I'm starting to think part of the problem was her needed some kind of mental help if this is how she's getting days off. This is not a healthy mind.

Yeah, I think that's what she's complaining about

My HL2030 is incredibly easy to use from Linux

Because it's a disproportionate amount of effort to natively support an extra OS (particularly one as fragmented as Linux), especially one with such a small userbase that largely isn't interested in using proprietary cloud services in the first place because of data privacy and security concerns.

Obviously not all Linux users are super worried about that stuff (I mean, I use Linux and have a google pixel), but on average the Linux userbase is way way more aware of that stuff than most users who just want their photos backed up without having to worry about it.

 

Hey y’all,

I’m looking for a desktop personal finance software. I really liked firefly-iii, but I’m not running a server right now, and it’s a bit of a PITA to set up as a desktop app.

The biggest thing I’m looking for is the ability to automatically refresh transaction from my various accounts (using Plaid, FinTS, Wise, and Paypal), rather than needing every transaction and transfer to be entered manually.

Which personal finance software tools have the best integrations for that and/or are extensible to allow me to write my own scripts to fetch transactions from eg. Wise?

The old thinkpads that came with those self-repair manuals maybe were. But the new ones are more or less the same as most other modern laptops. I guess they don't have soldered SSDs, which is good, but the framework is definitely better for repairability.

The motherboard itself is also open-source: https://github.com/system76/virgo/

The x220 is quite easily the best laptop ever made imo, and I'll never understand why they just don't slap modern hardware into it and re-release it.

Those are shockingly big numbers for a CONCACAF tournament

I use manjaro, but it isn't what I would call stable.

Who proposed doing that?

If you'd told me 5-10 years ago that multiple million US households would be tuning in to CONCACAT tournaments I'd have said you were crazy.

Here's hoping this works out. It'll be a big test after his injury issues at Chelsea. But if he can stay healthy I think he's proven that his ceiling is very high.

 

I've heard of immutable OS's like Fedora Silverblue. As far as I understand it, this means that "system files" are read-only, and that this is more secure.

What I struggle to understand is, what does that mean in practical terms? How does installing packages or configuring software work, if system files can't be changed?

Another thing I don't really understand is what the benefits as an end user? What kinds of things can I do (or can be done by malware or someone else) to my Arch system that couldn't be done on an immutable system? I get that there's a security benefit just in that malware can't change system files -- but that is achieved by proper permission management on traditional systems too.

And I understand the benefit of something declarative like NixOS or Guix, which are also immutable. But a lot of OS's seem to be immutable but not purely declarative. I'm struggling to understand why that's useful.

 

Seems like they want more money for him
