3·3 years agoI should have been more specific. Yes it’s the Secure Pocket Rocket
Loving the continuous transparency from Framework. Bought one for myself, when my father needed a new laptop got him onto the framework bandwagon. Now my wife has informed me to start budgeting - she wants one next year. Their behaviour to date is why I’m willing to get behind them & their products.
Dual booting Mint & Windows. Working a treat
How performant does it need to be? What’s the nature of the read/write behaviour? If it fits the profile of “fast USB drive” then you could potentially get away with 2 of these (https://frame.work/au/en/products/storage-expansion-card?v=FRACCFBZ02) configured in software raid and boot your OS off the internal nvme. That said, I feel you’d get more mileage with a second hand (and cheap!) micro PC for your paperless instance and save the framework as a laptop

2·3 years agoAhh autocorrect 🤦
Notesnook
Go for the pain tier (even though it’s FOSS) 100% worth it.
1·3 years agoWas a genuine challenge. I ended up purchasing a copy for my whole family so everyone can use it.
Threema
Where Signal is secure - Threema is private and secure (e2e encrypted, uses PFS but doesn’t need your phone number for sign ups. You can be 100% anonymous should you wish)
Started on lemmy.ml, when they were experiencing some performance issues I decided to “be distributed” away from one of the main instances. Decided on one geographically in my home country.
3·3 years agoAfter leaving Evernote way back when I was in the wilderness for a while. Finally landed on notesnook, haven’t gone back since.
I went way overboard speccing mine so thenAussie tax was a big hit. Including the RAM & SSDs I sourced separately, over $5K 😭 I find the FW13 is reasonable comparable to similar 13in laptops, but the FW16 is pricier than comparable 16in laptops. Windows ones that is. As I’ve specced it its a total bargain compared to a 16in Macbook. That said, I was willing to eat the price difference for the modularity, the potential for future upgrades & to back Framework’s mission.
Also yes, I’m also desperately waiting for the release of an oculink module.
