You can, however, install a browser in the Linux container (I picked Vivaldi, but I bet any installable browser would work) that will use the #tailscale network of the container.

Charles Hawley @chawl3y.bsky.social · Sep 27

You can install #tailscale on a Chromebook in the Linux container and as an Android app. But be careful running them together. I've experienced random restarts when both are running. I haven't dug into the specifics, but it seems obvious that it would cause problems.

The Verge has gone paywall! Too bad, it was one of my frequently visited sites from my RSS reader.

Charles Hawley @chawl3y.bsky.social · May 29

It's even in the funny pages!

Ironically, studies also show that the more a person trusts common sense, the more likely they are to be wrong.

A disk issue was escalated to me recently. "Unable to unmount volume". It took me visiting the users desk to see them repeatedly typing "sudo unmount /dev/sdc1"
User was pissed. I was unable to explain why that command is so unintuitive.

MS open-sources VS Code only weeks after I switched back to Vim full time. Coincidence? Absolutely.

We will open source the GitHub Copilot Chat extension. It’s the next step towards making VS Code an open source AI editor.

Tell me your method for managing plain-text tasks/todos with Vim without using *another* plugin.

Charles Hawley @chawl3y.bsky.social · May 20

New Linux users - the command is umount, not unmount. Why? Because fuck you, that's why.

Syncthing-fork 1.29.6.1 (Fdroid) updated and broke sync on my Pixel 7 Pro. I had upgraded from the old Syncthing recently, and it was still using my existing folders. To fix this issue I had to remove the folder from ST-F and re-share to the phone from a shared node. Anyone else have this issue?

I'm getting ready to just install Ubuntu server on a laptop and go back to the command-line for everything. Vim, mutt and elinks is all I need.
