for plebs like me, what is this halving you are talking about? ยฏโ \โ _โ (โ ใƒ„โ )โ _โ /โ ยฏ

Actually isn't Bitcoin easier to track than cash? Or as easy as digital bank transfers? ๐Ÿค”

I currently mostly use micro or LibreOffice, but want to migrate eventually to something like HedgeDoc/Etherpad or something similar.

I have used Abiword, Onlyoffice, WPS Office sparingly. Oh and OpenOffice.org Writer before the fork of LibreOffice โœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜Ž

If we could also start using an altered form of the (International Fixed Calendar)[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Fixed_Calendar] to adhere to the (ISO 8601 spec)[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601] (which means starting on a Monday instead of the IFC's Sunday, than would be just radical โœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Sure there would be a few hurdles to overcome, as mentioned in the Wikipedia article but that shouldn't be impossible.

Also, stopping with the Daylight Savings Time nonsense!

Hmm, that didn't come out at expected, but I'll keep it as it is ๐Ÿค”

Well actually, I think it is proportional so I do believe your shoulder width gets larger if you are taller ๐Ÿค”

Well actually, if you like deb managed distro (but not the Snap drama surrounding #Ubuntu) you could take a look at #Debian itself. Their latest release is very much improved over the previous ones, because non-free software can be enabled with the click of the mouse in their default ISO image!

Btw if you liked the #LinuxMint aesthetic, but not the Ubuntu base then you could also try out their LMDE 6 (Linux Mint Debian Edition). They have Timeshift installed by default and if you change the default from Ext4 to Btrfs you have a great way to play with your system (the snapshotting I eluded to in my previous comment).

Otherwise I'd say just experiment with different distributions. In VMs or separate drives. You do you! โœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜Ž

I've had a very good experience with NixOS, but some little things are quite difficult to manage for a more traditionally experienced Linux user. But if you can make it work for you I'm guessing it can be a perfect distro, because it has a sanity check before you switch to the new generation. In other words you *can't* break it (I did run into a snaffu once with a VM that I didn't allocate enough desk space and didn't run the garbage collector often enough).

But if you want a rollback feature there are other ways you can achieve that. Btrfs and ZFS have atomic snapshot capability built, meaning you can make a snapshot, try some stuff and fallback to the snapshot that worked. But NixOS has that all built in โœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜Ž

What are you running currently btw?

So 3 days ago I installed #IceWM on my laptop running #NixOS #Linux.

And the battery percentage is still 60% when I opened the lid just now. Pretty amazing!

But I think I will switch over to #AlpineLinux and run the same setup, because a lot of things in NixOS work slightly different. And the reproducibility is limited to just NixOS, while Ansible is that for basically *all* distributions.

So I think I will try to learn #Ansible now...on Alpine Linux as a desktop distro.

Wish me luck ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿ˜Ž

Yeah, we have fiber but another company thought it was necessary to lay their own fiber (because why use someone else's fiber? (They used to be the company that others had to use in order to get VDSL over landline in your home)).

But the contractor that is laying it in the ground has (probably) snapped our cable and now we are without a fixed connection. Luckily our provider can provide use with codes for unlimited mobile data, so with a backup phone and a new SIM we can get by until it is fixed.

Because why would you send someone to try and fixed it within 5 working days? ๐Ÿค”

I've said to my wife "You know what would be awesome? That I can wear the suit I've worn when we got married, and if you could adjust your wedding dress to the size you've wantedยน when we are 7ยฝ years married!"

She was a bit "meh" about it, because we've had some rough news. But I'm actually a bit excited about it, but I've just realised I've got less then a year now to realise my goal ๐Ÿ

Deadline is September 20th, 2024. Luckily I've already started with a Fit marathon of 10 days and I'm already losing weight. But I still need to lose 15 kg (about 33 pounds!) to be around the weight I had when I got married ๐Ÿ’’

I call it a success if my trousers fit around my waist, but if my shoulders or legs don't fit because of muscles it still counts. I want to get fit/in shape, not necessarily starve myself to reach my goal ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ˜Ž

1) Even though the wedding was planned way in advance, we still got pregnant a few months too early. We got married with a 25 week pregnancy, so the dress needed to be extended to the maximum size ๐Ÿ˜”

So I've just removed a #Podcast because of #DynamicAds ๐Ÿ˜”

Even though it inserted an ad in my own language, the experience is just so jarring! I immediately removed the podcast ๐Ÿคฎ

If most of my podcasts will enable dynamic ads, then my backlog will be severely diminished. Only certain podcasts I deem valuable enough to consider getting the ad-free version ๐Ÿค”
