Whats up with monitor on the wicker basket? is it a old one? Or some sort of special type monitor? looks kinda weird, and ab it bulky.

Yes it does look a little outsized like that.

When the monitor is flat on the desktop it is too hard for me to read the things on the bottom of the screen. my eyes are poor so elevating it makes things easier for me. I use the wicker basket because it works.

PS I built the desk and the companion piece which my stereo receiver sits on. The glass for the desk I got for free. It is 52"x28"x7/16"

radiused,beveled tempered glass.

I look after our datacenter and servers at work. I use the bottom two monitors to get my work done. Then use the top and side monitors for the datacenter and server monitoring data.

ah, cool, cool...

My greatly smiplified home office, the Studio Hybrid got dumped due to my exceedingly fickle nature...

I don't game on the PC anymore so it's more about media management and streaming to the 360 and PS3 and the ability to work from home now and then. This gear handles it all quite well.

Please tell me you are running some RAID redundancy, I don't know what's up with people these days. They are setting up multi-terabyte RAID-0 setups with no back up because that RAID array is the back up, I mean, wtf?

Are you talking to someone else? I do backup to external drives on a schedule, and across PCs every night, but I hardly need that kind of redundancy.

Not sure if this was aimed at me, or who you where talking too, but my setup is raid 5 w/ any important data backed up nightly to my server in an Atlanta datacenter and then data is also copied to one of 3x external hard drives. (1TB each)

      It's funny that iPhone users think they are getting feature, where in fact they are getting cosmetics that just do iteration circles of "improvement" of the said cosmetics. Apple just doesn't know what to do with this product anymore. There is no innovation on this areas anymore.

      You can disable the bloat on every browser. That's not the point. I will never use a browser of a shady company. I don't trust them at all. I can still find adblocking solutions than having to rely on a browser from a shady company.

    • Alpine Linux 3.24 released with support for COSMIC Desktop and other improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Alpine Linux 3.24 released with support for COSMIC Desktop and other improvements by David Uzondu Alpine Linux 3.24 has been released with updated system packages, including Linux kernel 6.18 and Rust 1.96. The team also added IPv6 support to the system installer, and they introduced automatic serial console configuration for headless setups. System76's COSMIC desktop environment is now available in the community repo. System76 originally started building this DE because its developers found GNOME to be pretty limited. Plus, it did not help that with virtually every GNOME update, the changes broke System76's custom desktop extensions. As for system packages, the Alpine team moved GTK+ 3.0 from the main repository to the community repository due to its legacy status. py3-setuptools has been upgraded to version 82.0.0, while the old pkg_resources module has been completely dropped. The team also removed outdated packages that still relied on py3-six and GTK+ 2.0. In addition to that, libsoup 2 has been removed because the library was affected by multiple security vulnerabilities. If you're a GRUB user, the Alpine Team said that you must manually run the grub-install command with your specific device or EFI options right after upgrading your system, otherwise, your computer may fail to boot properly with the newly updated GRUB 2.14 bootloader. New installations of Alpine Linux now offer an optional path to a /usr-merged directory layout if you set the BOOTSTRAP_USR_MERGED environment variable to 1 before you execute the setup-disk command. If you already run an older installation, you can migrate manually by installing the merge-usr package and executing its binary as the root user. The team recommends this layout to align Alpine with modern Linux standards, though you should verify your custom scripts before making the switch. Alpine Linux is a pretty tiny (~5MB) Linux distro built around musl libc, BusyBox, and OpenRC. It's been around since 2005, comes with its own package manager called Alpine Package Keeper (APK), and is widely used in modern cloud computing and software deployment.
