Its the “new hype tech product background” gradient lol

Oh interesting, i am not super familar with zfs’ tools, so thats pretty cool! Ill have to look at that for my storage array.

How has zfs replaced rsync for you? One is a filesystem, and the other is a filesyncing tool. Does zfs do something im not aware of lol?

Because they refuse to suport linux with their launcher. The moment they do that ill start buying more games from them…

YNAB is a life changer. If you buy into the way they orient budgeting, its amazing. I think their envelope style budgeting is the easiest way ive budgeted before, but i know its not for everyone.

Ive had this problem extensively, but my new Dell XPS’ works out of the box!

Can confirm, grew beard during lockdown, never went back!

Agreed, i had more issues on Manjaro than i ever did on raw Arch. The Manjaro team, at least during the time i used it, didnt seem very good at keeping things working. So many issues with bad packages, keys expiring, stuff like that.

Arch was a blessing.

However, NixOS has ascended me to heaven lol.

I dont know what everyone is so upset about, the shotgun feels fine, the recoil doesnt feel bad, and the mag size isnt a huge problem for me.

Plus the flamethrower buff and laser cannon buff are super nice. Im usually in favor of the whole “buff everything else, no debuff” but this honestly feels fine.

Yea im pretty sure flatpak suports bundles that you can install directly, just like an appimage

If OP is a journalist or refugee at risk of being targeted and killed, my advice is don’t use a VPN, use TOR lol.

Not untrue, and I don’t think that the possibility should be glossed over, but honestly, what do you think is more likely: this specific person getting specifically MitM’ed by a bad actor, or a bad actor taking control of a repo that hundreds of people blindly trust. I have a sneaking suspicion that OP’s threat model isn’t sophisticated enough to need to really, truly, be worrying about that.

What are you on about? If you are using the 3rd party repo, you are just as likely to get malware than if you download the deb directly from the wbsite. Its literally the same thing, just adding the repo means that the malware could get installed automatically and without you knowing where it came from.

Exactly! 3d printing has been the glue for a lot of my hobbies. Ill find that tos and stuff i buy for one thing will eventually make a different hobby i have easier to get into. It helps me swallow the “ADHD Tax” on hobby jumping lol.

You should! Its a ton of fun, plently of places to play online. Unfortunetly in person play seems to still be recovering post-COVID in a lot of places, so it can be tough to play in person.

I am definitely someone whos hobby is exploring hobbies, but these are the ones that ive circled back around to:

Gaming, Programming, Go (an abstract strategy game similar to chess), 3D Art (Blender), DnD, and Warhammer 40k

As another Certified Hobby Jumper… i feel you. I like to frame it as exploring hobbies is one of my hobbies :) lol. Getting into something new is a ton of fun, even if it doesnt last.

I just had to switch my work computer from Arch to Ubuntu becusse they want MDM on all computers now, and flatpaks are litetally the only reason i can tolerate it.

I now prioritise getting stuff from flatpaks, then the repos, and if they dont exist i use Distrobox to export any app thats only on the AUR for example.

Bitwarden is so good. I cant be bothered to self host it tbh, but ill gladly throw money their way for premium for having the best cloud-hosted PW manager
