@switchingsocial@mastodon.at @funkwhale Bookmarked to check out over the weekend.

Was one second from tossing my laptop (coffee hadn't kicked in yet). ๐Ÿ˜‚ Headphones work just fine on everything else. And on the laptop yesterday just fine.. But no sound as user or root.. Well there was but extremely low. Whatever reason I had to run alsactl init and the sound is back.

So far no issues stripping some crap out of Debian.. Removed all those localities from Task and Firefox. Not going to be needing localities for Khmer, Norway, Greek, Thai, etc and so on. Might as well save myself some space.

Switched to Slim for the login manager. GDM3 was annoying me. ๐Ÿ˜‚

@rakor haven't had issues with the firewall. As on the router other than my ssh port. All other ports are closed on the router itself. Which doesn't affect my laptop connection. Plus with the firewall, not a huge issue to me. Used to do alot when I had windows. Far less with Linux I feel.

So firewall is mostly a non issue. Don't use a VM, don't have any ports running out of hand. Plus other than ssh everything else is closed down when I'm away.

@rakor I don't forget about. I'm now being smart any repositories like Spotify, Atom Editor, etc I keep a text file for a quick copy & paste as well as a list of what apps I want to reinstall.

Surprise, surprise, Raspberry Pi 4 has been launched!

Faster CPU, dual 4k HDMI support, up to 4GB RAM, USB type C, USB3 and (finally!) no more bottlenecking the ethernet port over USB2: full gigabit speeds!

Also: same old price ๐Ÿ˜
