I like simplicity. I use i3, Firefox with enough privacy extensions, Emacs and terminal. And I love to be able to have a great keyboard, where sadly the ThinkPads are the only choice nowadays. Using Mac OS X or Windows will give me a headac

OpenBSD does not yet have kvm support, so you can run qemu, but it'll be very slow.

Works really well out of the box with certain laptops. Excellent man pages. A good amount of software and a good track record with security. FreeBSD is nice for a file server, OpenBSD for a laptop.

Oh, I need Docker a lot. And our target platforms are Linux and OSX, so I just want to have some kind of standard OS on Desktop. Also stuff like Signal, Spotify etc. I still haven't been able to get running on OpenBSD, maybe some day..

Been running 6.5 snapshots in my travel laptop for some weeks and everything just works. The laptop is a ThinkPad X200 which is a bit slow for my needs, but upgrading it to ThinkPad X230 later this week should help. I really enjoy how simpl

We at https://prisma.io are 50% Rust and 50% TypeScript since the beginning of the year. At least what I know we do no crypto ;)

I just installed OpenBSD to my ThinkPad X200. 5 hours of battery life, everything worked out of the box, and closing the lid suspends the machine, opening it up brings it awake. Every time. I tend to go with older laptops, but they are defi

We'll build the server first with Rust. Hopefully me or somebody else has time to do the library later. Would be fun, but right now all focus is on the server rewrite.

We are really waiting for it in Prisma and might need to start working with the unstable soon until it lands.

I use KeepassXC which I sync to my home NAS from two computers and my phone. Keepass DX is the best Android app I've found and it supports opening the database with your fingerprint. I don't see the fuzz here if needing to have a

It is such a phenomenon in Finland there is a great TV-series called M/S Romantic made out of the people going to the cruises. If you get the cheapest tickets, some fights, noise, sex and/or vomit is something you'd expect...

Yep. A 3€ Hetzner server with Wireguard and pi-hole. Running several private services on my server that are just available in my private network. Like an extension to my phone that's always on and working perfectly. The only thing I wa

I think nobody else goes where they are going right now. Very forward looking and absolutely amazing listening when you "get it". Elseq, NTS Sessions and now these 40+ hours of live archives released. There is an algorithm that ju

And Come to Daddy was a joke against the current mainstream, that was The Prodigy in those days. Although most of his stuff has been some kind of a joke always, even though its usually brilliant stuff.

You should give a listen to the early Autechre or Speedy J. Or anything Warp put out in the 90s.

Seems to go more to the direction what Autechre is doing nowadays. I'd recommend to have a listen to the NTS Sessions if you feel adventurous...

You looked up a while ago then. More like 900-1600 euros and going up. At least if you want to live inside the Ring.

It's even nicer if you DJ and mix with two Technics turntables. The feel of vinyl is a big part of the fun.

What about a command line utility to do some basic Unix tasks? Usually those are the easiest and usually also very fun things to do to learn Rust.

https://console.hetzner.cloud/ has OpenBSD 6.4. You must purchase a server with one of the four official Linux images first, then go server settings and from the iso images you can mount the OpenBSD install ISO and reboot.

I'd wait for Ubuntu 19.04 to get wayland-protocols 0.17, which is required by wlroots. If you want to test it now, Arch linux has a package already: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/swa

I'm also waiting to get the scaling to work, but meanwhile this is my workaround: - Firefox: about:config set layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to 1.5 - Emacs: Font size 16 - Terminal: Font size 16 - Signal: start with --force-device-scale-fac

The desktop number 5 with cmus, alsamixer and a terminal music visualizer with gaps and transparency for eye candy. Not everything needs to have a real use case!

Sway was the reason I chose a Radeon card to my office workstation. Been running Sway from Github since beginning of this year and it is very stable, fast and great experience, supporting my old i3 configuration as-is. Now I know my next ho
