I ran rca jacks throughout the house. These are connected to a distribution amp. Then I have cheap PC speakers plugged into that from the main receiver. This is structured wiring so they can be changed to Ethernet if necessary.

Usually I listen to the news in the morning while showering.

Another way to do it is make dongles for unused phone jacks. Just make sure they aren’t plugged into the Telco as a landline.

See if there’s a way to disable power save for your audio driver module.

I had to do this for Intel for example

#/etc/modprobe.d/audio_disable_powersave.conf
 options snd_hda_intel power_save=0

I actually prefer generics. But because I’m a fat ass, I haven’t been keeping soda at the house.

Sendmail + Mimedefang + Spamassassin + Dovecot + Sieve

For calendar and contacts I’m using radicale.

Authentication is via ldap.

This solution admittedly requires a bit of experience and knowledge of how it all works. It blows the doors off most bundled or commercial things you’ll find though.

I host my own.

• For file save/send dialogs, just drag/drop from nemo/nautilus to the file dialog instead of using the annoying navigation in the file dialog itself.
• In cinnamon, use win-l,r,u,d to snap. In succession will go from full width/height to a corner. Reverse or drag the window to go back to original size. This gives you nice tiling with the flexibility of traditional window management as well.
• for a terminal ctl-alt-t
• alt-f2 to execute a command with history

Used to. Prefer Aquamail. I’m a thunderbird user on my workstation though. The latest changes were controversial, but it’s fine once you enable the system title bar and hide the menu bar.

Patents should simply be a monopoly on an idea for enough time to gather resources to develop that idea’s prototype. I know it doesn’t work that way, but it should. They really should be there for small inventors, not giant corps who have plenty of resources, but I digress.

But software itself can implement that prototype without having to build anything. Your ideas can be created directly. We don’t patent math and we don’t patent poetry or even poetic writing structures.

Software and business method patents are utter bullshit.

Fuck software patents and business method patents. Patent the machine. Copyright the instructions to tell the machine what to do if you must.

You’ll also need umask for each user to be 002 for it to work transparently.

Mint integrates flatpak seemlessly into its graphic package management and update tools.

I use Borg to my nas, then rclone that to rsync.net. With Borg if you need the remote copy, you can interact with it directly.

You can, of course, Borg directly to rsync.net. You can also use rsync instead and let their ZFS snapshots do retention for you.

I would back up data (ie /home, /var, /etc) with Borg. If things break, just do a fresh install and restore data.

If a server, run it as a proxmox guest and snapshot the image on a schedule.

There are also things you could maybe do with ZFS.

I recommend Linux mint cinnamon.

I prefer doing useful things with my workstation vs playing with the OS itself, so mint cinnamon is my recommendation. Servers are ansible-managed alma. Professionally I’m a Linux systems architect and devops engineer.

Custom per-folder themes in Nemo with drag/drop templating like os/2 had. Extend to all apps, actually.
