build my own CRM system with logseq

Can you elaborate on this some more? I’m familiar with logseq, but I’m genuinely curious on how you went about this.

The 300W XE3 PSU should offer plenty of overhead for a quality low-profile GPU and an i7-7700k (though you can’t overclock it). Mine also runs a Precision 3420 CPU cooler and has an additional intake fan up front.

I have one of those running as a node in my proxmox cluster. Great little machines. You can hotrod them with Precision and XE3 parts, too, including the XE3’s 300W PSU vs the factory 180W unit. Drops right in.

It, along with the rest of the cluster, plus my NAS, draws about 100W average.

Honestly?

Dockge

Set it up according to the dev’s recommendations (and Docker, of course), then you can configure pretty much any application that uses Docker and docker-compose within Dockge. It’s far simpler than Portainer, and runs within Docker’s limitations instead of yoloing your configs in random locations (like Portainer does). Plus it’s free, and made by the same dev as Uptime Kuma.

I keep seeing people mentioning Syncthing with KeePass… I use both, but not together, between 3-4 different devices. I have a central Syncthing server to which all devices sync everything, but my KeePass database (keyfile & password protected is stored on Google Drive, in a G Suite Workspace account that I pay for. The keyfile is stored individually on each device that needs it, with a printed out copy (with instructions!) as a backup.

Would my keypass database survive Syncthing the way I have it setup?

OP also has an XY problem.

Oh god, that… I recently realized that I’ve been fighting that concept with one of my cars for over a year now. Just this week, I finally figured out the right troubleshooting path 😂

I got my 7900XTX for MSRP in 2023 and have no plans on “upgrading” any time soon. The same PC’s 5800X3D is also showing no signs of letting up, and given the tariff bullshit going on right now, I plan on keeping it that way for as long as possible.

You’re not wrong; I was just being hyperbolic.

Systemd is fine. This sounds like an old sysadmin who refuses to learn because “new thing bad” with zero logic to back it up.

Cinnamon by and far.

I’ve used so many distros and DEs I don’t even know where to begin, but Cinnamon got me hooked for the long run. It’s legitimately the most polished and “ready to run” DE I’ve ever used, yet still allowing for far more customization than Windows ever offered.

That thread was a godsend. Turning off tcpkeepalive was the other one that I couldn’t remember, but that seemed to help out as well.

My wife has had multiple MacBooks over the years (I set up her old 2009-era A1278 with Linux Mint for the kids to do homework), and after I “fixed” it and talked about the longer wake-up process, she told me that’s what she was used to already and the “super fast wake up” was a very new thing for her when she bought it. So no complaints from her, and the battery performs better. Win/win.

My Thinkpad T14 running Linux Mint (LMDE) gets better battery life on “Suspend” than that damn MBP does when hibernated. It’s the 2017 A1706, too - out of ALL the variants it had to be that one 😂

So here’s the thing - if you can think of it, I’ve already tried it 😅 I spent a week and a half sifting through countless forum posts on Apple’s own support center, Macrumors, reddit, and a host of other forums.

The “Wake for network access” setting was the first thing I disabled after I wiped and reinstalled the OS. Among a number of other settings, including “Power Nap”. Still got the fucking “EC.DarkPME (Maintenance)” process firing off every ~45 seconds, no matter what I did, causing excessive insomnia and draining the battery within 12 hours.

What I ended up doing was using a little tool called “FluTooth” to automatically disable wifi/Bluetooth on sleep (the built-in OS settings did fuck-all), set hibernationmode to 25, and a few other tweaks with pmset that currently escape me (edit: disabled networkoversleep, womp, ttyskeepawake, powernap - which was still set to 1 even with the setting in System Settings was disabled 🤨), and a couple others I can’t remember as it’s not here in front of me).

I put several full charge cycles on the brand new battery before it finally calmed the fuck down.

As someone who just had to bandaid an unexplained battery draw on his wife’s MacBook - no, Mac OS no longer “just works”. Apple buries some of the most basic settings inside a command line-only tool called pmset, and even then those can be arbitrarily overridden by other processes.

And even after a fresh reinstall and new battery, it still drains the battery faster in hibernation mode than my Thinkpad T14 G1 running LMDE does while sleeping. Yeah, that was a fun discovery.

That Thinkpad is by far one of my most dependable machines.

The “searchification” of fucking everything is driving me absolutely insane! No, I don’t want a search bar to be the only way to find things, and hiding the actual file functions does nobody any favors. Having a big prominent search bar in your product only tells me that you’re actively scraping my data to sell to advertisers.

Thank you! This has always been my main gripe about “collaboration platforms” in general (Discord, Slack, Teams, WebEx, etc). It’s just chat with extra steps, and does not make important information any easier to find.
