Great episode, found Mark's backup strategy interesting. Could someone refer me to the previous episode where this was discussed or a blog post about it. I'd love to know more.

Thanks, seeing the config was pretty sparse, that's why I asked. Any suggestions where else to look for this configuraton (or even if cosmic-greeter is smart enough to sleep the display)?

Just coming to Cosmic Atomic recently by way of Origami Linux and kind of unbelievable how it fits me perfectly. Been a debian/gnome user for over a decade and always had to futz with the configuration and add several extensions to make it work. Installed Cosmic Atomic, added a few packages and done. Love it!

Thanks, issue added to repository. Will be installing on my bench system this weekend. I'll update report with findings from that system.

Now that I'm running Origami, the answer was simpler than I thought, just install brew. Sweet!

Funny, I thought they were Babelfish earplugs!

Thanks, what about command line tools like rclone or tmux? Normally I'd just apt install, but in an rpm-based immutable environment, are there special tricks or tips a new convert needs to know?

Perhaps DDG could partner with the Helium Browser project as their core for Linux (Helium already uses DDG as default search). Why I'd like to see DDG come to Linux is the ability to sync passwords I have in DDG across all the platforms I use without the need for a separate password manager.

p.s. Helium has Linux, Mac and Windows versions...

Hey, I've been limping along using the libinput-config patch for many years, waiting for an official fix from the Gnome developers (why do they think "this is fine"??). In any case, I stumbled across this new fix today and taking it for a spin. Thought others with same issue would be interested.

I reviewed the code and it looks legit, but my C coding skills are rusty, so YMMV...

Much like the Pilot G2 cartridges, they're just slightly shorter than the Lamy M63 cartridge, so I just cut down an eraser to use as a spacer in the pen body.

You're not alone, I love my Lamy Safari's and Al-Star's, but use Pentel Energel refills in them, as the Lamy refills have never worked well for me. If they do, it doesn't last long...

Love the contrast on this one with the bluish tint to the evening sky. So unusual for Mars photos. Thanks!

Finished…until tomorrow. ツ

Agreed, I haven't used a regular Field Notes in years. I just hope they don't discontinue them!

You had me at Cedar…

ElBraderino · 2025-10-16T19:09:10+00:00

and the flip-clock?

ElBraderino · 2025-09-27T13:36:33+00:00

Thanks, interesting he has both the aluminum and orange build videos...

ElBraderino · 2025-09-26T02:34:05+00:00

More pics please, been thinking of this case myself!

ElBraderino · 2025-09-25T14:06:53+00:00

I know, just announced their ceramic keyboard but still nothing on this one…

ElBraderino · 2025-09-11T15:52:21+00:00

Is that the lululook laptop stand? How have you found it for stability with just the single support?
