  • Have you or someone close to you converted to Linux recently (with Windows 10's end of support)?

    Jump

  • Yup. My desktop was the last computer I had running windows 10.

    A couple years ago, I installed debian on an old laptop that I'm using as a home server now, and that was my first contact with Linux since 2010 or so. It was an experiment that got from "I'm just trying stuff" to "I use this every day".

    Then I got a steam deck, and I saw that gaming on Linux was a thing now. Gaming is one of the things I need my PC for, since I don't have consoles, so that was important for me.

    Then I got an old laptop from my sibling and I decided to install Arch to learn a bit more. Another experiment that got out of hand, until that laptop became my daily driver. I spent less and less time in front of my desktop.

    This year, with Win10 going out of support, and having no interest in Win11 after having used Linux a bunch, I decided that was it. I did slack for a bit, because I had a lot of files that I needed to review and backup (or delete).Because of unrelated stuff with my server -I had to empty my external hard drive to reformat it from NTFS to ext4-, I used the opportunity to do the hard work, and when that was over, installing Arch was a breeze.

    That was a couple months ago, and I'm still customizing the PC, because life got in the way, and I'm doing things differently to my laptop (using niri instead of hyprland, using btrfs instead of ext4 -which I did wrong and I have to fix to be able to do snapshots-).

    But yeah, I'm having fun and I don't miss windows. There's some software that I need sometimes, like the 8bitdo firmware updater and things like that, but it's mostly minor stuff. I did use FL Studio before and I heard it doesn't work great on Linux, but I haven't made music for the past 4 years, and if I want to and can't make it work I can always use Reaper or something :)

    Cooking at home vs eating out vs delivery: what’s your situation?

    Jump

  • Living alone, I have cooked at home since I was 18. Delivery only on very rare special occasions, same as eating out.

    The two big reasons are all the money I save (I spend around 200€ on food each month), and I like cooking food my own way.

    Sure, many times I don't have the energy to cook, but I usually make food for 2-4 days, so I only have to microwave it. Maybe I'll make some veggies with an onion and garlic sauté, save it on the fridge, and cook some chicken breast on the day, so I don't have to do all the cooking at once, and it's still fresh and good.

    I couldn't afford ordering delivery or eating out every day, but I work part-time so I have more time than money.

  • The Male Gaze 👁️

    Jump

  • My interpretation is he saw a guy because he had the visor on, but when it came off it's revealed it was a hot woman all along, and the visor was "protecting" him from that view. As in, he doesn't have to deal with his misogyny if he doesn't see women.

    Ooooor it just doesn't make sense.

  • Would you enter a relationship with someone with genital herpes?

    Jump

  • Your point stands, but the math doesn't work like that. Some people would have both, so in total the amount of people with any type of herpes would be 67%+0.33*13% = 71%.

    And around 9% of people have both types, but they're already included in that 71%.

  • Good Morning

  • Not data corruption, but I replaced by mistake my .env file for authentik, containing the password for the postgresql database...

    Cue a couple existential crisis for not having set up backups, thinking about nuking the whole installation, learning about postgresql, and finally managing to manually set another password.

    Yeah, I feel several years older now...

  • But can they use Nen?

  • You get new speakers or you start your music library from scratch. Which is the first song/album you play?

    Jump

  • For testing speakers, Infected Mushroom, Tame Impala and 20syl/AllttA are always good choices. Maybe Tool as well (10000 days). Song depends on what I'm most familiar with atm.

    For a new library, I'd probably just choose whatever I listen to the most. Which would be The Fearless Flyers and Aesop Rock rn.

  • What is the best way to sync images to my NAS?

    Jump

  • I like it as well, but it has a tendency to just stop working every few months for some reason. Everything appears to be in order, the folder sync is active, but it just doesn't automatically upload anymore. It only starts working if I tell it to sync to a different folder instead. It is good otherwise though.

  • Maybe I'm too poor or too young (or both), but I know exactly where everything in my home is. And if I don't it's because I've misplaced it, and the program isn't going to help with that :(

  • Lines are infinitely long... do you mean line segments?

    Wikipedia has a good enough definition: "It has four straight sides of equal length and four equal angles." Nice and simple.

  • Teleportation problem

    Jump

  • Why would the "original" be able to perceive itself in two places? Are you able to perceive yourself in the past? That was literally you, yet you only perceive the present. There is no reason why you should be able to perceive a brain identical to yours but separated in space either.

    Also the point is the "original" doesn't make sense in the first place, both the copy and you would perceive the same thing in your hypothetical case, because you are the same.

  • Teleportation problem

    Jump

  • What is your "original mind" though? Is there such a thing? Are you the same you you were last night? You only "Inhabit yourself" in the present, so the continuity of your mind is just an illusion. For the clone, they would be as "you" as you are, and in fact it would be impossible to tell the difference between you and your clone for anyone, including yourself. Maybe you're the clone?

  • Teleportation problem

    Jump

  • Was it though? I'd argue it was disassembled. And a pen wouldn't stop being the same pen if you disassemble it, take the pieces somewhere else, and assemble it again. This is the same but at an atomic level.

  • just because we screwed up once

  • Thermite is known for being freaking hard to ignite, even torching it is not enough sometimes. So I doubt that had anything to do with the fire.
