KeePassXC and SSH Agent
A previous article discussed password management tools that use server-side technology. These tools are very interesting and suitable for a cloud installation.In this article we will talk about KeePassXC, a simple multi-platform open source software that uses a local file as a database.The main advantage of this type of password management is simplicity. No server-side …
I like how this article about KeePassXC mentions the SSH agent integration [that is usually skipped in such articles]. Good stuff:

Native Linux Gaming
Marc Di Luzio (Medium)…and then Valve dropped their Proton bomb
Did you know that you can play hundreds of games nowadays? Not just Windows through Proton – no. I’m talking about native games.

Bye Squeeze
Pulling the plug on old servers of mine always makes me sad.
Suspend On Systemd Based Systems
tl,dr: `systemctl suspend`
Sometimes I let my pc play music at night. Spotify still didn’t manage to implement a sleep function (even gorram Audible has this – and chances are the app crashes way before anyway).
I usually use `shutdown -h 60` or similar. Suspend tho? That’s another story. Hint: “suspend” is a bash builtin and not what you’d expect 😉
Looks like this changed (again) from `pm-suspend` to… systemd:
> sleep 1h; systemctl suspend
No sudo. yw.
NCDU
Did you know `ncdu`? I’m using this for years to find out where all my precious disk space is lost. Unlike other solutions it works in a terminal and this way even on remote servers… or gorram mobile phones always short on anything.
Portal
So.. computer games for small children.. that be Portal. Portal 2 to be specific. My kids started to demand me playing Portal 2 on the Steam Link in the living room. That game with the mean computer. Can’t argue with that ;-P
The Witcher 3
Playing The Witcher 3 on Linux. So much progress since my first play through 2 yrs ago when I hardly managed 25fps with many tweaks. Game is beautiful af and runs smooth on highest settings nowadays. This penguin is really happy. Attached images show GOG version run via Steam Play aka #Proton.
