Inotify is the official kernel supported tool that uses the inotify API, again that is the official kernel API for monitoring files and folders.
Its not that immediate to use, specially because there are caveats but works reliably well and indeed get the job done. Why do you say fragile? There isn’t a more comprehensive approach.
Only issue, doesn’t work on NFS and Samba shares.
Yes many times. They re common over here, maybe not in supermarkets, bit can be found easily
I don’t hate AI. I use AI. I criticize AI, because it’s a tool and it’s being misused.
I criticize how people and specially companies use AI…
Go for a n100 or even one with an Atom CPU. Get as much ram as you can afford…
I suggest you open a ticket on akonadi or plasma settings to add that option. That would be a good addition I am always for more settings…
But no, plasma is indeed not in the ballpark of highly customizable de. Maybe more than gnome, but the bar is really low
64gb today is a sweet spot… Maybe only CPU bound AI inference might need more.
I run Gentoo and even compile everything on a ram disk…
So what’s the point? A modern and fully integrated de uses background services and those services are required for many pieces to work so much that they have made not that easy to disable the service?
If that’s the point, you are definitely being unreasonable.
On the other hand the service can still be disabled understandably by text file editing to prevent users from breaking their system. I find the lack of an UI setting to disable it a reasonable choice, and yourself are telling me that it’s still removable by user anyway. A power user indeed, but still user manageable.
Plasma user base definitely is not the customize everything people. I think it’s reasonable that akonadi needs deeper user action to be disabled
That service is local only and needed for many apps to work, including stock widgets.
What is your point against akonadi exactly?
I would complain about that search indexer daemon (kglobalaccel or something similar) in plasma that still after years sometimes gobbles up 100% on a CPU core after screen unlock instead … But whatever
No idea. I got my 64gb ram at very reasonable price a few years ago (4x16gb ddr4) and I am pretty happy that way.
It seems I cannot fill it really with anything I do so I guess that will be enough for plenty of time
A user that want a minimal environment installs a modern complete and featurefull entire desktop environment and then complains that it’s too bloated, at five only on Lemmy.
What is this, reddit nowadays? /S
Anyway, you should uninstall plasma and switch to any of the many more basic Linux GUI environment that better suit you needs, that the magic of Linux after all, nobody forces you to use what you don’t like or don’t approve on your own machine
It’s a dual mouse. If it was using bt you can unplug the dongle. If you plug and use the dongle, then the mouse is not using bt or at least not the bt of the PC…
I use AI, i don’t hate it at all. It’s a tool. And as such needs to be used properly and not abused. Like a knife or a camera or a drone.
I am looking at agents with interest and i believe it’s still early to try them myself, but any early adopters and experiments I find interest in …
Loos pretty good to me. Maybe not a flagship but at that price with updates and spare parts guaranteed until 2030/2032? Unlockable bootloader with no string attached and a lean no frills degoogled Android? That can also install Linux?
I already own a Nothing Phone. Or this would be my next phone indeed.
Note: my nothing 3a was cheaper and with better specs, so no regrets
I Hope you done get down voted to oblivion. I found the read interesting.
While I still don’t see advantage in using agents for these tasks, because I have fun doing them myself, I have great interest to see where all this leads.

I was put off by ComfyUI, seems awfully complex. How is your experience?
Any suggestions to start? I have Fooocus installed now
No, really, wireguard encryption overhead is negligible unless you have a really old CPU (like a Pentium100 or something).
Whatever slows down your N100 is not wireguard per se, probably some tailscale overhead going trough their servers.
I have a fairly dated rented server, with an Atom D510, 2 cores, which is 10 years old, and accessing it over wireguard or not, I can still max out the network bandwidth without any visible CPU overhead.
The maximum internet speed you get is the speed of the slowest link in between your house, your ISP, any other network in the middle, and the ISP you are using to connect your remote device to the internet itself
On top of that, put tailscale. Assuming packets go directly between home and your remote device, then tailscale should not impact. But if the packets do go trough a tailscale server, like you have no public IP address at home, or CG-NAT, then that will be the bottleneck most probably.
Tailscale on itself isn’t a measurable overhead.
In general, for home network speed, consider your home UPLOAD speed (as that will the seen as “download” speed from outside) not the download speed, which is often many times faster.
Lineage os is android. You just said I want a want a Toyota or a Corolla…
Anyway I suggest Nothing Phones. Unlockable bootloaders from the factory, no phoning home required. And great hardware.
Fake? As is? Vibe coded? Or just old style UI? Have you ever tried stuff like XFCE or even TWM?
Man I feel old
Never had mdadm causing that. I have a raid5 array that’s used only for backup once a day and it is mounted 24/7, and the disks are off for 23hba day more or less …
