Agreed. Debian with docker, flatpak, and/or distrobox is solid

I think I see what you’re saying. My gripe is that if I want a laptop/tablet with a great ARM chip, with long battery life, my options all force me to use one of two operating systems that I’d prefer not to use for ideological reasons. If I’m forced to use one, because I want an ARM device, I might as well use the one that has the best hardware. M5s are right around the corner and the MacBook Airs are really competitive.

If I misinterpreted your question, then no, as far as I’m aware, none of the M series has FULL support. The M1s and M2s are pretty close though.

Let me know when these X elite chips have full Linux compatibility and then I’ll be interested. Until then, I’ll stick with Mac, it has the better hardware.

Just to add to your comment; get a three phase inspection. Inspect the foundation before the walls go up, inspect right before the drywall goes up, and inspect after the drywall goes up before you start signing paperwork. If you wait to inspect after the drywall is up, you can miss a lot.

Do you have a list of items you’d be willing to share?

You’ll have to scroll down a bit and maybe view it in reader mode but NY Times is reporting differently

This isn’t exactly what you asked for but just in case it might interest you; I ordered this Aoostar WTR Pro recently to replace an Odroid that died on me. It has an intel N150 and lets you install whatever OS you want. I’m pretty happy with it so far.

Paperless-ngx - it allows you to upload important documents like receipts, contracts, etc. and uses OCR so you can search them

2018 - adds digital wellbeing features to help you disengage from your device

2025 - makes the entire interface more engaging to help keep you engaged

It looks nice. It’s like having a casino in your pocket.

Have you seen the price of McDonalds recently? I’d rather miss a meal than get scammed like that. Fuck them.

To go along with that, Telegram doesn’t make it easy to set up an encrypted chat. First, you have to set up a regular chat, then tap on the profile image of the person you are messaging, then tap the 3 dot menu, and finally tap “secret chat”. It’s there but they clearly don’t want people using it.

If you know iptables, just stick with that. In my testing, docker containers seem to ignore ufw rules. Supposedly, iptable rules are respected but I haven’t learned iptables yet so I can’t verify.

I don’t know what the fuck is going on. The client app connects to all 4 servers it needs a connection to. I can create a user on the server and all clients can login using it, I just can’t get notes to sync.

Official docs here

I found this tutorial1 and this tutorial2

Tutorial2 makes this one port change to the official docker compose file but otherwise is seemingly the same as tutorial1:

  notesnook-s3:
    image: minio/minio:RELEASE.2024-07-29T22-14-52Z
    ports:
      - 9009:9000
      - 9090:9090

With that change, and setting the port of the domain to 9090, I can access minio in the browser. But I don’t know if that’s necessary or not. I’m stumped.

Did you by chance self host the sync server using docker compose? Their instructions aren’t great and I was hoping you had some tips.

For anyone else interested, if I figure it out, I’ll post what I did here.

Edit 1: I finally got it all setup but syncing isn’t working so I guess I did something wrong 🙄 . Troubleshooting now

I’m pretty happy with my Ubuntu, docker, and ZFS with Sanoid/Syncoid server. Nothing against NAS focused distros, I just haven’t come across a compelling enough reason to switch.

For hardware, I use a Odroid H4+. Intel N97, 4 SATA ports, Intel quick sync, and low power. It’s running my 20ish docker containers with plenty of power to spare. It’s been great

The downward trend on the stock market is still in place 🤷‍♂️

I’ll DM you in a bit but real quick I just wanted to say I thought you improved in this episode. Great work
