Well, it's been a while since I last shared something over here. Recent months have been full of everything, for better or worse.

I've become aware that my impulse to broadcast ebbs and flows, and I'd say I'm still ebbing right now.

I'm planning to repurpose an old laptop as a home server running #alpine linux.

The laptop is 10 years old, has 8GB of RAM, a 250GB SSD, and more than enough CPU for what I need. It draws 5W while idle. At current electricity prices (renewable source), this would cost $0.5 per month.

Obviously it'll draw more with real workloads, but my needs are not demanding and its not a constant load. This will replace my VPS, which is Hetzner's cheapest offering, and runs mostly underutilized.

Seriously, the Fedora and KDE combo has been the most "just works" experience I've ever used.

In another "just works" post on #fedora 40 #kde, I connected my Fujitsu iX500 scanner to my laptop wondering how easy it would be get it working.

I discovered the sane project, and created a new #toolbx container running Ubuntu to get it installed. It worked, but I wanted a native GUI.

Then I discovered that KDE has Skanpage, which immediately recognized the scanner and worked. No need for the additional toolbx container, no need to download Fujitsu's frontend - all great.

I've used a Dell U2715H monitor for many years with different machines and operating systems: Windows 10, Windows 11, several versions of MacOS, and Ubuntu. All these years, I have controlled the monitor's brightness using the monitor's built-in control.

Well, color me surprised. Today I plugged in my laptop running Fedora 40 with KDE Plasma and for the first time I can control both the monitor's and the laptop's screen brightness using the brightness key.

Some weeks ago I wrote about my Framework dying on me, and then fixing it by reinstalling one of the memory chips.

Today it happened again, but reinstalling the chip did not solve it. I had to remove the chip altogether.

I'll need to order a replacement, but in the meantime using the single 16GB chip should be fine.

These two also worked together in Coldplay's Moon Music. What a treat! Two of my favorite musicians.

I'm a happy Neovim convert after a couple of months of use, though I still open Sublime Text for certain tasks.

The LSP integration works pretty well with the different languages and environments that I've worked with since then.
