Your best option by far is to overwrite windows completely. For most software development Linux is way better anyway.

I haven’t done this recently enough to guide you on the details, but step zero is to decide whether you are certain you want to dual boot or not. It adds a lot of complexity and brittleness that is best avoided if at all possible.

• Try to find Linux compatible replacements for the software you need.
• if that doesn’t exist, see if you can run it on Linux with wine.
• If that isn’t possible, consider running windows inside a virtual machine on Linux.
• If you do want honest, bare-metal windows then using two different physical drives will be easier and more reliable. Ideally your laptop has room for two drives, otherwise you can dangle a USB SSD (not a flash drive). Windows won’t install to a USB drive but Linux doesn’t care.

Tractor pulls

H model C-130s, the ones with the 4 square blade props? The engines and props are mechanically governed. There are electronic corrections applied, but the core of the systems are purely mechanical. Still flying.

I’ve been meaning to set up a drive rotation for the local backup so I always have one offline in case of ransomware, but I haven’t gotten to it.

Edit: For the backup set I back up pretty much everything. I’m not paying per gig, though.

iPhone 3G. I’ll never forget the day I put the internet in my pocket

Raised conservative christian, took a disgustingly long time to lose some of my shittier takes

Im so excited to finally get icc color calibration

Poland. It’s pretty nice but the language is real hard to learn

Moved to Europe

I fuuuhuhuhucking hate this condescending, pestering dark pattern that apparently every single designer on the planet is required to use

I’ve always wanted to write a bot that replies to comments that say „I have no words” with a list of random words

I haven’t had a chance to watch the video yet, but I will when I can, thanks for the recommendation!

From personal experience, my 2 year old Phone 14 only competes with my 6 year old a6400 in perfect light when it comes to noise and sharpness. Indoors it’s not even close.

Any decent camera with an m4/3 or better sensor and a half decent lens will blow the best smartphones out of the water. Computational photography can’t beat physics.

Edit: in good light they can get close, but the differences show up quickly in low light, if you crop, or if you look at it on anything bigger than a phone.

Started learning web development.

Self hosting is pretty great right now. Immich, Tailscale, truenas, docker, vaultwarden - you can solve so many of your own problems with any old computer you have lying around

It’s not conventional wisdom, but I’m happiest with arch.

• I’m familiar with it
• can install basically any package without difficulty
• also love that I never have a gigantic version upgrade to deal with. sure there might be some breaking change out of nowhere, but it’ll show up in my rss feeds and it hits all my computers at the same time so it’s not hard to deal with.
• Arch never really surprises me because there’s nothing installed that didn’t choose to put there.
• arch wiki

Tempted by nixos but I CBA to learn it.
