I remember my morning routine around 2007-2008 in college before Linux was usable enough for me was turn on laptop, make coffee and have breakfast. Once the clickety clack stopped, check email or something. If it was still clacking away, get ready to head to university and it would have to wait. While I had XP on that thing it did not leave the house unless I was planning to hit the library to write a paper or something that would take more than an hour. It was not worth it to go through the startup procedure between classes. I needed the charger wherever I took it because 20% was lost to either starting up or traveling while on.

Libreoffice, OpenOffice was abandoned when oracle bought it

So basically you're saying we should allow trans people to play in whatever sport they want so we can collect more data.

I have had it installed for like 15 years lol

Does never removing it count?

Mine is raspberry pi zero 2w with an external enclosure attached to solar+battery. Wi-Fi is barely consistent enough for speeds around 1/4 what they should be. I'm still working out the kinks, but thanks be to FSM for rsync and snapshots, otherwise my backup scheme would probably never be able to finish.

Agreed, I just spent a week (very intermittently) trying to figure out where all my free space had gone, turns out it was a bunch of abandoned docker volumes taking up. I have 32gb on my laptop, so space is at an absolute premium.

I guess I learned my lesson about trying out docker containers on my laptop just to check them out.

Is my memory failing me and she actually did say "fuck that" and they dubbed it over with "screw that"?

I'm doing a 5-4-3-2-1 method. 5 backups. 4 on-site. 3 attached to one machine, 2 of those are on separate external usb drives synced at different intervals. 1 in the shed.

Is life worth living if your windows don't wobble?

2009 was the year of the Linux...laptop

Ah, that makes sense. I thought they were talking about laptop, desktop, kids computer, tablet, etc. and was like ¿...? Linux works next to everything better than anything else.

Anyway, I see what you mean. I got a temperature monitor that needed to be set up using their proprietary software that they only made for Windows, wine didn't work so I actually ended up setting up a tiny win 10 VM so I could set it up. Easier and safer than dual booting with Windows around. Besides that though, I've always been able to find a workaround.

I do similar, except nextcloud and backups beyond just syncing. I fear something corrupting my database and that syncing immediately through all my devices.

Your role models are your own. If you aren't modeling your behavior after your parents, then they aren't your role models, straight up. You may model certain behaviors from them, but not others.

Break it down a smidge. What role are you modeling? If you had a really good teacher in the past, and you use how they taught you to teach someone else, they are the role model for you when teaching someone, but they aren't your role model for something like how to treat your partners.

That's the neat thing about being your own person. You get to be who you want, treat people how you want. Your role models are who you want them to be. I would caution against being an asshole, though. Don't model asshole behavior.

What do you mean? I've never had any issues with multiple devices. They're... Just different devices.

EDIT: Wow! thanks for all the detailed and super quick replies! I've been reading all the comments here and am concluding that (even though I am currently running only one service) it might be interesting to start using Docker to run all (future) services seperately on the server!

This is pretty much what I've started doing. Containers have the wonderful benefit that if you don't like it, you just delete it. If you install on bare metal (at least in Linux) you can end up with a lot of extra packages getting installed and configured that could affect your system in the future. With containers, all those specific extras are bundled together and removed at the same time without having any effect on your base system, so you're always at your clean OS install.

I will also add an irritation with docker containers as well, if you create something in a container that isn't kept in a shared volume, it gets destroyed when starting the container again. The container you use keeps the maintainers setup, for instance I do occasional encoding of videos in a handbrake container, I can't save any profiles I make within that container because it will get wiped next time I restart the container since it's part of the container, not on any shared volume.

Its actually the "went to church, talented white folk there", posted by "fren", somehow they learned random old dude was "88" which has no bearing on the story and isn't usually something that comes up in short conversations, and the "I was like

It gives recruitment/fishing vibes to me. If 100 people read it and 99 see ADHD and move on, but 1 person asks them how they could also feel good about themselves, boom, one more Nazi recruit. That's how dog whistles work. You toss an innocuous thing like "88" in your story, it let's those in the know that you're part of the team and you're on the job.

This is giving me racist dog-whistle vibes.

Yeah, but you can't get a new one at this price. You'd be pushing getting a used one with this range on the battery at this price.

I work in a secure area that requires every person entering to have and show id to security, whether you're recognized or not. They have these scanners that tell them if you're allowed or not. sometimes the scanner doesn't work, so they'll have printed sheets of paper that I'm sure is the equivalent, just takes longer.

One day I came in, gave my ID, heard a "beep", got it back and continued on. About 10 seconds later my brain caught up to the very obvious vocal "beep" that came from the security guy. I have no idea if they just decided to say fuck it that day and let all the fun people in, or if just the speaker wasn't working and they were just having some fun.
