About a mouth ago the wrecked my #2404 desktop. I was playing using wine and it crashed and hard. I could not use my desktop because xcb was missing or broken. My system recovered and I moved to the of wine. 🤷‍♂️ fails sometimes but I do prefer because of a few hard flatpak fails.

I have successfully mitigated our home media server to from . I am using the itrue and it is working great. I first tried the version but, it did not have the option to restart the sever in the GUI and on day two it just started eating CPU. just work.

Another reason to loathe Snap packages: the snapd process is putting a LOAD on the system when it does whatever it does sometimes (updates maybe?). CPU spiked, fans blasting like a jet engine. I swear to god whatever it's doing it shouldn't be resulting in such damn stress on the system.
I've had it. I'm uninstalling the very few Snaps I have and the whole Snap package system.

I like they work, and they get out of the way. are fine as well, I install them if that is an option over an install. But, does have its annoyances like when I open , and it tells me there is an update but nothing in . Or, when there is a flat in Discover, but it does not update. Also, stopped launching, so switched that to snap. Just my experiences and preferences.

@zahnfee @wandaO @linuxmint Linux Mint ist auch eine gute Wahl, wenn man wie ich von MacOS kommt. #Ubuntu mit GNOME mag zwar deutlich ähnlicher aussehen, aber #Snaps kÜnnen fßr Anfänger schon eine Hßrde sein, weil z.B. #Firefox Plugins nicht wie gewohnt funktionieren. Egal, welche Linux man im Endeffekt nimmt: man muss sich immer irgendwo umgewÜhnen. Die Apps kann man ja oft schon unter dem alten BS ausprobieren. Das sollte man tun, dann ist die UmgewÜhnung einfacher.

Last week we went to Gibraltar for the weekend and a few days into the middle of the week

Knowing it was going to be rainy every day I didn’t bother taking my ‘good’ camera gear and only took my Fujifilm XP120 tough waterproof pocket camera, which is what I use on my morning cycle rides if the weather is wet, as I wouldn’t like to keep taking my iPhone 15 Pro Max out to get wet (it can handle it, yes, but I don’t like to get it wet unnecessarily and I risk dropping it more, and I can’t press the button with wet hands so easily and also I have to take gloves off first – on a wet day the XP120 wins in every way)

It turns out that this camera, the XP120 is probably all anyone needs for a holiday, the zoom is about the ideal range, the stab is good, the colour choices are good (standard, ‘chrome’ (which is what I leave it on) and a very good monochrome) and it doesn’t change size at all, it just gets on with it, take it out of the pocket, put it back in

The only main downside is that the geotagging is done by having to use the app on the phone to send location, which involves a performance on the camera as well, so you’re holding them both at once to make it happen, sometimes it happens, sometimes you have to swear a lot at it until the fucking app or camera decides to do the fucking simple job it was supposed to do, update the location – then once you’ve done that and walked away it still thinks you’re where you were last time you updated the location, which is disappointing but I don’t care

Overall, I’m increasingly of the opinion that we photographers are prone to overspecifying the gear we take when we go on holiday, and I’m going to attempt to just take something like this (and my iPhone) only, in future

Probably
