  • Keep in mind that only (semi)motorways need Vignette in Switzerland, if you stick to secondary roads they are free:

    Do You Need a Vignette to Enter Switzerland?

    No — the vignette is not required to enter Switzerland, but it becomes mandatory as soon as you use a motorway. Technically, you can enter the country without a vignette if you stick to secondary roads.

    However, be aware that many border crossings from France to Switzerland — such as Bardonnex, Vallorbe, or Basel Saint-Louis — lead directly onto motorway sections. In these cases, you must have the vignette before driving on those roads. (Source)

    So if you are just cutting through briefly you might not need that detour.















  • I’m switching to GuixSD. Fortunately I have an old laptop and can build up my system there until I feel confident enough to do the real switch.

    Pros I have encountered so far: booting in 20 seconds. Nice, although small, community. Scheme is cool. When the time comes, I will just need to copy two text files (and my dotfiles) to the main laptop, and my system will be (theoretically) the same, and it will be (theoretically) unfuckable.

    Cons I have encountered so far: some kinks that were quick to research and fix while on an Arch-based distro, now are a bit more of a pain (but most of them in the fun way at least). For now I have given up trying to make the Thunar archive plugin work and switched to PCmanFM. Also I had to install Logseq as a flatpak. I have started very recently and I have not installed much yet so no idea about the impact on gaming.

    ETA: there’s [email protected] and [email protected] on Lemmy.
