I think you just need to click the link and put a bumble bee in your butt.

I think my most upvoted reddit comment was on the poop knife post. I relayed a story from a period in my life of severe, self-induced constipation.

But I’m civilized and used a real tool, a poo-driver.

It’s nice to be adjacent to history in this way. I think I’ll add this to me resume!

I use it with real debrid and a vpn. I have it on a few android TV devices. I need the ease of use for my luddite wife and 5 year old.

I never considered the re-seeding issue until now. Do the debrid servers not re-seed?

I’m working on a homelab and will eventually try to set up jellyfin, but this is a work in progress.

You and me both! The regular one is really good too. I don’t mess with flaming hot.

Are you my long lost twin? Did you marry my wife’s long lost triplet? (She has a twin sister)

Or, hear me out… buy a $20 box to lock the whip cream chargers in. That’s what the ice cream place i used to work at did.

@downhomechunk@midwest.social avatar

All the shift managers had keys. Was it impossible to occasionally fill one of the free kid balloons with nitrous instead of helium and take it home with you? No.

But the chargers were tracked against the amount of heavy cream we went through. They would go straight to the tapes if there were any discrepancy.

Distro-hop? Never. But getting something to work is way more satisfying to me than using that thing. (Slackware user since late 90s, recently diagnosed with adhd)

Slackware users won’t! At least not so far.

Or, kick it old school with reiserFS

Help me choose a distro/stay on NixOS

Disclaimer: I know there’s a lot of questions and posts like this but generally they’re aimed at noobs. I consider myself an intermediate user, and I know generally distros don’t matter much and you can have anything another distro has on any distro but I’m looking for something a little “specific” that better suits...

Slackware current on btrfs for snapshots. Slackbuilds make the text go weeeeee, but the scripts will compile and build the package for you.

Plasma 6 hasn’t come over officially yet, but the main guy who put plasma together has a testing version out.

You could probably get the official proton app running, but I’m good with protonvpn-cli.

It’s been led by the same one dude since the early 90s. There’s nothing close to corporate about it. And there are great communities on IRC and matrix full of knowledgeable folks. And there’s linuxquestions.org too.

Thank you brave pioneers. I just felt confident to switch to btrfs last year.

All the ways streaming services are aggravating their subscribers this week (arstechnica.com)

Below is a look at the most exasperating news from streaming services from this week. The scale of this article demonstrates how fast and frequently disappointing streaming news arises. Coincidentally, as we wrote this article, another price hike was announced....

Streamio and RD are so easy that even my luddite wife can test all the linux distros she wants without my help.

I’m a long time slackware user, but I joined the party some time in 99 or 00.

I never had the pleasure of installing from floppies, but I did compile my own kernels to speed up boot time. Sometimes they would boot, sometimes they wouldn’t. That was part of the fun.

I’ve been on a retro kick lately. I have a pentium 200 mmx based machine that will eventually run a floppy installed slackware. Or at least it will if I can get it to work.

I’m doing trisquel on a sugar toast for my 5 year old and she loves it!

And corps. Don’t worry, it’ll trickle down.

Everything has some sort of top:

Slacktop, craptop, proxtop, oldtop, wifetop, and batocera (because I keep forgetting to ssh in and change it).

Trump’s McDonald’s bill is big, but its prices have ballooned (www.theguardian.com)

Donald Trump’s appearance in criminal court on Monday has raised many questions, constitutional and otherwise, but on the evidence of the first day I find myself most curious about the former president’s McDonald’s order. During jury selection last week, the Daily Mail reported on a $700 (£560) McDonald’s order put in...

Not Mackey D’s, but I placed an order for $100 of taco bell recently. They were still making it when I got there. It was the manager and 2 employees busting their asses to crank out the order as fast as they could while a line was forming at the counter and drive through.

The manager brought me the food and apologized for the wait. I handed him 3 x $5 bills as thanks. I genuinely appreciated the service and wanted to say thanks.

I’m 40 now and have been in recovery for over 8 years. A lot of people in my old circles never stopped partying, and many of them aren’t with us any more. I feel like I see a new tribute popping up every couple weeks on social media. More of my friends are dying than my parents’ friends.
