Have you checked out the bigscreen headset? It’s only doing upscaling to overcome the resolution limitations of displayport 1.4, and the form factor might be to your liking.
Shame about the lens glare effect, but otherwise, pretty cool!
Buster’s slightly concerned he’s about to be replaced with bookworm
You could do it in 6GB of RAM with windows subsystem for linux.
S3 is what people actually think of when they think of sleep mode, or modern standby. The running state of the operating system is stored in RAM, in low power mode. All context for the cpu, other hardware like disks and network is lost and those devices are completely shut down - bar the RAM. Basically, you close the lid at the end of the day, and you’re nearly at the same charge level the next morning.
This saves a lot of power. On my older 8th gen intel cpu laptop, it loses maybe 1-2% charge per day in this mode.
My new 13th gen laptop still has deep sleep, or standby (s3) as a hardware function, but it’s technically not supported. It actually doesn’t work when enabled, and just falls back to s1 (sleep, everything’s still on, just in low power mode). It loses about 2-3% per hour in this mode
S4 (Hibernate) does roughly the same as S3, but the OS state is stored to the disk instead of ram, so that can be shut off too. Now the device is completely powered off, losing no charge while ‘asleep’.
S5 is off
S4 sleep takes much longer to wake up from than s3, so was less desirable. In the modern computing world (especially end user devices), commonly there’s full disk encryption going on, which adds a layer of complexity to resuming from disk, as you would when waking up from hibernation (s4).
Making it resume without putting in a decryption password for example (using a TPM), isn’t simple, and breaks a lot when you do system upgades
Let me introduce you to an interesting theory.
I never solved this issue. I just tried to solve all merges through the cli on a laptop or desktop. Eventually, I switched to syncthing, and I haven’t looked back.
The only soulslike that’s reasonably flashy yet simple enough that comes to mind is Code Vein
It’s slightly more cartoony than black desert, but has a high degree of character customization.
Story’s fine, but not required.
Combat was cool. I found it fine even on a bluetooth controller. Didn’t get massively frustrated with input lag.
Character builds can vary quite a lot, and are mostly viable. I played a glass cannon and my friend played a tank. They worked just fine alone or together. On that note, the coop is serviceable.

Probably wait for a discount.
I can honestly say my space grey first-gen magic keyboard has served me well. It sits on my desk at work, I use it every day, and it only needs charging once every few months.
The only thing I’ve ever done to damage it is pulling the z key off to clean between the keys, I tried to jam it back on wrong and ruined part of the scissor mechanism
My next keyboard may yet be one of the newer models, but it’s to expensive to pull the trigger yet.
Having tried it in person, I’m also considering the logitech mx keys mac variant. I didn’t even notice the key shaping while actually typing, and it’s the first keyboard I’d say comes close to being a magic keyboard replacement.
I like the option(alt)/command(super) switched layout.
I’ve got a keychron k3 ultra v2 too. I finally gave in on the mechanical keyboard train and splurged a bit - but now:
I’ve had the white slim first-gen mini magic keyboard for years too. The battery swelled up, so I removed it and use it wired now. That was probably 8/9 years old.
As shocking as this might be, I think he’s agreeing, and offering supplimentary proof
My friend and I tried this with sevtech ages. Too heavy, too much, too slow.
We switched to life in the village with iris shaders, and we’re much happier!

So I’ve implemented Obsidian Git, and it works really well. The only trouble I’ve had is on iOS (I’ve got m it on android, fedora, debian and windows) where it’s bot supporting merge changes.
I’m considering moving to logseq and implementing the same.
The other alternative to self hosting is ‘SyncThing’. After I introduced my dad to obsidian, I saw how he did his synchronization with it, and it looks like a lot less overhead - fairly compelling
Happy to share some notes on my setup and his if you like
I’m not sure that’s a fair comment - I’m on lineage and I’m still getting rom and android security updates, but not vendor ones. On an OP9 for context.
It changes up two to four days.
Currently it’s Witness (Hope 1), by Roots Manuva.
Last week it was The Caves of Altamira, by Steely Dan
This is also true for UDP and ICMP connections, in case anyone reading wasn’t sure. This is how you’re able to ping stream and browse from behind your regular firewalls
Oh I know, I was agreeing with you!
I was outlining a problem that containers can’t (currently) solve in solidarity. Sorry, that wasn’t clear.
I can’t figure out how to get them to work they way I want.
I don’t store any history/cookie/cache data by default, it’s all eliminated on shutdown of the browser. So I have to put in exceptions for password managers, tickting systems and other stuff.
Like, what if I want to have whatsapp in a container? Well, if you want it to work nicely, you need to allow persistant cookies. Then it stays logged in between sessions.
But that exception is valid for all containers, not just the whatsapp container. I work for an MSP, I’ve got hundreds of accounts to the same few sites, adobe/microsoft/antivirus and they all work fine! But there’s tracking cookies for those sites too that can be stored and retrieved too.
I want per container cookie/cache exception options, because forcing a site to open in a single container isn’t viable in all circumstances. That’s why I have to use profiles.
Ubuntu GUI/apt fail
Back when I used ubuntu, Unity was stuck with old gnome packages. This meant that the version gnome-terminal packaged with ubuntu (up to at least 18.04) didn’t have text reflow on window size changes.
You could add the upstream sources, upgrade the specific text reflow package only, and then disable the sources.
I forgot to disable the sources, or typed dist-upgrade (this happened multiple times…). Broke the whole desktop/lightdm setup with half upgraded packages, and half removed packages (for preparation to install new versions). Way easier to reinstall the os than to disentangle. Unity was a mess then anyway.
Moral: Actually read the package change summaries when doing updates/removes/installs, and [ y/N ] means actually check what the fuck you think you’re agreeing to.
BtrFS snapshots for idiots
I’ve also run automated snapshots on my btrfs partition, then run out of space doing multi-hop system upgrade on fedora (dnf has a plugin that creates a snapshot every time it kicks in.
You can imagine there were many changes happenning per snapshot, and I effectively could have rolled back 4 major fedora versions… Til I ran out of space.
I couldn’t get a replacement drive in time, and I had an hour to rebuild my laptop before needing to be on a customer site, so sadly I couldn’t preserve my drive for later investigation. My best guess is the high-water-mark was configured incorrectly, and somehow it was able to ‘write’ data past the extents of the filesystem.
Rollback did work for my home partition, but I had to mount it from another OS to get it to work - so no data loss!
By that time I’d already reinstalled the os to the root partition/subvolume however, so I couldn’t determine the exact cause of failure :(
Moral: Snapshots are not backups, and ‘working’ is not ‘tested’
Where as I’ve got my 3S plugged in to my work laptop running fedora and, and I regularly have to cycle the connection setting away from the bolt dongle and back again, because the input becomes choppy and laggy.
No issue with the straight bluetooth connection, but the high resolution scrolling doesn’t seem to work
