OP shows up fine for me.

I don’t know what football had to do with it.

That’s Ludacris who famously sang “Move Bitch.”

Everything about this site is disgusting and needs to be burned down.

Which site? Truth Social, or the unaffiliated site the commenter above you linked to? trumpstruth.org is a third party site that preserves Trump’s posts where they won’t get deleted and where people can link without giving traffic/ad revenue to the asshole.

If this is anything like the valve I’ve worked on:

1. Shut off main water supply
2. Block drain to prevent losing parts
3. Remove knob (you’ve already done that)
4. Slide off sleeve from body of valve
5. Pull retaining clip exposed by removing sleeve
6. Partially reinstall screw from knob into valve core
7. Pull valve core straight out, make note of orientation
8. Clean, inspect, refurbish valve core. May need to replace o-rings or replace core entirely.
9. Lightly lubricate the o-rings with plumber’s grease
10. Reassemble

I’m a hoarder who never uninstalls Steam games even if I don’t foresee playing them again. I bought an 8TB nvme drive last summer for $545. I questioned my life choices when I bought it, but now the same drive is $1750. I feel better about my purchase.

A thin client is typically a low-end mini PC that doesn’t run heavy applications itself, but rather connects to a virtual machine on a server.

Oh I know. I have one Pi running Home Assistant, and another running a print server for a printer that has a shitty NIC.

Apples and oranges hardware-wise (and maybe having actually taken an intro to C++ course and not python plays a bias), but I found Arduino more approachable for a noob, given the Arduino has example code and a library manager within the IDE. RPi felt less guided to me and required a lot more external reference. That said, there’s something to be appreciated about just saving the .py and having the program run without having to wait a minute to compile.

My wife’s family used to do a Christmas party game where someone prepared a ball of cling wrap with small gifts inside: lottery scratch-offs, cash, candy, trinkets, and liquor nips. We’d sit in a circle and one person would frantically try to unravel the ball while the next person would roll and reroll a pair of dice to try to get doubles. When the dice matched, the ball moved to the next person.

Ah yes, “let them take out Los Angeles,” a city that would rank as the 19th highest GDP if it was its own country. A city that alone contributes 4+% of the USA’s economic output. Great strategy, Commander in Soiled Briefs.

That commenter just wants to be sure their child bride isn’t packing a surprise for the bedroom.

So there’s a descriptive name, an @ name, and a URL name, all of which show differently. When I click on your link to go to that community, it shows “!onion@piefed.world” in the community subheading, but the individual posts below drop the exclamation mark from the @ name. I can see the reasoning behind the three different variations of the name for different purposes, but the difference between the two @ names seems like a bug to me.

I’ve tried to switch to Linux a handful of times on my secondary machine, from Vista era up to Windows 11. My primary use case at the beginning was DVR. Couldn’t beat Windows Media Center for that in the Vista/Win7 era. Then WMC got the axe so my use case shifted to Plex with other content sources. Tried Linux for that changeover. As an unseasoned Linux toe-dipper, that process was just a bunch of blindly running commands from a setup guide to install everything, usually without an explanation of what each command does. Some stuff wasn’t working and I didn’t have an idea of how to fix it where to start looking, so I aborted Linux and ran Windows 10. As a largely headless machine (accessible via KVM, but I usually just used remote desktop to manage), Windows 10 updates were a frequent hassle with the full-screen nags for OneDrive and whatnot that interrupted the boot to desktop (and thus prevented my background services from starting), but I lived with it for years, and remoted in when I had to fix something.

This past year, I finally did a fresh start with TrueNAS running all the same apps I was using on Windows. It took a while to figure out permissions, and the process of getting there was messy, but everything is working.

In anticipation of the Valheim 1.0 release, I wanted to setup a dedicated server. I initially tried setting up a spare laptop to run it in Mint, but I ended up reallocating that laptop to my wife so she could dip her toes in Linux. I then shifted to trying to set up a Docker container for it, but had a misunderstanding of where to paste the Docker compose, so I gave up and installed a Mint VM and setup the server inside that VM. Then a couple months passed, and I’d forgotten what installation type I used and also what commands to update/configure, which motivated me to delete the VM and figure out what I was doing wrong with Docker. Got it set up after a little struggle with file paths to a separate storage pool, but it’s now working perfectly. Now I have an easy update button in the GUI so I don’t have to remember or document any commands. I’d go so far as to say the vanilla dedicated server running as a Docker app inside TrueNAS is a cleaner, easier experience than the default method in Windows. Now I have a friend asking for a server-side mod, so we’ll see how that goes…

As for my wife, her main use case is simple Libre Office and web browsing, so there’s basically no struggle there. There was one hiccup with her touchpad not working, but she resolved that. She did try to run Clone Hero and ran into an issue with button mapping with her Xbox 360 guitar but didn’t have the will to look into it at the time. She’ll get around to it.

As for me, I’m a gamer and an engineer. Until all my games and SolidWorks run on Linux, I won’t be switching my primary PC off of Windows.

I had a cat that would hiss and slap at the vacuum if I walked by him with it while it was off. Not so brave when it was running.

I have another cat who lets me vacuum all around him without a care. He’ll even move his paw out of the way if I bump it.

Reasoning that people who haven’t used their health insurance will never need it is the logic of someone who has never worried about a medical emergency that could spell bankruptcy overnight.

I’m sure this is less about their indifference to what this means for those enrollees, and more about finding ways to cripple the ACA so they can justify killing it altogether.

Doors are largely designed to a standard thickness; walls are not. Deadbolts have to attach through the thickness of the material they’re mounted to.

“SETTINGS”

Can’t UWU-fy that?

Saw him 4 months ago. I was not prepared for so many costume changes.

Having something named after Trump in Europe makes me puke.

He has two golf properties in Scotland and one in Ireland.
