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.
I use a Ryzen 5900x, RTX 3080, 2x 10Gbit sfp+ NIC, 128GB ECC RAM, and only 2x 20TB drives at the moment.
For my gateway, I have an Intel N6005 box, I have a managed 2.5/10Gbit switch, and I have a wifi AP.
I have a ton of Proxmox VMs and containers.
All that hovers between 140W to 180W
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 domain.
$8 for a year is a good deal, but be ready to switch when that expires.
I just opened up Google Earth in Firefox to see what would happen. It’s buttery smooth with basically zero lag on loading assets, and zero lag zooming and dragging around on my 240Hz display.
I have a 1gbps symmetric fiber connection and I’m running NixOS. my Firefox Nix Home Manager config is here:
I just switched from Nobara to NixOS on my gaming PC. I’ve had NixOS on my laptop for almost a year and decided I’m comfortable enough with it to use it full time, and it works great for gaming.
Before NixOS, I was a die-hard Arch user. The only reasons it would break were because I was trying a bunch of stuff from AUR to play around with Wayland + Nvidia when that was brand new, or when I would forget to update for a while.
It breaking was primarily due to me tinkering around and not fully undoing those changes. Now I can do that with no fear on NixOS, and it’s fabulous.
A basic, local text-to-speech app using home assistant’s piper would be great. Feed it a document and have it read the document to you, highlighting along the way.
I currently use nextcloud + todo.txt
I don’t have my todos in my calendar (I think that may be what you’re asking for?), but both are solid systems.
I sync my todo.txt files via nextcloud. I use sleek on my desktop and ntodotxt on my phone.
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.
Like the other commenter said, that is correct. For SSH, I set up a VM as my SSH bastion or jump host. I connect to that, and the SSH from that to any other machine on the network.
you need a reverse proxy.
I searched both Cory Doctorow’s post and the linked 404media article in his post for “air purifier” and found nothing. What author are you referencing?
I use Kagi, stract, and a self-hosted searx-ng instance. Kagi is so well polished that it’s what I use most of the time, but I keep an eye on the other two and continually ask myself if I’m ready to drop Kagi to get away from financially supporting Google and Microsoft.

Alright, you’ve convinced me. They get ONE more day.
FreshRSS is the tool for that
