I already used desec.io for my domains back when I had static IP blocks at home so I just used the dyndns api with ddclient to update them automatically for my dynamic IP.

Almost everything that can be is: laptops, desktop, servers (LUKS), phone (grapheneos)

email, domain names, VPN

mine XMR on a few computers

I don’t work but I use a script using w3m to print HTML as text. You can find those in the aerc repo.

aerc with mbsync and msmtp and neovim for composing

I don’t really care about phones and my parents give me their old iPhones for free.

App images don’t work on alpine. Use flat pack or run the app image in a chroot

Alpine is great on the desktop too! I use it on all my desktops, laptops and servers.

A molex to PCIe adapter with an 850w power supply. I only have like 10 watts of headroom but usually only one gpu is running at a time so it works fine. I would have bought a better one but my dad accidentally bought 2 for another project so he had an extra one and it works fine.

I have been running wayland with sway for around 6-10 months (I forget when I switched). I have a 4-monitor setup and hated the default workspace management but swaysome convinced me to switch. I heard a lot of stuff about how manual tiling is bad but I actually don’t mind it and kind of prefer it to automatic tiling from AwesomeWM which I used before sway, .

I have a 6700xt for Linux and an old 2070 that I pass through to a windows guest. I might get a usb card too to pass through but not sure if I have any more space in my mid tower for another pci card.

I would not suggest mastodon for such low powered hardware, its also overkill for a personal instance. Akkoma or GotoSocial would work much better on a Pi. The annual cost is pretty much just 3-15$/year for the domain name.

The kindle paper white is nice but it’s Amazon. I have one that I keep in airplane mode and load books over usb.

I prefer digital with no drm but if that is not possible I will get a physical book.

My home directory is a git repo with a .gitignore that contains something like

*

!.config/sway

!.config/sway/*

!.config/sway/**/*

It’s an environment variable. I have MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=true in my sway wrapper script.

I want to do something like this but airmessage does not have a desktop client that works without using their clouds. I use a Apple phone but I just want to be able to respond to texts on my Linux computers. I have an iMac server that I vnc into but it’s kind of annoying just to respond to a text.

Is it open source and in my Linux distro’s repo?
