I'm pretty pessimistic about it. Corporations only have one goal and that is to make as much money as they can. If they can replace people with robots or algorithms they will. Take self check out for example. The trick is gonna be finding a job that fits in the new economy. Like everything in tech though it's way over hyped, just like they whole block chain thing. I remember companies putting block chain in there name and getting a big stock price bump, now guess what every company has AI and the end of there name.

There is a cycle to it all, we are in the crazy excited part now. Someone gave a name to this cycle just can't remember off the top of my head.

my pixel 7 with grapheneOS let's me use a hotspot and USB tether. the USB teathering is way faster I've found. I don't pay for teathering and I quit getting my phones through the carrier just because they lock them down and put a bunch of crapware/Spyware on them. You remove it and it magically reappears, they get paid to put these dumb apps on the phone. Just feels like when you buy the phone through the carrier you don't own it.

 

anybody setup and use garagefs (https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/) cluster from your house? It looks pretty instresting. I have been debating on setting up s3 compatible storage for sometime and using something like s3drive app https://s3drive.app/ for file syncing, also have buckets for backups and what not. I have seen a few people use minio for this but garagefs looks to be a little simpler. now and days I try to go simple where I can as my time is limitted to fiddle with things when they brake.

What have been your experience with it? is it worth it?

I am gonna try and get a small setup going to play around with it and test it out for a bit and to see whats up before commiting to a multi Tb deployment.

I had the same thought, I though maybe I was missing some dracut modules because I had switched to dracut from mkinitcpio. I have to stop doing more than one thing at a time because I updated my kernel while switching to dracut , so it sent me on a wild goose chase. Then I started thinking the keyboard was broke, bummed me out until I found that bug report.

 

Just a PSA I ran into an issue with my Lenovo Slim Pro X (14ARH7) took me a while to figure it out. There is a regression in the 6.4.6 kernel that breaks the keyboard on many Lenovo laptops. Here is a link to the bug report

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217718

So either pin you kernel to 6.4.5 or use the the LTS kernel. I went the LTS kernel route until this is fixed.
