  • I am running my entire homelab from podman quadlets (systemd managed podman containers) and it’s honestly very dope. Podman gets a bad rap for being second tier to docker but they legit have a bunch of awesome features for Linux users specifically that make it way nicer. Using systemd for docker status can add some misdirection occasionally, but having the logs from containers directly in journalctl alongside the rest of my system logs is amazing


  • I have used both, and while glove80 is ultimately more comfortable due to the key well, I typically never use the “FN” row keys on g80, so losing the extra keys wasn’t a big deal. The size, layout, and built in trackpads on go60 are all amazing. When I was using glove80, I was using a miryoku-style layout that has only six layers, so likewise having six thumb keys per hand feels kinda overkill like the extra upper FN row felt for me on the fingers. Ultimately I feel like a glove60 (less keys, but also with the built in trackpads from go60) would be my “perfect” keyboard since I’m not regularly traveling or commuting with my keyboard. But until something like that ever happens, the trade offs for go60 are all worth it and I ended up getting rid of my glove80 after I was sure I wouldn’t regret the switch.



  • This is what I do, living likewise in a well insulated northern house that sees sustained high temps.

    I’d gladly take my well insulated home during any heat wave over a poorly insulated one. Anyone who thinks less insulation is the solution is misunderstanding the problem.

    It’s fine to be frustrated by high temps. It sucks. But insulation is a friend in your fight against high temps, not a foe. Use insulation to resist heat rise during the day and use heavy ventilation at night to exhaust and exchange for cooler air. The alternative is to have low insulation and accept indoor temps being constantly pinned to outdoor ambient which is a recipe for discomfort.

    Something that I’ve learned over the years is that a lot of times what separates cheaper or more expensive brands or higher prestige brands from lower prestige brands is quality control.

    In the world of guitars, for example, you can get some amazing deals if you’re willing to deal with buying a guitar that might need a lot of work to be set up properly after you bring it home. Or maybe you’ll be lucky and the one you get will be totally fine and require zero setup.

    Nowadays for most products I just assume if I’m spending half the money I’m probably not getting half the value. Instead the lower price means I’m accepting the risk of a 70% chance of proper QC’d unit rather than 95% for the more expensive one.

    The problem is it’s basically impossible to know the real rates for these things unless you’re a dealer who sees a high volume and can analyze return rates and stuff so it’s kind of a crapshoot. If I’m buying something I feel confident I can fix or upgrade myself (guitar) I’ll happily save a bunch of money and deal with the risk. A lot of people have that level of experience with 3d printers, and it sounds like you do.

    A lot of other people in this thread are clearly expecting an out of the box experience that is perfect. Which is totally fine, not everyone who prints needs to be an expert. But buying a creality machine as someone who isn’t prepared to do some of their own work fixing issues out of the box is probably a bad idea





  • Just recently switched to Niri myself - I think the fact that Niri inherits a lot from Smithay for compositior stuff really helps. It’s the same compositor base that cosmic DE uses. Sure hyprland has HDR at present and Niri doesn’t, but I think it helps a lot to not build a compositor and a TWM at the same time. vaxry is honestly just doing way too much and it’s unsustainable and new version blow ups like this were inevitable given how big the install base has become and how huge hyprland feature set has gotten

    Idk about that, Gabe did a bunch of interviews around the time of windows 8 saying that signed app requirements and the windows store fiat that MS was trying to implement was an “existential threat” to valve and that they needed to migrate to a neutral OS as much as possible.

    I’d argue that what we’re seeing now from valve is the fruits of a 10+ year campaign to undermine windows. And MS has been digging their own trench undermining windows at the same time, making their job even easier lol

    But idk if it’s fair to call what valve is doing as “don’t worry about the competition” - I just think they (accurately) view MS as their competition instead of epic or EA or whoever is trying to do pc game stores
