I giggled a little too hard since I actually ended up in a psych ward while moving cross country and made some friends there. Unfortunately my stay was 2 states away from the one I live in now so not even that worked out lol

But thank you for the advice and I think I’ll check out joining sometype of sport, most likely rock climbing(always had an intrest but never the motivation) since that seems to be widely recommended and just seems like a fun time even if I don’t end up meeting anyone

While I agree that we have the technology to wildly decreas emissions by just cutting down on inefficient production, I do want to point out people did infact starve due to covid/lockdowns. Many lost jobs, big corps took the opportunity to run mom and pop shops out of buissness, prices skyrocketed. My family wen’t from scrapping by to relying on food drives

If your truely going the endevour route, here some tips on recoving from a broken state:

• The archwiki is your friend, read the relevant pages before asking on forums

• Install arch manually (no archinstall) and thoroughly read the wiki to understand how your system is put together. Then install endevour, just from doing a manual arch install you should have the knowlage to fix like 90% of issues

• Learn the basics of systemD, will also help you on 99% of mainstream distros

• Keep your /home directory on a seperate partition, useful for doing a system rescue and for distrohopping

For me at least it is 100% a hobby. Sure when I’m actually working I’m either running plasma or riverwm basically stock, but it’s genuinly really fun to see how “hollywood hacker” based I can get my desktop to look. It also helps me learn more about interacting with the inner workings of linux since I like to modify things myself instead of using other peoples dots. I even made a shitty terminal application launcher using pure fish cause I wanted to see if I could, and it taught me a ton about .desktop files and binary locations and flags. That information I now use daily building my own applications

Personally go: Flatpak (I like easily controlling an apps premissions) -> flatpak version is broken… Try system package -> distrobox -> compiling -> appimage -> not installing a package

Distrobox/containerd is so nice since a lot of the niche tools I use require Debian or Ubuntu dependency versions, but I’d be lying if I said everything “just works”

Not sure what your exact requirements are, but these three should work great as simple upload and share embed link type servers :0

Lychee: My personal choice even for my entire photo library since I just like things to be simple

Pellicola: Self discribed as “Pastebin for your photos”

Media Goblin: Lets you view more then just photos, might replace my lychee for non-photography use

Anything 8th gen or newer is going to run everything you need and then some. Ive seen people using that mini-pc as a full gigabit router even!

The previous comment talking about price to preformance of mini PCs is somewhat correct if were talking anout buying new, but absolutly wrong about buying used/refurbed. Regular PCs are widly more popular meaning they hold onto their price better. For selfhosting a used/refurbed mini-pc is probably the best form factor you can get when starting out

Write POSIX scripts for portability*, maintainability doesn’t depend much on the shell

POSIX for the system, Fish for the interaction is how I like my OS :3

Theoretically this is possible to do if you’ve avoided any documentation your entire life, or more likely, the hospital staff just dont care enough and forget to find out who you really are before letting you leave.

But realistically the hospital is going to have the cops come in and do a background check on you before even letting you get further care after lifesaving measures. And if you dont give up your information then your most likely getting ICE called on your ass…

Endevour to Debian to Alpine. Planning on the move to Guix when I have some free time…

Maybe one day I’ll hit true neckbeard and daily Redox lol

Why not just use a bluetooth or 2.4g remote?

Sorry yea bad wording on my part, I was intending “limiting” to refer to stopping companys from profiting off of your work without limits (controbuting back to the comminity)

Where are you hearing this?? The FSF has an entire licence dedicated to limiting commercial use of your software (the a-gpl), gpl-3 is also much more limiting which us why linus doesnt use it for the kernal, but few would call gpl-3 not open source. Open source means people can modify and redistribute your code, theres nothing preventing you from saying “This code is free (as in beer and freedom). Keep it that way)”

Microsoft offically supports and encourages using windows in a VM and container tho? It’s massivly important for developers and server admins to be able to do. Even regardless of that, they’d still prefer you to run a windows vm and keep their OS as a core dependency of your computing life

Theres actually quite a few options to get around the expensive price of vanilla! If you have a costco membership kirkland bulk vanilla is much cheaper per oz then regular stores tiny bottles of vanilla, or you can use imitation vanilla instead (ive heard good things but havent used it myself), or my favorite option is to just make vanilla yourself: it takes a couple months and is expensive upfront but its also cheaper then buying extract + its dead simple (seal vanilla beans and vodka together and wait)

Sadly Im not making my own vanilla anymore but when I did it tastes the exact same as any store bought version. Plus you can customize the taste (some ppl like to use Bourbon instead of vodka)

Krohnkite has a float mode (basically just disable) aswell as a float specific window. Unfortunately I cant access my desktop until much later but when I do I’ll grab the specific instructions

Should be under keyboard -> shortcuts -> window management(or something similar) -> krohnkite float

Keybind the floating layout in settings and it will act as a toggle! (Taskbar button I dont have a solution for tho) However krohnkite still isnt anywhere near the polish of an actual tiling wm unfortunately

YES GARLICCCCC! I add so much garlic to all my cooking but it tastes so good with so many things. And ive always found it weird how little vanilla most people put in their baking to the point you cant taste it at all-
