I have a similar usage pattern where there might be days at a time where I don't boot up my personal laptop. With an 11th Gen and Fedora I set it up with a swap partition and force it to hibernate after 30 minutes. So far it's worked well.

It can take 10-20 seconds to boot up but battery drain while not is use has dropped to maybe 2% for any extended periods of non-use. As an 11th gen user, it exacerbates the CMOS problem I mentioned earlier but that hopefully shouldn't be an issue with the 12th gen mainboards.

This is a guide I've seen recommended: https://community.frame.work/t/guide-fedora-36-hibernation-w...

Hope that helps.

I have the DIY FW13 Intel 11th Gen with Fedora. I've had an overall positive experience and have enjoyed tinkering with it.

My only negative with it has been the issue specific to 11th gens where the CMOS drains and eventually dies if the laptop is left unplugged for days-to-weeks at a time.

On the whole Framework handled the issue well, there was no permanent fix without soldering or replacing the board. The company was upfront, provided support, a replacement battery, and even published a how-to on modifying the mainboard after the fact. With a start-up I was expecting some bugs. This one was irritating but not a deal breaker. I think how they handled the problem and how they've proven their commitment to upgradeability through the 12th, 13th, and Ryzen boards speaks well of the company.

While I am extremely keen on the AMD versions that have rolled out recently, I can't justify the purchase when my current FW13 still works well enough.

The FW16 probably isn't for me but I hope it's successful. I really want to see the docking station that can double as an eGPU using the FW16 discrete GPU module. There was a prototype mentioned in passing about a year ago but it's been radio silence since then. I hope the success of Framework laptops and the growing market for gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck makes the modular eGPU concept a little more reasonable. It's still incredibly niche but one can dream.

I've had my framework laptop for about six months and I'm not really a linux adept (I basically just read online guides and bash on my keyboard until the problem fixes itself). But honestly, I genuinely enjoy using the framework laptop with Fedora.

The battery life during light(7w)-moderate(12w) usage is approximately 5 hours.

Stand-by was the real issue in my opinion (it would drain 1-2%/hour). I got around this issue by setting up a swap partition and forcing hibernation after 30 minutes of sleep standby.

Apparently there are some new tweaks that were added to improve standby, but I am happy with where I am and don't want to change anything, so I can't speak to their efficacy.

Two defunct website games from 20 years ago come to mind.

- Archmage

- Archspace

I think back on those games fondly and haven't found anything that scratched the same itch.

You'll still have a battery drain issue for Fedora 35 (1-2%/hour while in suspend). Like some other commenters, I went through the extra hassle to set up a swap partition and sleep-then-hibernate. I genuinely enjoy the laptop now that I've resolved the standby battery drain.

Almost but not quite.

I listen to one of two audiobooks. They are books I've read half a dozen times, so it's more about comfort and consistency. There's the added bonus that I don't have any worry about missing anything if I forget to set a sleep timer. I prune my normal podcast feed regularly so the only podcasts I have are ones I don't want to miss any details

1. "Dune" and "Sandman" are the two I listen to the most, both are really well produced ensemble casts. For actual podcasts (not used for sleep), I enjoy The Intelligence from the Economist, Writing Excuses, Hardcore History, 20,000 Hz, 99% Invisible, and all the ubiquitous NPR Podcasts that focus on storytelling. I would say all but the first two podcasts mentioned might be good podcasts to relax to.

2. For normal podcasts I use PocketCasts, for audiobooks I just default to audible or Libby (Libby/Overdrive have increased my library usage 10-fold). If I have to worry about waking someone else up, I just use a single bluetooth earbud on the side I don't sleep on- otherwise my phone just plays from it's charging dock.

Does anyone know of a site that connects recipes by correlated ingredients?

Example: If you made recipe X, you should try recipe Y which uses 75% of those same ingredients, or recipe Z which has 80% of the ingredients in common. That way you can buy those core ingredients in bulk but still have something new and fresh for dinner.

The meal-prep dream for me is 10-15 recipes that taste good, are as distinct as possible, but have the majority of their ingredients in common.

To butcher a phrase, spice needs to be the variety of life in this scenario.

Wow. Thank you for posting this. It looks like a fantastic resource

Not quite the same, but for a book that shows the power of weaponized empathy, Richard Morgan's "Altered Carbon" (the book version specifically) has the envoys as empathic super-soldiers.

When you can easily move a consciousness into different bodies, the most dangerous opponents are those that can empathize with their enemy to such a degree that they can pass as one of them seamlessly and unconsciously predict their motives and reactions.

But I can't think of a single messaging application google has created that doesn't require a google account to use.

All of my dating is YYYYMMDD or YYYYMM. Anything that comes before the '.' (e.g. 41.Eberron Campaign) is a two digit code to describe the file, the first digit = type of document and the second digit = personal priority.

It's probably convoluted from the outside looking in, but it works for me.

00.INFO - Notes, references, some original sources

10.TASKS - Any work I do for a specific person that can be completed in a week

20.PROJECTS - Multiple related tasks or tasks that have transmogrified into a full-blown project

30.MEDIA - Says what it does on the tin

40.ORGANIZATIONS - Different groups I've joined

  X0.CORE - Private or important to me alone
  X1.PRIMARY - Important to me and I'm responsible for it
  X2.SECONDARY - I am responsible for some of the work but it's not important to me
  X3.GENERAL - Everything else that I still need to be aware of
  X9.ARCHIVE - Everything that I'm to afraid to delete even though it's irrelevant

So a folder/file might look like:

00.INFO/00.2019 JOURNAL/

00.INFO/00.2020 JOURNAL/

10.TASKS/11.2020 PRIMARY TASKS/20200603 JS 401(k) Rate Report.xlsx

20.PROJECTS/21.2020 PRIMARY PROJECTS/202006 FY 2020 401(k) NDT/

40.GROUPS/41.Eberron Campaign/20200531 Campaign Notes.md

I probably overthought it but it makes finding things pretty straightforward.
