Long term, I agree. To test for 3 hours, and then decide which partition to nuke and which to keep? For this particular use case I’d prefer it

Have you hit it with anything to check if your ports are still open? There are a handful of tools for the task

I actually don’t like this advice for this particular use case. The live session is gonna be sluggish because of the USB bottleneck which will make it look like the games run a lot worse than they would with a proper install.

Especially since this person also is already Linux proficient, I would say just jump into a dual boot setup or wipe the windows partition momentarily. Sure, it’s gonna take a little longer and it’s a bit tedious to have to reinstall windows if you change your mind but I’d prefer a bit tedium over a poor benchmark

What port do you have SSH set to? What ports did you change the services to? Is the SSH port open?

I still think tiling is ultimately the feature you’re looking for, even if it’s on a floating DE. Most tiling WMs (Sway included) have the ability to float windows, and can even do so by default while still giving you the keyboard-based workflow that you’re after.

Tiling isn’t an all or nothing thing, Plasma for example is a floating DE that is capable of tiling in exactly the way you’re describing by default

I did s bit of poking around. It looks like there’s a tool on GitHub for this exact purpose, or you can just save to a .docx from OneNote then use pandoc to convert to markdown

I have a ring from a 3 month stint a few years back. It was supposed to be an engagement ring (I was dumb lol) but now I just wear it cause it’s a nice ring

Agreed! It was a struggle for me and a boon for others.

This is something I run into rather often because I crunch through information. Just skip me to the intermediate course and give me a synopsis of the beginner course and most of the time I’m off to the races

This was a big driver for my distro hopping, until I landed on purple Arch. I’ll either go to the blue team or Gentoo or LFS or something if I decide to hop again.

My struggle was that more beginner-friendly distros like mint and Fedora workstations were too beginner-friendly. I struggled to find things to learn because I installed it and had an out-of-the-box windows experience

Zenni works the same, and they ship to the EU it’s just a bit more expensive. Most of the time still worth paying the reduced price for the frames, not to mention (I haven’t done extensive research on this so I could be wrong, but from cursory glance) they seem to have a more ethical workflow

I think in some areas, the culture is starting to shift around that a bit. I remember the 2000-2010s era having a lot of shows that were more on-the-nose about the topic and then seeing more people talking about how to properly interact with recovering alcoholics on social media in the years following.

Purely anecdotal, of course. I just get the vibe that some areas where drinking used to be very expected, have learned to treat it as a choice

I believe their point is that surveillance systems that are used to identify people are being trained on social media images and they don’t want those systems to be better. The point is not personal risk, but systemic/societal risk

I can barely be trusted with shoe laces these days tbh

(Don’t ask how)

I imagine you just couldn’t find the words at the time but I would have, with relative accuracy, summed this up as:

“Each server on that web can communicate with every other server on that web by using ‘secret’ information to determine a path to get there”

Each federated service is on its own web

I know you said simplification to the point of inaccuracy, but while I’m being pedantic:

“Each federated service is on its own web, but imagine they overlap with each other in such a way to bleed into a single web”

You answered so thoroughly that no one else has even bothered to comment on the thread in hours.

Just in case you needed an ego boost, that’s kind of nuts

I like to tell every eyeglass wearer I meet about Zenni. Your insurance may or may not cover it, but you probably won’t care because they only charge about $20 per pair of glasses unless you need bonkers lenses.

RIP Baumiandcats

He’s still alive but stopped making my comfort content. I’ll probably get into his MTG stuff at some point but I’m still recovering from him stopping playing Dota. I watched him play Dota almost my whole life

Reserved memory

Some times. This is actually where we run into one of the issues with open source software, competing standards. Some tools will call your swap or cache “reserved” regardless if it’s actually being used or not. They’re not wrong, it is reserved, but it’s reserved for usage in emergency situations rather than being reserved in the way we look at the rest of memory

Edit: I know markdown, I should not struggle with formatting this much lmao

Lemmy is a link aggregator, this guy posted a link to his website and a brief (albeit lacking, I will agree with you there) description of what the links were. I don’t see any issue promoting free content in the forms of links on a link aggregator.

I also think there’s sort of a social agreement that if you’re going to make a comment about a post that exists purely as a link to elsewhere, you should probably click the link so that you know what is being discussed instead of what we’re doing, discussing the link itself lol.
