See if there’s a way to disable power save for your audio driver module.

I had to do this for Intel for example

#/etc/modprobe.d/audio_disable_powersave.conf
 options snd_hda_intel power_save=0

• For file save/send dialogs, just drag/drop from nemo/nautilus to the file dialog instead of using the annoying navigation in the file dialog itself.
• In cinnamon, use win-l,r,u,d to snap. In succession will go from full width/height to a corner. Reverse or drag the window to go back to original size. This gives you nice tiling with the flexibility of traditional window management as well.
• for a terminal ctl-alt-t
• alt-f2 to execute a command with history

Used to. Prefer Aquamail. I’m a thunderbird user on my workstation though. The latest changes were controversial, but it’s fine once you enable the system title bar and hide the menu bar.

Patents should simply be a monopoly on an idea for enough time to gather resources to develop that idea’s prototype. I know it doesn’t work that way, but it should. They really should be there for small inventors, not giant corps who have plenty of resources, but I digress.

But software itself can implement that prototype without having to build anything. Your ideas can be created directly. We don’t patent math and we don’t patent poetry or even poetic writing structures.

Software and business method patents are utter bullshit.

Fuck software patents and business method patents. Patent the machine. Copyright the instructions to tell the machine what to do if you must.

You’ll also need umask for each user to be 002 for it to work transparently.

Mint integrates flatpak seemlessly into its graphic package management and update tools.

I use Borg to my nas, then rclone that to rsync.net. With Borg if you need the remote copy, you can interact with it directly.

You can, of course, Borg directly to rsync.net. You can also use rsync instead and let their ZFS snapshots do retention for you.

I would back up data (ie /home, /var, /etc) with Borg. If things break, just do a fresh install and restore data.

If a server, run it as a proxmox guest and snapshot the image on a schedule.

There are also things you could maybe do with ZFS.

I recommend Linux mint cinnamon.

I prefer doing useful things with my workstation vs playing with the OS itself, so mint cinnamon is my recommendation. Servers are ansible-managed alma. Professionally I’m a Linux systems architect and devops engineer.

Custom per-folder themes in Nemo with drag/drop templating like os/2 had. Extend to all apps, actually.

Each individual package is also signed.

• use pfsense for a firewall. Using nftables, firewalld, etc should only really come into play if on an untrusted network. Firewalls on servers can cause more problems than they solve and are easy to misconfigure.
• run lynis on your Linux servers to help get them compliant with CIS benchmarks
• be careful with your reverse proxies
• keep things patched
• run only necessary services
• configure needed services conservatively
• no root logins

Make sure that power saving is disabled.

Borg for local data backups to backup share on nas. Proxmox takes guest snapshots. Rclone all of that to rsync.net. bonus, Borg can use the rcloned remote, if necessary, directly.

I used to buy used CDs and rip them myself. So I have my own collection. But to discover new music and listen to things I may not wish to own, streaming is the best option.

The solution? A plex server with a music library that points to your own collection. Then get a Tidal subscription through Plex. You then add Tidal music to your own library as if you were downloading or ripping it yourself. Listen with plexamp on a phone connected via bluetooth, or just use plex client on your shield, roku, firestick, etc.

Now you can listen to things both locally and streamed seamlessly. You can do artist radio to discover new music and manage smart playlists on the plex server itself.

If you are hosting your own mail server, a procmail recipe shouldn’t be too difficult. I run mimedefang, so could do it there too, but that’s a whole lot of overkill if you don’t already have that.
