Ok, so to be very clear, I'm just the average gob responding and don't know anything from shinola.

Ok, so the porch should have rebar or something in it to give it structural support to span that gap in the wall. Was it a doorway originally?

If the porch has lost that much integrity that the wood section is now load bearing, then there are larger issues at play. Perhaps a contractor can give you an idea if structural engineer is necessary.

My father-in-law taught me to do the dishes at family gatherings (with out getting high part). It was one of the greatest gifts anyone had ever given me. Peace, short conversations, and a task to take my mind off the chaos

Fedora. I've been using it since Fedora Core 1 and was mostly RedHat before that. I don't have time to muck around with my desktop and Fedora almost always just works. I've had too many problems with Ubuntu and Suse and friends. And while I like Arch and Debian and others, I just want my desktop to be point and click. My days off tinkering on my desktop are long gone. Kids, house, work, wife, grandkids, other hobbies keep me busy. I save tinkering for my selfhosting adventures.

For me:

  • Card/CalDAV baikal : so that I can sync my calendar and address book across phone, tablet, workstation, and laptop
  • Messaging prosody/synapse : private chatting with family.
  • File sync Nextcloud : for access to various files. This is the only one that has worked consistently for me. Syncthing et al would constantly lose connection and the file I needed wouldn't be there. Works fantastic for syncing Joplin notes.
  • VPN wireguard : to access things remotely and securely
  • Audiobooks audiobooksheld : I have a ridiculously large audio book library and enjoy listening to them when driving. This way I don't have to preload my phone.
  • Ebooks calibreweb : another large library. I have separate instances for different types: Magazines, regular books, RPG/gamebooks.
  • Version control forgejo : for coding and creative writing projects.
  • bookmarks shaarli : I find myself using this less and less. I use Firefox's built-in sync, so I'm thinking about switching to separating selfhosting that instead of shaarli.
  • Photos Synology : looking forward to immich getting stable. Once they get past regular breathing changes I'll move over to that.

I have stopped using most of the services that got me into selfhosting. Things like rss and wikis. I try new things from time to time but kill them if I don't find myself using them regularly or if the maintenance cost is more than the value add.

If you have another USB drive, I think you should be able to load the wifi drivers from that when using the netinstall. I am pretty sure I remember doing that 15 years ago.

If I remember correctly, in a previous blog pretty, they started that k-9 would continue to be updated with the same functionality. There was something else other than branding that was going to be different but it wasn't consequential (at least not enough for me to remember).

I really should do another review. I've had my Framework for about the same time. Most of the time it is hooked up to my dock and a 4 port KVM. My biggest annoyance is that switching back to my Framework on the KVM it often doesn't wake up or properly display. My work computers running Windows rarely have that issue and my Linux desktop never does. (I run Linux on the Framework.) I suspect that there is a setting I need to adjust for diving to keep it from going into hibernation, but I haven't put that much effort into it yet.

When not docked, my biggest issue is the touchpad. I think some form of dirt got into it and the clicking doesn't always register. But I'm too lazy to fix.

And if I watch videos it gets pretty hot. Again, there are probably things I could do to fix that.

So, really the laptop is great, I'm just a shitty owner/user.

My hinges are not the floppy ones.
