A great tip for those who need a little cooling off after the end of a hot day; who would have thought to include AC with power lines! What will they think of next?

I use uh, oh what's it called, Homearr? Yeah, that's the one. It makes it easy for me to access services when I can't remember the names (see above lol). It's only for server... services (at least for my setup), I haven't really personalized it. I use a tab group extension (name escapes me) and that way I have general stuff, local server, vps, etc etc and that helps keep thing from going nuclear, but I still have a lot of tabs - last time I checked I was nearing 1k. That's with FreshRSS and Linkding, in an attempt to curb the tab madness...

Librewolf. Firefox as a backup. Chrome as a backup-backup.

IronFox. Vanadium as a backup.

I'm up to my neck in privacy settings, systems, extensions, etc. LW does everything I need, with the exception of a couple different sites (glares at cpanel). I have been rocking it for a couple years now. IronFox is a fork of Mull, which is now defunct. Vanadium comes with GrapheneOS and cannot be removed, so it gets the backseat treatment (it's fine - but I need my extensions and deep settings, yeah yeah it's supposed to be more secure but safer isn't necessarily also more private).

Plus, LW is a fucking wolf browser. Hello. Wolves are #1, and this statement is absolutely not biased because I have a hybrid wolf fursona. Absolutely not. 0%.

(maybe like 5% okay wolves are awesome)

Plex was the reason why I learned Docker + watchtower, so that I wouldn't have to worry about updates (work smarter not harder). Now I have like 35 containers and am comfortable with docker. 🐳

Because it works. Call me in a few years when movies, TV shows, dvr recordings, live TV (with free, built-in guide support), and working picture support shows up. Oh, commercial removal too (again, built-in, just check a box). A not-shit setup process would be nice, too.

I've tried jf three times now across as many years, and it's still got that 'Linux developer feel' of a tool where the devs got what they need the most mostly-working, and just don't give a fuck about anything else - or a decent UI. No, blue boxes on a black background is not a decent UI. It wasn't when W8 launched, and it's not now. And when W8 is winning the competition, you've already lost.

Feature parity or the argument is moot.

USAA is guilty of this shit. Let's you set a huge password. Truncates it. Doesn't tell you about it. Error when logging in.

I want to beat the motherfucker behind this strategy.

E: Kagi too. I bitched out the support and I got a 'meh, it should have told you' response. Fix your shit.

(my first post on lemmy so I hope I'm doing this right)

Distro: Spiral Linux (Debian, KDE spin), by recommendation

System: Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Gen 2 (Intel) (distro recommended as I am looking for Debian(-based), + btrfs, snapshots, and fde, included via the gui installer)

I'm having issues getting ModemManager to unlock my X55 modem. This morning I wiped my drive to install Spiral (KDE), coming from Kubuntu 24.04. While the modem worked after running the proper fcc unlock script in Kubuntu, it is entirely missing in my Spiral install. While I assumed that it would not be that simple, I copied /etc/ModemManager from my Kubuntu live environment to Spiral, ran

sudo ln -sft /etc/ModemManager/fcc-unlock.d /usr/share/ModemManager/fcc-unlock.available.d/105b:e0ab

and restarted, but alas that's not enough, so I'm stuck. I have added the network profile + apn to ModemManager (the UI) but of course without the modem unlocked, I can't connect. I'm new to cellular modems in Linux (this was a windows machine until ~6 weeks ago) but I'm otherwise comfortable with the terminal and commands. The modem was working as expected last night in Kubuntu.

I haven't got the system setup yet (trying this first before going further) so if I botch this, an install is no problem. I'm assuming it's either (or both?) a service, or a missing package that sets up what's needed, but I'm at a loss as to how to proceed.

I discussed this here https://lemmy.world/comment/10540509 this morning, though I think I got all the important details typed up above. But maybe it could be useful somehow.

Any suggestions are welcomed :)
