  • Gimp already runs OK on ChromeOS, so I would expect the same on Android soon.

    Because Linux runs in VM on ChromeOS, there were some annoyances and there will likely be some on Android.

    Maybe they fixed it, but for a long time Linux on ChromeOS couldn’t access Yubikeys because Google choose not to expose those devices to the container.

    And some keyboard shortcuts and mappings couldn’t work because again Google limited what the container was allowed to see and control.

    And if certain kinds of problems happened, you ended losing both the apps and your data inside the Linux container.

    Yeah, it will be cool to run desktop Linux from your phone. But if doing Real Linux Work on Chromebook doesn’t appeal to you, don’t expect it to be better on Android.



  • I use YADM to manage my dotfiles. I like and recommend it.

    I don’t share them, though.

    I work in a security-related position. My dotfiles expose more about tools I use, how I have them configured and if those configurations are secure.

    I still like sharing and if there’s some snippet I think is particularly useful, I may share directly or post it somewhere. But I don’t share them all by default.








  • Plenty of top endurance athletes are vegan. For one, runner Scott Jurek, seven time winner of 100-mile Western States week.

    Personally, this week I biked 152 miles and placed in my age group in a 5k running race. I eat plant-based but don’t count protein grams. My take is that I eat about twice as much to cover my calorie expenditures, so I get twice as much protein. It doesn’t have to be hard.
