I don’t think my kids have ever used a Windows machine. I have a couple of machines at home that both run Linux Mint and they use Chromebooks at school. There is not much software that they need that is not either a web page or also available natively.

Much of the time, the sites only put a small blurb and a link to the actual article in the feed, so you still have to click through to read it all.

Yes, obviously, I could Google this, but I’m looking for real peoples’ opinions. I’ve owned OnePlus and LG android phones previously to my current Samsung. I loved my OnePlus phones, but my current provider doesn’t support them.

Edit: LOL. I just realized you were suggesting Google as an android phone manufacturer.

What is the best Android phone manufacturer after we count out Samsung?

If you fired a gun past an MRI machine, could it conceivably catch the bullets? I am currently assuming that significant deflection is absolutely possible with such a powerful magnet.

Oh, look. An U.T.B.A.P.H.

I remember this thread! Before I saw this comment, I had already gone to look it up again:

Here’s the initial post of Verionica’s video on booting from ISO files: https://linuxmom.net/@vkc/112905487325961707
And here’s the post on 'The Ventoy conspiracy": https://linuxmom.net/@vkc/112906968594601449

I abhor those Temu YouTube ads.

TikTok is correct. Ban them all.

Thanks for this! I spent the better part of the last hour going through the older videos on that channel. Awesome stuff.

I still use Windows for work, but the last version I used on any of my personal computers was XP.

If AI is better than the existing voice-prompt systems, then I’ll take it, but I doubt it will be.

I remember running Slackware and having to recompile the kernel for just about any hardware you added. I configured a box to be used as a router before routers were something you could get commonly at Best Buy.

I was taking comp. sci. at university and all our work was done on Sparc workstations. Having a Unix-like machine at home was a great help during that time

I see what you did there.

Navidrome is still the best music server, even with all of its limitations. For what it’s worth, the developer is currently working on features intended to support multiple music libraries. It’s going to happen eventually.

Did they ever explain what the hand motions the old woman was doing were all about?

I still don’t understand WTF Ruby’s mother had to do with Sutekh. Why was knowing who she was important to the god of death?

Does nextcloud deck have recurring tasks yet? I didn’t think it did.

+1 for long-ass backup script. First dump the databases with the appropriate command. Currently, I have only MariaDB and Postgres instances. Then, I use Borg to backup the database dumps and the docker volumes.

Database SQL dumps compress very well. I haven’t had any problems yet

I have this problem for the new Doctor Who series before it split off from the old 2005 Doctor Who series and became its own thing. Jellyfin was tagging the new Doctor Who series the same as the old one.

When IMDB finally got its own entry for the new show I was able to successfully identify the new show appropriately.
