Different date format: day / month / year; as opposed to the US standard: month / day / year.
You make valid points, however, I’d like to point out that most games on the play store don’t cost a lot because the real costly transactions are in-app purchases. It’s common, in my experience, for the popular free apps to have IAPs upwards of $100 for in-game currency.
There’s also that matter of the no-cost version of the app. It seems perfectly usable, making the ad-removal an optional purchase.
Considering the smaller user-base and the finite economic value of life-time purchases I’d say $20 is fair. But that’s my stated opinion and I have yet to put my money where my mouth is.
Kelvin starts at absolute zero and proceeds on the Celsius scale.
Rankine starts at absolute zero and proceeds on the Fahrenheit scale.
And where does poor Rankine sit?
+1 for Joplin with Nextcloud / WebDAV sync.
Another +1 for Joplin. Been using it for a while now. The web clipper is very handy too.
Sync FTW
I was going to go with Shit creek.
I’d be inclined to agree… But I’ve had conversations like these, if not publicly.
This one about not being able to find a machine (http://bash.org/?5273) is relatable if you’ve ever had to trace cable in a rat’s nest of a server closet.
These are old IRC chats, a kind of Hall of Shame for public conversations… before social media really perfected the art.
oh? When I run lsblk
all of the docker overlay mounts are omitted. It does show loop devices, but otherwise it was the list of physical devices.
Looking at the man page it looks like df
lets you exclude types too: df -h -x tmpfs -x overlay
.
Same. I end up either grep -v -e
tmps and loop mounts or mount -t
for each type of physical mount. I suppose lsblk and findmnt might have better options and views.
I still use windirstat because I hadn’t heard of WizTree. How doe Winget compare to chocolatey (https://community.chocolatey.org/)?
* edit: Found a few articles that compare winget to chocolatey (1: Make use of, 2: techcybersec).
tl;dr: They’re both really good, but chocolatey is established with a lot more packages and better community support.

It took about a dozen times of burning my pale shaven head to finally succumb. I wish I had started sooner. I have two presently, one with a fold-away cape (like in the picture) to cover the neck and shoulders, and one with a zip-away mosquito net that covers my whole head.
One of us! One of us! Gooble-gobble, gooble-gobble.
A million dollars in bitcoin, I’d walk away with a cool $100 after selling it all.
In truth, being in a central Florida town at 7 in the morning, I’d go on a shopping spree at some of the bigger box stores and stock up on electronics and building supplies, before I blew the rest on tools.
Absolutely agree that hiding knowledge behind a paywall is crappy. I hit that issue so many times with Red Hat that I standardized on debian variants.
Searching, while a function of any modern forum, is easily bypassed with a modern search engine / crawler. Unless the forum admin takes the unlikely step of disabling web crawlers on their site, you can pass the site:<website>
filter into your search. For example: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=subtitles+site%3Aforum.jellyfin.org&ia=web shows forum posts regarding subtitles.
👍 for Joplin. It’s nice to configure it with WebDAV directly with Nextcloud for replication and sync.
The move to a subscription model is the disservice and requires no particular savvy to differentiate from free.
Macs and Chromebooks are fine for some people and won’t require as much hand holding as a direct Linux install regardless of the distro.
People are going to rely on what others recommend when they don’t know themselves. It’s up to those people to cull the list from ten to two.
Is the person a budding tech that wants to hack on their system? Send them to Arch.
Are they a creative looking to craft? Throw them into Ubuntu Studios.
Maybe they’re grandparents who barely understand tech. Ok, Mint or Elementary are good options… Just maintain SSH access with keys.
The options are a strength.
