I agree except for Manjaro. EndeavourOS is a better Arch derivative I think. There are quite a few reasons but the one that bugs me the most is I’ve had things break because they hold back packages from upstream.

I use the Starr apps with torrents. I kinda just forget all about it since it all just works.

I was having the same problems a while back with Manjaro. Have a look at EndeavorOS. I’ve been using that for a long time now.

Yay! Welcome newcomers!

It’s all in what you think is worth it. For me, it’s my favorite genre. I have spent about $400 or maybe $500 for over 2500 hours of gaming since the beta in PoE which is way less per hour than most games I’ve paid for up front. It’s worth it to me for playing a fun game for all that time. I also don’t really think they purposely design the game to need stash tabs. It’s just what it is. Look at D4 and all the people complaining they can’t buy more. They obviously didn’t design it like that. It’s just that type of game.

Bottom line for me is I haven’t spent money in that game in years and still play every league because everything I ever bought is still there and will be in PoE2 as well from what they say. I wonder about the tabs…

I gave away my air pod pros to a coworker because of a buzzing sound on one of them. He brought them in a week later said one of his buddies took it apart and fixed it. Sure enough. Some people are just good at that stuff.

They did mention stable, which is not something Manjaro can claim in my experience. They tend to hold back packages in the name of stability but it causes problems when using the AUR sometimes.

I’ve read the books and still enjoy the show. So if you like that sort of thing, yep.

Holy shit. You have problems. Full stop.

All great points.

I used to like to tinker on my phones but I got out of the habit. Android is better for that. The only other thing I would add is when I had Android phones (up until about 3 years ago and been using them since the late 2010s) I was always looking forward to that next upgrade time. The phone was slowing down or other issues that would crop up like that. Updates would stop coming and we’re slow to begin with. My company buys my phones now. So I got my first iPhone just over 3 years ago cause that is what they provide. We are allowed to get one every two years. I went past my 2 year upgrade and never even noticed. My boss had to tell me to upgrade a few months past the 2 year mark to get it into the current year budget. I would have happily kept using the original. Worked just like the day I got it. My kid uses it now. Still gets updates.

Sorry. That was a bit more text than I intended hehe.

I can wait for this game. Not really because I can have bear sex. Not my cup of coffee. But because the possibility is there. I wonder what else we’ll find with romance or otherwise. It was a fun showcase to watch.

It’s $10/y and a steal for that excellent software. I pay it and self host it just to support them.

Aliens I tell ya! Fascinating.

I find EndeavorOS (Arch) to be very reliable. I use it with KDE. Gnome can be good too for a minimalistic style that doesn’t change much.

Still playing Forbidden West. I’ll probably finish soon. I don’t have a ton of time to play but I’m about 110 hours into it.

Bitwarden. Works with autofill too.

That would be a weird statement to make. But that’s not really what I said. At all.

You got this! I am 41 and just over two years smoke free. I tried all sorts of things to quit over the years. In the end it was cold turkey that did it. Good luck!

I’m aware. So is Bitwarden if you don’t use their web vault, which KeepassXC does not have. Keepass can use a cloud drive to sync multiple devices whereas Bitwarden requires a self hosted instance to sync. Personally I would rather trust my own hosted instance over that of a cloud provider. But that all depends on your threat model and who you’re willing to trust. Having used both I personally prefer self hosted Bitwarden.

Bitwarden is all of those things. Unless you use their web vault, then it’s $10/year. Which keepassxc does not have.

I can’t disagree with you on that. But I did feel that even when it slowed down (especially after the gripping episode 3) they still gave me enough to keep me satisfied and intrigued.

::: spoiler spoiler I know! Is Jules going to start smashing mirrors? It kinda makes the most sense. Right now where can she hide? Going to need to get tons of people to smash a lot of mirrors to keep from being found. :::

Linux Mint is a good one to try out for starters. It is Ubuntu based so most of the time if you have an issue you can find tons on it in the Ubuntu help searches.

As for a browser, Firefox is likely pre installed and pretty excellent. All major browsers have a Linux client.

For gaming, steam had great support for windows games running on Linux. There is also Lutris and Heroic launcher which all have support for running games under a comparability layer.

Good luck and have fun!

Just finished Metro Exodus. I think I’m going to dive into Assassins Creed Origins next.

It’s awesome what the JWST can do. I can’t wait to hear more about the Trappist planets. A lot of that is over my head but I find it exciting to read anyway.

Ouch! Is that comparable in your area, or your only choice? I use Spectrum (only choice here) and it’s $60 for 300 down and 20 up.

I know they exist. I think you’re missing what I’m saying.

Bitwarden is fully free and self hostable. That is how I use it. Bitwarden needs a self hosted webserver. KeePass can use only a cloud provider or self hosted cloud storage and also set up a web vault.

With Bitwarden, if you don’t want that hassle you can use their webvault they host. You cannot do that with keepass. That is what costs the $10/year.

Point is, both are good software that do things a bit differently. I liked KeePass, but I found Bitwarden to do what I wanted better, which was easily sync my passwords across devices without the hassle of self hosting something like Nextcloud. A quick docker container and I’m good.

Maybe some people are fine with keepass and something like Dropbox for sync. And maybe others don’t want to use a public cloud server but also don’t know how or want to host their own instance of a a password manager or cloud server. So they can use something like Bitwarden’s webvault instead, which is free except for TOTP.

Try mounting them. What is the dd command you’re using?

Now, depending on your threat model maybe a drill and a sledgehammer will be enough. If your threat model is rather high and it is really sensitive data, well you’ll have to spend that money if you can’t get zeros written.

I didn't read the books. But now I want to as good as the show is. I have a friend that is doing both at the same time the silly man. Excellent show all around.
