I am someone who has been trying to pivot into having a tech job. I have used LaTex before as a student and there is a job I am trying to take that uses Jaspersoft to make reports. Is jasper similar to LaTeX? Are there resources you found particularly helpful?...

Run sudo mount <path/to/drive> <mount-point>Where path/to/drive is most likely /dev/something and mount-point is any directory you want but id recommend creating it in your home folder. Don’t include the angle brackets. You have to create the directory before you can mount the drive there.
If you don’t want to do this every time you reboot, youll have to edit fstab like someone else said. Doing this a couple times will help you understand what fstab is actually doing.
I’m really enthusiastic about anything involved with Unix/Unix-like operating systems and their ecosystems (Mostly Linux and a bit of BSD variations). I also know a couple of programming languages including C, C++23 and OCaml. But other than doing a couple of tiny projects mainly to practice my programming skills in the...
I learned something very valuable relatively early in learning how to program: sometimes, if you do things you don’t understand enough, the understanding will come as a byproduct of just doing the thing.
I had been stuck in a “i must understand the fundamental nature of everything i do before i do it” mindset, so this was quite revelatory to me.
I tend to agree with you. I work in a retail pharmacy and literally have had nightmares about work. Some folks dont know how good they have it. But in their defense satisfaction is an unfortunately ephemeral beast. When i first switched from the floor to pharmacy i was happier than id been in years. I still wouldn’t go backwards, but god damn some days i would love a job where i can sit down and the only customer i have to worry about is my boss.
why? because it’s not triggering an obscure anti cheat on a game I’ve been playing when using wine (performance is still the same tho), everything else is just work no missing dependencies and it’s doesn’t get in my way like other distros (I tried Arch, Opensuse, Ubuntu, Debian), just to clarify I’m a complete noob...
If this ever happens to you again, you can try doing ctrl + alt + < F1 - F12>. That will bring up different screens/terminals and its so baked into linux it might have still worked even in that broken state. Still bonkers the installer didn’t accept keyboars info though. Its ironic because so much of my linux experience has been about reducing mouse/touchpad use.
There are usb turntables that let you rip your vinyl, but theyre usually not the highest quality turn tables. I like vintage tables because it adds to the atmosphere and there were fewer corners cut. You could probably get some separate equipment that would let your turn table talk to your computer.

That was before learned helplessness became a staple of the internet experience, i think a lot fewer reddit users will be motivated to leave compared to the people who left digg for reddit.

I hate to sound like an elitist asshole, but i really dont want to read posts or comments from people who only used threads prior to discovering this community. I am in one Facebook programming group with good posters, but the overwhelming majority of them are low effort crap.
Sometimes my CMUS will randomly stop playing a track or it won’t play the next track until I manually go in and hit c (for resume) or otherwise initiate playback.
