntp servers

I'm in way too late on this thread for this comment to be noticed, but this is so absolutely self-serving for Apple. DO NOT LAUD APPLE FOR THIS . If Apple were doing this for any reasonable purpose, they'd do it on Safari on th

I was thinking of making the PKGBUILD a github repo though also hoping that we won't need a custom build much longer :)

I jumped immediately to Arch, so can't speak to the situation with Ubuntu, sorry. I did walk through the initial out of the box boot/config of Ubuntu but was not impressed with the Dell tweaks and setup process, so dumped it. I&#x

I too wish that they had a 16 GB edition. It was the only spec that made me pause and say "Huh what"?. I was running 8bg prior to this but generally I want to max out that ram and they should offer it as a spec option.

If your definition of "Linux on the desktop" is "I see it everywhere I go" then your metric is well behind the early adopter curve. If, however, your metric is to look at influencers and early adopters, it's clearly

On my 2015 XPS 13 I my power will idle (with wifi/bt on and 50% screen brightness) down to under 5W. You can be more agressive with power savings (I run TLP, but in a pretty middle of the road configuration) and get better use out of i

As of 4.0, yes. 4.1 may be a different story, but as of rc2 I didn't think it was worth it and rolled back to 4.0.x. Another user has written a great arch wiki page on the general issues here: https://wiki.archlinux.org&#x2F

I didn't get the touchscreen version intentionally. That's not to say that it's better with/without touchscreen. I just didn't want it, and wanted a lower resolution FHD screen for power savings. I know that gnome h

I'm writing this on the first Dell I've owned since... 1999: a new "Developer Edition" XPS-13 2015 (FHD i5 variant for max power savings, which are pretty incredible). This is close the best linux laptop I've used,

I'm running Linux on a Dell XPS 13 (dev edition, FHD screen + i5 for power savings). Plenty of power for most of my laptop use, big "infinity" screen (thin bezel) making the machine small but screen big, and overall positive

Yep. I just use the monospaced variant. Unless we radically rework editors and terminals, proportionally spaced type seems unworkable.

Musk's delivery style is so refreshing compared to the Steve Jobs clones on every stage. He's knowledgeable, charming, funny. Great stuff.

I've been using input in terminal/vim for a couple months and quite like it. Not sure if it's the end-all be-all font but it's pretty easy on the eyes, and very tweakable.

I'm an original backer. I backed at the machine level, so would have received a unit. My full take away from the situation was simply that they had bad business sense and burned through cash on a several bad decisions, then hoped to

Arch on desktop and personal server. However, I recommend that you get Ubuntu up and running on your hardware first. Hardware support out of the box should be good enough to identify that things are mostly working (or not). Then put Arch

I note this above but want to emphasize the fact that lastpass-cli supports the lastpass two factor options. For anyone looking for a tool like this for use both in browser and in scripts, it's great to have two factor natively support

by Adaptive 12y ago
This. The ability to use lastpass and pull passwords out for use in scripts, offlineimap, is really lovely. The lastpass cli utility also supports their two factor options. So you get scriptability, ubiquity, and two factor. Killer.

That's a clever battery hack. I'll be using it on my sp3. Nice.

The 15 hours of battery was only for the FHD (1920x1080) display. I scanned The Verge review but wasn't clear if they tested battery life on the FHD or QHD+ display. Toss up some terminus and vim and the FHD model sounds like a great a

By default zsh will expand globs if you hit tab on the command line. However if you have more than a handful of matches it's going to be a suboptimal method of eyeballing the glob results. I prefer to use `print -l` as it will break th

One of the reasons I like zsh is its copious expansion flags. If you aren't wedded to POSIX or bash syntax, consider zsh for this reason alone. In the case of the first example he shows, the cat -n problem, you can do the following in

Considering the byline on this wired article, I'd be cautious about ascribing any accuracy to it. This is pre-scandal lehrer. I have no idea how much review Wired has done of his previous work for them, but it's very much a reader
