That way I don't have to remember to commit+push+pull changes to existing dotfiles (like bashrc or vimrc which I edit often) to sync them to other machines, it happens automatically in almost real time as soon as the file is saved on one of my machines (syncthing uses inotify to detect changes on monitored directories)

Another benefit is block-level backups of the VMs (either with qcow2 disks files or ZFS block storage, which both support snapshots and easy incremental backups of changed block data only)

Proxmox is great for this, although maybe not on a laptop unless you're ready to do a lot of tweaks for sleep, etc.

Worth a read for the devops guys around here!

  - about 20TB per day, around 100PB expected for the whole survey
  - 0.5PB ceph cluster for local data
  - workloads on 20 nodes kubernetes cluster/argocd
  - physical infra managed with puppet/ansible
  - 100Gbs(+40Gs backup) fiber connection to US-based datacenter for further processing

At least with keepassDX on android there is no internet access permission needed by default, but if a compromised update suddenly required it I don't know if Android would prompt about it since all apps have internet access granted without prompting :(

I also wish it was possible to block automatic updates of specific apps on the play store... So at least we could be in control over updating critical apps such as these without having to micromanage updates for all apps.

I just wish there was a kubernetes operator to easily set up mesh sidecars like with tailscale and it would be perfect!

I don't think there are any other scripting languages that allow you to write very concise one-liners that can do very complex things. That's also where perl got its bad reputation from, but it's more a discipline issue than a language problem. I always rewrote my explorative one-liners more cleanly when I committed them to a final program, but nothing forces you to do it like python does.

You can build a valid git repo with simple unix shell commands, and that really helped me to understand the magic behind the git commands:

https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Internals-Git-Objects

    foo+anything  => redirected to foo
    foo.something => redirected to foosomething (so . is not the same as +)

I configured postfix with:

    recipient_delimiter = .

So for linux (e.g. fedora):

  dnf install ddcutil
  ddcutil capabilities -d 1 # show the available commands
  ddcutil setvcp 60 0x11    # for example switch to HDMI 1
  # assign a global shortcut key to the `ddcutil setvcp` command you need

  - download the "Dell Display Manager" software from their support site
  - assign a shortcut key in the Dell Display Manager: "Input Manager" tab => "Favourite Input Shortcut Key"
