How difficult was it for you to configure your self-hosted instance of FMD?
I already have a server which I use to self host owntracks. However, I don’t know much about nginx and after using the automated owntracks installer, I can’t seem to properly configure reverse proxy for anything else eg. Linkwarden.
I initially considered that, but in the end I just bit the bullet and got one 2 weeks ago.
My thought is with the current trend of PC hardware prices, I didn’t want to wait to see how it affects phone prices.
At the same time, I do not know if the collaborative phone between GOS and the manufacturer will be something I like. The current Pixel 10 phone is already bigger than what I ultimately prefer and I think it’s more probable the new phone will be phablet sized.
Definitely. It didn’t help that the application I am using doesn’t support having a custom data storage location.
Very interesting. I was cpnsidering using separate profiles, but I read somewhere that google services is sandboxed anyway, so having it all in 1 profile is fine.
What I will need a separate profile for though, is for banking apps. I have one which is adament that I use a keyboard app from the play store and will refuse to function if I have one from F-droid installed.
Congrats. I too also moved to GOS a little over a week ago. Found out a few of the apps fromy old phone no longer work as intended and I’m now discovering the security restrictions of Android 13 is making syncing of files in the Android/data folder very difficult.
I do not have first hand experience, but have been told that while Bazzite is excellent for gaming, the immutable nature of complicates matters when it comes to software development, dev tools and stuff of that nature.
I may have nothing to hide, but I have absolutely NOTHING I want any govt to see.
Still too big for me to confortably use and carry around, unfortunately.
Sad that yet another promising phone is “phablet” sized. :(
Most of the options listed are easy to use. The difficult part is getting enough users to adopt the new system initially to motivate the rest to migrate as well.
Why does every interesting / unique phone have to be phablet sized. ;(
I have and still use an Ender 3 V2.
One of the many upgrades which i think makes the most improvent / quality of life upgrade is the Z level probe. Either a BL touch or a CR touch will work. It helped me tram the bed as well as built a mesh of the bed.
“Professional firmware” is also a good upgrade. Lots of improvements over the stock Creality firmware.
Once you have been printing with it for some time and feel like tinkering a bit more, “Belted Z” mod for the Ender 3 v2 is another upgrade I did which was really great. It replaces 1 lead screw for 2 belts on each end of the X gantry to prevent sagging.
I also recently upgraded from the stock ender glass beds and replaced it with PEI sheets. I get the choice of either textured or smooth beds and the prints pop right off. No need to wait for it to cool down or having to pop it in the freezer. LOL
As others have mentioned, an alternative distro ypu can try is Bazzite. It’s an immutable distro, so most of the OS is read-only. The OS gets installed on 2 partitions (so you’ll need roughly double the storage space) but you’ll boot into one while updates get pushed into the dormant one. When the OS reboots, you’ll get the recently patched partition while the older one waits for updates and also serves as a backup, just in case.
There’s also Nobara, which is based on Fedora but with gaming specific addons. I think you’ll be able to easily install nVidia drivers as well. It is also a rolling release distro so you’ll get faster updates which I think is better if you want to game in linux.

I may have nothing to hide, but that doesn’t mean I want to share everything with everyone.
I tried several other Google Keep replacements and settled on Joplin as well as the contents are encrypted at rest. I use Foldersync to keep the noted synchronised between my mobile devices.
Built.myself a new.gaming desktop and decided to dive into thw deep end by installing linux. Been working quite well, so far. Almost all the games i play do not use any anti-cheat, so i don’t feel that i’m missing out on anything. The only game which does not work that well is Roadcraft. I’ll just wait until it is patched to run better. I have lots of games in my backlog to play anyway.
Something different and possibly unique / whimsical.
A lot of train stations have a rubber stamp + ink pad of the station name and a logo / picture. As you trvel around Tokyo via their excellent public transport system, look around or ask their staff where the “ike-stamp” is.
It became a very unique souvenir of my holiday there.
Also along the same line, most shrines you visit will have an office where you can purchase a “shrine book” and for a few hundred yen, have a staff write in it the name of the shrine and the date you were there. Another unique souvenir.
I use TrackerControl with pribate dns via NextDNS. Seems to work well.
