Over a year ago I bought a little #miniPC and installed #PFSense on it to serve as a #router for my #homelab

I didn't hook it up right away, and I forgot the credentials I used to set it up, but I connected it to a switch and it #justWorks so I never bothered to fix it.

My #Netgear #Wifi AP needs updated and restarted all the time, but pfSense has been doing it's job ever since with absolutely no help from me.

Very impressive!

@michacard have a look at https://wiki.debian.org/MacBook for #debian....there might be more info somewhere for your specific model of macbook, which can be id'd with eg https://everymac.com/. Having said all that, you may find that #ubuntu #justworks....good luck!

@mammoth @mekkaokereke @bart @HannibalElector I’ve been toying with a personal instance of it, and I have to say I am impressed. The original MK is brutal to even try to stand up, as an English speaker. CK in my test env was easy enough to set up and #JustWorks.

I just had a weird backend issue,no SSH on my phone, but pretty sure I can just kill and restart. Has been pretty stable. No idea at scale but I like CK

Everybody who laughed at the deck had their first laugh when Steam released a Linux client for their Steam application.

I guess some are still laughing but they can't deny that you can play a whole lot of stuff on it and it's #Linux and it #JustWorks.

Are there #StabilityIssues? Do I have to wait sometimes for #Eternity for it to quit a game? Yes. Restarting often? OH YES! Am I doing anything wrong? NOPE. Do I want advice? NOPE.

#TwoWords: #StabilityIssues.

For anyone building dialogs/modals, consider using the HTML dialog element, for many of the same reasons as using `<button>` instead of `<a class='btn'>`.

It comes with a TON of functionality OOB to handle submissions, cancellations, accessibility, and more. After refactoring my app to use it, I was able to remove many pieces of state and therefore improve my ability to mentally track what state the modal should be in at any given moment. It #justworks !

@Tekchip yup! good tag #justworks because that it does!

@dropbear42 it's a great feeling, but maybe I'm exaggerating a *little*. I just mean that there are days when everything I try to do #justworks . If you haven't yet had that feeling, maybe you should set a day like that up for yourself. List out a bunch of to-dos, and then start with the easiest one and then build up from there.

i'm not a fan of #bacula but dang that thing still gets the job done. really nice to have that little console where you see everything and a PostgreSQL database of all your backups and all your files. the thing #justworks even if it's an old fart like me.

Me: Siri, set a timer for five minutes.

Me: Hmm, odd that timer didn’t fire 🤷‍♂️

5AM this morning: alarm goes off.

Can’t tell a timer from an alarm. Has plans to drive you down a motorway at 120 km/h. What could possibly go wrong?

@TheFake_VIP thanks for the systemd-homed tip, it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for. And yeah, btrfs on root is amazing and #justworks.

When my mum ran #windows, I regularly had tech support calls from her. In addition, I regularly had to run malwarebytes and av scans on her machine. Even still, she caught various malware, adware and got scammed in a TeamViewer "this is your ISP" call. That was the last straw and I gave her @ubuntumate #Ubuntu #mate LTS, firefox and ublock. The only tech call in two years was dead batteries in a wireless mouse, there's no spurious popups. And the PC is still as fast as day one. #justworks
