Had this issue once, 2 drives kept not initializing during boot, rebooting a few times got them to register but showed drive errors. I thought either the drives or my SAS card was dying. Fully reseating the connectors fixed it and haven’t had an issue since.

Back in the day I loved seeing what people would do on that other site, /r/photoshopbattles. Lots of good shops from there rattling around in my memes folder.

You don’t need the new Black Ops when Black Ops 3’s modding community is very lively with some great fan made zombies maps and modes. Definitely check them out if you haven’t already

I just finished Bojack last week. I watched through season 3 before but dropped Netflix and never got around to finishing it. I basically binged the whole show and as much as I’d hate to give Netflix any money, I’d buy a full series blu-ray in a heartbeat.

Lemme get uhhhhhh

I’ll have uhhhh

I’ll take the hair growing out of you head contain your lost thoughts and memories, you gotta eat your hair to remember

Same with classic rock stations, I swear to fucking god Boston’s 100.7 plays Turn the Page by Bob Seger or Metallica’s cover daily at like 7:45am. That’s usually followed by one of 3 AC/DC songs then 10-15 minutes of commercials since iHeartRadio bought them a while ago.

House I used to own was built in 1958, but the house I’m currently renting an apartment in was built in 1890. The apartment itself was added in 2020, and I’m it’s first tenant.

Yeah lots of houses super old around here, especially at the old mills area. My buddy lives in Uxbridge near one of the lakes, funny enough I’m a few towns away. Small world, Lemmy.

Had this problem too (phone number is from NM but I’m in MA now) so I just started messing with them. I’d answer “Federal Bureau of Investigation, Albuquerque district office, how may I direct your call?” Click. After about a week of doing this I haven’t gotten a single spam call, this was like 2 years ago. Who cares it it’s “impersonating a federal agency” or whatever, they’re scammers overseas, fuck em.

The first rule of Project Mayhem is you do not ask questions, sir.

Now that I have more experience with Linux yeah I’ve gained some skills, still just scratching the surface though. TrueNAS just worked for me, maybe just due to my simple use case as a Plex server/ light network storage.

KDE Plasma has been great for me since it (as well as Cinnamon on my Mint system) are close to the Windows ecosystem I’ve been used to for decades, so it makes sense for me. Having KDE Connect out of the box helps move ROMs from my desktop to my Steam Deck without having a dingle dongle adapter for a flashdrive, works kinda like AirDrop in my experience. Pus I like the way it looks out of the box, except for the floating taskbar which I immediately locked to the bottom of the screen.

At some point I’ll setup Syncthing and automate that process for keeping game states synced up as well.

Fair, like I said I’m not smart so I was only following a YouTube tutorial on how to install Arch, first time the guy was using Gnome which I didn’t like so I had to find another that showed KDE. All those experiments and even the Plex server setup were built alongside YT tutorials and an IT friend who also has a Plex server helping me with upgrades when I needed to add a SAS card for additional drives.

I’ve honestly just been winging it here lmao

Care to explain? I run TrueNAS because it was the easiest for me to setup at the time. I’m not smart and it was a simple and free solution. Plex because Jellyfin wasn’t where it is now, but also because again, I’m not smart and I have family outside my network use the server. Setting up wire guard and all that makes my brain hurt, let alone getting my mother to understand how to connect to Jellyfin.

Already engaged 👈😎👈

I’m a masochist, not only have I installed Arch from CLI several times, I’ve attempted running GPU passthrough to a Windows VM on several different distros just to play like 3 games that only run on Windows.

I attempted this through a fresh build of Arch, 7800 XT for the Linux system and an RTX 3090 for the VM. Every attempt in hijacking the 3090 failed, refusing to not load the card on boot. I struggled with this for hours and days, and through multiple different distros, all while my gf pretended to understand what the fuck I was talking about. “Ok, honey, I’ll be in the living room watching my shows.”

This went on for a while until I decided to give up and just build a second system dedicated for MichaelSoft Bindows.

When my Plex server had a botched TrueNAS update, this effected her as well. Not only were there shows she was watching on there, but she had to endure a week of me copying my media from different drives to rebuild the server on every piece of storage I had in the apartment. I’d come home from work and immediately continue working on it. Computers left on overnight with little progress bars slowly filling up. She’d call me into the kitchen for dinner or ask me to come to bed at 1am when we both had to be up at 6am.

She was actually supportive, maybe a little annoyed, but supportive nonetheless. Everything has now worked as intended for over a year and she even uses our home theater PC running Mint with no complaints or hiccups. Soon I will convince her to move her gaming PC to Linux as well, in due time though.

Xubuntu brought a garbage Vista era system to usable levels for me for a dumb video I made a while ago, wasn’t fast but definitely usable.

Baby: costs thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars over a minimum of 18 years

Monitor: shows memes and games, costs a few hundred dollars for a good one, one time purchase

Obviously the child is the stupid financial decision

10mm socket, commonly known by mechanics to be the single most lost tool on the planet. Most cars use them a lot, but they’re always nowhere to be found

Actually I had an issue where trying to sign into my samba share caused explorer.exe to crash constantly, running sfc /scannow fixed it surprisingly. Glad that’s on my “these programs only work on Windows” system.

Or use ADB and remove them, that’s what I did with all the Samsung and Google junk in this phone.
