I have been using Arch Linux for a long time. I like it is a rolling release and I can try the latest software as soon as it’s released in the repo.

With more and more family responsibilities, I have lesser and lesser of my own time. I can only do so much of my own things everyday, Im getting tired of keeping my system updated.

Recently, I started using Bazzite on my gaming PC. Its very stable, and all the things I need are already pre-configured. I don’t really need to tinker so much to get the system up to my liking, I just need to install it and it’s ready to be used. And most importantly, I don’t need to worry about updates anymore. If the update contains bugs or something, I can just roll it back to the previous state, and the system will always work unless there is hardware failure. This is exactly what I want now, I want something reliable more than something new but unstable.

Finally, the Steam Deck LCD replacement battery is here. Its so nice that the deck parts are very easily replaceable. It took me less than 10mins to put back the battery, and now my Steam Deck is back to life!

After few months of using arm64 Firefox on Windows on ARM, the performance and experience was ok, but Microsoft Edge is better. Time to switch back to chromium based browser..

I’m annoyed that I’m not able to sync browser bookmarks easily across different browsers. I’m using an iPhone and iPad, so the main browser I’m using on the phone or tablet is Safari. On my PC or Mac, I’m using Firefox.

On Firefox or even Chrome, I can easily sync bookmarks by using Floccus. It’s very easy to setup and it supports Google Drive and Nextcloud to sync bookmarks. The one browser giving me headache is this Safari, Floccus doesn’t support this browser and there is no easy way to sync bookmarks between Firefox.

The currently solution I’m using is, I have a Windows VM on my Mac, and I run iCloud bookmarks sync from this VM, then I can have all my bookmarks sync across all the browsers that I’m using, very stupid but it works.

I always wanted a better solution for this problem and I found Linkding. It is a selfhosted bookmarks manager. Very easy to setup, I just need to set the port that I want use in the docker compose file and its all ready to go.

Linkding doesn’t support folders like Firefox did, it uses Tag to group different bookmarks. After I imported all my bookmarks from Firefox and spent few mins to adding all the tags, now I have all my bookmarks that accessible everywhere. There is no need to sync to any browser anymore. All I need to do is just go to Linkding and click whatever bookmarks I want. I wish I found it earlier!

I guess, many are like me, disappointed by the recent controversy on Firefox, but is there a true alternative browser that is not profiling you or selling your data? Maybe it is better to settle with a known bad guy rather than some fake good guy?

I just completed Spider-Man 2. The game story is surprisingly shorter than I thought. I completed this game solely by streaming it from my mini PC. Game streaming really deserves more love, you just need a stable internet connection and you can game anything anytime anywhere you like.

Its so convenient that I can play any game on the move. Sunshine works surprisingly well even if Im overseas.

Very nice weather today.

Its been so long since the last time I came to Tokyo. This time I’m finally able to see Mount Fuji so clearly.

To remove this battery is not easy, thanks ifixit for the comprehensive guide, i removed it without damaging it!
