You could try using bindfs to spoof the original user id and then chown the whole drive after successfull mounting (i’m a noob, just my understanding of the issue, don’t know if that’s really possible)

Sorry, I meant risk taking not averse (not my 1st language) Regarding the bugs, they get usually fixed within days

*10.9 if not latest. For the risk averse folks out there, check out https://github.com/containrrr/watchtower I just let it run every night, so far w/o problems

I struggled with Kubuntu as newbie (coming from Windows) - Mint was easier for me and I sticked with it (Cinnamon in my case, but my laptop is more powerful)

Most of my PRs are fixing typos in the Readmes 8) It ain’t much, but it’s honest work

Okay, let’s play this game :D Mint, because it’s frickin easy and fulfills all my needs while being stable enough for my work laptop

My 2 cents on cases: you really need to check the sizes of your gpu, psu (if non is built into the case, then check the wattage) and cpu cooler. I’ve built 3 mini itx builds so far. one in a custom case, one in a fractal design core 500 (pretty large, but fits 2 3.5" and a 5.25", large GPU and ATX PSU. That’s my homeserver sitting under the desk) and one in a NZXT H1 v2 (v1 had issues with the riser). The latter is very thought through, building in it was straight forward and easy.

Who should clean cities and subways from dropped food then? Rats?

I still prefer it, HDDs aren’t free and I personally really can’t tell the difference (my TV kinda sucks anyway)

Your old stuff is most likely in x264 video codec, while, especially at the higher resolutions, x265 / HEVC and in rare cases AV1 are the standard today. But it also depends on the specific release how many streams (like audio tracks, subtitles) are included

For the remote management, either a VPN to your parents network or exposing (e.g. Cloudflare Tunnel)

a typical (full subtitle) .srt file for a movie is like 100-200 kb - still not much, but 5 is a little off

I know and I tell her that, too - it’s just something to consider when calculating the wife approval factor

My gf likes to click on ad entries of Google searches - that doesn’t work

I’ve never subscribed to more than two - Netflix and Prime. Whenever exclusive stuff is somewhere else, I get it on Bluray or sth and add it to my Jellyfin. Since the first two get shittier every day, I’m thinking about cancelling them, but haven’t done yet

Not a single sidewalk is built to last the weight of a car. They are build as cheap as possible (sand bed + stones), because they are not supposed to get exposed to heavy loads. That’s why they are often in bad conditions, they usually don’t even have tree root protection, so they get regularly misformed from below and above

I’d recommend finding a tutorial for Docker+Portainer - Portainer is a container as well, which provides a web-gui to conveniently manage all your other containers (without having to touch the CLI ever again)

The Hacs Integration makes use of the device’s API - don’t know if it is their intended use of it, but it works

You can turn off the internet access at almost all Tuya devices by making use of the local tuya HACS add on in home assistant. Maybe that’s helpful for your research
