And the Luddites were right

Fitting a 100W battery in the 13 inch chassis while keeping everything easily serviceable would be impossible

My plan to handle this is to switch my VMs to NixOS, set up NixOS with impermanence using a btrfs or zfs volume that gets backed up and wiped at every startup with another that holds persistent data that also gets backed up, and just reboot once per day.

I’m currently learning how to do impermanence in all the different ways, so this is a long goal, but Nix config + backups should handle everything.

To make life easier for yourself, I’d highly recommend running Linux on a separate drive. The Linux distribution installers I’ve used will install the bootloader on whatever drive you choose to install on, but the windows installer will use the storage controller’s port ordering to choose which drive to install on.

Your best bet is to simply disconnect the Windows drive when installing Linux and to disconnect the Linux drive when installing Windows, then just use the BIOS boot selection screen to choose which OS to boot into.

You can add your Windows drive to Grub and you might be able to add your Linux distro to your Windows bootloader, but keeping them entirely separate is probably best.

I preordered the new screen for my 2nd-gen. This is all great news!

I use porkbun for my domains, cloudflare for dns, ddclient connecting to the cloudflare api for dynamic dns, and traefik as a reverse proxy to send subdomains to their respective service.

The only part I have to pay for is the porkbun dns.

$8 for a year is a good deal, but be ready to switch when that expires.

Yeah, I tried it with hyprland and COSMIC. I’m currently using KDE, but if I get enough energy to configure hyprland on NixOS, I’ll switch to that. COSMIC wouldn’t let me use Steam, so I had to switch back to KDE. Tiling on COSMIC was really nice, though.

I run a DualUp as well. I love it

Majora’s Mask Decompiled on my Linux PC

Just played a few hours. fantastic!

Also, notifications. I’m a fairly forgetful person, so I set up notifications to let me know if I left windows open or devices on before I go to bed or leave for work.

Well, hopefully my invidious instance holds up for a while

That is an entirely unreasonable suggestion from a security perspective.

This is my plan as well. I’ll miss some of the discovery aspect of youtube, but it’ll be nice to have a way to continue watching the channels I enjoy

Do you have separate 2.4GHz and 5GHz SSIDs? If not, you should try that. 80mbps to 5mbps through 4 sheets of drywall is a pretty steep drop for 2.4GHz, and 80mbps is a pretty low throughput for 5GHz AC1300, which your APs support. Are both APs wired? Try disconnecting one and doing speed/signal strength testing in all rooms, then do the same with the other AP in its location. If there is a huge difference, try switching the AP locations. Also, it may be worth checking whether the APs are negotiating a gigabit wired connection to your switch/router.

Which 2 APs? Have you mapped signal strength across rooms? How many clients? How many other wireless networks sharing a channel with you? 2.4GHz or 5GHz? What are your walls made of?
