I have been a OG #Debian but then the #Omarchy bandwagon pulled up and I was no longer beating my keyboard early 2000's style arch. Now I have Asahi Alarm installed on my Macbook air M2 and its insanly fast asahi-alarm.org

#popos #cosmicOS speed is great as my daily driver! Finding Mac app replacements tough, especially Cleanshot for screenshots/annotation. Cosmic tool is okay, but what do you use on #linux?

The iconic Pebble watch is set to return thanks to Google, who today open-sourced the original PebbleOS having acquired when buying Fitbit in 2019 (which had bought Pebble's IP in 2016).

The irony that 'Open'AI is so closed that a Chinese open model can come in and deflate the OpenAI bubble in less than a week...

Never thought I’d catch *KVM FOMO* 😅 All you #homelab peeps flexing your sleek #JetKVM setups—meanwhile, my lab’s an Oscar the Grouch-grade stash of recycled / mini PCs. Can this mismatched but loved pile of cables run a JetKVM with so many physical nodes?

2025 #Homelab update: Ditched bare metal + Docker, circled back to my roots with #proxmox + LXCs. Obsessed. Now eyeing my old gaming rig—thinking of turning it into a proxmox beast: daytime - AI node on Proxmox, nighttime - cozy #bazzite gaming node. Anyone pulled off virtualizing Bazzite lately? 👾🖥️

Has anyone successfully fit their old Mini-ITX PC into a case like this? I’m looking to consolidate my Proxmox mini-PC cluster and Moonlight gaming rig into one setup. Any tips or builds you’ve tried?

I have enjoyed using #proxmox and then building VMs or LCX Containers to try out server setups and being able to shift in new directions the more I learn quickly. I have a proxmox cluster with three nodes that run a combination of containers and some docker.
