You stupid monkey!

I dreamt about blowing a guy once when I was a teenager. Does that qualify me as a gay?

Or Hunter's laptop!

What about neither and tailscale (free) on all your devices? Or are you often phoning home on outside devices?

I personally bought a domain name (namecheap) for my vps. Then I set up ddclient on my home pc to fetch my external IP every so often and update namecheap. But I didn't feel it was secure enough. Tailscale is easier, and i feel like it adds a layer of security.

If you are still dual booting, btrfs has a very good windows driver. Btrfs is newer and only recently started becoming the default on a couple mainline OSes. Ext4 has been around forever and is assumed to be much more stable.

Fwiw, I've been using btrfs for the last 18 months or so without any issue. I don't use any of the tools. There's no obvious or immediate performance difference like there was in the old days. We're all on SSDs now and they're fast no matter what.

Did you wait until your wedding night to cyber for the first time?

I'm in over my head a little bit. I've got an old desktop converted to a server running proxmox. But I can't ssh into it or access the web interface. It's obnoxious.

It's nice to be adjacent to history in this way. I think I'll add this to me resume!

Would it be acceptable if AI said it bubbles all the time like a giant carbonated soda?

I use it with real debrid and a vpn. I have it on a few android TV devices. I need the ease of use for my luddite wife and 5 year old.

I never considered the re-seeding issue until now. Do the debrid servers not re-seed?

I'm working on a homelab and will eventually try to set up jellyfin, but this is a work in progress.

I think my most upvoted reddit comment was on the poop knife post. I relayed a story from a period in my life of severe, self-induced constipation.

But I'm civilized and used a real tool, a poo-driver.

Distro-hop? Never. But getting something to work is way more satisfying to me than using that thing. (Slackware user since late 90s, recently diagnosed with adhd)

Slackware users won't! At least not so far.

Or, kick it old school with reiserFS

Oh sweet child

Slackware current on btrfs for snapshots. Slackbuilds make the text go weeeeee, but the scripts will compile and build the package for you.

Plasma 6 hasn't come over officially yet, but the main guy who put plasma together has a testing version out.

You could probably get the official proton app running, but I'm good with protonvpn-cli.

It's been led by the same one dude since the early 90s. There's nothing close to corporate about it. And there are great communities on IRC and matrix full of knowledgeable folks. And there's linuxquestions.org too.

Thank you brave pioneers. I just felt confident to switch to btrfs last year.

I'm a long time slackware user, but I joined the party some time in 99 or 00.

I never had the pleasure of installing from floppies, but I did compile my own kernels to speed up boot time. Sometimes they would boot, sometimes they wouldn't. That was part of the fun.

I've been on a retro kick lately. I have a pentium 200 mmx based machine that will eventually run a floppy installed slackware. Or at least it will if I can get it to work.

Streamio and RD are so easy that even my luddite wife can test all the linux distros she wants without my help.
