paulsmal··on Dell Latitude 5411: the Linux compatibility sweet spot
there are few PC vendors (Dell included) offering first class Linux support for some of their products. You can order a laptop with Linux installed out of the box. No need to use old and outdated hardware.
paulsmal··on Helix 23.03
Good editor. Unfortunately no copilot so I'll keep using NeoVim.
paulsmal··on MacBook Pro featuring M2 Pro and M2 Max
The best Linux option laptop at the moment are probably lenovo thinkpad z13 and z16 with 6xxx AMD Ryzen CPUs.
paulsmal··on Linux on the laptop works so damn well that it’s boring
Dell XPS 15 9510(11th gen cpu), intel-only with Dell Thunderbolt Dock works with zero issues. I'm connecting Logitech Bluetooth keyboard and mouse + headphones, external monitors. Yeah, touchpad is not as good as on mac but I don't care.

UPD: Fedora 36

paulsmal··on Sunshine – an open-source gamestream server for Windows and Linux
I've been using it for some time and it works great but I still find Steam remote working smoother. Especially mouse pointer lag.
paulsmal··on Understanding the War in Ukraine
It's a video from 2015, Ukraine has been in a war since then. I would say it's not relevant that much now. A lot of people reconsidered their relation to Russia.

I'm Ukrainian. I lived in Kiev, Dnipro, Odessa and Kharkiv.

paulsmal··on I went back to using a ThinkPad from 2012
Steam remote play or moonlight/sunshine [0] working great for me in setup like this.

paulsmal··on Dell removed Fn+Left/Right for Home/End from all its products
Dell XPS 9570 still working. But I'm waiting for my new XPS 9510 and it would be very frustrating not have fn+arrow key combo working as before
paulsmal··on Wayland is not ready as a 1:1 compatible Xorg replacement just yet
The only thing that holds me back from running my Gnome DE in Wayand is that as of version 88 Google Chrome now supports hardware acceleration. But only for X11.
paulsmal··on Ask HN: What's a side project you built to make money that hasn't?
Back in 2010 I have worked in a support department and didn't have much experience with programming. One of my tools back than was Oracle SQL Developer[0] a java application that worked a little slower than I would like to on my new MacBook Pro at that time, so I tried to make my own client for oracle database[1]. I had some sales right after publishing to Apple app store, but the application needed bug fixing and that was reflected in app reviews. Very quickly I've lost an interest working on my app and shut it down. It felt nice to be able to jump start my sales for App store so quickly but the whole experience with Apple ecosystem wasn't pleasant. Close and locked down. I didn't want to invest my time developing apps for it.

paulsmal··on OpenZFS 2.0
Yeah, still experimental but improved over 20.04. Added encryption and "autotrim=on" by default.

I think Canonical planing is to have ZFS as an experimental option only for Desktop version of Ubuntu until next LTS release.

paulsmal··on OpenZFS 2.0
Ubuntu 20.10 has an option in installer to use ZFS encryption for root partition.
paulsmal··on OpenZFS 2.0
Oh yeah, right. Installation method if one needs ZFS on root.
paulsmal··on OpenZFS 2.0
You know Ubuntu support ZFS since 20.04. Experimental, but quite stable for me. Just select file system during installation process.
paulsmal··on Dear GitHub, Fuck You
But GitHub can't violate export control laws, it's not their fault.
paulsmal··on Vitamin D Supplementation Improves Cognitive Function: 12-month RCT
It’s not vitamin D that needs to be excreting but calcium. That’s why some supplements include vitamin K2, allegedly to absorb calcium into bones.
paulsmal··on macOS Big Sur
Dell XPS 15, Thinkpads
paulsmal··on ReactOS
I know ReactOS has a different purpose and they aim to do a clone of Win32 API and kernel but if you feel nostalgic about Windows look and feel and wonder how a UNIX-kernel windows could be there's serenityos[0]
