Michal VyskočilFinally reinstalled my laptop to Aeon Desktop. Just added nerd fonts. Enabled fingerprints unlock. Ptyxis looks like a great terminal too. And love GNOME 48 and the new font.The saddest part was when the brand new Seagate HDD suddenly died during the backup restore process. 😖<a href="https://witter.cz/tags/aeondesktop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#aeondesktop</a> <a href="https://witter.cz/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#linux</a> <a href="https://witter.cz/tags/openSUSE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#openSUSE</a> <a href="https://witter.cz/tags/gnome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gnome</a> <a href="https://witter.cz/tags/neovim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#neovim</a> <a href="https://witter.cz/tags/ptyxis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ptyxis</a> <a href="https://witter.cz/tags/seagate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#seagate</a>

Leah kvetches all the timeApparently, Seagate changed their terms of service sometime in the last 6 months to say that their backup drives only work for one computer now. Prior to that I was backing up my 3 systems on it with plenty of room to spare. I didn't realize it wasn't backing up this one until today, when I was weeding out dropbox junk and noticed that Seagate hadn't backed up this computer since last June, even though it was the primary computer I bought it for. And I never got a notice of any kind - it just quit working. The laptop it apparently DOES work with now has almost nothing on it, since all my client files are shared with them in Dropbox.This kind of greed is ridiculous. I ordered a different brand of backup for my graphics & arts computer (which does have a ton of affinity and music files on it) just for spite. <a href="https://babka.social/tags/PredatoryCapitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PredatoryCapitalism</a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Seagate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Seagate</a>

FellOkay! The upgrade to <a href="https://ma.fellr.net/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a> v4.2.0 was successful at last. But it wasn't easy.Something is wrong with one of my hard disks. Just "compiling" all the files took about an hour. It's two disks in a RAID1, a <a href="https://ma.fellr.net/tags/Toshiba" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Toshiba</a> and a <a href="https://ma.fellr.net/tags/Seagate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Seagate</a>.
