The post title says “ever” rather than “2025”. It’s cool for 2025 and we may get some interesting others, but many here will have ran it on something slower at some point.

You can manually edit the gcode to see if printing white first works out better. Then search for a more repeatable solution if you often re-slice.

Manipulating gcode looks intimidating the first time but it’s really not that crazy. Cura adds comments to the gcode and you can look up the codes otherwise, I expect Pusa Slicer to do the same. You want to move the whole printing sequence of the white nozzle before the printing sequence of the second black one on the first layer. Keep the setup (heating etc) before that.

We run Taiga and it seems to work fine.

If you want to link to external sources in a structured way and you don’t mind tweaking the looks, SolidOS (ot another SOLID app) has a task list/tracker.

I keep my personal tasks in org-mode or org-roam.

Fully agree. I presume it’s way harder than it seems. https://codeberg.org/forgejo-contrib/federation/src/branch/main/FederationRoadmap.md shows some things as done and many as WIP. Perhaps there’s a demo server somewhere with which we can experiment?

Oh I feel you. Typing too much too fast is terrible on the wrists.

I remapped some keys for the key combos and have no issues with those now. Regardless of editor, good posture may help. I find good posture easier with split keyboards which often include a thumb cluster.

Perhaps multi-modal editing is better and you can do that with evil-mode. I’ve created some prefix key combinations with Alt-Gr and with the super (windows) keys to create something like it whilst keeping most most common commands close to the default. Namely C-x is now s-c which is way more relaxing on Dvorak layout.

Doom Emacs includes evil-mode by default perhaps that’s your cup of tea.

That would be Emacs.

Emacs is like an operating system bringing various tools into the same editing interface, including email. Emacs is very adaptive, you can get VIm like bindings through evil-mode.

I’ve been waiting for that progress to materialise. Although I really want it to work, it has taken so long now that I doubt it is taken seriously and thus I start to doubt they will keep maintaining it once it does land.

For most commercial software you don’t need federation though, so for most you can just spin up your own instance.

I own this. It is horrible. If the specs were real it would be great, but the specs are not real. It is a 3k black and white monitor with a fixed color filter over it. That means you need 3x3 pixels to resemble a color.

I consider it a scam from Dasung.

Boox on the other hand made a sane black and white display. Much better. I own a Max 2 Pro. Sadly they fail to understand that when you report a display as 20px smaller than it really is over an HDMI port and then rescale the image of the computer display on that, that it becomes really uncrisp. Their suggestion is to use the display with 200% scaling (so you don’t notice as much I suppose).

Epaper is really promising and nice. However both of these companies should either get some real competition or lawsuits.

Depends on the use.

The screen protector serves as a blue light filter too, it’s cheaper than a display, and fairly thin. That’s a straightforward addition for my use but if you don’t have issues with your phone dropping then you could certainly do without.

I very much dislike cases and loved the PH-1 for stating that a phone should be solid enough without a case (sadly it did not survive a 50cm drop on a floor so it did not hold up in practice). If you don’t have much issues with your phone dropping then not having a case makes it so much nicer.

I take more risk holding my phone than I should which means it falls more than average. The price I have to pay is a screen protector and cover. Replacing the display should be easy, but it’d also be wasteful.

I had to replace parts on my FP5. It fell on very bad asphalt at speed whilst cycling in a foreign country. The glass on the camera modules scattered. Display protector broke and the case got some good damage. I was instantly calmed realising it is a FairPhone and knowing I could order replacement parts.

Repairs were trivial and it feels good to have created just a tiny amount of e-waste instead of a large amount. The black aluminium case has some war wounds (scratches) reminding me of the trip.

I have a cheap power supply which can be limited in current and voltage and I’ve been able to revive many such batteries with it. I use it as a drip charger limiting current and voltage so neither gets too high until the regular charger picks up the battery again.

I have not had many issues in the past 15 or more years myself running Linux exclusively aside from a shorter Macbook period. Perhaps I have just been lucky.

We sported (in guessed cronological order of first buy): Dell, HP, Lenovo, Slimbook, Tuxedo, Starlabs, BTO all running Linux at our company. We have not had big issues with any except for keyboard on a Dell, Tuxedo, Slimbook and cooling on a Lenovo. Since I chose the Slimbook many have followed on the path of smaller suppliers and I think we rarely buy from the big makes now.

I have been very happy with slimbook. I came from a macbook (bad idea) with the bad butterfly keyboard and the slimbook was a big upgrade on that front. It’s still not the greatest keyboard for some but I do like it. I have been wanting to buy a new one but whenever something broke or was insufficient I could either upgrade (2 x nvmeSSD slots and RAM can be replaced) or they still supplied spare parts when I sent them an email (keyboard replacement after 4 years). I wanted a framework but Slimbook has offered me spare parts as needed for longerbtham could buy a framework and the slimbook still works well. Plus it’s less expensive. Replacement of the keyboard was not toolless requiring glue to be heated but I did manage to quickly do it with a sleepy head at night. I’d buy their new 13" if this one would be out of service. I’d buy one now but it feels such a waste.

Things I did not like 6 years ago: webcam and microphone of lesser quality, display nice and matte with good color rendition but lower resolution than I’d prefer, no USBC charging on USBC port. Display and USBC are resolved on the new models, no clue about webcam and microphone.

Not CoreXY but you may want to check out FLSun’s delta offerings too.

I have an older one and it has served me well. I bought a QQS pro (I think) for tinkering. It worked well out of the box but I could not resist changing the stepper drivers, installing Klipper, changing the hotend, … It still works well, just faster.

Looking at the few reviews of what they have today I’d buy again but would try not to swap out parts. That or the Prusa you’re looking at.

Agree. They’ll surely to pay the cost and they have a proven track record on handling any potential lock in.

The Docker runtime is probably ok as it is a tool instead of a community. The registry has a community aspect and is where we’ll likely see exploitation of vendor lock in. Luckily Docker was grounded well and you can set up your own registry.

Answer: they’re holding up just fine

Updated my comment to reflect this. Thanks for clearing out the confusion.

There is a standard connector which existed before big screens landed in cars, the OBD2 connector. Dongles are cheap and you can read the output from your phone or computer. Some dongles support bluetooth. The connector is mandated in some markets and I guess that makes it less interesting to add a redundant interface inside of the car. It’s fun to try if you’re interested. Manufacturers can extend the error codes IIRC.

Tesla has a service mode on the display through which you can scan the car for faults, run a battery test, … It is password protected but the password is publicly available.

FP5 using e/OS here showing the same artifacts.

I run e/OS on a FP5. I ran e/OS on a Essential PH-1 before and going back to a phone with Google installed just didn’t sit right with me. I did not feel like I could trust the device even after trying to toggle as much of the creepy spying off. As if there’s still someone probably looking over your shoulder because you configured something wrong.

It is not perfect, but it is easy to use and full-featured. All regular apps feel great and battery life is good. I still use specific Google services (such as the calendar for work) but no specific Google apps. I guess Maps is the biggest challenge now but alternatives are good enough to get around with.

You can run Android apps. Not sure about payed Android apps. I try to install FOSS apps through the integrated f-droid store if they’re available there. Installing app store apps sometimes fails because Google blocked the installer. I could install everything so far when needed (including banking apps and specific apps for the vacuum cleaner and such). Sometimes the Android app store apps don’t update for a while and I don’t notice.

I don’t use Murena’s services but self-host Nextcloud. Based on the information they send I think they’re doing a great job for their size.

I flashed the FP5 myself with a beta of e/OS when it was just out because the other phone was broken and (again) I did not feel right with the spying demon in my pocket with native Android. You could flash your device too.

It’s comfortable on this side. If you have further specific questions, shoot.
