Can I recommend pocketknife? There's a guy who writes hilarious reviews of knives. Only about one a week, but weird knife Wednesday is almost as high on my list of fun stuff as Taco Tuesday!

I don't actually use the arr stack, but if you set up Tailscale it won't hurt anything else by being set up. I just know that it's pretty straightforward to use, so I thought I'd throw in a good word for it.

Nobody is addressing tailscale so far, so I'll throw my two cents in: I have tailscale on my phone and my laptop, and I have a bunch of stuff running at home, and they all act like they're on the same network as long as I'm logged in. There are a lot of alternatives out there, but I find it quite useful. I have immich for my pictures and pihole for ad blocking using docker. The basic docker tutorials are worth following. All I really use is docker ps, docker image docker compose up (-d), docker pull. Nano to edit the yaml files I find online. Unhacked so far!

Oh, you've met my sister!

I've used Remmina from Debian Gnome. I had to turn on dynamic resolution update, and had to pick a color theme that was different from the default, but then it worked fine.

I run a Pi400 every now and then... It's not setting any speed records, and starts to lag out after 10 tabs, but it runs all day on an external phone battery. There's the odd app that nobody bothered porting to ARM, but I have more trouble with Arm Windows than Arm Linux.

I had a pinebook 1080p, same exact experience. Fine, not fantastic, good battery life. It keeled over and died after a year though.

Cost: one fan, four air filters, duct tape.

Purifies better than any commercial filter, never stuck with being unable to find a replacement filter.

Came here to mention this.

Spacey ruined so much...

Yes, actually! Not so much gaming, but it seems like I'll be surfing or whatever, and then... Dialup speed for a few seconds... Then normal again. My router is about 15' away, just upstairs. Hmmm... I dual boot the laptop, I'll see if it's just Fedora.

I opened the garage door last night, what if my 3D printer got too cold and ruined the print?

Umm... Where are you? Half my circle of friends are near panic about the fact that half of our country is now on fire every summer...

 

I'm going to pass on this because I ordered a Bluefox NX, but I do miss thumb typing!

 

So, I don't know why they're pushing the AI stuff on this, but it looks like it's about the size of a foldable phone without actually being a folder, and the huge price tag that comes with it. This is a bit tempting to me. I might order the Bluefox NX1 just because it's so dang cheap, though.

 

This is the first thing I've seen in forever. It looks kind of crap, to be honest, but at least it's not Unihertz. (Two Unihertz phones, two total lack of WiFi connectivity... Twice very shy.) This may replace my Mode 1 Retro ii.

 

I like it so far, although it does have some quirks. I find that I tend to ignore the bottom half and just hold the top bit like I would hold a normal phone. Not super fast, but it goes easily in my pocket, and now I have the nickname "Flip phone".
