As much as I love the idea of the laptop, and as much as I want one, I just can't seem to justify it over my current Lenovo T480. Other than a faster/newer processor, I'm not sure that I'd
  • I went from a T480 to an 11th gen Framework and while I appreciate the upgradable design and better portability, honestly, I could have easily continued to use that Thinkpad as my main machine. If you don't need the upgrade, save your money and drive that T480 into the ground. It's a fantastic machine, as is the Framework.

  • Laptop companies: which one?
  • Yeah it is but it's a pretty capable laptop. I've replaced mine with a Framework 11th gen for my daily use but my T480 is currently hosting 10 VMs for my homelab. It's got the base CPU, i5-8250U, 64GB of RAM and a 4TB SSD and is plenty of horsepower. I really only got the Framework because I was excited about the product and company, not because I was unsatisfied with the T480. I highly recommend it.

  • Looking for Self-Hosted Budgeting Tools Similar to YNAB
  • Not sure if you're into command line tools but I'm using hledger and have emulated pretty well the YNAB envelope method and I'm liking it quite a bit. Using plain text for transaction journals is amazing and has solved some of the ambiguity I felt when using YNAB. Tons of information here for this type of accounting method. And look here specifically for implementing the envelope method with these sorts of tools.

    No phone apps are available as far as I know but depending on your technical expertise you could provide reports from a webpage pretty easily.

  • Alternatives to tar for archiving Linux system?
  • Borg or restic since they do deduplication.

    My biggest data regret is rsync-ing or tar-ing up my systems to my fileserver as a backup mechanism. So much wasted space. Extremely difficult to find anything. Impossible to properly organize. These backup solutions improve the situation tremendously.

  • How do I stop seeing post from 2 or 3 days ago?
  • Sort by All->New or Subscribed->New, depending on how many communities you are following. Keep in mind though that Lemmy is still much smaller than Reddit at the moment but it's getting better by the day.

  • Feature request: allow disable auto-scrolling

    I have been finding a lot of great content by setting my view to "All" and sort type to "Hot" or even "Top Day". However, it is kind of infuriating how those modes automatically scroll with seemingly no way to disable it. Am I just missing an option somewhere or is there a known workaround for this? This is on the lemmy.ml web view.

    Migrating From Reddit
  • Yep, deleted Relay earlier this week and have been exploring here. Don't really miss it although a bit interested in the drama and if Reddit will have any true ramifications. I was there for the Digg to Reddit exodus and this feels very similar.

    My next project is to get my entity naming fixed and consistent. I've not started yet and I'm not even sure what the right approach long term approach is....

  • About to get started with NixOS
  • Oh that is funny because for me I guess I've hit the tipping point where now my NixOS setup is the one that "gets out of my way". I sometimes play around with new releases of other distros but always go back to my NixOS setup because I can just restore my nix config and it's back exactly how it was before.
