2 days agoI’ve been using smb protocol for years. NFS is great when it works, but something about my network makes it unreliable or inconsistent between devices.
Smb has never caused me any problems.

“With the instant availability of information, and content so easily obtainable, is the culture now a product that’s disposable?“
This quote goes back to 2007. 18 years later it’s not even a question anymore, music and the culture around it has become disposable.
There’s always going to be great bands and artists who have something to say! I’ve heard some of my favourite bands just in the last 10 years. But society is never going to look at music the same, it’s just something people tap on their screen and give a quick listen, or worse; just watching some idiotic lip sync to a 20 second excerpt of it on tik tok.
There could be lots of reason for not having sex:
Asexual
Low sex drive
Never found a person they could connect with like that
Being an awful person / falling into the internet incel category
Different motivations in life that they didn’t feel the need for sex
Medical problems - this could cover a lot from psychological issues to physical issues
Fear of pregnancy / failure of birth control
Strict religion
Nervous/anxious/shy/awkward personality (like in the film)
When I pour Pepsi into a glass I put my nose over it and feel the bubbles fizz on my nose. I’ve done this since I was about 7 years old.
Edit: even better than listening to my dumb ass, this website gives a rundown of the common recommendations at the moment: https://www.hifioasis.com/advice/the-best-digital-audio-players-daps/
There are options. I’m trying to work out now what to get my partner who wants to stop using her phone for audio streaming.
Budget options, these are cheap and don’t use Android as far as I’m aware:
Snowsky Echo Mini (made by Fiio)
Hiby R1
Shanling m0s
Tempotec v1
Next tier up would be (and this is where android seems to become the default, but I think Hiby use a heavily customised version of it):
Hiby M300
Fiio JM21
Hiby R3
Then you get into midrange I guess you’d call it:
Hiby R4
Sony nw-a306
More expensive:
Something from iBasso like the DX180
After that you start looking at tech outside what I think is worth paying. You can easily find reviews from audiophile websites about all of these I’ve mentioned.
Probably be catatonic. This kind of stress, self-doubt and loathing require those extra 32 years of building resilience. Transplant it into 8 year old me and he just shuts off I imagine.
I guess hang out in a school bathroom and eat anyone who comes in. But only make myself visible to one kid so everyone thinks he’s a loser that believes there’s a tiger in the bathroom, and he’s too scared to go to the toilet. I dunno, that kind of thing I suppose.
Even as a kid that scene just made me think “why are they eating playdough”
I don’t know anything for sure, but always thought it was more likely to filter out contaminants in your pipes?
Agreed. I’d say Ubuntu is generally fine except for defaulting to installing snaps (which are terrible, the worst package management).
Yes. This opinion piece pops up every couple of months and it’s always related to “this is how we get more Mac and Windows users”.
4·2 months agoI really liked mini galaxy, but I haven’t used it in a few years.
Heroic is a great launcher, but better for desktop. The simplicity and strictly GOG-ness of this would suit my steam deck better than heroic.
An annoyance I did have was that it always tried to download a Linux version of the game if gog had one available. Can you choose now whether it grabs the Win or Linux version of the game?
So go and use it then? I don’t care what you do.
For professional wrestling. The squared circle mods put in a ton of effort to keep content posted, and also are very responsive to comments. But the community is tiny.
CachyOS and Endeavour OS are the two common Arch derivatives - basically “Arch in easy mode”. They’re both very good.
Manjaro is another but it brings its own set of problems that I never have the time or patience to deal with.
I’m using CachyOS now since October. I’m enjoying it and haven’t come across any issues yet that weren’t easily fixed.
This is the first time in 5 years I haven’t been on opensuse.
Manjaro is significantly worse with updates breaking.
I used for a little while in 2018 and again in 2019, both times ended because it once became stuck in a boot loop after updates, and another time couldn’t boot after updates.

I like to recall some wise words of Christmas in these dark times:
Here’s the deal, newbie. You can stuff your stocking with shiny little toys from now until you grow some testicles, but until that stocking is filled with friendship, loyalty, love and devotion, well… it’s just plumb empty.
And no, you can’t purchase those things at Laura Ashley. And no, you can’t win them in the red book giveaway extravaganza. And, gee, I’m sure if these aren’t things that you can wind up and watch spin for eight hours.
Let me make this exceptionally clear. Christmas is about love. You can’t live without other people’s love. Not during Christmas, not ever.
So go spend this time with your friends and family. And if they laugh at you, laugh with them. And if they laugh at you again, hit them and go find some new friends. But for the love of god, jesus, Mary, and Joseph and his technicolor dreamcoat, don’t ever ever forget this, newbie. You have to give love to get love. So start giving. Now.
The IT Crowd is a show about a group of fools getting into ridiculous situations at work. It’s a good laugh and has some classic moments. My partner doesn’t make or get tv/movie references, but even she can drop references from it into casual conversation.
Big Bang Theory is a bland comedy that wants to be much more than it is - relationship drama, social exploratory, situational comedy. But it tends to fail 90% of the time, and the closer it gets to ‘relationship drama’ the more grating it gets.
