My wife is a teacher, she switched schools so she could be a department head (if they work for a term as one they get paid more in retirement). Her old school was brand new, A/C in the whole school, almost all windows. Her new school is like a prison complex, no windows in her classroom at all, all the brick and concrete blocks cell signal so she disappears digitally during school hours. She does have a 70’s science classroom though, so floor to ceiling glass cabinets full of real borosilicate lab glass. I had fun there while she was moving into her classroom.

My whole family uses Plex, I couldn’t handle setting up Jellyfin for everyone and their devices.

If you don’t have a lifetime Plex pass then Plex might not be a viable option. My seedbox provider has been pushing people to Jellyfin for anyone without a Plex pass.
PolarisFx@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Linux@lemmy.ml•Looking for a "set it and forget it" distro1·4 months agoIt’s pretty common for me at least, I went from manjaro which broke during an update, to endeavour which broke many times but by that point I clued in to btrfs and it’s snapshots. Now I have my home directory split into different hard drives and I just keep my fstab file backed up online in the event that a snapshot can’t save me. Which happened last week, rather than continue on with endeavour I tried CachyOS this time. One day I’ll install Arch the way it was meant to be, but until then…
PolarisFx@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Linux@lemmy.ml•Looking for a "set it and forget it" distro1·4 months agoNo, I’ve been running Endeavour forever and know his pain quite well. It’s almost always core packages that break it. None of the stuff from the AUR has ever caused issues. That being said he should be using btrfs and taking regular snapshots. Sometimes I feel like installing grub just to make recovering snapshots easier.
Twice this year I’ve had updates break the system, both were core packages. I just restore a snapshot then delay my next update for a couple days and it’s usually fixed.

Michigan has the same fit about those pipelines, but that’s mostly because ships dropping anchor over the pipelines and the ecological disaster that would occur makes them uneasy. Everyone wants oil, but until the world turns into Minecraft and we learn to send liquids wirelessly, someone’s fucked.
What’s the add-on situation like? I’ve been using Iceraven because of its extensive add-on support, way beyond Mozilla’s curated list. But privacy centered it is not.
Used Waterfox for years, made the switch to Zen which has quickly become my browser of choice. Mostly because I never realize it’s running. I can have, and currently do have a million tabs open and it barely affects my system. Which is nice.
First 8 months on Ozempic: “Why the hell does my stomach hurt so much? Oh, I haven’t eaten for 3 days.”
The first couple weeks I had to set an alarm to remind me to eat. 3 years later I wish it still had the appetite suppression. I’ve thought about Wegovy but I’ve finally stopped having the Ozempic side effects, and I don’t hate myself enough to go through with that again.

I have a $350 Japanese made replica of a Patek Philippe Grand Complication, everything works on it. To me it is indistinguishable from the real thing and didn’t cost me $300,000

This is the reason I can’t join a normal gym, I have to pay a high fee for a premium gym membership so that I can use the washroom without gagging or finding some dude jacking off in front of the mirrors in the middle of the night.
