@kyle the first few times I did it was a real eye opener. The only time I keep it around is during hurricane season, or when someone’s in the hospital.

@kyle these are all the reasons I never got a smart watch and never plan to. I’ve spent the last two years trying pretty hard to reduce the amount of time I spend looking at any kind of screen. At the same time I want to maximize the potential for being able to solve challenging problems from ALL of my devices.

Here’s an interesting one to try: charge your phone in a different room while you sleep.

@Gina yeah I did not get much sleep. Basically everyone at work today has asked about the situation at home.

Friendly reminder to the #fediverse if you’re running #QubesOS and you split sys-net in two so you can have wireless and ethernet on two entirely different networks do yourself a favor and modify your update proxy settings so you can update your TemplateVMs.

#mmhmm

@yuki would setting tabstops in less with -x help?

@Gina wut even. 🤯

@rbrown let me know how it works for you, or if you’ve got any suggestions to improve it. It’s been running on one of my embedded systems for more than a week now without issue so I’m pretty happy with it myself.

My connchk #Rust project has a TODO item right now to execute the network checks asynchronously. I think I will do this at the same time I move much of the project into a library. Then I’ll re-roll binaries for CLI and a GUI version using #libhandy so it can be used on devices regardless of form factor.

Later I may extend the GUI version such that connection test criteria can be defined in the application itself.

It looks like I can eliminate at least one machine from the stables. I’ve already ordered both a Librem 5 and Librem 14 from @purism and these will be my primary computing devices. The remaining systems will be used as servers. One local to me, and the other a backup across the pond. This ought to be more than enough to deal with all of my workloads, and get a HiDPI laptop into the hands of someone else.

Part of my downsizing efforts will be in the hardware I keep around. Rather than buying or building new machines, I’m going to see what I can do with what I have and hopefully consolidate use cases to the point where I can do what I want with fewer physical machines. Anything I free up, I hope to gift to someone else who can use it.

@Gina also trying to work on downsizing. I have probably too much stuff in general, and while I try to let go of stuff I don’t use regularly there’s certain things I ought to send on its way.
