RAM for sure. My wife's laptop is a 2010 model, noe running NixOS. It handles zoom calls fine, and she does her spreadsheets, email, and web browsing. But its 8gig RAM.
That's some commitment to a mouse. I have a logitec Bluetooth travel mouse from 2005. Our IT guy told me that paying $60 for a mouse was crazy and he could get me one for $7-10. But here I am 20 years later and it looks like it's new still.
Depends, on how critical something is...since we deal with servers / customers at work that often are purposely not adjusted for years...because introducing a different behaviour (even if better) would grind production to a halt, I take a not careful approach.
I was using OpenSUSE Leap, and with zypper you can review which patches are available, whether they are critical or run recommended or not needed. You can then apply which specific patch you want be CVE if necessary.
But with Leap's path seaming messy at the moment, I moved to Tumbleweed, since you have snapshotying built in. If an update did mess something up you just rollback to the previous snapshot and in less than a minute it is fixed
Lacrosse is a nice watch too
Lol. I was a MEC fan before the takeover, now they just import Chinese stuff I can buy on AliExpress for much less
As somebody that has worked from home everyday since 2009, nothing beats in person collaboration. Not saying you need to be in the office everyday, but to truly collaborate and get input and open discussions an actual meet session is better.
You can see who is not onboard by body language, you can see who isn't paying attention and will miss key details, you get free conversation where a random comment provides a solution to something that wasn't on the agenda. And I say it as somebody that is 150% more productive at home.
Even in our own company employees often work siloed on collaborative projects, in person forces a discussion.
Isn't that exactly the disenfranchisement the elites want though?
They have preferential vote and single transferable, so going to the station to not participate seems odd, why would you not want your preference counted?
Volumio is a great tool for Pi or PC and has phone app to control music selection remotely. You can add music to the volumio player, or access dlna shares, as well as add on music services and internet radio
Slow day here, finally had time to clean 30 years of oil and dirt off my sockets
Many thanks to all those that maintain FOSS. i had setup a pi4 running 32 bit Debian Buster years ago (pandemic days) with OpenMediaVault 5. With the OMV docker and portainer plugin I had various dockers running, but found some dockerhub images weren't supporting 32bit. I had thought ubout updating to 64 bit install but thought I might have headaches, so just blocked the pi from accessing the internet and sidelined the update. Since it is the holidays I figured I would tackle an update.
Scope:
Step 1 add "arm_64bit=1" in the config.txt file of /boot and reboot. Took a while to boot with lots of drive activity but 64 kernel worked perfectly.
Step 2: run sudo omv-release-upgrade
That is it. Two commands and everything updated perfectly. Nothing to fix.
To me that is an amazing testament to the work put in by everyone for Linux kernel, the OS, OMV devs, and Applications maintainers. Amazing.
Hot day, Buddy wants some cool beans.
Hrd change his tune if it was reciprocal death, and their CEOs and boardmembers were the pool, that a random dice roll would make one of them the sacrifice.
