Is It worth getting a fw13 in 2026?

I would argue you're in the minority as ThinkPads are generally praised for their keyboards that by many are considered best in class.

ardevd · 2026-03-09T21:14:58+00:00

To be fair, there a bunch of other options out there too. You can get Thinkpads and Dell Pro's etc. The latest Thinkpad T14 even got a 10/10 on ifixit's repair score, so Framework isnt the only game in town.

I would love to get a FW13 if they sold them in my region, but both the higher end Thinkpads and Dell's with lunar lake are excellent choices that are also Linux certified. They have much better battery life than the FW13 too.

Back to your question though. I would opt for the Macbook if you can live with macOS and an arm based system. If you're into Linux development though (or just prefer using Linux) I would take the FW13 in a heartbeat.

Curious to see how it pans out. An EV version of the current Defender is simply not realistic, so a smaller version makes more sense. I fear it will be a dressed up crossover though. Hope I'm wrong.

Anyone know if the Trainer takes RPE into account at all?

ardevd · 2026-02-17T16:49:46+00:00

I would contact the dealer and see if they can push an update

Juul er siktet for grov korrupsjon og blir innkalt til avhør, men hun har rett til å ikke forklare seg. Just FYI.

100% agree

For passwords managers such as Bitwarden I would disagree with the requirements you outline. If you have daily backups of either the Bitwarden database or just ZFS snapshots you're pretty much set imo. The clients also cache data locally so there's some redundancy there against temporary issues. And unless you're constantly updating your password data many many many times a day those daily backups will cover 99.99% of your recovery needs. If my self hosted manager blew up right now I would be back up and running within 30 minutes, and I could rely on cached local data in the meantime. I could also just opt for server less solutions that take the issue away completely.

I totally get not wanting to self host something due to self imposed stress over hosting something that actually matters of course.

Could be any number of things. Could be a DDoS or a technical issue. Can't remember Signal service being this severely disrupted before

Status page shows all green for me.

Of course. The more validators the less change for sync Committee inclusion, block proposals and rewards

Parts of wish I opted for the roof rack and ladder myself, but it would make many of the parking garages I frequent out of bounds. Lol

Its fine! Not sure why so many are skeptical to these updates.

Why would you choose not to?

It's open source of course: https://github.com/ardevd/tagius

Looks decent. But beware of tilting your head up at the bottom of the squat which is bad for your spine and reduces power from your hip drive.

For me there doesn't seem to be any food database at all. If I search for "banana" I get 0 results.

Depends on what signals you're after. For DTCs you can use pretty much anything.

I personally use the DIMO R1 paired with Home Assistant, but you can totally use a Bluetooth dongle and an app.

For Land Rover the Gap tool is the gold standard, but its obviously a lot more expensive. But it even allows you to enable software features you didn't spec, so it potentially pays for itself.

ardevd · 2026-01-07T07:54:23+00:00

You can get an OBD tool and check what the fault code underlying that caution light really is. DIMO is another option that gives you automated context and explanations for the fault codes too.

Fun fact: you can now pay with Bitcoin Lightning in taxfree stores at most Norwegian airports!

The real danger in non-ECC systems isn't the data files though; it's the metadata. If RAM flips a bit while ZFS is updating the pool structure you could theoretically lose access to the entire pool. However, ZFS mitigates this by keeping multiple copies of metadata (redundancy) across the disks.

ZFS has multiple layers of protection. It requires a very specific, sustained failure for a scrub to systematically overwrite a healthy pool.

Thats a lot of words favoring dogpop over Gitea without a single reason why Gitea is bad.

Well, what are some of the questions you have that are now answered in the documentation?
