Hey that’s super helpful, I really appreciate it! Thank you! I haven’t checked in on the project(s) in quite a while. :)

My “trick” with this is to mv files I’m very sure I want to be “deleting” into /tmp . If it instantly turns out to be a mistake, I can pull it back. Else, it gets purged on reboot.

This is usually A-okay for my home server since it reboots so rarely! A desktop machine might give you a little less time to reconsider. But it at least solved the “trash is using 45% of my hard disk now” issue haha.

In the very worst case scenario there’s the “Drop everything and run photorec / testdisk” as a last resort!

Minecraft is still the hardest thing to host lol

I’m actually considering hosting a Luanti / “MineTest” server for this experience, since my wife lost her Minecraft account / key thingy since the time we played in beta ages ago haha.

I wonder if it’s any easier to host or not. 🤔

Mint was my first serious move to Linux too! It’s so user friendly and clean.

I’ve been running OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with an Nvidia GPU for quite a few years now on my gaming / 3D art rig though, and I’ve really enjoyed it. My Win10 partition has been dormant and shrunk for a very long time. :D

Just make sure you stick with the default of using BTRFS at least on root, to get that snapshot rollback support!

For being such an up to date distro, it’s ridiculously stable. Usually issues I’ve had have been Nvidia problems, but I’ve been able to roll back until they resolved. Things have definitely gotten much better over time.

Wayland has also matured wonderfully and things like multi monitor setups with different refresh rates work just fine these days.

Totally get what you mean about KDE too, I really enjoy how much easy customization it has!

Hope you enjoy it as much as I have!

they gobble up insane amounts of RAM to provide almost the same functionality as in 2010.

Critical to using our service? Maybe even an operating system?

ELECTRON APP!

Not 100% relevant but it was in my collection and I thought it was close enough to be funny. :D

Me too! Haven’t had my coffee yet. I was like

“… character…? Charisma…? (blink blink)”

Debian? :p

“I heard them say we’ve reached Morrowind. I’m sure they’ll let us go.”

Morrowind will always be wonderful to return to. I miss all the awesome player house mods. OpenMW has been so AWESOME.

The huge gap between “obsolete” versus “legacy”

Hahaha gottem XD

…and then add a sticky note below it:

“And then Einstein and Obama and Jobs were there and everybody clapped they were so shocked!”

“Everybody knows you can have it done well, fast, or cheap. Pick two.”

“No! All three! All the time! Zero drawbacks! All profits and benefits! I am a very good and visionary boss. Have some room temperature Little Caesar’s on the house and make me rich.”

Ah yes, the upcoming McAndroid Sundae is gonna be using this language, actually!

Right on. This fellow libraries. :D

Yes! Very important!

I remember it being a bit trendy to turn old laptops into desktops by just unplugging the display and plugging peripherals into them, but people were finding that the keyboard actually was designed as another heat escape, so running them with the lids closed wasn’t so great!

Holy coconuts it REALLY DOES! That’s some weapons grade level snark right here LOL. Wow that “controversies” section…

Honestly great move to immortalize when fascist strongmen act “weird” and embarass themselves to the world by sharing their true thoughts.

I thought Link Time Optimization usually involved at least an ocarina…

From the genius and his whipped minions that brought you MechaHitler after some “fixes and improvements”…

…Comes the same AI that offers to “fix your code.”

Wow. Simply astounding. A magnificent feat indeed, to waste so many finite precious resources over such garbage.

Kindly Ctrl+A and shift-delete “All your code files”, sir.
