How was your experience using Linux in college? in c/[email protected]

[–] Lrobie 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I had a great time. I studied electrical engineering and my department had moved from using Matlab to Python which made my life a lot easier. There was one class where we had to use a Matlab library but I was able to use Octave with the library. There weren't any other programs we had to install there weren't compatible with Linux. A lot of classes just required a web browser, no additional software, so no issues there.

I'm a fan of qtile. Used it when it was x11 only and use it on Wayland now.

Looking for a QMK equivalent to Razer Tartarus in c/[email protected]

There's an option for a tented middle layer but it's definitely a little jank. https://docs.keeb.io/tenting-bolts-setup

I'm a fan of the keebio Iris keyboard. They have a prebuilt version and you can disconnect the right side.

I'm looking for recommendations for a cheap, and basic OpenWRT router in c/[email protected]

[–] Lrobie 2 points 10 months ago

I use a Belkin RT3200 (same hardware as Linksys E8450). They go for pretty cheap on ebay and I have no complaints.

Tv box recommendations? in c/selfhosted

[–] Lrobie 2 points 11 months ago

I do the same. I have Debian with KDE and Kodi autostart on boot. Use Kodi most of the time but can tab out if needed.

Are "fair phones" really fair? - YouTube in c/[email protected]

[–] Lrobie 14 points 1 year ago

It's a subscription service. It's designed to pay creators better than YouTube.

Qtile 0.23.0 Released in c/[email protected]

[–] Lrobie 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Turns out I’m dumb and didn’t realize that Arch hadn’t updated the package yet. As long as you have the env variable WLR_NO_HARDWARE_CURSORS=1, it works pretty well.

Not great. Still having a lot of issues with flickering. Guess this is what I get for buying Nvidia.

Time to see if Nvidia works with Qtile Wayland. Got a lot of flickering and visual bugs with pywlroots 0.15.

Any good tax filing tools? in c/[email protected]

[–] Lrobie 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've used Free Tax USA in the past, but I wouldn't say they're trustworthy. They're still part of the free file alliance and actively lobby against the IRS creating their own free tool without any restrictions.

My starter homelab (lemmy.world)

Recently started my little homelab. The hardware consists of:

Comcast modem in bridge mode (I use this because it means unlimited data is $10 instead of $30)

TP-Link TL-SG116E - cheap 16 port managed switch I bought off ebay

Dell Wyse 5070 extended with an Intel T350 4-port NIC running on opnsense

Belkin RT3200 running openwrt running as an access point

Have already messed around with setting up opnsense (Adguard Home, Zerotier), and going to keep playing with it. I've thought about installing proxmox on the mini PC, connecting an external USB hard drive, and running it as a server and router, but that seems a little jank. Planning on getting some more parts to throw together a small server. You can't really see it in the picture but the cables are still a little messy.
