@Gina I guess that said are there a bunch of USB-A devices you need to use? If you do depends on them consider whether or not you can get USB-C cables for them and hope they work?

@Gina for me the deal breaker is a lack of an RJ45 jack. I also hate dongles and needing one to use wired ethernet drives me batty. Also USB-C is the worst connector ever.

There are a few features I want to add to my crate connchk, but I think I’ll take a tech break this weekend.

@stevenroose @Gina my T460s has been crushing it since 2016. A touch underpowered for some tasks now, but not holding me back. My Librem 14 should ship in the first batch or so, and I imagine that arrives before any EU lockdowns end so I should have some impressions by then

Nothing says humpday quite like making sure you’ve patched everything you can patch against recently announced horribad CVE both at work and at home.

@Gina Lenovo would work, as would Purism’s Librem 14. If we ever get to relax the pandemic measures I can let you test drive both.

@ademalsasa my vote was for Element, but that option should probably be Matrix rather than the client used with the protocol.

Btw we're still having a great time in the #aFediverseChat room on #Matrix: app.element.io/#/room/#afedive 🎉

There have been interesting discussions about topics like #foss, #federation, #opensource, #phones, #OS, but also non-tech topics and just general hanging out. Anyone can join. ☺️

Focusing on violin for the last year has taken a toll on my guitar playing. The two feel almost mutually exclusive in everything but tonal range. Not sure what I’ll do with this realization.

Dissatisfied with the various offerings of the Fediverse, I decided to read the (current) prominent standard to see how it works. Now I understand why the UX across the Fediverse is so painful. ActivityPub and ActivityStreams do nothing to define a concretely interoperable set of services. They just list some open ended, and wholly optional, possibilities for what could be.

@Gina I would settle for a flask too. Full, of course.

@Gina coffee cup, multibit screwdriver, and a pocket reference for some command line tool.

Welp, used netplan for the first time today. Didn’t burst into flames or anything.
