I feel obligated to mention Logseq here. It's similar to obsidian, but FLOSS (AGPL-v3).

Framework says it's selling more Linux laptops than Windows as new Laptop 13 Pro sells out first 7 batches in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Be careful what you wish for... My i7-1260p failed a few months ago.

I will say though, upgrading to an ai 340 is a serious quality of life upgrade in terms of gpu and battery life. Even the NPU is useful now with the latest drivers and kernel modules.

Personally I have never had an issue with the build quality. I think that's more of a reviewer gripe than a real world issue.

They occasionally have great sales too. I've seen prebuilds for $650 with previous gen boards. With the pro launch I wouldn't be surprised to see prices for the older models drop over the next month or two.

It's bigger in both dimensions.

I propose a little cultural exchange. I'm sure Framework and Fairphone could stand to do a little cross pollination.

Great, now how about action against the murderers caught on film.

The US government just banned consumer routers made outside the US in c/news@lemmy.world
[–] sunstoned@lemmus.org 1 points 1 month ago

That's fair. Once you understand some basics though it's not too bad. There's a UI just like any router you might already be used to. The most confusing part for someone who is new to this would probably be setting up the VM hardware plumbing, and understanding that a passthrough means that hardware is unavailable to the host.

If you want a dedicated device, sure. Image it with OPNSense and it'll basically just work.

You can also take any desktop you already have, fire up an OPNSense VM, pcie passthrough your WAN NIC + WiFi card, bridge to a separate LAN NIC, go through the setup, and there's your router.

One distro for the next five years? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] sunstoned@lemmus.org 2 points 2 months ago

Best of both worlds -- Debian + Nix home-manager. Debian gives you incredible stability and plenty of usage resources. Nix gives you anything too new for Debian and functionally confines the more experimental end of your config to user space.

AlternativeTo: a resource I wish I would have had when I started using Linux (alternativeto.net)

AlternativeTo is a site I use quite a bit. Personally I use it when I get fed up with an Android app having too many ads / creepy network behavior or want to find a self-hostable version of a freemium service.

It has filters for free, open source, platform type, etc. From my understanding it's all crowd sourced, so if you disagree with a rating put in a vote! Sharing this in hopes that others find it as useful as I do.

If you know of similar or better resources I would love to hear about them.

Edit: many people are noting that the comments and reviews are out of date. I agree! Despite that I still find it to he useful. It would be great if this little bit of visibility gets more folks engaged over there to improve it.

USB-C Multi-Device Charger Recommendations? (lemmus.org)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by sunstoned@lemmus.org to c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I've been playing around with my home office setup. I have multiple laptops to manage (thanks work) and a handful of personal devices. I would love to stop playing the "does this charging brick put out enough juice for this device" game.

I have:

  • 1x 100W Laptop
  • 1x 60W Laptop
  • 1x 30W Router
  • 1x 30W Phone
  • 2x raspberry pis

I've been looking at multi-device bricks like this UGREEN Nexode 300W but hoped someone might know of a similar product for less than $170.

Saving a list of products that are in the ballpark below, in case they help others. Unfortunately they just miss the mark for my use case.

  • Shargeek S140: $80, >100W peak delivery for one device, but drops below that as soon as a second device is plugged in.
  • 200W Omega: at $140 it's a little steep. Plus it doesn't have enough ports for me. For these reasons, I'm out.
  • Anker Prime 200W: at $80 this seems like a winner, but ~~they don't show what happens to the 100W outputs when you plug in a third (or sixth) device. Question pending with their support dept.~~ it can't hit 100W on any port with 6 devices plugged in.
  • Anker Prime 250W: thanks FutileRecipe for the recommendation! This hits all of the marks and comes in around $140 after a discount. Might be worth the coin.

If you've read this far, thanks for caring! You're why this corner of the internet is so fun. I hope you have a wonderful day.

Beeper Self Hosting (github.com)
 

Is anybody self hosting Beeper bridges?

I'm still wary of privacy concerns, as they basically just have you log into every other service through their app (which as I understand is always going on in the closed source part of Beeper's product).

The linked GitHub README also states that the benefit of hosting their bridge setup is basically "hosting Matrix hard" which I don't necessarily believe.
