Lenovo ThinkPads work very nicely with Linux, and there’s a large second-hand market. The T and X series are especially great I find.

The usual advice about avoiding soldered RAM holds in general, but right now used laptops are being bought just for stripping RAM. So I think putting up with soldered RAM in second hand devices (I’d go for at least 32G) can be a smart move because it may be a better deal (and often a smaller form factor).

Have you tried

Outline?

I recently set it up and I’m very impressed.

This is not difficult to achieve at all with tools like sed or awk. But unless you provide a concrete example input file or files, all we can do is point to those tools.

The problem is that /-o will also match something like --my-irrelevant-option.

Word boundaries match the end (or the beginning) of the word.

How exactly to do it depends on the regex library, my less is built with PCRE2 therefore I can do /-o\b.

Seems like the router doesn’t like how the headers are passed on. You could try:

login.router.lan {
    reverse_proxy 192.168.1.1:80 {
        header_up Host {upstream_hostport}
    }
}

Object.property = theft;

If you’re not averse to CLI and some tinkering, i think khal may suit your needs.

I think Gnome + Flatpak is a great setup for GUI only. Fedora is annoying to set up with nonfree drivers and codecs, otherwise it’s a great choice for this.

(Also, don’t try convert your friends, just wait until they come to you and ask for help installing Linux.)

Image refuses to load over my VPN. Well played, consider me thoroughly annoyed.

If I saw that folder name while using a friend’s machine I would know not to click on it to respect their privacy.

I didn’t read but the formatting is 🔥

Oh I’m sure it runs perfectly fine in a container, it’s just not my preferred setup.

Last time I checked, radicale and baikal were the sensible options. I went with radicale, no regrets, but not in a container.

To fix this, add if(num == 255) return true; before line 10.

It’s actually vanilla milk, picture is accurate

1. I’d try it
2. Why on earth would they capitalize snake case like that

Same for me. I distro-hopped for about 20 years with OpenSuse, Ubuntu, Debian, Arch and Fedora being the most memorable desktop setups for me. While all that was a valuable experience, NixOS feels like graduation.

For the Nix-curious: I wish someone would have told me not to bother with the classic config and build a flake-based system immediately. They’re “experimental” in name only, very stable and super useful in practice.

There’s probably many different ways to achieve this but I would probably use a shell (zsh or fish) that does this by default

Big fan of both fzf and tmux!
