Today is the funeral of my loving father. It’s two weeks, since he passed away on January 6 and it feels wrong every single day, to wake up in a world without him. I miss you dad ❤️🕯️

My phone (Sony Ericsson w810i) today got a new aftermarket battery. Even after 15 years, it’s still working perfectly fine. Doing phone calls even is more comfortable than with most modern phones, due to the form factor. Battery life with a fresh battery is roughly 10-13 days, depending on usage. Just the 2mp camera lacks by modern standards and is basically unusable.

I have a Lenovo T14s as my personal laptop, running Fedora Linux on it. I’ve never heard the fans, unless compiling larger chunks of software or when stressing the device with complex tasks like gaming.

Now I’ve got the same device model from one of my customers, but it’s running Windows 11. The fan is spinning all the time and constantly switching between annoyingly loud and insanely loud. Even when the system is just idling with just a chat application and one browser window open.

How can an operating system be such a resource hog and why thefuq is this so widely used?! My power meter socket shows almost triple the average draw that my personal device with Linux is consuming.

Tonight, I’ll probably dream about those constant fan noises brrrrrr :facepalm:

PLaying a bit of SimCity 3000 under Fedora Linux 41 with Lutris, UMU and proton-ge 9 :-) Runs absolutely flawlessly (Game purchased DRM free on gog.com)

Speedtest from my Lenovo T14s Gen4 with the integrated Intel XMM7560 LTE modem under Linux on the AldiTalk/O2 network.

Pretty impressive speed. That is actually very much usable 🙂

Wahlumfrage 13.01.2025 (INSA):

CDU/CSU: 31%

SPD: 15%

Grüne: 13%

FDP: 4%

Die Linke: 3%

[#]fckafd: 21%

BSW/Putin: 6,5%

Sonstige: 5%

Puh 😨 Knackige 56% Konservativ bis Rechtsextrem. Das macht alles wenig Hoffnung für die nächsten Jahre.

Diese Zahlen bedeuten: Law&Order Politik, Soziale Kälte auf dem Rücken der schwachen, Abbau des Sozialstaats, Schwächung der Arbeitnehmerrechte, Neo-Kapitalismus, Überwachungsstaat, Klimakatastrophe, Niedergang.

Und wieso zum Geier ist diese NSDAP Nachfolgepartei eigentlich immer noch nicht verboten?!

@CptCheesyCrust ich bin mal gespannt, wie mein Abenteuer mit den Pfalzwerken jetzt weiter geht. Nach deinen Posts über deren Kompetenz, habe ich mich bereits auf das schlimmste eingestellt 🤣

😳

Ich wollte den Zählerstand für Strom wissen für einen Wechsel des Anbieters und habe meine Hausverwaltung angeschrieben. Die Zähler sind hier im Nachbarhaus im Keller, wo ich selbst nicht rein komme.

Stellt sich raus, der Zähler meiner Wohnung (eingebaut 02/2023 durch Pfalzwerke) ist defekt. Das LC-Display zeigt nichts an und sämtliche Tasten am Gerät haben keine Funktion. Hmpf!

Da werde ich dann Montag mal die Pfalzwerke Netz anrufen und schauen, was die sagen. Ich bin ja gespannt, wie die unseren Verbrauch für 2024 jetzt berechnen wollen. Vermutlich läuft das ja dann auf eine Schätzung raus. Hat jemand Erfahrungen mit so einem Fall? (Vor allem, was sage ich jetzt meinen neuen Anbieter?!)

Es gibt Dinge, die niemals einfach sind.

Heute hat mein Papa seinen 82. Geburtstag. Seinen letzten, denn er wird aktuell von meiner Mama Palliativ gepflegt und es geht nicht mehr lange. Ansprechbar ist er kaum noch und schläft die meiste Zeit.

Ich werde jetzt heute die Reise in meine alte Heimat antreten und ihn zu seinem Geburtstag besuchen. Es fällt mir gerade wahrlich nicht leicht, mich mit der Realität auseinanderzusetzen und ich bin so froh, dass ich meine Frau an meiner Seite habe, die mir ein bisschen ihrer Stärke leiht und für mich da ist.

Es wird etwas ruhiger auf dem Account und auch in den kommenden Wochen wird hier wenn überhaupt nur auf Sparflamme gepostet.

I got a key for the game "Ori and the Blind Forest" (https://store.steampowered.com/app/261570/Ori_and_the_Blind_Forest/) from the current Humble Bundle. I already own that game on Steam.

Does someone want to have that game for free? It's a really good platformer with stunning visuals.

I'd gift the key to the first person, who replies to this post with "I want to play it".

The game runs wonderfully under Linux with Proton (and on the SteamDeck).

There's an awesome monitoring application for everyone, who's using an AMD GPU under Linux:

amdgpu_top (https://github.com/Umio-Yasuno/amdgpu_top)

You can watch all kinds of real time data from the GPU. Including which processes are utilizing the CPU, clocks, temperatures, power usage, memory utilization and more.

Small review of using the T14s Gen4 AMD laptop as my new daily driver for 7 days:

All of the hardware does work out of the box under Linux. Including the WWAN 4/5G Modem, Wi-Fi, Smartcard reader, display brightness control, fan control, USB4 docking, Hibernation and resume, GPU accelerated Video decoding and encoding.

I'm like 95% satisfied with the device. The only downsides are the battery life (the 2.8K OLED display is quite power hungry) and the keyboard, which barely has key travel and is definately a downgrade from my ThinkPad T480.

Other than that, the device just rocks and is super fast and responsive. The AMD Radeon 780m integrated GPU is impressive and can handle medium gaming super well, even in a device of that light form-factor.
