  • Okay so I'm slightly confused and I haven't experimented with that on my server because it's only one single drive. If I have several drives and partition one for the distro, the other drives as storage partitions. Are the data storage drives compatible between distro?

    Would that mean that I could go pick a new distro, nuke the "distro drive", but leave the others disk intact and just log in the new distro with my drives as they were?

  • I bought a kettle with a temperature selector. I have one degree of precision. Which is often overkill. It's surprisingly useful to be able to heat water at non scalding temps. Especially for cleaning tasks, actually.

  • Yeah, I wanted to go the usb route but I only have one usb port which is often used to display Waze on the screen. I thought of using Spotify with an Adblock but that's not ideal as it could stop working anytime and basically revert to being a radio. Can't wait to find a way to ditch tidal.

  • I have tidal for music and I really want to drop it since their price hike. The only thing still blocking me is that I don't have a decent way to listen to music in my car without a subscription service. It sucks.

  • Applies to many fields. Studied translation at university and, kudos to the head teacher, he kept saying we worked on current software for illustration but the point was to learn transverse skills to apply to whatever tools are trendy once on the market. Turns out I work in a firm working outdated software older than my uni did. But I always agreed with the dude, we'll have to adapt or die as businesses.

  • No, it's on the awesome self hosted list. It's a great simple recipe manager, shopping list. Nice ui. My wife uses it to meal prep and I'm trying to understand grocy to speed up the process of checking what we need to buy.

  • Here to ask questions too. Is it necessary to add stuff to etc/hosts for this to work man only? Do I have to do portforwarding on my routeur and to what?

    I've been trying to achieve exactly that for a week now and none of my attempts load at all.

    Is there a resource or YouTube guide explaining all this so I actually know what I''m doing?

  • It was an internship and I didn't plan on staying but once I got called in the manager's office. He asked me if I were doing some industrial spying . At that point in life all I wanted was to go home and play some games for the rest of summer until university starts over.

    He threatened me he could see everything I did on my computer and asked me if he should look it up. To which I said go ahead you'll find my job.

    Couple days later I arriver exactly 3 minutes lates because of public transportation issue. I used to arrive 15 minutes early everyday because my transport schedule was that way. I got summoned again to tell me to leave earlier.

    I told all that to my university and they decided to blacklist the company. Being that my university was part of a .bigger network, their behaviour led them to be cut off from the biggest local intern pool.

    No idea why they were so annoying, I wasn't even browsing Reddit on their computer back then and used my phone for that kind of stuff. No idea what lead them to think I'd steal data. I don't even know if they have competitors haha

  • Also, it was full of knowledge that has been deleted. I'm starting my Linux journey and every error I get has at least one Reddit post about it. Most answers are deleted and I have to go on other sites.

    I'd say we did lose a lot. It's akin to an autodafé.

  • Another reason I discovered recently. I work at home on a company laptop. Can't do shit with it so I listen to music via my phone or personal desktop. I tried using Bluetooth gear but realised quickly that if someone called me on teams/Skype or whatever, switching device with Bluetooth is tedious and slow. Wired stuff goes out and in, boom. Oh and none of my computer's have a usb c port despite one being fairly new (2021).

  • I thought you couldn't take a trademark that already exists. At least in my country when I applied my trademark I had to use a portal to check it didn't exist and the service writes that they check too. Not sure about that but at least it's supposed to be checked and blocked if already taken.

  • Translator here. Beware of translation tools. It's fine for personal use and basic understanding but it's not up to the task for the translation of complex stuff or technical stuff. It's good at creating text that looks legit but can sometimes contain critical errors.

    I once worked on a medical device and used machine translation to test it. The text was fine but some numbers were changed. This is a huge error.

  • I was driving with Waze once, on the highway but first gear like 10km/h because trafic. A popup came and I wanted to discard it because I was nearly at my turn and didn't want to lose it so I pushed the cross. By the small time I spent doing this, I was already going sideways off my lane.

    Lesson learned. Next time it happens I'd rather stay in my lane and take the next exit. But fk the people putting Ads in my car. Let me focus.
