Can you add a split tunnel for just the Chromecast app (I presume that's how it works idk I don't use Chromecast) so that just that specific app always ignores your VPN?

You can use one GPU and hot swap it to pass through when booting your windows VM

Tell this to my fiancee, who scrolls reels for an hour before falling asleep in minutes every night.

Meanwhile, if I have 0.001mg too much caffeine I'm not sleeping til Friday

Syncthing to the rescue! It can automatically sync saves between devices, and I use it for a couple games to sync between my steam deck and my desktop

 

Anyone know of a good Android client for music on jellyfin? I'm currently using finamp but would like a client that works with Android Auto and can sort/filter playlists

They mentioned they're running GrapheneOS, so most likely a Pixel of some kind. GrapheneOS has the strictest requirements I've seen of alternative phone OSes, but for good reason.

password-store is a CLI app to store passwords and even supports OTP.

Please do not use the same manager for your passwords and OTPs. That defeats the purpose of multi-factor.

Otherwise +1 for the other services. I'm hoping to set up my matrix server soon

Laptop for Linux (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Hey all.

I've booted Linux Mint Debian Edition and Arch on to a couple old machines including my old laptops. The performance is still rather brutal because these machines are so old and their battery lives are rough. They are also bulky and uncomfortable to carry around.

So, I've been thinking about getting a more modern laptop and putting Linux on it but I've been out of the laptop market for so long now I have no idea what's good and what's not anymore. Any recommendations?

I think I've heard decent things about Chromebooks but how's the hardware of those? Are they relatively locked down and don't play nice with Linux? I'm just looking for a machine for daily use (browser, light coding, remote connecting to my desktop for heavier stuff)

Thanks in advance

EDIT: Thank you to everyone for responding, I did not expect so much discussion! I've certainly changed my mind on Chromebooks and will look into the options recommended below in the coming months. Thanks!

I always accidentally fold my white t shirts away with my white pillowcases bc they're the same size, shape, and color when they're folded. I never notice until I'm getting ready for work and can't find any of my undershirts 😭
