Setup Fedora woth Btrfs, Snapper and grub-btrfs

I followed this guide to setup snapper on fedora, not too much work involved.

I did initially try their guide on the above plus LUKS encryption but something was amiss in the boot process and I gave up on that rodeo for now.

That was a really good read, thanks for the link!

I've just spent the last week with Gadgetbridge for my Forerunner 265.

Previously I had Garmin Connect installed on a separate Android user profile with Google Play Services enabled (GrapheneOS). I would only go in there once a week or so and look at the Garmin info as it synced over.

Gadgetbridge is working pretty well - the great majority of everything I actually cared about viewing is accessible. I also have an always on BT connection for notifications and music controls which I was missing out on before.

That said, there are a few drawbacks

• Garmin presents the date better.

Gadgetbridge often uses bar charts for time-series data where Garmin uses a line chart. e.g. Stress is a series of 1px thin vertical lines with colour to indicate bands. Garmin's single line which swaps colour is far clearer.

• GPS data is not overlaid on a map

Its easy enough to open the GPX file in an external map viewer, but you can't see its alongside heart rate etc and the track won't be heatmapped for speed as in Garmin.

Personally, I'm willing to live with these compromises for the privacy, certainly for another few months trial.

As it seems easy to setup a regular export of Gadgetbridge data, I might make it a coding project to implement better visualisations in Python.

Cheers, always good to be aware of these concepts even if Pythons is far from 'blazingly fast'

Ah, woops, I see this is 5th edition, mistook the thumbnail for the much earlier 3rd Ed version

Codex Compliant - DE 3rd Ed

I must have read this thing cover to cover a dozen times when I was a youngster over at my uncle's house. Absolutely nailed the atmosphere of the depraved dregs of the original Eldar hedonists.

10 years in electronics, and I'm yet to hear solder once despite working for an international firm.

I saw this recommended elsewhere on Lemmyna few days ago and have given it a shot after a month or two trying AnySoftKeyboard - its great.

It may not be as obviously feature laden with additional keyboards etc as ASK but it has much better defaults - all of the extra punctuation is where my fingers just expect it to be after a long time on SwiftKey.

ooh, this is great, lets hope there's some adoption.

Im quite happy with just a few additions to basic markdown, however I've been holding off using canvases much because they're not portable, should Obsidian turn to the dark side so perhaps im missing out.

Any recommended usecases for canvases over notes?

Sounds like the book would be a great resource.

I've hopped out of electronics and now make a living coding in an adjacent area, but find myself working with colleagues that are happy approaching all tasks like a script.

Code reviews, coupling etc arent part of their vocab so in lieu of peer role models im on the look out for good resources thst aren't just chasing the next buzzword.

I started trying to use Joplin and couldnt get over it using a database rather than raw .md files. Once I'd added a bevy of plugins the UI really didnt seem to be handling thinhgs well.

I considered VS Code ± Foam and found myself doing a lot of the work baked into Hopping/Obsidian myself, and could see coming a less rich plugin ecosystem once I was done.

Quite happily using Obsidian now and managing my files myself. Glad I can just get on with de-OneNoting now.

Seeing privacy & security taken seriously offsets the lack of OSS for me.

I really enjoyed the couple games I've had of the newer edition. The small changes they made felt quite impactful and that bit more dynamic than the original, though it's been long enough I don't recall the details.
