@Gina it is unfortunately not over yet, and the senate outcome will prolong the suffering. I do have a tiny bit more hope for the future though.
Running #QubesOS on my NUC again. I’ve missed the compartmentalization the last year or two as it’s been impossible to get any work done on my company machine. It’s been a while, and a major release, since my last run with Qubes but I should be up and running again soon.
@Gina Dinosaurs was hilarious back in the day!
Released v0.2.1 of my connection checkin’ #Rust project today to fix some error handling issues, and reduce some duplicate code into a generic function making use of a common trait.
Next release I’ll add support for JSON payloads in the http(s) checker.
@Gina dumpster fire kind of week here. Hope you are having a better one than I am!
@kyle yeah, that’s what I expected. An unholy patchwork of apt magic hasn’t graced one of my machines since the FujiP5k, but then that was also one of my favorite machines of all time.
@BartG95 where is the most common option: Does Not Exist!?
@kyle WiFi won’t work on either, but wired should. I assume I just need to touch my apt sources lists with the taint of non-free to get them to work as I would in Debian? For the NUC it doesn’t matter as that’ll always be wired. I could go Qubes again on the T460s since Wayland has already broken everything I gained when I stopped using Qubes to begin with 😂
Announcing the Librem Mini V2
"The Librem Mini v2 in just about all respects matches the Mini v1 including the same base price. The big difference is that we can now offer a new, 10th gen i7-10510U Intel processor. "
@codesections @alcinnz colocation services are still very much available. The second hand server market is pretty vibrant too.
@Gina looks lekker AF
@kyle nice!
@kyle ain’t seen one of those in a long time
@purism just placed my Librem 5 order! Looking forward to real convergence. Not needing to carry a laptop on my cycle commute is going to be great.
@Gina similar issues for me regardless of browser or platform.
The General Purpose Computer In Your Pocket

"One of the neatest tricks Big Tech ever pulled was convincing people that phones weren’t general-purpose computers and should have different rules than laptops or desktops. These rules conveniently give the vendor more control so that you don’t own a smartphone so much as you rent it."
I like to work with my hands. That may mean hammering out solutions to complex problems in #Python or #Rust, building things in my shop, or spinning yarn to knit something warm. You’ll likely see some of all of that here. By day (and sometimes night) I keep >13k nodes and services alive in the Electric Vehicle sector.
