I started to do it to keep the dog dirt out of my sheets. It’s the first time I have ever done this in my life. I now feel like an adult.

“fuck you im gonna die before the ramifications for my actions harm anyone”

The reason they moved back is because Excel.

That makes for bad gift giving imo because then they could’ve just gone out and bought something for themselves.

I do the same thing and I am lauded within my family as an excellent gift giver.

Several comments specifically talked about VMs for the various apps. And frankly I’m not super familiar with the limitations of containerizing apps either. That’s part of why I was looking for an immutable os + flatpacks / snaps - it’s much more similar to a normal linux system just organized in a way to not break shit.

I agree with his take on the apple vr shit, but fuck nazi notch.

Is there a performance impact on the jellyfin server by having the NAS on a separate machine? How long does it take to serve a 20gb rip of a bluray?

Honestly I had never built an NAS and installed an OS on it before. I’ve only ever used the junk that ASUSTOR puts out and I want to have control over things. So a good part of the reason I asked on here was to see what other people had done and why.

Oh I like the look of that.

It’s mostly for running media servers like jellyfin.

I want immutability because I come from a the debian world where everything just works. But I want the benefits of using modern versions of packages.

Yeah but it was an unsecure piece of shit for more than the past decade

That’s only because the US and other first world countries have shied away from mining rare earth elements because it is traditionally a very dirty and polluting industry. So poor and developing countries did it their way… with slavery and incredibly ecologically damaging techniques.

New techniques are being developed in the US that solve those problems. It originally wasn’t worth the effort because we had plenty of lithium to make 18V drill batteries. Since BEVs have proven to be capable and desireable over the last decade, critical material supplies just didn’t keep up and those new techniques were just a twinkle in the eye of some smart people.

If you’d like to learn more about how we can completely avoid the slavery and pollution problems related to getting lithium, take a look at the Salton Sea enhanced geothermal projects. I am personally going to invest a portion of my life savings in that company if given the opportunity.

There are at least two different apps. Which one? This one?

OK found it.

https://github.com/jameskokoska/Cashew It does have iOS and Android apps available.

They REALLY need to rename. That first link stole their name and they collect and sell your data.

My solution: peer pressure. Get your smoking buddy to quit with you. Just go cold turkey - but tapering down a bit before hand might help. Don’t use gum. Don’t use drugs or patches. Just fucking quit. Statistics show that people who use quitting aids like vapes, gum, patches, drugs, etc, fail far more often than people who just go cold turkey.

So cold turkey with a friend. Hold each other accountable. Use each other as a support group. If they fail, sympathize with them but guilt trip them into quitting again so they can be your quit buddy.

That’s excellent advice. It’s like training a dog - your brain stops associating the release of dopamine with cigarettes after a few bad experiences,

Brushing your tongue is like using a broom to sweep leaves from a grassy lawn while this is like using a rake.

I’m stuck with it because of work. Luckily, “Industry 4.0” is completely fucking fed up with M$ and they’re abandoning Windows in droves. I’m just waiting for my vendor to finish polishing their MacOS and Linux alternatives.

Them taking control away from me makes me not use them. Not a problem at all.
