OG Crysis!

It’s a pretty great Deck game, and I’d never seen it run as consistently as it does on Deck at 40fps limit.

LXQt runs on it

Yep, and then there’s probably a good number of people who have no idea of threat modelling who just copy those actions to say they have “good privacy”.

Tbh, I’m closer to the latter.

The problem with non-PLP drives is that Rook-Ceph will insist that its writes get done in a way that is safe wrt power loss.

For regular consumer drives, that means it has to wait for the cache to be flushed, which takes aaaages (milliseconds!!) and that can cause all kinds of issues. PLP drives have a cache that is safe in the event of power loss, and thus Rook-Ceph is happy to write to cache and consider the operation done.

Again, 1Gb network is not a big deal, not using PLP drives could cause issues.

If you don’t need volsync and don’t need ReadWriteMany, just use Longhorn with its builtin backup system and call it a day.

I tried Longhorn, and ended up concluding that it would not work reliably with Volsync. Volsync (for automatic volume restore on cluster rebuild) is a must for me.

I plan on installing Rook-Ceph. I’m also on 1Gb/s network, so it won’t be fast, but many fellow K8s home opsers are confident it will work.

Rook-ceph does need SSDs with Power Loss Protection (PLP), or it will get extremelly slow (latency). Bandwidth is not as much of an issue. Find some used Samsung PM or SM models, they aren’t expensive.

Longhorn isn’t fussy about consumer SSDs and has its own built-in backup system. It’s not good at ReadWriteMany volumes, but it sounds like you won’t need ReadWriteMany. I suggest you don’t bother with Rook-Ceph yet, as it’s very complex.

Also, join the Home Operations community if you have a Discord account, it’s full of k8s homelabbers.

I don’t have experience with any of the models you’re considering. I used a Corsair for years (don’t!) and am currently quite happy with an old Filco Majestouch 2 TKL that I added some white and pink keycaps to.

The Filco was bought used, is built like a tank and only cost about €80.

The one thing I miss in it is QMK/VIA support.

As I understand it, a keyboard with QMK or another firmware with VIA support essentially allows you to program your keyboard however you want. And then bring that programming (“layout”) with you to another board.

My Filco has 4 dip switches on the back that allow very limited programming: for example, switching Esc and `, or switching Caps Lock and Ctrl.

But I can’t make it such that Caps Lock works as Caps Lock when long-pressed alone, but as Ctrl when struck in a chord with another key. QMK/VIA would make this possible.

Even if you don’t want to do this now, having the option to play with combination keys and smart layouts like that is very interesting when you want to downsize from TKL to a smaller board.

Also, consider the used market.

I should try Gaterons sometime. I’ve only ever used Cherry MX Brown. Happily using those atm with my second mech keyb, a Filco TKL. First was a Corsair full-size, also Cherry Brown.

And I’ve tried linear in a shop once, but I hate those. Feels empty to me, like there’s no switch and only makes me push into the frame harder.

For my next keyboard, I’d like something programmable (Caps Lock as Ctrl, hjkl with Fn as arrows, etc) and smaller, no need for F-keys and separate arrow keys.

There will be tougher usecases to migrate. Which, depends on how you use Google.

For example, I’ve never read Google News but am having trouble replacing Keep for synced, widgeted notes (groceries etc) on phone, as well as GSheets for synced, collaborative excel-like sheets with good mobile UX.

Also, I would bundle mail and calendar in one (it’s a single button to import both in Proton and those services are tightly coupled) and check your duplicate browser/chrome mentions

Tofu press + wok + sesame oil = ❤️

Pyright is the open source language server behind pylance and it works just fine in my neovim setup (in case you hadn’t recognized the commands and the logo). There’s also basedpyright if you have beef with pyright.

Protip: let someone else manage your neovim setup: just use lazyvim.org

Plugins on a universal open source IDE are a better system than specialised proprietary IDEs (that also share “core” code but it’s not open source).

Fight me.

Fair warning though: I know these

Obviously random is better, but uniqueness of passwords is IMO even more important. They are effectively spreading around their master password

There’s literally only 4 characters difference between all their passwords, even if those would be completely random, that’s very bad.

They don’t seem to understand that it’s not about how many samples you need to see to be sure what their Amazon password is. The problem is that if one of their passwords ever leaks, some bot can brute-force try thousands of variations on it and find any other password very quickly (they effectively only have to guess 4 characters, plus a bit to find that it’s the first 4 to change).

How can anyone think this is more secure than having completely different and long passwords for every site?

They probably don’t understand that your pw manager’s password is safer because you don’t enter it anywhere, only into your password manager (ideally with 2FA). This person is effectively spreading their master password around by putting it as the core of ALL their passwords, significantly increasing the risk that it leaks.

Heard of Headscale?

OK, no RouterOS then

ASUS is Taiwanese. TP-Link is Chinese

That’s a shame. It would’ve been nice to have a good European manufacturer for network devices

Removed by mod

Yep, first-class Linux support, representative samples provided to reviewers, balanced hardware at reasonable prices. Not every for-profit GPU company does this.

I’ll add DCS World modders, thank you to the heroes who brave Lua and the DCS API to bring us obscure planes and helicopters!
