Do you folks in Burgerland still have those two prongs that screw into the back of your TV? We’ve always used round coax here in the UK.

Just like me. I’m a fat bald guy with a huge beard which I always thought I was the Linux stereotype. But yea, I enjoy seeing cute socks with Neofetches in my feed.

Certainly gets me going.

Set up a bunch of self hosted apps on my pi 4 (Nextcloud is erm, next) to completely end my reliance on public cloud.

Use the Grocy instance I already have on that pi to plan recipes and eat healthy (after gorging myself like a drunken pig between now and new year’s day.)

This weekend’s job though, set up a quick ‘n’ dirty torrent box/ NAS with an old laptop for festive movie watching before building a better solution out of an old desktop once I have the cash sometime around summer.

He doesn’t know how to use the three seashells!

I’d say meth would give a more accurate experience.

Yup, I get out of bed and stumble to the kitchen to pour myself a cup of ambition that’s already pre-made for me.

Is it the best tasting coffee in the world? No. Does it wake me the hell up super fast and clean out the pipes? Oh you bet it does.

Damn, got me. Debian user, been using a basic Cuisinart bean to cup for years.

The heating element broke in my original machine earlier this year. Bought a used one of the exact same model with a broken water reservoir cover and carafe lid then transplanted those parts from my old machine.

Plan to use Debian unless it stops being developed or I die. Plan to use my Thinkpad until it dies. Also plan to use that same model of bean to cup machine unless I can’t find replacements when they inevitably die.

Does anybody here use a Linux Lemmy client? I’ve tried Lemoa which seems to only let you sign into a single instance at a time and Lemonade which just didn’t work for me. I’m on Debian 12 if anyone has any advice about Lemonade or any other suggestions. Might give Neon Modem a try.

Ah yes, the NES version of the Kobayashi Maru

Pretty accurate. Heard someone describe Debian as “boring Arch” the other days and it’s pretty accurate. Whilst the base system is still fairly useable it’s still pretty bare bones and it seems like most Debian users will tweak it slightly to their liking and just stick with it. Been me for the past few years

My Aunt bought a new laptop to run her eBay/Facebook selling business on. She’s not particularly techy but has used Windows machines for admin work for prob 20 years or so. Laptop had no office apps installed and she tracks everything in a spreadsheet. Original plan was to install Libreoffice but it was running some budget version of Windows 10 you can’t install anything on, can’t remember what it’s called. So I installed Fedora. Chromium and Libreoffice Calc open on login, her ancient HP printer works, she’s able to access her camera as USB mass storage when she lists items and unattended upgrades are enabled. That was 2 years ago, no problems since.
