There’s no set plan or prescription, and no guide. You just pick the smallest set of resources you may have lying around, install what you need on it, then don’t think about it until you need to. That’s it.

Don’t go out and buy a bunch of hardware in anticipation of some big thing you MIGHT want to do. Just use the hardware and tools you actually need to use, then move on until you actually do need hardware for a specific something.

Total bullshit

I believe you’re talking about the challenges discussed here: https://blogs.kde.org/2024/09/04/brightness-controls-for-all-your-displays/

If both monitors are messing with your sensors, you may just want to disable adaptive brightness and manually control it. They don’t seem to have a workaround for it as of yet.

You are wrong

What’s the future of you? Linux probably has better chances 🤣

You won’t find any benchmarks for distributed filesystems, because they don’t apply to any one setup. Nobody knows your network situation, disk speed, availability across clusters…etc.

…it’s in /tmp…

Those are block storage services, not Storage backends. Your options for SCi Provisioned are these: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/storage-classes/#provisioner

I would say if you’re not truly familiar with K8s, or DEEPLY familiar with Ops, don’t fuck with K8s internals. You’re gonna have a bad time.

🙄

Anyway…

The main power draws on a laptop are the display, the GPU, and CPU in that order. If you can’t tame the first two, the third won’t matter if we’re discussing hardware platforms in the past 5 years.

If you can tune one distro to be as power efficient as you like, any of them can do it. There is no functional difference between any of them that is not configurable.

The most power efficient and balanced platform you’re going to get is an AMD APU for general work, or something REALLY weak but efficient like the lowest of low-end Intel like the n-series chips.

Anything with Nvidia in it is going to drain your battery quickly, even if not being utilized (that’s a hardware design thing I won’t go into).

Seems pretty easy to detect and beat though.

Don’t worry about the opinions of random Internet people. Just be comfortable with yourself. We all gotta work with what we got, and you’re in a much better position than most 👍

They have compilers and tool chains for Linux/Win as well if you’re just strictly talking about being able to develop on Swift: https://www.swift.org/install/linux/

You can easily create custom rules and bouncers if needed for something specific as well. They’re templatized for the most part. Possibly even something a stupid AI could kick out, but make sure you know what it’s doing, and don’t trust it outright.

You only need Crowdsec to monitor the exposed service ports. If Authentik is exposed, and has a Crowdsec plugin, then add it. Otherwise, you’re just wasting resources having it watch things it can’t take action with.

If you just need something to consolidate logs where you can watch them, use a centralized logging tool for that job.

This is revisionist nonsense fueled by anger. Dubya did all the NSA stuff WITH bipartisan support in Congress that led to the Snowden leaks. Susan Rice was the one that went apeshit on Snowden, and of course a rational sitting President needs to show solidarity in that with their national security heads. Obama actually assigned a panel to investigate solutions to the stuff that the NSA was doing, but yes, he did say he was a traitor.

Trump has been itching to be the second person in history to nuke a population. He doesn’t realize what it means because he’s a complete fucking idiot.

It’s been kinda wonky for awhile. I’ve had to reinstall a few times to make it kick over and run.

Have a look here and see if anything works, but I’d totally wipe the proton directory then reinstall first: https://www.protondb.com/app/252950

Doesn’t matter who accidentally added a journalist. The problem is using Signal to discuss national security plans in the first place.

You hacked out a bare running Nix config for a phone…cool. I wouldn’t call it an implementation of anything because all you did was hammer out configs, but good for you. Now you have a phone where half the hardware doesn’t work, but Nix runs, so super awesome for you. Must be a great user experience.

Even in your comments on your link, you’re proving my point. Without a solid BASE, and a DRIVER LAYER, you won’t have a successful project to push a UI of anything, because packaging themall together doesn’t make sense. All the major phone vendors know this, and have moved in that direction for awhile.

Why you came in here with your links to something that is literally saying the same thing as I am as if you are proving a point to somebody, I have no idea.
