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!

I came across to this YouTube video showing that using a Wacom Tablet as mouse. I didnt think it make sense because I have been using mouse ever since I start using a computer.

Some years ago I started playing around with Photoshop and learnt some basic photo editing skills. I bought one Wacom tablet during that time and enjoyed using it for some time. After I switched over to edit photos on my iPad, the Wacom tablet was just gathering dust on my office table.

After I watched that YouTube video and it showed how ergonomic it is if we replace our mouse with Wacom tablet. I thought why not I give it a go since I have one at home and its not doing anything. Not sure is it I’m getting old, after I tried using the Wacom tablet as my mouse, I got blown away by how comfortable it is. There was an issue with how to comfortably scroll using the pen, after I figure out the setting the enable scrolling using the pen, I believe this should be my mouse from now on. Its just so comfortable to use and very intuitive. And most importantly, I can finally utilize it and not gathering dust on my desk, because this tablet is not cheap at all…..

I built a PC quite some time back, mainly wanna use it as a gaming machine. The spec is not extremely high end, but it’s decent enough to play many games including the current AAA games.

My use case for this PC is slightly different than many others, I usually stream it using Sunshine, I rarely sitting in front of it and play games. I have been switching back and fore between Windows 11 and Arch Linux. Both has its pros and cons, Windows 11 has the best gaming compatibility while Arch Linux makes me feel right at home.

Everything changed when the Steam Deck is released. The OS makes a lot of sense when you only need it to do mostly one thing “Gaming”. Valve said that they will release SteamOS to the general public, but until now, it’s still not released. Many other alternative are there now and Bazzite is the one that keeps popping up from Reddit. I decided to give a shot and see why is it being recommended by so many.

Everything just works out of the box right after I installed it, all I need to do next is just login to my Steam account and download the games that I wanna play. Even Sunshine is officially supported by Bazzite, I just need to run a few commands and all the setup will be done automatically.

It really transformed my PC to almost feel like a gaming console, thank you to those who are behind Bazzite, you really made something incredible!
