This looks exciting. I hope the transition goes well.

I would say to get automated backups running on the first few before you do them all. Thats a luxury we get “for free” with cloud services.

Note on firefly iii. I use it because I’ve been using it, but after using it for 4ish years, I dont really recommend it. The way I use it anyway, I think inserting data could be easier (I do it manually on purpose) and the graphs/visualizations I also wish were better. My experience with search functionality is also sub par. I would look at other alternatives as well, but I think its still better than not tracking finances at all. But I wonder if using a database client to insert data and python scripts or grafana to analyze the data would be better for me…YMMV

Good luck!

I replaced my tabbyml code assistant this week with ollama+continue.dev. But I’m having issues with speed. I think this is because I switched from code qwen 2.5B (ish) to Deepeek Coder 9B (ish) and I think I’m pushing the limits of my GPU. Maybe I’ll spend today sorting out which models I want to use and which computers I want to use them on so I dont run into this issue (I’ve got ollama on 2 computers with 3 GPUs shared between them, for a total of 24GB VRAM)

Floccus just syncs, so whatever hasnt been synced would just wait in your bookmarks until the server was available.

Id never heard of trap. This is awesome! Thank you for sharing

When you do finally get into an installation (dual boot or live usb) just remember that this a whole new OS. And things that you thought about how “computers” worked was actually how “windows” worked. I just want to make sure you set expectations, because you could easily frustrate yourself when you start expecting things to behave a certain way.

Hopefully, you learn a lot from this experience. I’m excited for you!

I use borgbackup to create backups. I point backups to another home computer and borgbase.com. Borg itself is an amazing tool. I think you should learn how it works even if it doesnt end up being the best fit for you.

Start ny NOT jumping into nixos. Start using home manager on whatever distro you currently use. Then slowly move whatever programs or dots you currently have over to it, uninstall the aur/apt packages as you define them in nix. At first you’ll have a clear goal: emulate your user environment. Once you’ve got your user environment defined, the jump to nixos would be easy (if you even want to) because you can use your home-manager config as the starting point. And depending on how you use your computer, home-manager may end up being most of what you care about.

Welcome to the NixOS club! Veloren fan here too!

I’ve got a subset of my files encrypted and backed up using borg. It gets backed up to another computer in my home and then cloud storage via borgbase.com.

And how do you like yew? Long ago I used seed.rs, which was more like ELM than react. But I think that project has since gone unmaintained. I also tried yew when I think they were in the middle of a huge API transition. Do you think its easier to write in yew than it would be in react/vue/svelte?

Cursed tech stack and image. Project looks cool. Can you elaborate more on why you used rust for front end and python for backend? I would assume rust would have been more applicable for back end work. Then again, Im not familiar with fastAPI.

Glancing through zettlr’s website and docs, Im not sure I understand it. Is it just notetaking software, that utilizes pandoc to build professional documents (via pdflatex)? Whats an example use case?

Wow, all in 600 lines of python. Looks great!

Flakes are just a mechanism of pinning dependencies to fixed versions. When you run a flake it doesnt matter if you’re on 24.05, 24.11, or unstable, it’ll produce the exact same output.

Thats a great solution…Im not interested in learning a new slicer right now!

I lean on nixos modules first, but half the time it either doesnt exist or its too complicated at first glance. So I will manually create an oci-container configuration by referencing a docker compose on the projects site. For simple compose files this is easy. Sometimes its not easy, and I dont end up deploying it.

I’ve been wanting to find or build a method that lets me drop a compose alongside ny config and have nix load the yaml and build the oci-container configuration for me. That would be nice since Im familiar with compose syntax and it’s usually easier to write imo.

I used Zola for a while, but at the end of the day there wasnt enough themes available that fit what I was looking for. I ended up messing with the templating engine to get what I needed.

I suggest OP choose Hugo over Zola, in the hopes that they find a theme that suits them best and for the most part prevents them from having to touch templating to begin with.

Where’s the tailscale fork? Thats my current battery sink

Paperlessngx will store pdfs and index their contents for searching. It’s not necessarily meant for books but I think it would work.

What cad software did you use?
