I can agree with this. My internet is trash, and I refuse to go with the faster provider in the area on principle (they took municipal funds to bring faster internet in the mid 2000s and didn’t do a thing until over a decade later), so I can’t feasibly share anything outside of my household users. I’m seriously considering setting up some hosted services if I can’t get fiber when I’ve nailed down my setup. I’d rather host everything at home, but I’d much rather offer my relatives access to something that isn’t selling their info to anyone with a checkbook. If I’m maintaining it and I’m the one who can accidentally lose everyone’s stuff with a bad command, I’m self-hosting it.

Damn, she was ready to go toe-to-toe with that guy.

I felt the same. Then I made sure to learn how to exit, then save, then find and replace, then save as a different file. Now I love it.

Because Microsoft office

23 year old thinkpad with 2GB DDR here. I went for antix. My greatest pleasure was putting in an m.2 ssd in an ide adapter.

It took me months to find ram that actually worked.

I’ve had my neighbor get their sewer line worked on that somehow resulted in making my toilets explode with sewer gas and shit particles.

The lid stays down.

Debian doesn’t advertise in your terminal or install snaps instead of packages.

Canonical also pushes the boundary on what’s acceptable in the Linux community and tends to not play nicely with others if they don’t get to control projects. Not necessarily Microsoft 90s bad, but they’re kind of like that spoiled kid on the playground who will only play the games they want to play and won’t share the playground ball if they get to it first.

So for me, it’s more of a philosophical choice than a functional choice. Debian is more barebones in my experience, which is good and bad depending on your experience level.

Our new dog chewed up the Ethernet cable from my modem to my router while I was at work (well, commuting to) the other day. She found the only exposed 6 inches of it and went to town. Everything runs through the router. I had also just re-done some music library file structures and reset my downloaded songs right before leaving, assuming it would queue up and fill up the cache as I went about my day. Something I hadn’t done for over two years, but I wanted a music library so we could put calming music on for the pup that wouldn’t end up in my carefully curated library.

I have my music app set to pre-cache 10 songs, and ended up with 12 songs downloaded, so somewhere around 5-10 minutes after I started playing music on my commute was when the tasty cable was discovered. That was an excruciating day, listening to the same 12 songs over and over again.

Lesson learned about single points of failure in a new way. The worst part was I got a message about it from my fiancé when I got to work, so I knew what happened and there was nothing I could do about it. I just got to look at the world’s strongest firewall all day long.

Some of it, at least with plants, is that the invasive species has taken over a niche of the native species. So in removing it, you alter the balance of the ecosystem. Native birds in an area may be at more risk than a native bush due to a loss in habitat, so it’s better to leave an invasive bush if it provides that need for the bird

Yes, and works on android 6, which is getting to be quite rare these days.

That doesn’t mean he hasn’t stiffed them, just that particular story about congress blocking funds is fake.

To not answer your question, is there a reason you’re not using ventoy instead?

In another week, it’ll be a gate embedded in the snow with a pile of rust and four tires surrounding it.

Edit: 5 tires

Definitely give KDE a go again. I was in the same boat as you in the 2000s, KDE was horrific and I refused to touch it with a ten foot pole until about two years ago. It’s my DE of choice now on devices that can handle it (I’ve got some dinosaurs). Now GNOME 3 checks that hatred box.

Calibri kind of sucks, it’s better on screen then TNR, but it’s ugly as shit still. A better font could probably be found that reads well on screen and in print. But:

Rubio did admit in the memo that Calibri wasn’t the “most illegal, immoral, radical or wasteful” example of DEI to his mind’s eye, but he still berated the font for contributing to “the degradation” of the State Department’s official correspondence.

Fuck this guy, regardless.

You could do that, but I could argue that master/slave nomenclature isnt a good scheme for this anyway, since it doesn’t control any other branches. Unlike master and slave drives from the olden days.

By all means go ahead and keep your naming schemes. It’s your own stuff that after all, that for some reason you felt the need to tell everyone about. However, I might recommend trying to move past it seeing as language has an impact on how people think, and being edgy doesn’t exactly have a good track record of producing the best people.

I brought a laptop from 2003 back from the stone ages. It runs surprisingly well, is up to date, and only really struggles with web stuff because of the state of things.

Antix linux running on 2GB ram, Pentium m 1.4GHz, and an SSD in an IDE enclosure. Uses about 200mb of ram. As far as being functional, the screen is small and low res, and it doesn’t do these newfangled video formats. But if you consider 90% of my work life is in spreadsheets and documents and low resource applications, it really could be just fine. I’m not saying I would enjoy it if it was all I had to use, but I could if I needed to.
