Somehow related, there is a new firmware upgrade available this morning: Beta Software update for your Framework Laptop 16 (AMD Ryzen™ 7040 Series) - BIOS 3.07. Among other things, one update states "Fixed non-functional “Force Power for Input Modules” setting".

We switch to Incus for all our dev environments and it has been a pleasure since then

A few years back, I was deploying, operating and debugging a Hadoop cluster with Kerberos enabled behind a firewall with only the SSH port being opened. Without a web browser would have been a much more complicated task. I ended up installing the X11 client on my local macOS and the all Gnome + Firefox on one of the cluster's node. Something that is not doable with Wayland. This project work like a charm, here is a quick example on how to test it inside an Incus container (I had to install 2 additional dependencies).
# Work with Gnome terminal but resolution is much better in something supporting images
apt install -y kitty
kitty
# Create an incus container
incus --project default launch images:ubuntu/24.04 term
incus --project default shell term
# Install dependencies
apt install -y curl firefox libharfbuzz0b libfontconfig1
curl -L -o term https://github.com/mmulet/term.everything/releases/download/0.5.1/term.everything.mmulet.com-dont_forget_to_chmod_+x_this_file
mv term.everything.mmulet.com-dont_forget_to_chmod_+x_this_file term
chmod u+x term
echo '<h1>Hello</h1>' > test.html
# Start firefox, wait for a few seconds
./term firefox test.htmlComment · 1 year ago
I live on a houseboat just after paris in Meudon, facing Boulogne, we go paddle and swiming with the kids since they are 5 years old. The thing is to avoid going to the river the days after big rains. It is a very pleasant area along the Saint Germain Island (bras mort de l’Île Saint Germain)

> consider it to be my "forever desktop"
Feelings shared, if only Gnome would provide this column-based file navigation that I miss so much

It is similar to how CoffeeScript literate works.

My work environment is now similar, using Traefik, Docker Compose and dnsmasq with easy to remember and customized fqdn such as api.myapp, www.myapp, db.myapp, … I had way too many servers to start for each project with ports to remember and creating conflict. The setup is described here: https://www.adaltas.com/en/2022/11/17/traefik-docker-dnsmasq...

I live on a boat on the seine river in meudon, facing boulogne, just outide of paris downhill, about 15mn biking from eiffel towel. Me and our neighboors enjoy swiming and padding on hot days, many friends are fishing just outside our windows. Like mentioned in the article, we don’t go in the water after heaving rains. It is a wonderful environment with trees and fresh air.
