jumping won’t impress her

Unless it’s jump humping.

Was the transition into management easy for you, or was it a slow acceptance?

“Could not fetch embedded watch page”

Some thoughts:

Ubuntu, most likely

I’d encourage you to take a look at Linux Mint, it alleviates some of the Ubuntu fuckiness. And if you want to join the “I use arch btw” crowd, maybe checkout EndeavourOS if you’re feeling more brave than just Ubuntu variants (which is built on arch, but makes barrier to entry a little easier).

i9s are the latest hotness but don’t think the price is worth it

Take a look at last generation to soften the blow to your wallet. E.g., instead of looking at a 14900k, look at 13 or even 12 series. In fact, this is a useful strategy all around if you’re being price conscious: go one gen older.

GPU that can support some sort of ML/AI with DisplayPort

Probably going to want to go with a discrete card, rather than just integrated. Other major consideration is going to be nvidia vs AMD, for which you’ll need to decide if CUDA should be part of your calculus or not. I’ll defer to any data science engineers that might wander through this post.

The rest of your reqs pretty much come as regular stock options when building a pc these days. Though another nicety for my latest builds, is multi-gig nics (though 2.5Gb was my ceiling, since you’ll also need the network gear to utilize it). Going multi-gig is nice for pushing around a fuckton of data between machines on my lan (including a NAS).

Very last thing that I’ve found helpful in my last 3 builds spanning 15 years: I use newegg for its reviews of items, specifically so I can search for the term “linux” in any given product’s reviews. Often times I can glean quick insight on how friendly (or not) hardware has been for other’s linux builds.

And I lied, I just remembered about another linux hardware resource: https://linux-hardware.org/?view=search

You can see other people that have built with given hardware. Just remember to do a scan too once your build is up to pay it forward.

Good luck, and remember to have fun!

This is a Wendy’s, sir.

Air force prescribes amphetamines for pilots doing really long bomb runs, so there’s that.

Is it less intrusive

For me it is, I would’ve never ever expected an ad on cli, on a local install, on my machine.

Logged into an ec2 and see an advert? Sure. But not on my own shit. It’s a true “ah fuck I can’t believe you’ve done this” factor.

Here’s my last one, I’m pretty fucking boring:

Unity DE

I’d say that’s where you took a wrong turn, but really it was installing Ubuntu in the first place. I’ve given nameless crackheads a dollar that I trust more than Canonical.

She was visiting from Canada, too.

I use namecheap for a ton of my domains, but I use them only as a registrar. All of my hosting is done on other providers (aws, digitalocean, linode, etc.).

This means I’ve got access to my hosts’ machines via command line, and so can setup up certbot really easily. Though going with a self-managed host also means you’ll need to have some technical proficiency to take care of things yourself. But to me, that’s part of the fun.

Well you don’t want your ass took, at least not without permission.

What if that returns just an alias?

But really the best way would be first to try one’s distro manager to uninstall/purge the package. Unless it was just manually installed by the user.

Oh, maybe that’s it! It only exists in ~/bin, and OP is having a psychotic break, is just now finding out about their split personality!

python -V

What the actual fuck

No, it’s just a confirmation that the app is indeed built on electron, and not native.

And is that a problem? Depends.

Yes, and at least there’s no more ms activex bullshit to fail either (looks like S. Korea finally got rid of it 3 years ago too).
