GNU Guix is also working towards full reproducibility, and has an up-to-date (but incomplete) list at https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/packages/reproducibility.h...

`powertop --auto-tune` will turn all power-related settings to their most conservative settings. You can adjust them individually by running `powertop` interactively afterwards. I would love to see power estimates before and after that comm

I didn't downvote you, but even my Macbook friends were jealous of my 20+ hours on a Thinkpad x250 (9-cell). The default power settings on Linux are pretty bad, though. Anyone with Linux on their laptop should create a boot service tha

The quote is attributed to Napoleon, who surely saw his fair share of incompetent generals. It should really be called Napoleons Razor to fall in line with Occam. Who is this Hanlon guy anyway.

Ha, that's timely. I started writing an online tutorial just today and settled on org-mode. Reading your config is immensely helpful. Thanks!

This is true. It's more of a DNS MITM protection rather than privacy fix. There are other uses of DNS than just HTTP(S) traffic though: but I'm sure these mass surveillance entities sit on massive reverse DNS databases anyway, ren

For privacy concerned netizens, especially UK based ones, I highly recommend checking out DNSCrypt[0]. It securely tunnels all your DNS requests to an endpoint of your choice. I've used it for about two years and it's very reliabl

YAML is a pain to parse. And as a human, having to remember quoting string values like "yes" and "on" to prevent them from being interpreted as booleans in YAML really grinds my gears. I don't care if it's pret

Oops, didn't see this reply until now. It's no longer recommended to use a SSD cache pool, much for the reasons you describe. You will be a lot better off using bcache or similar, on top of the OSD device.
