From their GH:

Hollo is a simple, single-user microblogging tool powered by Fedify. It lets you run your own little corner of the internet: think of it as your personal Mastodon instance, but stripped down to the essentials.

I love the idea of Pixelfed and briefly checked it out a couple years ago, bounced off it b/c hash tags weren’t federated, and other issues that I don’t remember the specifics of. For example, when I click on #cats in a photo caption, I want it to show me photos across all instances w/ that hash tag, like the “All” feed in Lemmy.

I don’t wanna poo poo on something that is essentially a free service for plebs like myself, but I remember things being just broken/ incomplete enough and it seemed like its original creator had already moved on to other projects that I filed it under “things w/ potential that aren’t quite there yet (and may never get there).”

How do you connect your disks to your host machine? Are they in an external cage w/ SATA-to-USB adaptors or mounted internally to SATA ports?

Wexit? Windexit?

Being able to boot into previous snapshots from the boot menu sounds ideal, and I’ve seen a lot of mentions of CachyOS lately, so maybe I’ll check it out next time I do a fresh install. Thanks for the tip!

In your case, how do you roll back? Do you just reboot and select the previous image from the grub menu or do you do something manually and then reboot?

Regarding the specific btrfs subvolume setup and grub/systemd-boot integration, are you talking about how some distros show the btrfs snapshots on the boot menu? Or something else?

When you want to go back, do you just reboot and select the previous snapshot on the boot menu, or do you restore the snapshot manually and then reboot?

Thanks for the tip on storing the kernels on the btrfs partition. I found a video tutorial for installing Arch w/ btrfs snapshots in which the guy demonstrates this approach, except that he sets the mount point to just /efi instead of /boot/efi.

After some more digging, I believe “Computerized Battery Analyzer” is how they are called, based on this battery testing video by Lumencraft (at about 48 seconds in, he shows his testing setup). Thanks for chiming in!

I’d heard of Framework, Tuxedo, and system76, but not the others. Thanks for the pointers!

I just meant like if Joplin ever stopped working or vanished overnight. I know it might seem like a contrived scenario, but I’ve always been a little skittish about apps that don’t store files in plain text in case I want/need to use a different editor. Sounds like that hasn’t been an issue for you, though, which is cool.

I see Logseq recommended a lot, but does it still try to force you to use bullet lists only?

Do you ever regret that Joplin does not store notes in plain text? (meaning you couldn’t edit your notes in a plain text editor if you wanted to)

I’m running Linux Mint Cinnamon (X11) on a laptop w/ Tiger VNC Server, and I’m connecting to it from another laptop running Fedora Silverblue w/ Gnome (Wayland).

Does ssh mean command line only or is there such a thing as graphical remote desktop sharing over ssh?

I’m looking for a graphical remote desktop experience.

EDIT: I may have answered my own question. With some searching, I stumbled upon this guide for remote desktop sharing by establishing a VNC session through an SSH tunnel. In the guide, the author uses TigerVNC. I’ll have to explore this some more when I have time later on.

Thanks for the tip. I’ve installed TigerVNC server on the host machine and connected to it from another laptop. Now my problem is that when I connect, it takes me to a clean session instead of showing me the existing session. A quick internet search and I stumbled upon x0vncserver, but no instructions how to install it. Or is it already installed? When I issue x0vncserver on the host, I get x0vncserver: command not found. Any tips on what I should try or search next?

I’m not following. I understand how Gas Buddy works (crowd sourced data entry), but how does that preclude free and open source software? For example, look at OpenStreetMap, open license database w/ a whole ecosystem of free and open source apps built around it.

raspberry pi and an HDD with family (remote)

Is this the way to go for off-site backups w/ family? In terms of low power draw, uptime, etc.

That’s a handy tool, thanks for posting it. Do you happen to know how the lists are sorted? It’s not alphabetical.
