Yep. He’ll remember it forever. I don’t think I can untrain anything now.

What do you do if your cat tries wake you up by biting paper, turning on lights, and opening/closing cabinets?

Asking for myself. It’s been 15 years without a good solution…

That’s awesome! I’ve also had pretty good luck with gaming. The one thing I haven’t figured out how to fix yet is streaming to discord. If a game is running through the proton layer, discord doesn’t identify the game (I think the application gets called steamapp+random numbers), and I’m not sure how to direct it to it. Other than that, just some minor tweaking here or there.

I don’t know yet either. I’m only at the “idea” phase for that one and not quite ready to move on it yet. It seems like such a common need that there must be a few open source projects out there, I assume.

I’ve briefly considered putting videos in their own category in Jellyfin, just for simplicity’s sake. Not sure if it handles photos too or if I would even want to try that though.

I started with PopOS in September (?), ultimately replacing Windows on every PC in the house. It’s been going well. I’ve had to troubleshoot a few things, the biggest of which being a boot failure, but that turned out to be hardware related, not Linux’s fault. Feeling like I own my computer again is great.

Since then, I’ve gotten into self-hosting and now have a NAS, a Debian Jellyfin server, and a ton of storage space. Right now I’m just backing up basic stuff for the family, as well as streaming movies/shows/music within the house. I’ve ripped so many old DVDs and CDs in the past few months…

Next steps will probably be: books, audiobooks, and archiving family photos/videos in a way that is easier to browse than just files on a hard drive. I will likely de-google eventually.

In short, I’m having fun and should’ve done this a long time ago.

Zuck does do a good blank stare.

I think a lot of people would enjoy it if they gave it a chance. I wish I had sooner.

I changed one of my PCs over to Debian this month, and I was surprised at how smooth it is. I guess I was expecting it to be way more barebones. I don’t know if I need more than this!

I almost used this godzilla gif to illustrate my point instead. Maybe you’ll enjoy it more.

I have to admit that I love the “pacman” pun quite a bit, which is nearly enough by itself to convince me to try it. One day. Maybe.

I’m only 4 months into Linux, and apt is my comfort zone. Checking out other distros that use something else has me running away like:

So many features!

Did some searching, and I think this is the original article, but with the headline changed:

You weren’t supposed to see that.

It’s been a big misunderstanding in the history books all these years!

Ha, nice. I had just been digitizing my physical media lately, and I found this DVD. I thought “It’s been 20 years, surely someone has made this joke before, but what the hell”

My fixation this morning is:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Copper_complex

Apparently there were some people making tools out of copper around the Great Lakes as far back as the Archaic Period?? (8000-1000 BC)

I have to find a good source to read about this, because I’ve never heard about it before, and that’s insane.

That’s the guy

I just got this error for the first time yesterday and was briefly confused. I didn’t realize that you don’t automatically get sudo privileges when you set up an admin account on every distro.

This happened to me too a few years ago, and I’m also quite a calm person, so it caught me by surprise.

It was 6 months or so after becoming a father, and my best guess is that the sleep deprivation was messing with my head. It stopped and I’ve been fine since.
