NixOS. My primary reason for switching was wanting a single list of programs that I had installed. After using ubuntu for 5 years I just lost track of all the tools and versions of software that I had installed...and that didnt even count my laptop. Now all my machines have a single list of applications, and they are all in sync.

I like butter+jelly and butter+peanut butter on my biscuits, but never both. I also like making sausage gravy with cream cheese instead of flour most of the time. Looks yummy anyway, even the eggs right on top ;)

The two top of the line tools for making backups are restic and borgbackup (in my opinion). They would allow you to easily compress and encrypt some local directories to another computer or cloud service. I personally use borgbackup with external backups at borgbase.com

I enjoy beyond all reason, which is the only flatpak I have in my config XD

It appears the original user changed their github username. The project now lives at https://github.com/in-a-dil-emma/declarative-flatpak

Very exciting! You're layout looks fine as is. As it grows it might change, but for what you have now its a great schema.

On themes: catppuccin has a dedicated flake for applying the catppuccin style to a lot of different terminal apps and gnome/kde I think. I prefer this over stylix, a general purpose themer, because I want explicit control over which color scheme is enabled on each app. Stylix is cool, but doesnt make it easy (or possible?) to apply different themes to different apps.

Declarative flatpak by ~~germanbread~~ in-a-dil-emma is a nice flake. Occassionally theres a flatpak I need that isnt already packaged. This takes care of that. https://github.com/in-a-dil-emma/declarative-flatpak

If you want to work with secrets, look into sops-nix. Vimjoyer on youtube has a great video on how to get it setup.

Love the dinner tray!

I tried and wanted to like a trackball. I tried a $100 logitch trackball mouse and it just felt really cheap, and the ball rattled in the socket. I have since gone with the mx master 3s, which isn't all that vertical, but its good build quality.

If anyone knows a good trackball to try let me know.

IMO I think most financial institutions can see or acquire a lot of transactional data, so I just pick one bank (who already knows everything I spend) have a credit card with them, and use it. My bank also allows making virtual cards, so I opt for it over privacy.com.

Love him. His lego island port has been a pleasure to watch.

I use borg the same way you describe. Part of my nixos config builds a systemd unit that starts a backup on various directories on my machine at midnight every day. I have 2 repos: one to store locally and on a cloud backup provider (borgbase) and another thats just stored locally. That is, another computer in my house. That local only is for all my home media. I havent yet put the large dataset of photos and videos on the cloud or offsite.

Really looking forward to this:

Making pro-quality text got easier, too. Style your text, apply outlines, shadows, bevels, and more, and you can still edit your text, change font and size, and even tweak the style settings.
