...or just live without live traffic information and get the other info from business websites
traffic info is a nice-to-have, sure, but I've used just OSMand+ for years and it's never really been an issue.
adresilo is a good way to get access to Google place data anonymously, if you feel like you need it. I used it a lot at first when it was a novelty, and now I use it about ~10 times per year.
you mean Vela Maps? I can't find Vera Maps anywhere.
If you meant Vela, it's a month old, and it's CLAUDE.md file contains instructions to obscure how LLMs were actually used in the generation of the code for the project. I'll pass.
I don't know about "most". It hasn't been an option on any of the consumer motherboards I've used in my homelab.
yes, it's a zip-tie-and-duck-tape watchdog that cost me $5
I just wrote a comment about a very similar setup! Glad I wasn't the only one haha
I used to have a Ryzen 2700X based system as a server. At the time (no clue if it's still an issue), there was a bug in the interaction between early Ryzen chips and Linux that caused the OS to lock up intermittently. I used a ATmega32u4 board to connect to the reset switch on the PC and as a USB device with a systemd unit that sends a ping to the board every 30 seconds. If the board doesn't see a ping for a minute, it reboots the PC. It was janky as hell, but it worked for 2+ years!
I have one with the RK3588 (32GB RAM version), and while it is CERTAINLY not competitive on price/performance, it's been entirely serviceable for the last year, and I really enjoy it. The trackball is a bit annoying, but not game breaking. I think I found where the issue lies in their firmware, but haven't had the time or energy to try to fix it. For some reason the polling rate on the trackball movement during scrolling is low enough that it doesn't register if you move really slowly or only move a little bit, which ends up feeling a bit clunky, but it's still better than most mice. The boot process takes ~10 seconds for me, but I'm loading NixOS with /boot on an SD card and I have LUKS encryption on my SSD.
neovim at home, Zed with vim bindings at work because I'm stuck with a locked-down Windows machine.
I haven't checked on KDE Bigscreen or Waydroid TV in a few months. Have you tested them? I tried both after the big Bigscreen update last year and it wasn't ready yet. As soon as it's ready, I'm taking the motherboard out of my framework laptop and replacing my Shield with it.
I think there are 3 reasonable options (that I'm pursuing currently):
I've tried a few different models of phone. I'm currently running mobile nixos on a OnePlus 6, but waiting on Plasma Mobile to be fully functional. When I last played with it a couple months ago, the virtual keyboard was broken. Nothing else I've tried has had all features on the phone work.
I am trying to set up an MNT Pocket Reform as a phone replacement. The hardware is almost there. The software and firmware have a bit of a ways to go, but it has promise for a subset of people.
There are some phones that are set up with PostmarketOS or other mobile Linux distributions from the manufacturer, but they right now tend to be really pricey, under-performing, and don't really have upstream support. The Mecha Comet seems to be another interesting option. I've pre-ordered one and I'm excited to see what it's capable of.
The thing that kept me using Google Keep for a long time, and that there still is no good replacement for, was live collaborative notes editor with a mobile UI and a repository of owned/shared notes.
EDIT: I would love whoever downvoted to post a tool that can do that. I really want to be wrong here.
That's a separate kind of tool.
