Don't use Appimages (a writeup about all the reasons they are a pain for users)
  • I’m not a fan of alternative packaging solutions. Never been. If it’s not in Debian’s repositories then I don’t bother with it. Some would say that’s close minded as not all packaging solutions are bad but when you use a stable distribution like Debian the native packaging solution is a lot easier to maneuver and troubleshoot than flatpaks and the like.

  • Is using a swap partition (on linux) bad for an SSD's lifetime?
  • People think that Windows doesn’t do swap because on Windows it’s done automatically for you. Does it wear down the SSD? Yes, but so does every other write operation. Ideally, getting like 32gigs of ram so you’ll never have to use your swap is ideal(or at least use less), but not everyone can do that.

  • Apple security updates could be banned by British government
  • I guess it was only a matter of time till gov agencies got tired of pretending and looking for exploits or buying them from security researchers. Now they’re just going to make security updates illegal to back door your machine, hooray.

  • Looking for new router for home network.
  • MikroTik hAP ax3 seems to fit the requirements and is what I’m currently running. They add their enterprise features into the “consumer” packages, allowing you to set up VLANs, meshes, etc

  • Unhinged rule
  • I agree with the landlord in this case, we shouldn’t tip our baristas either, instead they should fix the federal law that allows restaurants to pay their workers pennies and kill this ridiculous tipping thing entirely.

  • I last tried in 2019 but LTT made a video recently saying they won’t accept sponsorships from Plex anymore until they fix downloads. I have a Plex Lifetime Pass and I’d love to use it again if the download worked, because that’s the only thing I want to use it for now (in between moving apartments)

  • Wrist rest recommendation for a 65% keyboared?

    I bought a keychron k6 recently and while the keyboard is amazing, I am feeling pain on my wrist. What's a 65% wrist rest I can buy? I used to have an ASUS ROG Scope TKL one for my previous keyboard but it the "leather" started falling off and I had to get rid of it. I don't really mind the material as long as it's not wood.
