  • I've never heard of YumoHost, but I don't get why preventing upgrades to an application deemed to have "issues" makes sense. If it has issues, wouldn't you want to upgrade it when the issues are fixed?

  • One of the great things about Linux is that you can almost always just run whatever distro from the USB drive before installing (and just reboot without the USB drive to get back into Windows) So you can download a few ISOs and try each one for a bit before committing to anything.

    This is nice if there's anything specific that you need to work, you can try it and make sure it's usable for you before making any permanent changes.

    For example, I'm legally blind and use a screen magnifier. I tried a few distros to compare the built-in magnifiers before settling on one.

    I'd also recommend using Ventoy on your USB. That lets you just plop ISO files on the drive and choose which one at boot.

  • Seconded. I like the episodes about pen testers. It's so interesting how so many business are super easy to hack into or physically break into and gain access to their networks and other sensitive info.

  • I usually just use high power. I should try this sometime, although I don't tend to have issues with stuff having cold spots. Something I think that helps is stirring stuff half way through and letting it sit for a min after it's done.

  • I'd like to get a 3D printer but I live in a 1br apartment so I don't have a great place to put it. I might be able to make space in the living room or bedroom but I'm a little leery of health concerns (seems like a bad idea to have something that's melting plastic right where I'm sleeping or eating, is rather have it in a garage or basement or something)

  • If you want to read and want more Expanse, you could read the books. I'm about half way through the last book now and they're pretty good. Each season of the show was a book, but the last 3 books didn't get into the show so there's some new content there.

  • It should be like music. You can sign up for basically any service (Spotify, YouTube Music, Apple Music, etc) and generally hear any song. It would be ridiculous if each record label or whatever had its own streaming service, so why are TV & movies different?
