Oh yeah, nothing to do with intelligence for sure. I just meant that, for me, since I’ve always used mouse plus a good amount of keyboard shortcuts, was too much to learn. That and the config files (hyprland, hyprpaper, this and that). I’d rather have less options, but be it more “easy” on the learning curve. On my work pc I use a tiling assistant for Gnome (it runs on catchyOS) and I just have a few combinations to tile midscreen or to the corners, and that is enough most of the time. "It is just that the brain forgets stuff it doesn’t see as relevant " that is so true and infuriating now that I’m trying to learn some academic work… pretty irrelevant for me lol

Something that I really like about Catchy is that it’s been a really smooth experience so far. I wouldn’t even know what to customize other than the DE, to be honest… so I’ll keep running Catchy then :) As for the Arch benefits; I’ve always used Ubuntu and it is true that problably someone asked xyz so you’ll find the answer on some forum but the archwiki is so good that it helps not only to fix sutff, but also to learn stuff lol. That’s been for me the benefit. (That and also the pac-man-like animation when updatind the system lol). Thanks for the answer!

Oh I’m so saving this in case I want to try it out! Thanks for the detailed answer! I’ll problably install Arch on an old laptop that’s been laying around for too long and see how it goes :)

This is actually a great post. I’ve struggled with this and it feels like all those tiling window managers are for power users. They’re a pain to customize and 0 intuitive (at lest for me). I share your question!

How hard would be for me to switch coming from catchyOS? And would it be worth it lol

In /docker I have just the yml and .env files. All the data is on an external volume, docker runs as a local process and Dockman is a container (not sure if this is what you asked, sorry).

I tried dockge yesterday and I think it does not change permissions, haven’t had time to really check. I just want to select and x number or containers and click update lol until now I had to get into every folder and docker compose pull.

I just found out something else: restic can’t access the folders because root:root. this is so annoying! I’ll try podman again… I didn’t see how to make it find my containers lol

I’ve been thinking about buying a meshtastic device for a while now but I’ll tinker with reticulum first, because the concept is amazing and would solve an actual problem for me. Thanks for sharing!

Sorry man. Feels like 2024, no more no less. Friendship and willingness to be around people (in person) is an old fart thing. Nowadays I only invite or make plans with my really close friends. Friends that are more family than friends.

Those casual friends we used to have are gone for good between laziness and socializing on-line, whatever that is.

If you were my neighbor and invited me I would’ve totally attended and decimated those delicious quesitos!

Yeah, I’d say it’s not worth watching lol

I read it ~20 years ago so I do not remember much. I’m watching the series though and sometimes it’s so bad that makes us laugh. One of the things that makes me lose interest a lot lately is the amount of scenes void of any sense because they simply don’t explain anything. They just make up watch time, which is good for Amazon I guess.

It is pretty common in modern movies and series so depending on your age you might not care.

I’d say skip the series and enjoy the book.

It is incredibly expensive. I only buy the ones I need for academic reasons… And you can imagine the artwork on those 😂

There’s plenty of second hand libraries here that make deals like buy 3 for 5€. That plus public libraries is what keeps me reading to be honest!

Ping just to see if you found something relevant/interesting! :)

Wow! That’s one thing I miss when reading on e-books. It’s extremely convenient, but I miss those treats and the whole experience of holding a beautiful volume!

You’re welcome! I hope you find something you like :)

Fair point lol I don’t find the “discover” feature attractive, so I’ve been using the Openreads app just to keep track of what I’ve read year to year (a great app, by the way!)

Edited to add that maybe different instances of bookwyrm have different ways to review your books? I may be wrong about this, but I think it is worth checking if you really want to try an open alternative.

https://bookwyrm.social/ is what I’ve been using. I’m not an avid tracker though.

I tried thestorygraph, liked the idea but I don’t like my readings to be guided by an algorithm and also I don’t feel like paying for a platform, especially if I’m not using the main feature (the recommendations)

You could read Let’s Talk About Love: A Journey to the End of Taste by Carl Wilson. It’s an essay(ish) book about taste in music, funny to read and not too long (~200pg I’d say).

About the comfort zone, you could try and read something about contemporary problems and predicaments. A poison like no other talks about plastics in our everyday life (not fun), or something really old like Seneca’s On the Shortness of Life: Life Is Long if You Know How to Use It (~100pg)

Probably, because only two of them decimated a whole plant here. They’re hungry little buddies, so much so that I actually captured them and keep feeding them with veggies leftovers lol
