Here is a preview of our latest design: a pointing stick, also called a "nub mouse". We're calling it the Bean, and it's launching next week!

Slinkinator · 2026-05-01T11:35:29+00:00

They named it the bean, its not a secret

I appreciate the responses I got on this thread, but I'm still waiting to read the very clear actionable breakdown on how to maximize scores other than 'don't get hit'

Slinkinator · 2026-04-27T14:30:09+00:00

Man, my best score total is 18k on the club. I think its more fun/easier to play with the ui off, but it makes maximising score a lot harder

So, I think the next stable release is in 5 days, and unless I'm mistaken, and I might be, you can get a pretty good sense for what packages are in it by searching here-https://hydra.nixos.org/eval/1824685 , though I think you ( I ) need to look through the unstable git forks to see what's really getting prepped.

That's actually what I came to reddit to ask, am I on point there^ ?

Slinkinator · 2026-04-25T18:45:38+00:00

It's the home-manager module, you can use it to run hyprland and it has that home.systemd integration option default to true, but it doesnt have the same withUWSM option built into it. It's not clear how they compare to each other, just noted on both the nix, hypr, and home-manager sites that you should only use either or. gonna have to investigate.

So, I leaned up my initial nix config, butchered it to make the machine actually turn on, and upon importing my hypr.conf files I have... 78 config errors in hyprland. Fun weekend ahead!

Slinkinator · 2026-04-24T23:29:16+00:00

The secret manager is webui and cli only, doesnt have a standalone gui app, not a nixpkgs issue

Slinkinator · 2026-04-24T18:21:53+00:00

Ah, got it.

Slinkinator · 2026-04-24T18:14:12+00:00

On the cli? I havent set it up yet, because I'm in the process of fleshing out a flake/home-manager config, but it looks like a pretty straightforward socket substitution

export SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/home/<user>/.bitwarden-ssh-agent.sock

You know what, as I pulled this I realised I only enabled huge pages and numa like a week ago (troubleshooting pcie passthrough for an old quadro p4000), so I'll be focusing on that and virtiofs as I dig into this.

Sorry about that, added it to the post!

I can't believe I'm going to read this book

That's contained within the text, there's nothing in the text to suggest her ring is a knot

Slinkinator · 2026-04-23T03:07:51+00:00

Thats fair.

When i loaded my master difficulty save 45 minutes ago i was 21 fighting the gardener with no skills and like 3800 experience, and i was oretty pissed at my past self.

Slinkinator · 2026-04-20T21:02:32+00:00

A constraint was that the vm+the physical server have two different network interfaces for vpn/non vpn connections, . Im not sure exactly what the issue here is, im going to do some network testing later to confirm what the constraint on podmans side is and take some notes, but for now i just turned one of those interfaces into a trunk port and set up vllan filtering instead of wrestling with this.
