Briar, for communication during internet blackouts or when there is no connectivity at all.

Also check out the cover from “lillasyster”. A Swedish hard rock band that reminds a bit of disturbed. Their umbrella cover is really solid - give it a listen!

As an ex social worker in Sweden (both as a case officer and treatment assistant), I can attest to the low pay, garbage benefits (if any) and extremely stressful work.

Will keep an eye on this, looks interesting!

Can vouch for kopia, excellent backup tool.

Got any guides on how to strip plasma down to the bare necessities? I have it on a machine with 4 GB RAM, but I don’t know how to optimize it for such old hardware.

To be more concrete: security keys can communicate over USB or NFC. Just make sure it supports the protocol you want to use it for.

But there is also passkeys which is both software- and hardware based and is almost equally secure.

In Sweden most government provided services are accessible through a web browser, but you need “BankID” which requires Android. Which is kind of Linux, though not fully FOSS.

Have you tried a low-code database, such as nocodb? I tried satisfy my need for structures data that way and it works for simple usecases. There are formulas too, but they (like spreadsheets) require some knowledge to set up.

I use omnivore for longer articles and highlighting parts of the text. It also have a plugin to sync with obsidian. It’s really good, but I imagine self-hosting it can be tricky.

For a link-dump, I use Shiori. Could be anything vaguely interesting but I want to take a look later - works wonders for that.

And I have been a former pocket user, wallabag… But I stick with omnivore and Shiori.

I subscribed to wallabag, but there are so many rough edges I gave up on it after six months. Terrible experience 😕

Both Stockholm and Gothenburg are really nice cities - they’re pretty safe too unless you seek out drug lords or park your bike without a decent lock. Just don’t come here during the winter - you’ll be depressed by the lack of daylight.

I really don’t want to own multiple machines and certainly don’t want to lwn a clunky desktop. I was quite happy with Stadia, but need to look at external GPUs through oculink as that would provide me with the best of two worlds.

Currently, my gaming is very light with rather si lle graphics.

You’re asking excellent and very relevant questions.

OP, take heed.

Do not get the L-models. They’re cheap, have crappy build quality and I daresay that thinkpad skimps on the non-obvious parts that will hinder performance - even though the machine looks powerful on paper.

Put your money into a better product instead.

Track record.

This is a norm to be avoided. A phone without updates (at least security updates) should be avoided at all costs considering the potential consequences.

Don’t thank me, thank Stallman. I stole it straight from straight him ;-)

That’s good to hear. I assume the normal- and IR-cameras aren’t working? The latter is nice to have, the former is a bit of must-have in today’s remote work environment.

How’s unihertz track record with providing updates? This is an important factor to avoid artificial obsolescence.

Surface wasn’t meant to run linux. Its a struggle to get it working on them.
