Nice I didn't know that ^^ should probably learn at least the basic bash operators, I am just hacking together the different commands I happen to know at the moment really

Edit: why echo instead of printf?

This was causing a lot of issues with newlines, like when I fetched the log to view it my $ was right after the log entry so I switched it back. But it is probably useful in the future to use >> instead :)

Haha thank you. It was hell for a while but eventually it became fun :p learned a lot as well that I probably wouldn't have otherwise..

Idk if it is normal, maybe not. I do k ow the broadcom issue is tho. And the crashing installers one for example was something I saw a "solution" for by random, when just watching random linux on mba 2012 setup videos to see what I was doing wrong. No other mention anywhere but right in the middle of this video was someone else with the same problem.. So it obviously wasn't just me.

The broadcom chips are largely a goddamn mess apparently. See this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/55868/installing-broadcom-wireless-drivers

But know that this info is not working for me, and I had to use this instead: https://www.thetestspecimen.com/posts/broadcom-wifi-modules-fedora/

I don't think you will be running into any other issues really but these are INFURIATING when you don't know where to start. If you decide to go for an intel mac then spend some time looking up the drivers and issues beforehand I think. Also, I went down many rabbitholes because I am new to linux, if you have some experience this probably isn't that bad idk..

That does sound nice, thank you for the suggestion

Yeah it is like my own small blog and it really helps remembering for me :)

I will look up rsync, I have no proper backup yet except a script that just copies some folders and files that are important..

It is not as cryptic as it sounded I just explained it badly.

Log everything you do in human readable text, because realistically as a beginner going through machine generated logs is not very fun, and .bash_history will be filled with stuff that isn't relevant always.

It is just a bash script that logs a message with the current date to a file I can access from MacOS as well (on the shared partition) so that I can see what I did if I mess up too bad..

Edit:

Here it is:

    
# Log argument to changelog.txt with current date and time.

function log()
{
    local changelog="/run/media/jamie/DUAL/changelog"
    local text="$(cat $changelog)" 
    if [ "$1" == "--view" ]; then
        cat $changelog
    else
        printf "$text\n$(date +%D:%H:%M): $1\n" > $changelog
    fi
}

  

Each line looks like this: 03/16/25:11:49: Running dnf upgrade

I will probably add some stuff so I can get the last 5 lines or something if I want, but at the moment this is really fine.

XFCE is really fast for me as well! I thought I was fine with how slow Catalina was running, and I was but now it is kind of painful when I have to boot back into MacOS and it feels slooow..

Translation: I have written a post about my thoughts online. I was told to seek therapy, but I don't have enough money to pay for one. What now?

Tis a joke.

Maybe you are odd to us! I think many neurotypicals are odd, but not because they are neurotypical specifically.

People are different and it is generally a bad idea to assume it is because of some diagnostic they got or not.

I think the more you get to know most people they seem stranger and stranger, especially as you grow up and start to understand the reasons people value what they value and just how different everyone is.

I never started a goodreads account because amazon, but always wanted one. Signing up.

Bots or teens take your pick.. But yeah there have been several odd similar ones today.

Man compression is way cooler than I imagined.

I've been sober for the past two years, but I do still have fun memories even tho staying up for days eventually became the norm and nothing I'd say I miss. But these specific memories are from early days (like, my teens) and we didn't have money to stock up or resupply at those hours really, and we usually were running around outside as we didn't have our own apartments, so that was the bus reference. Getting stuck out in some random suburb, no money, no way to get home, no more speed or pills, cold af outside.. And some mf happens to have poppers lol.

I have so many fun poppers memories because it is never the first choice, it is always just "some guy" who no one actually knew but ended up at the party anyways and it is 4 in the morning and everything is out, and there are five hours until the next bus but running out of poppers is more or less impossible so now everyone is kinda happy but also kinda bummed out cause something else would have been better..

Sure like dystopian scifi, but less the 1984-kind and more the Homefront or Hunger Games-kind (the Academy thing gives me real YA novel vibes specifically that whole wave of Hunger Games like scifi).

Slayyy..?

Bro thought so hard they dropped
