I work with Zendesk and this doesn’t surprise me at all - the product is janky and they’re much more interested in sales and squeezing a few more $$s from their clients than improving it or fixing issues

it isn’t so loud that other people would notice, i don’t think - and usually just a bit of readjustment of my position is enough to unblock the vents

don’t let me dissuade you from buying the best laptop i’ve owned!

if i have it on a table, it’s fine, mostly silent. if i have it on my lap blocking the vents then it can get noisier and hotter pretty fast

I run NixOS on my Ryzen Framework 13 and it works flawlessly, including fingerprint reader. I run KDE now but I’ve also used Gnome with no issues.

I used this nixos-hardware module for some of the fancier hardware tweaks I don’t really understand: https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware

For the unaware, Navidrome is a very slick and fast Subsonic-compatible music streaming server, which works excellently with large libraries. I’ve tried a bunch of options for streaming my music files over my local network and Navidrome has been by far the nicest. I use it with Tailscale and the Substreamer client on my iPhone so I can play my tunes when out and about.

I have a few personal domains registered with Njalla and have for years with no issues. They’re not hosting anything shadier than a Jellyfin login (on a non-Njalla server) - and so I’m not worried about getting denied access. And I like not having my real details in the WHOIS.
