People with framework laptops on linux (nixos?) what is your experience with them?
  • The under panel aluminum gets really hot, which in turn dissipates into my leg muscles while it is on my lap. I guess that makes the heat dissipation good (enough?) since the CPU doesn't get worse than 170°F. It is honestly just pretty awful.

  • People with framework laptops on linux (nixos?) what is your experience with them?
  • I definitely don't know. I have had no opportunity to physically use a Framework laptop. I am only speaking about what I know from the images on their website.

    Or do you mean the MacBook Air? These later model Airs don't have fans, and that means the aluminum gets really, really hot. The CPU temperature readouts get up to 170°F. It's bonkers.

  • People with framework laptops on linux (nixos?) what is your experience with them?
  • I really want one because I am tired of my lemon of a 2022 M2 MacBook Air and even more tired of paying money to a corporation that does basically everything in its power to remind me that I don't own my own hardware. I had to have the goddamn logic board replaced on this thing, and Apple refused to let me retain the original part, even though the SSD chips were perfectly fine. I unknowingly botched my time machine backup and forewent the $100 bench backup, and now some five weeks worth of my data is gone forever because they wouldn't let me keep the original part because "muh policy".

    The only thing stopping me from purchasing a Framework laptop is that the fan intake vents are on the bottom of the device, which makes using the laptop on my lap not very doable.

    Also, I am pretty over aluminum as a material for devices that I have to touch with my skin for long periods of time. I would prefer carbon fiber.

  • [help] systemd-resolved how to keep DNS server order?
  • Via ChatGPT 4 (accuracy unverified):

    Yes, you can configure systemd-resolved to use the DNS servers in the order provided without dynamically switching based on speed. Here’s how you can do it:

    1. Edit the resolved configuration file:

      Open the resolved.conf file in a text editor:

      sudo nano /etc/systemd/resolved.conf
      
    2. Modify or add the following line:

      DNS=`IP_of_pihole` `IP_of_mikrotik`
      DNSStubListener=no
      FallbackDNS=
      

      Replace IP_of_pihole and IP_of_mikrotik with your actual DNS IP addresses. This tells systemd-resolved to only use the DNS servers in the order you've specified.

    3. Prevent automatic DNS changes by network manager:

      If you're using NetworkManager, create a drop-in configuration to prevent it from overriding DNS settings:

      sudo mkdir -p /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/
      sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/dns.conf
      

      Add the following content:

      [main]
      dns=none
      
    4. Restart services:

      After making these changes, restart systemd-resolved and NetworkManager:

      sudo systemctl restart systemd-resolved
      sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager
      

    This should ensure that your system uses the DNS servers in the order provided without any automatic switching.

  • Best music tags editor?
  • Oh, that's interesting. I wonder if the maintainer would be willing to accept a PR to fix.

    That sounds like something I would enjoy doing for software that I personally enjoy using free of charge, and I love writing Python code.

  • Best music tags editor?
  • I use beets for that.

    https://beets.readthedocs.io/en/stable/guides/main.html

    It's a bit of a learning curve, though.

    But I have developed a nice little README to remind myself how to do the basics.

    It's better than using a crappy GUI, or paying for something I will only ever use rarely.

  • What email provider do you use? Would you recommend it?
  • Mailfence and Protonmail.

    Mailfence has shorter inactive account policies which result in account deletion, and its login sessions are terminated very quickly.

    I have also experienced multiple mail receipt failures because of instable mail servers in their pool, but that was back in December, and never recurred.

    I only use Mailfence for throwaway emails.

  • Sycophancy just a fancy word for brown-nosing, is it not?

    Do not either of these require a dynamic of power imbalance between the butt sniffer and the person to whom the butt being smelled belongs?

    A bunch of my comrades were agreeing with me on lefty X, but a troll called all my friends sycophants. Rude! My comrades are my dialectic equals -- I wield no power over anyone beyond being correct, which sets them free in the truth.
