Translation got me. It's Dashboard in English interface.

Go to Cockpit > Libraries > Manage library, there's an option to automatically refresh metadata from the Internet every 30-90 days.

For best out of the box experience you may want to try Bazzite (https://bazzite.gg/), it will have pretty much everything included for gaming, except Microsoft Store as noted above. This system is harder to break by doing something stupid and has good documentation on their website.

Alternatively you may try a more traditional "batteries included" distribution like Ultramarine Linux or Linux Mint.

I've tried it a few times, never stuck. I guess it's just convenience, it is a well integrated piece of software, especially if you use both LXC and VMs. Personally I keep using virt-manager and Cockpit.

My project is doing 12 of those. Guess who has another job interview round next Friday?

This. Sometimes it's enough for one person to be OoO and suddenly you can code in silence, work is being done, standups go from 1 hour to 10 minutes. No extra stupid tasks randomly handed out.

I wish that person at my project had at least 3x more paid vacations.

How is FW a fascist? I'm genuinely curious, I've been watching this channel for many years and didn't catch any hints. But I don't follow him outside of YT at all.

I've just moved and I'm setting up my machines. NIC died in my DIY router just before the move so I'm upgrading to 2.5/10 Gbps at the same time.

I was at first slightly hesitant about recommending this channel, but InRangeTV (https://www.youtube.com/...) is a clearly supportive channel and they do showcase guns. They did collaborate a lot with Forgotten Weapons in the past. I'm mentioning in case that's something you don't like.

European Commision's laptops run on Windows 11 and then they need to pay for AWS to do any kind of meanigful work... And then some devs still pick Windows to run on AWS anyway!

Same experience here. I too bought Keychron M6 and have the same opinion, it feels like a supermarket trash device.

I now have 4 Logitech mice, two went through RMA for failing buttons, the other two failed outside of warranty period. I know that I can fix those myself, but I'm also too lazy to do it. I'm not buying another Logitech, but I also don't know what will I buy next time.

I'm not sure if any app syncs progress with eReaders, but I haven't looked into it. Maybe KOreader can? Other than that Audiobookshelf works well with ebooks. I haven't tested it with graphic novels, but it does handle regular ebooks (PDF and EPUB) just fine.

The Six Bullerby Children by Astrid Lindgren. I was maybe 9 at the time. I should reread it someday.

Portability, isolation, the ability to run pretty much anything inside. They do consume more resources, but if they're that much slower then there's probably something wrong in your setup.

Translations can get you results ranging from hilarous to horrible. Especially crowdsourced.

Thanks. Plain Wireguard is an option I'm considering, but it's also considerably more hassle to configure and maintain, especially as I connect more family members to my network. Headscale also has an extra layer of security in the form of ACLs, which I plan to use on top of basic firewall configuration. I do connect my personal machines with Wireguard, but I use one family member as a Tailscale/Headscale test subject.

As for SELinux, I've gave up on it already. It caused me so much headache over the years I disable it with a kernel parameter by default on all machines.

The same also applies to other things, like tools.

I'm working in Java ecosystem and there's a noticeable trend to look down on people who don't use IntelliJ Idea. I've recently joined a new project and I was strongly encouraged to use it. Therefore I'm currently 3 weeks into my 4th attempt over past 10 years to switch to this tool and it simply doesn't work for me. I've been using Eclipse since around 2007, know it very well and it gets the job done. I will not claim that it is better than Idea. I just don't think switching would give me enough return on investment. Especially now, as I'm still learning the new project.

Another reason not to switch is to avoid becoming dependant on an expensive tool. My current team is using Ultimate edition and I've noticed that they are really depending on the extra features.
