I have a `.gitignore` file with `*` in it to ignore all files, so I explicitly type `dotfiles add --force`.

Hardware still uses a single band WLAN. Unfortunately, I won't be able to use it because of this. The 2.4GHz band in my apartment complex is severely degraded due to the sheer amount of channel conflicts. My Netgear router can only handle 2-5Mbps.

While I don't think there is anything exactly like that, I believe Geary and Mailspring come close. I personally use aerc, a CLI email client.

The RX 480 is far from ancient and is probably one of the best cards that I've used. When I RMA'd my RX 5700XT (which still crashes after RMA), this thing was a champ. This card is still king for 1080p gaming and can handle 1440p too.

The restarting issue also occurs for me on Windows 10. Although, it usually occurs 80% of the time rather than half for me. I suspect it might be due to me plugging in power to the headset after starting the system, but I've seen it occur without doing that as well, so I am unsure.

It's highly unlikely you are going to get banned on GTA even with cheats. The anti-cheat is a joke. The game is filled to the brim with cheaters. If me and my friends play, we play with cheats just to protect ourselves from other cheaters.

I don't browse it daily though. I browse it nightly ;).
away_throw | 5 years ago | on: Wayland on Wine: A First Update
I have yet to experience this. Granted XWayland makes any utilities not running in Wayland work perfectly for me. The only issues that I have ran into were because of screen-sharing not being supported by Electron. OBS works perfectly though. However, keep in mind that I use sway. I've heard horror stories from KDE and Gnome running on Wayland, but, as far as I know, this is because they apparently have terrible implementations. The benefits for me are the lack of screen tearing and Wayland just feels smoother.

The question is where to source alternatives. It is significantly harder to find products from alternative sources. For some products, the only solution is DIY.
away_throw | 5 years ago | on: I'm tired of this anti-Wayland horseshit
That's true. Hopefully Ozone will be officially released in Chromium/Electron which will make this as simple as that. At least in Discord, XOrg screenshare always gave me trouble.
away_throw | 5 years ago | on: I'm tired of this anti-Wayland horseshit
I believe that this is being fixed soon if you compile Electron with "Ozone" support. Otherwise, I use the current workaround of using OBS with a "virtual webcam" which allows me to stream OBS to a webcam and just use my webcam as the screenshare. Actually ends up working better than any screenshare utility that I've used.

Still waiting on a Luxembourg KVM slice to come in stock.

True, it's definitely not a daily driver at the moment, but the software will mature.
My friend has one with an ATT sim, and calls+SMS works just fine on postmarketOS. The UI is really sluggish though.
away_throw | 5 years ago | on: Fuck Cloud Messaging
Until the PinePhone gets 5Ghz, its unusable for me. I live in an apartment and 2.4Ghz has like 15% packet loss and only has 2Mbps downloads with stuttering and slow loads.

This is why I always use PDFs as the slides. Even if there is no PDF viewer, the web browser is capable of opening it.

I'm just entering the field (19-yo), and I don't have an particular experience in the field yet. From people I've talked to, jobs that you describe are the best options. I'm particularly interested in government jobs for these reasons.

The great thing about OnePlus phones is that nearly all of them have LineageOS support. I just install this over OxygenOS. Also when I installed OxygenOS, I recall it asking if I wanted to provide analytics to them in the setup process.
