Very interesting doc! Its sad how this is the state of things, but something must be done. I hope with the news weve been receiving from Germany recently that this will change long term, and not just for the current government. Hopefully it will snowball and have a ripple effect on other EU countries.

Ive been looking for something like this for a while. Ill need to try it out

Lord cat thanks you for your offering and expects more next week

What is the process/commands you did to install the fonts?

I never even got to see the interface haha

Yea i wonder why that is. It seems to be a standard

Basically when I was registering it had some wording like “start your free trial now” but once I got into the dashboard there was a message that cleared things up. So I have a free trial of what I assume is a higher tier of their service, which upon running out will revert me back to the Always Free tier.

Hetzner or linode closed your account?

Yup, ended up going with oracle. Free is good for me, and im totally new to this so it doesnt really make a difference to me if theres a minor interface difference between 2 providers.

Thanks

I just signed up to oracles free cloud service after watching a video where it was said it was always free, but the wording on oracle’s site made it seem like its a trial. Are there two free options?

Netcup seems really interesting, thanks :)

I use vimium browser extension as I noticed a large chunk of my mouse usage was on the browser.

I love stuff like this, absolutely thank you :D

I use chezmoi for mine. I haven’t had to restore after a nuke yet (hopefully not anytime) but its really simple IMO. Its basically a git wrapper, so there you have your version control. You create a dotfiles repo in your GitHub, initialise your home as a local repo and point it there using chezmoi, and then its as simple as typing “chezmoi add myfile” to start tracking the file in the repo. Then I simply do “chezmoi cd” followoed by the standard git commands to commit and push changes to remote.

Check it out, I’m happy working with it across my desktop and laptop (working on the same config files across both pcs).

Would also recommend the T480. Got mine for around €280 total (including shipping from ebay).

If youre looking definitely try them out

I think what hes trying to say (correct me if im wrong OP), is that not everyone needs that high end machine, so its not comparing apples to oranges as you seem to suggest. Its like comparing a Lamborghini to a regular albeit good sedan for the purpose of taking your kids to school, doing groceries, etc. If we ignore the obvious impracticalities of the Lambo for these jobs, sure its really cool, but if you can achieve the same task with the sedan (again ignoring that the Lambo might not allow you to conveniently achieve them and assuming practicality is equal so that the car analogy can fit in with the laptop question), why specifically go looking to get the Lambo?

Edit: meant to reply to [email protected]

I got to page 3 before I couldn’t take it anymore and had close 🤣

Nice

I decided to go with chezmoi because of its simplicity and multi-machine design from the get-go. It seems the best option for me atm

It seems to fix after some time, and I use Brave so even though I can disable Brave shields, I’d rather not

This looks very clean, well done! Personally for me the yellow is too harsh, but I still think it looks great :D
