  • Sometimes I hear about other people’s storage setups and I think, “that is overkill, no one really needs that.” According to this thread, I am quite mistaken about that. 😳

    I have 2,057 songs, taking up a measly 51 GB, on a Funkwhale server. No movies or TV shows.

    That should get a little larger soon. I have about 100 vinyl records that I want to make digital rips of.

    Pretty new for me too, I just found it last week. I think this game is my favorite Wordle-like game. It’s so much harder to think of a real word that fits the given letters when it’s a six letter word, and I like that the option is there to not use a real word. Sometimes I’ll just leave the game for an hour or so while I try to think of something that could fit.







  • One hand pretty much exclusively. I almost always use my right; I might occasionally use my left if I’m needing to hold a key with my right hand, but I that doesn’t come up often. It really just fit on the desk better to put it in the middle. At first I thought it might be more ergonomic that way, but I don’t think it really makes a difference.

    (This is OP, by the way, for some reason your comment didn’t get forwarded to my Mastodon account that I originally posted from.)



  • Unfortunately, I don’t have great insight on those two, since I keep my laptop setup pretty simple.

    I don’t really mess with the init system very much, so I can’t really weigh in on that. I’ve probably only run “sudo service start <thing>” a few times, so aside from the CLI being a little different from systemd, I haven’t noticed a difference. There would probably be another learning curve if you’re looking to actually create system services, but I never end up doing that on my laptop.

    I haven’t had any issues with the packages, but that’s probably because I use the Flatpak if it’s available. So yes, the debian repo wouldn’t be current, but all of the daily things I use (browser, Thunderbird, Steam, text editor) get updates from the Flathub repo. The built-in MX package manager has a section for Flathub, so you don’t have to add anything for that.



  • Metal Gear Solid. Only had a few minutes to play it – I mainly just wanted to see how it looked, so I only got through the very first introductory room. Looks just like how I remembered it. I bought the collection with MGS 1, 2, and 3. I’ve already played a fair amount of the first game (although like…15 years ago), but never beat it. I only ever played MGS 2 on a friends Playstation 2 occasionally, and have never played the third game. So I’m really looking forward to those.
