I should note that my scenario was exactly the same. I wanted to share location with family. Additionally, Traccar supports temporary location share links for friends if you'd like. You'll need to self-host it- I personally set up the Traccar server inside kubernetes and used Traefik for reverse proxy and SSL, but this is not necessary.

I started out with Owntracks. I found it to be unreasonably complex. I swapped to Traccar. It was much easier to get functional.

They no longer offer this, right?

NixOS docs themselves are a tad lax, but it will get better.

Learning nix itself is also important:

https://zero-to-nix.com/

Just this morning I was having issues with a wacky dual-boot install with NixOS and Windows sharing an EFI partition, and quite interestingly ChatGPT and I were able to troubleshoot the process and get it resolved in under half and hour. I was really impressed by the specific configurations it was giving me for my /etc/nixos/configuration.nix , so that is also another resource you may consider leaning on when you run into walls in other documentation sources.

I've probably parsed dozens of pages now, including the "Dual boot NixOS and Windows" page on nixos.wiki, and not really sure what the best steps are since most seem to leverage the fact that everything is on a single partition. My windows lives on a physically separate drive than NixOS, so osprober does not detect the windows partition at all. I tried to go down the route of grub-mkconfig but that doesn't seem to be a nix package and I couldn't mount my Windows bootloader as it is NTFS. Is this even possible with this configuration?

My next step was going to be to physically disconnect each of my disks/NVME, nuke everything bit by bit, then only connect the disks I want and install each OS with it's specific disk connected.

Sourced from Beekeeb, using vanilla Miryoku for keymap, totally wireless with ZMK + MIP displays. Using MBK blanks and Choc Robins, with Netdot Gen 10 magnetic connectors for charging.

Compared to the Piantor, the innermost thumb buttons are a bit more offset but all thumbs seem to be closer which I prefer. Solid layout, may be my favorite.

I'm required to use CentOS for work and it would be an understatement to say how frustrating it is to use for me. So many packages are missing / old, and some packages just break. There have also been wild bugs which just kernel panic the whole OS. I'd steer clear.

If you're on Kinoite, can't you just enable Plasma 6 if you really need it?

Is syncthing falling out of favor these days?

GPL is the only good license out there. MIT just leaves too many opportunities for abuse because corporations won't ever do what is in the best interest of humanity.

Posting this here for sake of search engines and if others are losing their mind trying to troubleshoot.

Problem: I have a USB-C Piantor, connected through a USB/thunderbolt port on a Dell XPS 13. My OS is Arch Linux, and it when plugging the keyboard in, the Piantor would show up on lsusb but not do anything. dmesg shows the following error:

device descriptor read/64, error -71.

Solution: Disable USB suspend in a root terminal:

# echo -1 >/sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend

There are many other considerations besides startup speed, no? Filesystem reliability is a big one, and all the scrubbing and defragging features of btrfs are pretty neat

I had a Tesla try and take a left turn into me, honking the whole time, as I was headed straight (I had a green + crosswalk sign on) through an intersection. I was inconveniencing them with my existence.

Signal is not designed for anonymous communication. This is fine. Some of us like having a messaging platform that is E2EE because we don't have to trust the midpoints. I get to chat with my family in a convenient manner while not worrying about the telecom company doing things like logging SMS contents. Different tools for different jobs.

IMO Graphene is the only true option in this list, with Copperhead being aggressively sus given the history
