rought 15-ish years ago stack exchange did a survey of distros used in production and debian was the king back then; it would be interesting to see what it’s like now-a-days.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Lini Wants to Be the Portable Workstation Developers Actually CarryEnglish
1·4 hours agothat was the logic that most of them used and i get it a little bit if you’re on 20+ hour flight when laptop batteries lasted less than 2 hours back then, but the thought of writing code in one of these makes my hand hurt:

i supposed it wasn’t so bad for the python or ruby guys, but they were in the minority at the time. most were writing in java and that seems painful with all of the non-romantic characters that it requires wo an ide; atleast this lini device has full keyboard w curly braces.

2·22 hours agoit was my job back then to enable them as much as possible, so i looked for their perforce submits for follow up and every single one of them did.
most of them did it while on ultra long flights to korea/japan/singapore/tiawan/isreal from san francisco too… on a blackberry. 🤷♂️

Linux@lemmy.ml•Battery tray indicator that takes into account power consumption trends, rather than just instantaneous wattage?English
1·9 days agothis would be a useful troubleshooting step and, since you’re already using xfce, you should be able to easily and temporarily switch your display manger to switch to something like gnome to check.
if gnome shows battery correctly; then you know that it’s xfce and then you have you answer.

2·10 days agofinally got around to doing this and i’m not seeing it :(

i guess it must be a windows thing
in your shoes, i would try removing it as a source to make sure that’s the only problem and try accessing yourself using something curl to confirm that the problem is not on your side.
i used to collect mine too, but incidentally so as i encountered discarded towers in e-waste bins and my own failed hardware.
somewhere along the way; i stopped using towers and lost access to e-waste bins, so my personal inventory ran low enough to make resuscitating my home server for free an impossibility.
there’s something strange about knowing that it’s impossible to obtain a full sized tower for free in the present day; i suspect it’s indicative of the technological change that collectively stands before us.
