Hyacin (He/Him)

I agree and clicked to say the same thing, until I read “I’m scared of breaking something” - if you want to get good at Linux, then do what you’re scared of, and break things, because that is how you learn.

If you do not want to - which is 100% perfectly fine and acceptable - not everyone has to be a Linux expert and some people do just want to use it - then I wouldn’t bother unless there is a specific need.

Oat milk just goes the hardest anyway, even more so than milk

I’m sorry, I’m old and don’t know what this means, or if it is good or bad. Could you provide the old person translation? ;-)

The fallout afterwards and the insane fascist backlash from the overlord is what drove me here. Also never looked back as far as daily use goes, but sadly searches and specific niche cases (SFW, lol) still bring me there occasionally.

So proud this guy was Canadian. So sad our current federal New Democratic Party (the party he was the first leader of) isn’t even in the same universe as him when it comes to ideals, courage and principals.

Mail search is SO BAD - on EVERY DEVICE I make a database on.

I really wish I’d known that before I moved like 15 years of Gmail (and other accounts) over!

SO BAD. smh.

It’s always the same game, vehemently disavow the thing you’re about to do, right up until the moment you do it.

That sounds so familiar … invasion, of, a sovereign nation? Maybe around three years ago? Just can’t quite put my finger on it.

This. Around the same timeframe.

I did manage to unlock the bootloader and install something, and that broke Knox. Who cares, right?

Oh, but when I put the stock firmware back, Knox was STILL broken, because Samsung, so I’d never be able to resell it or even trade it in without complications. Because Samsung.

Proton, but I’ve been questioning that of late :-/

Fire Emblem: Three Houses

Hooked me and then I explored lots of the rest of the series!

Woa, hit the breaks on the rebuild.

I’m old and my memory is going, but I know I’ve had this before …

I think I had to figure out how to -

• shutdown the host
• mount the virtual disk as a ‘loopback’ device
• fsck the disk

I know this seems like it should be block level and that shouldn’t matter, and I could be remembering wrong - but I really think I went down that path and it ended up being the solution.

I know this doesn’t rest in my hands alone.

It does not rest in your hands at all. NO ONE can or will stop ANYTHING until THEY want to. And they have to REALLY want to. Just going to rehab once or twice doesn’t indicate that specifically. I was in rehab with someone who was there because if he didn’t “do something” his work was going to fire him. I don’t think it was his first - I know it wasn’t his last, he was in there again while I was still in aftercare. That was 12 and a half years ago now … I just found out a couple months ago that he died, drinking.

The real kicker is he’d completely reset his life - he’d moved 6 hours away from here - HE WORKED AT A TREATMENT CENTRE - complete “success” story on the outside, but clearly there was some shit going on inside that he wasn’t talking about or dealing with.

We can’t fix other people. All we can do is be there if and when they reach out for help, and hope for the best. It’s sad, but it’s life.

I said this to my father in 98/99ish when we were already updating to four digits anyway and he told me I was crazy.

We’ll see who has the last laugh.

Not in my books, but to each their own.

Add repos as needed (Docker, Hashicorp, helm, kubernetes, etc.), build from source for everything else.
