Doing some much needed and overdue, low level maintenance on my websites.
Tag: Linux
Workstation
Finished setting up my new @system76 Leopard system. Easy to install my own hardware, gorgeous, and a rocket even with a modest load out. Whisper quiet too, important for podcast recording.
Hours
Before installing cpufreqd and laptop-mode-tools, struggled to get thru 1hr meeting. powertop now shows 2.5+ hrs on battery.
Power Saving
Frustrated by poor battery life, recently spent some time optimizing my lappie–laptop-mode-tools FTW.
Hibernation
I love my @system76 laptop but running KDE, I still have all kinds of woes with video crapping out when suspending then resuming.
Bleeding Edge
I love my new @System76, but irked at quirks of latest Nvidia hardware + KDE’s kompositor. Hoping 16.10 improve things.
Finally
Not sure why it took so long to install Linux on $employer provided Mac. Had enough this AM.

OS X Frustration
So tired of OS X’s command line tools being slightly off so that a standard recipe on any other *nix fails for no good reason.
