Sway with autotiling and a few nifty scripts (launch or focus and such) and Waybar. The combination of having scratchpads, sensible autotiling along with titlebars and the wonderful world of wayland is supreme.

Well, release your god damn books DRM -free with localized prices on some service along the likes of Bandcamp.
It's pure, it's easy and God damn fair for both parties.
Yes, libraries are great.
 Bought this one for my oldest son of two and a half years of age. He loves it and I love it - not because of its craptastic bridge or wonderful blue, but for its joyous ease to pick up and noddle for a bit. It has sparked quite the musical revolution for me. Sort of floated away from my electric bass playing (after 9-10 years) around 2015~, since then I've not played much of anything. This Ukulele have me saving up for a really nice tenor of some kind - probably a Rebel Double Creme or something similar (vegan friendly higher end)
Hey, I have forgotten but does anyone know the aproximate amount of packages you get after a fresh install with no DE (network install)? Pre-Xorg/Wayland compositor

Why not launch something like amazon.gov and just make that the central distribution channel for all things, food, meds, tools and whatever else the global society needs?
Just wanted to share my recent experience with Firefox on mobile. Previously attempts at using it was *meeeh..*. Not sure what versions those times. Quite a lackluster experience, dull, blunt not worth while - so I stuck with Bromite (Chromium deal). Now it has this fancy *on-boarding* page with options laid out neatly. Option and defauling to bottom bar which I've not seen in a mobile browser before, loving it. UI is on point, privacy-wise it's Firefox - Idk what else to say other than I think its worth while a revisit if the previous workflow put you off.
My wonder-combo pen and gel refill. Edit: sideways pic...
Honest question, I don't know a whole lot about the FSF. Heard the announcement from RMS and a snippet on the dangers of webapps and such. But do they introduce solutions to these issues regarding proprietary software or mostly point fingers and tell us what's *dangerous* to use? **What's your favorite FSF contributions?**
/*------*/ ```21/3``` EDIT: Thank you all for your replies. I love the Lemmy community! Here's an idea of the backup flow that I think would fit neatly with our computer usage. There are stretches of time (week-long) where I don't even wake the computer up. 1. ```syncthing``` syncs stuff from our laptops onto the ```server```. 2. ```deja-borg-restic-dup-or-whichever-encrypted-iterative-backup-solution-wins-my-heart``` then proceeds to take *"snapshots"* of the data which ```syncthing``` delivered to the server. One weekly and one monthly snapshot for each laptop. 3. The ```server``` proceeds to send the snapshots to an off-site server somewhere, a Back Blaze type deal where I might keep a couple of weeks and months worth in backups. Something like that? Both me and the wife live comfortably on 512GB SSD each so there is not a ton of data to be dealt with. Thing looking to be backed up are basically the XDG user directories á Desktop, Documents, Photos, Music et cetera.. My worries with the ARM SBCs are the specific disto images built for them. How long does support/maintenance last for one of these images? I know it depends on the distro. My worries are that as new iterations of a board is dropped onto the market the images for the older board get more and more neglected. Maybe that does not matter and the images basically just "drivers" which once implemented are good for years and years to come? Dream would be something along the lines of an Odroid HC4 (OLED) with a Void Linux (it's my jam) image running on an SSD along with a beefy 6TB HDD. Low cost, low electricity, redundant enough if off-site backups are implemented. Have the OLED display current updates available and status for ```syncthing``` and ```deja-borg-dup-kup-restic-blaze```. /*------*/ ```20/3``` TL;DR: **What I want from this post is to hear and be inspired by how you go about backups and or other services and general home server thoughts**. Hardware, software, family constellation, maintenance routines and other aspects related to your setup. /*------*/ ```20/3``` I just realized I have not had any local backups of files and photos since 2015-16~ when I left the fruit-computer sphere and their Time Machine. Instead I've relied on Dropbox and more recently Mega for two-way file sync to act as a backup. Difference between those days and now is that I have my own family with needs for proper backups and it has to be done via a local server solution/NAS. Furthermore, it makes little sense sending files to unknown servers using services like Dropbox and Mega. Big time option-paralizys going on here. ARM or X86 - Proxmox, non-rolling vs rolling - SBC kit, tower, rack or prebuilt NAS for home use. TDP and wattage. Quicksync. Stay on Linux or hop on over to freeBSD for proper ZFS or fully embrace BTRFS and stay with what I know best. I heard XFS is a thing too.. Going slightly insane weighing all the options against each other and options in different combinations against each other. Trying to avoid resource and money waste by informing myself enough to make purchases with good longevity. Many thanks for any input on these matters! :)
Happy to see a federated bread community :) Two things, Firstly, my avatar - it was a delicious fifty-fifty whole wheat sourdough boule with an ear so large I dubbed it "the scalp". Recipe from [The Perfect Loaf](https://www.theperfectloaf.com/), my goto for recipes :) Secondly, I'd like to ask what your favorite recipes are? Currently I'm looking for something new that is compatible with full-time-job-two-kids. Less folding and more shape, rest and bake. Whoop!
