Woah, thank you for this. I’ve wanted to learn more about torrenting and how music files work anyway so actually sitting down and needing to study for this is a big plus.

This is what summer does to a fella

Potash…potash is forever. I can never escape my dark past.

Brian Eno has always been based and continues to be. He signed a letter calling for an Israeli boycott because of the apartheid in 2006. Plus he makes great music.

I do change my pillowcases every couple of days. Unfortunately I don’t have a bath or sauna.

I haven’t been cleaning my razor and need to buy a new blade. This answer was very helpful, thank you.

Didn’t realize that hot water can cause irritation. I’ll try doing it cold.

I’m younger so my facial hair is not fully developed yet and I don’t wanna have a pubestash

I am from the US South and have been asked if I’m from Ireland because of my accent. It’s crazy how off some people are with guessing.

Do I need to have elevated network permissions to do that? I don’t have admin access on my WiFi network and it is shared with a lot of people.

The hardware switch looks promising. Are there any decent ones for under $50 out there or are they usually a big investment?

I’m thinking use it to host a Minecraft or matrix server. I’m not expierenced with networking so nothing super advanced.

Might change if you get a VPN and change servers. I’m assuming that the suggested accounts are based on location.

I completely forgot about repositories in F-Droid. This is very helpful, thank you.

I’m curious, why do you use that over a VPN?

Same. Seems like YouTube is back on their anti VPN and frontend spree which will inevitability have a workaround and then they’ll be at it again. It’s cyclical at this point.

I’ll look into it. Thanks.

Edit: it’s not on f-droid :/

Wait, what? How does that work?

You don’t actually have to have a beefy computer to self host. I know with deepseek there’s a 1.5b model which is optimized for low end hardware. I self hosted it on a desktop from 2012 and it worked alright. 8gb RAM, i5 processer, quad core. Was the GPU usage high? Yep. Still worked tho.

I’m not a programmer or coder and I’ve been using Linux for about a year. It’s been really user friendly after I figured out what distros are and which one to choose. I highly recommend Linux Mint Debian Edition. It’s worked quite well for me and was not a huge jump from windows because the user interface is similar. All you need to install it is a thumb drive.

I like playing games on steam and haven’t had any issues. There’s this really cool website called protondb where you can search steam game compatibility with Linux. For the few that aren’t compatible, oftentimes people share fixes which usually consists of copy pasting stuff on there.
