Maybe its just me, but I find I get way more useless seo blog spam results using DuckDuckGo.

For MSFS 2024 I use the Windows version of opentrack, just installed inside the proton prefix using protontricks (use the exe.xml trick to launch it at startup).

What kind of tools are you looking for? If you are looking for hand tools, Gray makes great stuff and is made in Canada.

You can also just enable one of the “Cookie notices” lists in your ublock settings, no need for another extension.

The NixOS user in this scenario would be asking who is sponsoring the date.

I like to include memtest in my boot menu:

boot.loader.systemd-boot.memtest86.enable = true;

You can also use it with grub:

boot.loader.grub.memtest86.enable = true;

Goldberg Variations. In particular, the 1981 recording played by Glenn Gould.

Same thing here, especially those trucks with the ridiculous mud tires which I’m guessing must get horrible mileage at highway speed.

I’m currently saving ~$4000 per year that was previously spent on gas. Living in an are with cheap electricity helps a lot, but I would guess that it is worth it for most people, provided they can charge at home.

Such a great release. I love the tonal transition after The Word Becomes Flesh when the album gets a bit less dark. The way it starts with heavy religious samples at the start of the album and transitions to a somewhat different tone through that track is just incredible work.

In my riding the NDP got 3.5% of the vote. I would absolutely prefer an NDP government but they were never going to win in my riding.

It sucks that we had no realistic (as in actually able to win) alternative. Not exactly thrilled with him, but he is clearly better than the other possible leader we could have been stuck with.

I once had a dream that I went with my family to visit an old family friend (not seen in years) for dinner, but they lived in a different (i.e fictional) house that I had never been to before. Normally this wouldn’t seem strange but when I woke up and told another adult family member, they looked completely shocked. It turns out they had also dreamt of this exact same scenario that night set in the same fictional house. We could describe the setting and events in detail and both had exactly the same experience but from different perspectives in the dream.

I have no doubt there is some psychological explanation for this phenomenon but regardless it was quite an interesting experience.

wired > 2.4 ghz > Bluetooth

There are limitations that make Bluetooth annoying to deal with (unable to interact with BIOS using a Bluetooth keyboard for instance)

The first time you do a presentation and forget how to add an external display, that was what made me stick with a full DE.

How to backup their home directory, even if it is a basic method like mounting an external drive and drag and dropping files.

I run MSFS 2024 using proton on Linux, and have had reasonable success running other native windows addons (BeyondATC, opentrack for head tracking with webcam) in the same proton prefix by installing using protontricks then launching them all using the “exe.xml” trick for MSFS (see: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/start-multiple-programs-on-msfs-startup-with-this-exe-xml-tip/350698). I just do manual keybinds for my hardware inside the sim and it all works well, as a bonus performance seems a bit higher than on Windows.

Navidrome is great if you are looking for a self-hosted web streaming alternative.

I don’t have any friends.

Ironically the easiest way to play Fallout 3 these days is on Linux via Proton where it works perfectly.
