  • I’m an electrician, and cordless tools are ten times easier to manage on a jobsite. There are also plenty of times like where I’m doing a service panel upgrade, corded tools aren’t even an option when there’s no site power, and I’m not lugging a generator around.

    At the end of the day, cordless tools just make the entire day easier. The battery situation is annoying, but I’ll gladly pay the price for the convenience, especially when time and efficiency gets me paid quicker and home sooner. All those little efficiencies add up over the course of a day.





  • I got a X1 carbon gen 10 last year, and despite all the Lenovo hate, it’s been a great laptop running EndeavourOS. I opted for the 512gb as the price for the 2tb drive was ridiculous, so I bought a WD Black 2tb and swapped it myself. The bottom plate takes a few min to figure out, but it isn’t terrible.








  • If I’m reading your post right, you basically want a fully functional system that is console only (no GUI), right? So when you go to install, just simply skip installing the desktop environment/window manager.

    That, or you can set it up to where your system boots to the console, and you can activate the DE/WM if you want to (like startx for X11). Each environment is different, but I think it’s removing the line for starting the DE/WM from either systemctl or maybe a hook, I forget.


  • I blame the news for starting that “wOkE” shenanigans. The National Hurricane Center has been using the exact same naming convention since 1953, primarily to make tracking different storms easier. The names start with A at the beginning of the storms season, and ascend alphabetically, alternating gender. Additionally, even years start with a male name, odd years start with a female name. I highly doubt a bunch of scientists really give two shits about the naming convention when they’re really just trying to tell your dumb ass, “Hey, a storm’s coming.”

    Also, Beryl is an old school woman’s name. Get the net. The previous storm was named Alberto, the next one will be Chris. These lists are predetermined many years in advance.
