I haven't started this yet. What kind of age gaps?

It makes me happy that I don't even know what that means. Well, I didn't until now.

Mine didn't either when I lived in a dorm. I got around the network block.

  1. Plug Xbox 360 into ethernet wall port
  2. Log into uni network, get internet
  3. Plug router directly into pc.
  4. Assign router same ip as Xbox
  5. Spoof router mac address to match xbox
  6. Unplug from pc
  7. Quickly swap cable in wall from Xbox cable to router cable, Indiana Jones style
  8. Internet for 1 month. Repeat monthly.

If you've been using Linux for 20 years that makes sense, as I have a lot of applications I used on windows that are not available on linux and have no alternative in any repo or flatpak, only as weird little projects on github (that don't work half the time). So I've spent a lot of time trying to replicate a resemblance of my work flow and QoL luxuries. Your work flow has been refined over that 20 years with little windows influence.

Correct! It's where web searches bring me so it's what I use until I git gud enough to learn how to find things better.

I do in my server! But I didn't even consider it in terms of a workstation.

Oh cool, I'll have to check it out! Thanks!

Close, but not quite!

Yes the world of github and linux is vast and I am like a newborn baby. I hope to visit your bubble one day my friend.

I've been transitioning to Linux recently and have been forced to use github a lot when I hadn't much before. Here is my assessment.

Every github project is named something like dbutils, Jason's cool photo picker, or jibbly, and was forked from an abandoned project called EHT-sh (acronym meaning unknown) originally made by frederick lumberg, forked and owned by boops_snoops and actively maintained by Xxweeb-lord69xX.

There are either 3 lines of documentation and no releases page, or a 15 page long readme with weekly releases for the last 15 years and nothing in between. It is either for linux, windows, or both. If it's for windows, they will not specify what platforms it runs on. If it's for Linux, there's a 50% chance there are no releases and 2 lines of commands showing how to build it (which doesn't work on your distro), but don't worry because your distro has it prepackaged 1 version out of date and it magically appears on flatpak only after you've installed it by other means. Everything is written in python2. It is illegal to release anything for Mac OS on github.

 

I'd love to use this as my main app, but gestures are hard for me. I'd love it if I could tap once on the screen to dismiss media that was brought up by tapping a thumbnail (in compact view). Ideally there would be very little delay between tap and dismiss.

 

I have had food poisoning all night and day. Lemmy kept my spirits up with a steady flow of posts to laugh at.

 

Does this seem familiar to you?
