Just nailed down my Octopi setup today after abandoning Nova and so far enjoying it. A handful of things feel unintuitive, but some of it may be habits from a decade plus using Nova. The reachable drawer, where you can have it at first only open about halfway, is awesome. The worst part has been the lack of comprehensive search (apps, files, web, all in one). Installed Sesame to cover that and it's been fine.

Just had a baby. Had the privilege of using 5 days of PTO for my parental leave. Partner gets like 4 months, thankfully.

Damn he is so desperate to get people talking about anything but the Epstein files.

The one thing I REALLY enjoy about the start menu kind of doubling as a Bing search is I can type in unit conversions and it'll do them then and there without busting out a calc or opening a web browser. All other cases are like this where it's annoying nonsense.

There now, wishing I wasn't.

I use Librewolf on my work and personal desktops, then Waterfox on my Android. I prefer Waterfox, but I find the logo so lame looking I settle for Librewolf. The OOTB settings for LW are super strict and a slog to deal with unless disabled. WF feels like using FF in just about every way.

One possible pro of working a labor job that I found is that you can pretty easily zone out for long stretches of time and think through complex things you're doing outside of work. Depends on your interests and hobbies at home if you're able to take advantage of it. Worked a boring factory job for a few years and would spend entire days daydreaming about whatever piece of media I was consuming at the time or prepping DnD in my head.

Seems like this might help with library management / metadata handling. Can anyone here vouch for it? Using jellyfin for my music library at the moment and I have found it's music management to be lackluster. Tracks with features showing up as distinct artists seems to be it's latest hurdle.

started switching and testing options last week. Librewolf's default are awful, but undoing that has been better than having to look at the ugly Waterfox logo, in my opinion. If the logo is a non issue for you, WF had better default settings. I'm overly particular

I am a registered architect. As an active contributor to one of the most damaging industries to our climate (construction & building systems), I often daydream about pivoting careers into something more productive for the planet. I'm not talking about stuff like green washing or ~LEED accreditation~. Even sustainably-focused jobs are hard to come by and usually pretty regionally specific. Architects have a broad set of skills, and it's not always clear where I can take those skills and put them to better use.

Any thoughts/insight would be appreciated as I hop into my mid-life crisis before 30.
