  • You can put together a media server and build a catalogue so you can watch movies and series offline. Maybe not a huge priority in that situation but definitely nice to have.

    Jellyfin is a good option for streaming from a media server to other devices. The *arr suite is an option for building the catalogue.




  • I’m waiting for Cosmic to be merged into NixOS stable which I learned is just around the corner (May). I’m super excited because Cosmic seems to strike a sensible balance between polished, full-featured, make-everyone-happy mainstream DE and performance-oriented tiling WM.

    Although I’ve never tested the Alpha, I have a feeling that I might finally make the switch (from Gnome) on my daily driver once it’s mature enough.







  • You can load bitmap images into Inkscape and manipulate them to a degree, but Gimp is much better at that. You can probably also load vector graphics (svg) into Gimp, but I’d assume they would be converted to bitmaps.

    Vector vs bitmap is a good topic to be familiar with for anyone who works with computers, I keep running into professionals who really should know the difference but don’t.

    Instead of saying something like “I’ve been thinking about making some changes, I’m gonna finally check things out, fingers crossed”, the person in the screenshot went out of their way to emphasize how limited and broken LibreOffice / Linux supposedly is.

    As an experienced user of both I think that’s utterly ridiculous, so what I was going for in my post was an absurd exaggeration of that sentiment. It’s not the greatest post or anything, but I don’t think the text is super ambiguous either. I guess can kind of see how people mistook my post for one that’s shitting on FOSS (especially with a negative vote count already next to it), and it’s really not the end of the world, but I’m also rolling my eyes at how superficial of a reading that presupposes.

    There, you asked.
