  1. Started to implement a better personal-work split on my machines. Now I no longer keep a copy of my memex on my work machine, instead I keep my laptop on my desk and switch between them with #Deskflow . It's not ideal, I'd rather keep only one machine powered on, but I also don't want to risk my #privacy. I'll experiment with letting the laptop go to sleep and auto-reconnect when it wakes. Maybe Deskflow could send a #wakeOnLan packet?

  2. @mshelton or better: Look at your #IT #Refurbisher...

    Chances are they have a ton of cheap #Lazer multifunction units for less than a full pack of #Ink needed to scan (!!!) with those shitty #Inkjet machines.

    Also don't just ditch #hp for printers, but also #PCs and #Laptops, because their #ProBook series of machines do #VendorLocking of #RAM and will refuse to boot without manually confirming by pressing F1 on the devices' keyboard every single bootup (!!!), bricking #PXE-Boot & #WakeOnLAN / #WoL in the process just to #FUD #customers and #IntependentRepair service providers!

    The problem is in #IT that #WhatWeAllowIsWhatWillContinue and we allowed Corporations like #Apple to sprearhead the #Enshittification with #GluedInBatteries, #SolderedDownRAM, #SolderedDownSSDs and #AntiRepairDesign!

    The only winning move is to refuse to buy such shit!!

    Get a @frameworkcomputer and a @fairphone / #Fairphone if #BuyUsed & #UseLonger isn't an option, because in #capitalism, your reciept is your vote - EVERY SINGLE TIME!

  3. W̶a̶k̶e̶ ̶o̶n̶ ̶L̶A̶N̶ Wake-on-Zigbee

    Maintaining Wake-on-LAN on a dual-boot Windows 10 / Ubuntu 22.04LTS system is a hassle. So I went with a simple Fingerbot solution. Now I have Wake-on-Zigbee!

    By default the system boots into Ubuntu which hosts an Ollama server and does some video compression jobs (I wanted to be able to start those remotely). I only use Windows for VR gaming when I'm physically in the room and therefore can select the correct partition at boot.
