Not sure I am seeing the same. I posted a message about a bash command yesterday and it was almost immediately downvoted. And I have no idea why since it should work for what the person asking wanted/needed. That was one of my big issues with reddit was the sheer negativity that came out of that site and I know I am talking about a single downvote here, but it makes me pause. It has happened more than this one time which is why I get that feeling. I think some people really need to revisit the use of the downvote.
A hundred dollar window unit, and a couple hundred dollar generator is going to be way less than fixing any ac problems that car might have. Not sure when you last priced mechanic work, but depending on the nature of their ac problems it could cost more than the value of the car to repair.
Well in your scenario, there is also the dryer and expansion valve to replace, and if you don’t have the tool to pull the vacuum on the system you are going to have to pay for that, which also assumes you have an air compressor. But even with this simple made up scenario, we are at or over the cost for the ‘solution’ in the image. I have dealt with things like under dash ac issues, and the quotes if you can even get someone to give you one start in the thousands, so as redneck as this is, I can definitely see where this person just said fuck it and started bolting this in. I have grown up with cars with no ac in the summer in places that got hot, and it’s miserable, but I have never cobbled something like this together, so I agree with you on the actual safety of this as I would never do it myself. Where I don’t agree is that I believe this was a cost issue, and I bet he saved a lot of money going this route. Should he be allowed to drive around with that much unrestrained metal hanging off his car? Nope. But I definitely can see his thought process. Cheap first, comfort second, safety last.
Don’t forget things like locking everyone into their ecosystem. Case in point, Minecraft. On the pc using Bedrock I can connect to any server. Xbox and Nintendo versions I know for a fact you can only connect to approved servers. Not sure about the PS version, but I would venture it’s similar. So why would I want to limit myself by playing their locked down copy of the exact same game?
This is a crazy good deal, and according to people on their discord, you can transfer the standard license to someone if you already have a licensed copy. You will also get the pdf copies from Paizo on their website.
I’ve used distrobox more and more and am at the point where I need to start saving and integrating history differently. Or like, when I’m installing and building something complicated, I need to start saving that specific session’s history. I am curious what others might be doing and looking for simple advice and ideas.
Maybe a little primitive, but I copy my .bash_history file to a folder with a dated name every afternoon using a cron job. Then I can just grep that for commands I know I ran in the past. ‘sort -fu’ will remove the duplicates in the results.
Same here. My Dad has been using Mint for years now, and wouldn’t know what to do in the command line. He gets on, does what he needs to do, and it just works for him.

Especially when you consider that they had to remain onboard while the controlled demolition was going on. Think back to when you heard about this, and then think about being stuck in your house since then.
And does it just stick? If so what’s the trick? I pop my popcorn, and it must be some crazy salt resistant mutation. I have ground the salt up in a blender, bought the popcorn salt, etc and it’s like the popcorn has some defense mechanism.
