On my way out for a trail run right now. :)

Right?! I've just assumed the GNU/Linux nitpick to be a meme at this point. An old and tired one at that...

Yes! I've recently bought a house that has a forest on one side and the city on the other. It's great! I take daily walks on the trails in the woods.

You expect a different outcome every morning?

This sucks, I know. I just responded to a friend's message from two months ago, and I've felt bad about not responding since then. But life happens, and for me at least it had nothing to do about that friends behaviour.

I've done this with debian in the past, you just install different DE in parallel. Works well enough, don't remember it causing any issues. It just makes a mess of your home folder, so I don't do it outside of testing purposes.

Thanks, I hate it!

I think it's due to single sign on (SSO) or other means of authentication (OAUTH), which is convenient when used.

But I agree, annoying if you use username and password.

Jag jobbar hemma och sitter väl ca 10 h om dan, och upplevde samma problem som du.

Men för två år sedan köpte jag efter rekommendation en pilatesboll att sitta på.

Det tog nån månad att vänja kroppen vid en annorlunda belastning, men jag är väldigt nöjd. Smärta i ben och rygg är borta, och nu blir jag snarare trött vilket jag löser genom att ta en kort paus.

Värt att prova tycker jag, och betydligt billigare.

It’s very homemade, but I believe it’s built like a DC net for a boat. It’s a bluetooth connected lithium battery, boat cabling and fuse boxes and Victron charger and voltage transformers.

I built it with “subnets” for different voltages. The battery is 24 V which feeds servers and a 34” monitor, then a transformer to 12 V for network gear, and several 5 V (USB) for a rack of raspberry pis. The is also a small 230 V transformer, for some gear that have built in PSU.

The largest server is fitted with a custom DC PSU I found on e-bay, others are normal external PSU where I cut the cables.

I actually built my own 2 kWh battery setup after finding available commercial UPS overpriced.

It took some work and cost me about 2000 euro, but now I run everything (including networking, servers and monitor) directly on a battery feed DC net in my house.

It's pretty cool too have all IT equipment unaffected by a power outage.

That ship is much larger than I expected for "just" laying cables. But then again, I have no idea how they do it...
