Ok, how about we turn this around since you have very high standards for what you consider an accomplishment. What have you succeeded at?

Let her have her last few years of relevancy.

So what's your opinion on Andrew Tate?

You could check the Wikipedia entry for her, there's a few accomplishments in there. in any case, I'd say attempting to bring food to starving people under death threats and attempts for doing so makes any of her attempts at doing something, whether the goal is accomplished, far better than whatever you've got going on.

I'm not seeing nextcloud mentioned in the article. If they are moving to nextcloud, I wish them the best. It's great for my personal use, but from my experience it's lacking in what I would expect in a work environment. With a government entity coming to use them, it would be fantastic to see some improvements on them because they're almost there.

I upgraded my 7 year old 4tb drives with 14tb drives (both setups raid1). A week later, one of the 14tb drives failed. It was a tense time waiting for a new drive and the 24 hours or so for resilvering. No issues since, but boy was that an experience. I've since added some automated backup processes.

I'll take the draft, I'd happily lay down my rifle and surrender.

My laptop with 4gb of ram and atom processor came with Windows 10 (I purchased it intending to put Linux on it). I tried it out just to see how W10 worked on it and it was absolutely excruciating and borderline unusable, and I was coming from a Pentium M with 512mb of ram. I have no idea how anyone would have thought it could be a functional system running that.

It's literally a rock that will preserve things

At some point in the future I'll come find you and remind you of what you took from me.

What sort of "simple" things did you have trouble with in Mint?

You could try popOS, Fedora, or Ubuntu. But without knowing what you struggled with, Mint should still be the best choice of you're new. Your troubles could just be the desktop environment you picked, or enabling third party/proprietary repositories. Or they could be a legit issue that is easily fixed using a different distro.

I'm 38, about a year or two ago was when "drink enough water" stopped working. It'll make you more functional, but that hangover ain't going away until it decides it's time to go, not you.

Alcohol is less than 80% the weight of water, so just carry that instead. Plus you have an antiseptic.

You did it twice, so I'll be the grammar police:

Especially = particularly

Specially = for a specific purpose

I barely got an opportunity to try out Solaris/opensolaris (honestly I don't remember which) before Oracle got involved. It gave me the impression of being a no nonsense, get shit done workstation OS. It was clean, it had enough frill that anyone could sit down in front of it and start working, but it wasn't showy. I wasn't a business person doing business things, and I was really just looking around for a good office suite on a stable OS that I could make it through college with. I really liked the "this is where work gets done" feel of it.

I haven't seen much asking for Bernie. Lots of praising Bernie for doing what's right and we should have had him in 2016, but I see a lot more asking for AOC.

I've used Linux for 15+ years.

Install from the repositories, if it isn't in your "app store" or installed using apt or yum or whatever your distro package manager is, don't bother with it until you're more familiar with Linux.

Your system is 99%+ of the time going to be secure as long as you don't install something sketch. You need to install it, it won't just happen on it's own, things can be hidden behind copy paste instructions so be sure you have a good idea of what each step does if you're doing that (I've never come across this in the wild, FYI). The other small percentage is a bug or something in packages (see the xz debacle) which you have little control over. The best thing you can do is just keep packages up to date.

I also do not have ADHD and do not do this, much.

I keep tabs open until I'm done with them or am setting those ideas aside. I'll keep them around longer if it was hard for me to find, otherwise I trust that I'll be able to find the information again. I can't actually remember the last time I bookmarked a website, although with how shitty search engines are becoming, I might start doing that again to avoid having to slog through AI shit sites to find a site again.

Why is US ghosts number one? It's terrible. The UK one is a million times better.

If someone is more familiar with this than me, does it get better after the first few episodes? It just seems like a hamfisted knock off to me without the soul of the original.

We were unaffiliated with the department of safety (cops), they have no business being in our building unless it's to drop off samples or for training. Cases are usually handled by prosecutors by that point, so if any defense lawyer got word that a cop was in there harassing us about results that would be highly unusual and they'd have a pretty strong case for tossing it due to tampering.
