Of course, but IMHO it's worth checking the alternatives first before requesting an "obvious" (but only to me) feature that someone spends hours of their free time working on...

I was orignally hoping that the built-in mute could be scheduled, so that might be a suggestion.

So far DnD appears to be the option for me, now that I've thought about it more (after reading these comments) rather than trying to pause ntfy, gotify, etc...

What graph card are you using?

Not OP, but take a look at Open Energy Monitor - I use EmonPi which is a Raspberry Pi based system with current detection sensors

Uses the Emoncms Integration to read the data into HA.

You can also embed it's own webUI into HA with a webcard

Excellent explanation - I might use your "feet in shoes" analogy in the future

GParted has solved so many things over the years... my data, my reputation... maybe even my job on 1 occasion.

Probably due to too much coffee in his house.

So, Microsoft saved everyone from the bad Linux then?

/s

If this gives you an idea for an alternative app I'd love to hear it.

I don't have any direct experiences with kanban, but I ditched nc because I found that no-one used the web UI and it was just a complex file, calendar and contact sync. Replacing nc with syncthing and radicale made no impact to the users and saved me a whole heap of misery upgrading and maintaining nc. If those can support your kanban needs, then.. just sayin'...

Feb 2034: grammer correction: there are no humans.

Yeah, Ubuntu 9.x here too... becuase I could use it to install MythTV

(BTW)

Er. Am I the only one to comment that this is a refreshing change to all the displays in shops, airports, etc that show the many ways that Windows errors and BSODs?

Linux on the desktop? Hell no, it's on 80' billboards.

(It's not Arch btw)

IMO, I'd run pf/opnsense on an x86 box, but openwrt on a low powered device...

Did that years ago with a pfSense firewall connected to the DSL modem, with OpenWrt APs around the house...until the hardware couldn't support the next version of OpenWrt... (not enough RAM?)

I tried to use rEFInd years ago on my first UEFI machine, gave up and ended with GRUB... maybe it was just a crap setup and I need to try again...

But, how about backing up just the boot sectors / EFI partition with a dd command and then just restoring it again? Not a slick solution, I agree

TBH, if a distro doesn't give me options during install then I'd probably stop there as every update to GRUB could be automatically installed and blat your machine again.

I came here to +1 Mint

I've installed it on 3 laptops for different family groups and had 0 problems with either the laptops or the family using them

To clarify that - with Ubuntu the UI was just a tiny step too different (than Win XP) for them to feel comfortable using... with Mint, no problems.

The laptops vary, but 1 is ~12 yr old, another is new (well, 3 yr old now), but Mint was installed to dual-boot Win 10 when new.

I use Arch btw

Best way: strip the whole thing down to 1 stick of RAM and do a memtest and then work back up.

Don't rule out a dodgy PSU with a floating power rail, so the first few RAM tests are also testing if the PSU is dying.

Another way of reducing your overall power consumption: Do you need a NAS to be on 24/7?

My NAS is a NAS - just storage. It comes on and spins the 5x HDDs for a few hours in the day then shuts down. It's a NAS, I don't need to access my files at night when I'm asleep.

My VM host is a low power box with passive cooling which uses a SSD and runs my (mostly idle) VMs 24/7 for a few Watts.

So, maybe splitting up your requirements might save some power?

+1 for Logseq

Yeah, I can understand RAM use in htop, but not in top

Also, the Tree View makes it easy to see which part of

<insert name of application>

Just stumbled across this video which might be of interest to you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85d-HcCZURU

My install is on Arch linux, I just installed incus and cockpit-machines and (from memory) that was enough.

But, yeah, it's definitely a step away from a full GUI...

But I think that's part of the appeal (to me)... there's a lot of things preinstalled with Proxmox, (and XCP-ng, etc), that I'll just never use... so if I could get that old Ras Pi3 as a 2nd node in the cluster without all the fluff... maybe that's a good thing?
