It failed to fix itself. Yes, I “ignored” it for a few days as I had no time to sit for it to check the drive - when I was ignoring the prompt it was still working. It would have broken itself earlier, and I would have been even more screwed. And no policies for backup were allowed by IT, other than a couple files on OneDrive.

Windows was able to boot for a week, prompting me every time, until I didn’t manage to skip it one day. Then it bricked itself

The “fix” once moved my entire windows folder into some kind of lost and found bin. It was years ago so I don’t remember the details. I had to move the files back by recovery command prompt. At least IT gave me the bitlocker key. That whole process sucked

From my experience with tailscale so far - there are so many different ways to have it configured well. If it works well for you having it on the host, then go for it. I have home assistant in a VM with tailscale and tailscale on the (windows) host. This works well for my needs and I don’t mind having it running “twice”

Multiple versions, paths, and installs of Python. Using pip makes it worse.

I still don’t fully understand how to gracefully have multiple desktop environments and switch between them. When I want to try something new to me like lxqt, I usually spin up a VM.

The wires need to be perfect so they align properly so the proper amount of turns can fit in the housing.

Two actually

That’s great, but it should still be possible and well documented for people to run things natively. Some people want less bloat for technical reasons (maintaining a product with very little storage or memory). Tinycore Linux is my go-to example of the benefit of keeping things lightweight for a purpose.

Reality is complex

I used to pride myself in Linux uptime on my desktop. Went without rebooting for months at a time. Back then, I wouldn’t let myself dual boot

Maybe Intel should boot using the embedded x86 in the chipset when the CPU dies in 13th/14th gen. CPU optional.

If it’s your flag, do what you want. If it’s a flag owned by another person, you should ask for permission

Can you tell me more about that TV?

I’ve noticed the honeycrisp variety is comparatively cheaper this year than in years past. Closer to the price of other apple varieties at the stores I frequent. I go for pink lady apples recently though.

If you do compile something, it is very easy to make it an installable package you could share. I’m not sure how the repos are managed

Can I request a hack? How do I handle several different versions of Python installed, which one is used for pip stuff, and how sudo/running as services changes all of this.

Montreal Hotels had .5°C indications. I’ll stick to °F for human comfort. km/h is the same problem in a way, I need three digits to represent reasonable highway speeds.

I’ve had a couple jobs with wonderful overtime pay, in those cases my overtime was usually while traveling to places I’d rather not be. More cash to spend when I got home was great. Better than sitting in a hotel room doom scrolling

I’m uninformed, why were things like snap and flatpak created?

I barely understand docker, but I’m starting to understand why it can be beneficial, although bloated.
