  • Linux hits exactly 2% user share on the October 2024 Steam Survey
  • I have bazzite on my daughter's machine. I still had to enable compatibility for other titles. It's not a huge deal if you know it's there, but it can be a stumbling block for someone testing the waters.

  • What do people that are for the first time moving to a place where is snows need to know?
  • You don't need snow tires in Chicago. The streets are very well plowed and salted. Just take it slow.

  • Linux hits exactly 2% user share on the October 2024 Steam Survey
  • Valve needs to enable Proton by default.

  • Yo, I found this for 380$ should I buy it and how well does Linux run on it, if you have one of this is it a good in term of build quality
  • If it's a steal, buy it and try it. Worst case, you could turn a small profit by reselling it.

  • Our wives must know each other. Me recently: it's not useless junk! It's a CD tower NAS with 10 base t token ring capability! The guy who ran a bbs in my local calling area had one that served up Warez in 1997! I was a very early adopter of mp3. I used the original program released by the fraunhoeffer Institute to rip my friend's metallica bootlegs and upload them for extra leech credits. It would take half a day to encode 128kbps mp3 files on my non-mmx cyrix 6x86, and I could only store 1 CD worth of mp3s at a time on my 800mb hard drive. Besides, I got a really good deal on it!

  • Why self host a password manager?
  • You delicious bastard! Thanks for the rook tip.

  • Chrome Canary just killed uBlock Origin and other Manifest V2 extensions
  • I get it. Date your distro, marry your browser.

    I miss the level of customization you could do in Vivaldi, down to minute details. But I don't miss it enough to put up with ads and tracking nonsense.

    I started on Firefox back when it was a beta called Phoenix. I eventually moved to chromium based browsers like the rest of the world, but now I'm back. I've come full circle!

  • My wife didn't even notice when I turned on the pi-hole. She also told me she thinks there's a virus on her phone.

  • Chrome Canary just killed uBlock Origin and other Manifest V2 extensions
  • I made the switch from Vivaldi back to Firefox recently. I loved Vivaldi, but I'm happy with Firefox too.

  • I don't understand why underbaked borderline raw cookies are such a popular trend.
  • This is a trend? Then why all of the sudden can't I find any cookies in my local grocery stores that aren't hard as tits? This has been my cookie preference for my whole life!!

  • The Extreme Cost of Training AI Models.
  • Gas like natural gas? Or gas like gasoline? I'm sure it's the former, but I take nothing for granted anymore.

    I just discovered this guy last night and I'm in love.

    Hold your downvotes people. I can't delete this post, and it seems image uploads are still down for the instance.

    lazy Sunday smoked chicken thighs

    I smoked a bunch of boneless, skinless chicken thighs. They're quick, easy and versatile. I do a 1 hour wet brine and lightly rub with whatever I have on hand. I don't sauce, spray or even look at them until the temp probe says 170.

    I've been shredding them and serving with white sauce, but they'd work just as well serving whole with sweet baby ray's.

    The sauce (not pictured):

    my insurance stopped covering name brand vyvanse

    And guess what is on back order at every nearby pharmacy? I'll give you a hint: it's not the $300 per month name brand.

    So I guess I switch to Adderall xr tomorrow?

    my daughter's first computer

    I finally found a use for an underpowered sbc I bought during the pandemic. I put Debian base, lightdm and sugar on it. It was a fun project for me. Hopefully it introduces a lifelong love of computers.

    She already had a text to speech robot saying things like poopy, fart, butt stink and fire in the hole. The apple doesn't fall too far from the dingleberry.

    Midwestern carnival fried desserts

    The oreo was delicious as you'd expect. The brownie bite was like hot brownie batter coated in pancake, powdered sugar and caramel sauce. I will absolutely do that again.

    Mistakes were made, but it's nothing tums and laying down can't fix.

    my little gambler is in the hospital again

    I posted a picture of my little girl playing the slots yesterday. We had actually just come from an immediate care place. We told them she was starting a new UTI/kidney infection. She just got out of the hospital less than 2 weeks ago and has previous history with this problem.

    These infections go from zero to 100. She'll go from no fever to 106+ in under an hour. So we were desperate for some help yesterday. The doctor listened to our story, looked at the chart, and decided she was fine.

    Today we're back in the ER with another runaway infection. We came because we couldn't control the fever that blew up out of nowhere. She's being admitted and will be here for several days. We are exhausted and disheartened.

    my daughter came up with a plan to pay off her medical bills

    She was up $0.80 at one point, but chose to reinvest her winnings into more spins. This proved to be a strategic blunder, though, as she walked away penniless and disheartened about 15 seconds later.
