You don't need an exhaust manifold, you need an intimidator!

This part is hard but you need to push yourself through it. The worst thing that can happen is that no conversation develops and you have to do it again.

Another favorite of mine is walking around to see what different groups are talking about. If there's a topic that you know about, just ask them if that's indeed the topic of the conversation and if it is, you just joined.

If getting drunk around a campfire counts as a party, that ban needs an exception. If the bluetooth speakers are dead at 2am, someone pulling out a guitar is the best thing that can happen.

Looks great, but I get a lot of SSL errors without real tine downloading and one every 5 or so songs with it.

It'll take a week or two to download 3000 songs, but running it periodically after that should be fine.

Sounds like a good idea. Zotify keeps throwing meter-long stacktraces at me about SSL errors that I assume are API rate limits because there's less of them when I use real-time downloading.

Maybe it's even a nice project for an android app because zotify doesn't run there yet.

I use bluetooth headphones, 300kbps is enough.

Does CGNAT protect from ISP letters?

Because for all the pain it causes me, it should at least be useful for something

Automatic updates that need reboots but run at any time other than when shutting down?

Sounds like something microsoft would do, but even they get that part right.

LTS does have a place on the desktop: Learning how to daily drive linux. I started with kubuntu non-LTS and didn't know you needed to manually start a full-upgrade to not get moved to backport repos. Of course that came crashing down on me at the worst time and I took a break from linux. But I did learn enough that I can use arch now and it's been great.

Same here. Ubuntu almost made me believe that linux is a pain in the ass to use and you need to fix some shit after every update.

Now I use arch and it's great. Nvidia is very annoying because they constantly publish drivers that break things, but you can just roll those back and wait until they fix it again. And that gets worse as GPUs age. Apart from nvidia, I've had exactly one update issue (telepathy-kde being removed and causing the pacman dependency resolver to get confused) that was fixed in about 2 minutes of googling.

Shuffle uses a limited list that rarely gets updated, but not just the 100 most recent ones. You can force it refresh by turning off shuffle and force closing the app.

Yes and that's why you stick to popular FOSS stuff.
