as an office worker... i use linux, a bunch in my team use apple's OS. i'd say it's only about half of my team that still uses windows, trending downwards. but in general i'd probably agree that more than 72% of office w

another vote for Unison, been using it for about a year for practically everything and it's great. takes a moment to grasp the concept, but it's 100% worth it. that said, i haven't managed to set it up for my android phone ye

just running my old desktop PC with proxmox. most important thing for my homelab i ever did was starting to mess around with VMs. first with virt-manager to have a gui, then just plain kvm (actually probably qemu) on the commandline using s

we've done it to ourselves, by embracing MASSIVE complexity at every turn to get the fancy new features. i keep thinking about how we don't actually need 95% of the code running at my job to actually accomplish my company's g

from my experience, heating has plenty of reliability deficit, probably getting way worse in recent years. fancy boilers with computers in them break way more often than they have any right to.

when i started out with git i made an alias to immediately do "git add . && git commit -m 'lazy' && git push" to make it easy to always save my work and ensure its on the server too. git pull is easy enou

my asus zenfone 6 was a really great phone, but all updates stopped after just 2 years. It still has plenty of power, but due to not getting security updates since 2021 i feel i have to upgrade. getting the fairphone soon. it's really

europe, but i ordered it online and shipping it back just isnt worth the effort. i guess it's a decent idea, but physical stores around here just add such a massive markup, sometimes triple the price....

we really need a better way of paying for content. There's some attempts going around of browsers or extensions paying sites, but the ones i've seen felt kinda scammy. i'd love some service where i can put in $20 a month, and

I imagine the reason we get all the AI garbage is ads. kagi downranks sites that contain a lot of ads, while google, who obviously gets their income from ads, pushes them. that alone is bound to make a massive difference. there's more,

not sure if it's possible to set up on iOS, but in settings -> account they offer a "Session Link" that contains a token that will log you in automatically. if you can set that link as your default search you shouldn'

I really hope they keep lowering the unlimited searches price. I'm pretty sure I use way less resources than my $10 pays for, but I just wanted it for the peace of mind - if enough people like me subscribe, they'll probably be abl

I was also disappointed to see them using a KDE account for donations. I like KDE but i'm pretty sure there's tons of krita users who do not use kde, me included. Found that there is a Krita on liberapay, which i much prefer as pl

I've started using Trilium notes and so far it's decent. Haven't used notion much though, it's very possible power users will miss many features - i'm just casually taking notes in it. love having a self-hosted sync

I could not get displaylink to work on my setup, but admittedly my setup is very non-standard and my displaylink display is very old. What does work perfectly though is displayport through usb-c. I use this for docking stations at work and

Running Sway on Arch Linux, pretty happy with it but it did take a while to set everything up. My biggest advice: Look into software that supports wayland natively. Xwayland still has plenty of issues, but apps built with Wayland in mind (o
