I found that sometimes it’s best to not add extra tasks that linger beyond the allotted timeframe. E.g. deliberately having a mode where you are completely done with your tasks is important to me. I don’t know if all of your todos were essential for that week. But i‘d try not filling my schedule to the brim if possible. With the deliberate goal of having time left. Otherwise you will always have residual open tasks and this is something that makes me feel down, independent of the things that I actually achieved that week.

    Hi everyone, I am using Ubuntu since version 14.04 due to ROS and am therefore mostly familiar with its components, such as Apt, systemd, networking etc. nowadays ROS is mostly handled in docker so I have less reason to stick to Ubuntu. Cachyos sounds fun and I am a big proponent of performance being taken seriously in the sense of UX. Also default BTRFS seems nice. How much pain is it to switch? I tend to tinker a bit and appreciate the large community around Ubuntu. I know arch has a good wiki. This is for my personal main pc and usecases are Steam and Lutris gaming, office work and ROS / c++ coding

    I think this just comes down to human nature. Give people (engineers, execs) a metric that looks like a good proxy for performance and they will overcommit on that metric as it is a safer bet than thinking outside the box. I think the incremental improvements in deep learning with all those benchmarks are a similar situation.

    That’s why we need rules and regulation around gatekeeper platforms like iOS and android. If both demand 30% there is no choice not to pay in certain circumstances.

    I understand your sentiment as I am annoyed by similar issues. But the wireless in ear headphones also changed a lot how we use them. I guess it’s similar for glasses. People will appreciate the auto focus but will inevitably complain if batteries run out or glasses malfunction.

    Hey everyone,

    I have a free protonmail account for years now and will be losing access to my (main) university mail soon. My proton mail is filling up and I will need a reliable personal mail address going forward.

    What is the current status with privacy oriented mail providers in the EU? I am willing to pay for my mail service but ideally not too much, protonmail is 4€/mo which is a bit much I think.

    What is the general opinion now after some months on the protonmail ceo? Will the Swiss privacy laws cause issues soon? What about tuta and mailbox.org? I think I want to switch to my own domain soon so supporting custom domains is definitely something I look for. Also the ability to use imap and not have a separate app would be good.

    Last time I checked half a year ago I found mailbox to be the best compromise but I decided it’s not worth the hassle yet to deal with my mail provider.

     

    I have a n100 server running proxmox and asustor drivestor2 pro nas.

    I would like to setup a low maintenance git platform (with lfs) with backups for all of my code.

    My current plan is to host forgejo and Postgres as lxc using the helperscripts installs and then store proxmox backups using the inbuilt backup tool via nfs on the nas. I am new to forgejo but heard that it uses much fewer resources than gitlab, which I am hosting in my job and have therefore more experience with.

    Instead of lxc I could also host it in a vm and docker.

    The n100 mainboard (asrock n100 dc itx) is a bit unstable, so backups that are easy to recover are important to me.

    I want my setup to draw little power, that’s why I think gitlab and proxmox backup server are overkill.

    I would also like to extend the setup with immich at some point, so anything that facilitates this would be best.

    Any comments or suggestions?
