Any Bill Paxton reference is a good reference.

I appreciate you.

If you are going someplace sensitive, leave your actual phone at home. If you need a phone during that time, pickup a prepaid burner. It sounds extreme, but there are extreme people out there with extreme views about what you should and shouldn’t be doing. Protect yourself.

This is the correct answer.

Mine is a snap install that started 3 years ago on virtual box and was ported over to proxmox. It has never broken, updates automatically, and generally seems to work just fine.

It doesn’t load instantly, but it doesn’t drag by any means.

I second the R5 case. I have one for my NAS and it’s been a dream to work in.

I’ve been using Trilium Notes for the better part of two years and love it. I have used Obsidian and similar markdown apps, and I find it frustrating to add images due to the need to store them in a separate folder and reference them instead of just pasting them into the page and being done with it. To me, that’s a barrier for notes when I’m trying to brainstorm. I really do like markdown, but it doesn’t work with my though process.

I have a sync server setup at home (with no outside access) and do my main writing inside my network. For notes on the go I use the Notes app on my iphone (its quick and easy) and then drop the notes into Trilium when I get home.

I swapped from Windows 11 to Pop_OS and it’s been pretty awesome. For all the games I play it’s been buttery smooth.

I have all my spare drives pooled together into a frankenNAS system in a spare Fractal R5 case. Whatever media fits gets a backup on there (in order of personal importance). Otherwise I will reacquire all my ISO’s should disaster strike.

Only 40 hours per week? Can’t let him off with an unrealistic work week. 50+ hours or bust.
