“Git is to github what porn is to pornhub”

I have exactly zero experience in what work a law office does, but I would think it’s mostly paperwork and email? If so you can do that at no startup costs.

Pick a distro (pop, mint, whatever), and install libreoffice or one of its many variants for offfice integration.

A common misconception is that linux involves a lot of coding. Sure, it can if you want to - all the hooks for programatical access are there, for example if you want to build shell scripts for automation. But you don’t need to. It’s just an option many linux users, myself included, like to take advantage of.

When it comes to convincing you, all I can say is this: It costs you nothing to try.

After mostly playing BG3 lately, I’m now back to Factorio. I figured that since my angelbob mainbuss save passed 1GB, it was time to start something new, so I decided to give Space Exploration a go. I hope to have it completed by the time the space expansion for Factorio is released.

I’m sure many petrol heads enjoy fine tuning combustion and make sure the suspension is tailored 100% to their neighborhood roads and all… but sometimes they just need a car with which to pick up some groceries.

Two decades here as well. And I run mint.

Had issue with my storage recently, and the symptom was similar to what OP described. Syslog didn’t reveal anything, as the root filesystem was read only, so troubleshooting it was hard. Coincidentally I needed a newer kernel, and after the upgrade the problem disappeared.

As much as I despise CNN and NYtimes, I have to agree that they’re miles better than many of their peers, and while flawed they’re usually factually on point. I just wish they weren’t as easily swayed by owners and institutions who have vested interest in which stories are run, and which aren’t.

No. Nothing good can ever come from increasing activity there.

Seconding mint. Been using it on my gaming PCs since 2015 or so, including my brand new one.

I’ll probably give it a go, then, if I need to reinstall.

I would’ve jumped on this instantly, but I finally landed on a Min21 configuration that works well. New laptop => new hardware => need new nvidia driver => need new kernel.

Which kernel does LMDE currently ship with?

One word: reVanced

More words: No need to thank me. Thank the developers instead.

Big muscular bare chested military men.

You will get that on airplanes anyways

I remember seeing some chatter about tunneling over XMPP. Most plane wifi allows chat protocols, and it should be possible to encapsulate your traffic as ascii text in XMPP packets. You “just” need to set up the endpoints to do the bridging.

Of I were to do it, I’d run a a script that sets up a tun/tap interface that everything else on my laptop will communicate through. This script also connects to my xmpp server at home. Any data coming in on the tun/tap is encoded to ascii strings and sent as chat messages to my xmpp server. The same script can also do the reverse. At home a similar script does, mirroring that on my laptop. Make sure prerouting is set up accordingly in both ends.

From what I’ve seen on planes, it’s mostly down to captive portals using mac addresses to track clients. In theory it should also be able to sneak through by spoofing hardware addresses of someone who’s paid for the service.

I’ll let Randall Munroe decide that himself, considering the fact that he provides URLs for hotlinking below the comics
