  • The bulb (with aluminium heatsink) is 11×40×23 cm overall and 200W (1165cd/cm²), with monitoring and sync options.

    Bcs it’s a neat design:

    But perhaps to note - bulbs like that are only if you want to keep those giant rotating fresnel lenses (and even with that those LEDs on that bulb still need a lens on their own).

    The simpler solution is to use one of the new designs, without the old lenses or even without the whole old lighthouse structure, eg:







  • I know how this sounds, but (rolling) openSUSE.

    I have my parents and granparents on Tumbleweed, but I update it manually when I visit.

    I set them with a big macos style dock at the bottom of the screen and that’s all they need tbh (Firefox, Kmail, Office, Signal, photo gallery … that’s it).
    Never had any issues, but can’t complain much about Debian & Fedora either (I had them on Debian for like a decade, less than a year on Fedora, I think now 4 years on Tumbleweed), it’s just that it was a pain for me to upgrade them when the time came, so I wanted a rolling distro.

    However, if I ever have to set them up with a new PC (instead of constantly upgrading their rigs with old parts from my PCs), I’ll try opensuse.org/Aeon. Seems low maintenance & low extra config for my usecase.

    Photons at their core don’t rally experience time because they are traveling like lighing fast.

    Also they prob bounce around the sun (trapped by magnetic fields) for longer than they travel to Earth.

    Also 2, sometimes starlight hits my eyes. Those poor very well traveled photons. Some might be even a bit red, but I doubt I’ve actually detected those.


  • Most people don’t install anything beyond office tools (and even those are switching to various cloud systems).

    Also, I know it is was a thing, but I never had driver issues (ok, one wifi card in like 2005), I think drivers aren’t really an issue anymore, maybe some proprietary stuff (fingerprint readers?).
    (As a funny side note, I have a wired laptop I can’t get good Win drivers, but works perfectly out of the box with at least a few distros (openSUSE, Fedora, Debian).)

    I manage 3 computers for my family, all run Linux for 10+ years. And I upgrade them frequently (with my old components most of the time :)). As I don’t live with any of them I don’t really want issues that would prevent their use. And beyond some bigger updates (versions or largely change from X11 to Wayland) over the years there is like an issue every few years. And now they all run Tumbleweed, so so no versions (set to upade monthly for their convenience).

    Oh, and the og reason for Linux was because there were always constant issues with Windows. Im not gonna install XPs every few months.
