Ah, that makes sense. I thought they were talking about laptop, desktop, kids computer, tablet, etc. and was like ¿...? Linux works next to everything better than anything else.
Anyway, I see what you mean. I got a temperature monitor that needed to be set up using their proprietary software that they only made for Windows, wine didn't work so I actually ended up setting up a tiny win 10 VM so I could set it up. Easier and safer than dual booting with Windows around. Besides that though, I've always been able to find a workaround.
I do similar, except nextcloud and backups beyond just syncing. I fear something corrupting my database and that syncing immediately through all my devices.
Your role models are your own. If you aren't modeling your behavior after your parents, then they aren't your role models, straight up. You may model certain behaviors from them, but not others.
Break it down a smidge. What role are you modeling? If you had a really good teacher in the past, and you use how they taught you to teach someone else, they are the role model for you when teaching someone, but they aren't your role model for something like how to treat your partners.
That's the neat thing about being your own person. You get to be who you want, treat people how you want. Your role models are who you want them to be. I would caution against being an asshole, though. Don't model asshole behavior.
EDIT: Wow! thanks for all the detailed and super quick replies! I've been reading all the comments here and am concluding that (even though I am currently running only one service) it might be interesting to start using Docker to run all (future) services seperately on the server!
This is pretty much what I've started doing. Containers have the wonderful benefit that if you don't like it, you just delete it. If you install on bare metal (at least in Linux) you can end up with a lot of extra packages getting installed and configured that could affect your system in the future. With containers, all those specific extras are bundled together and removed at the same time without having any effect on your base system, so you're always at your clean OS install.
I will also add an irritation with docker containers as well, if you create something in a container that isn't kept in a shared volume, it gets destroyed when starting the container again. The container you use keeps the maintainers setup, for instance I do occasional encoding of videos in a handbrake container, I can't save any profiles I make within that container because it will get wiped next time I restart the container since it's part of the container, not on any shared volume.
Its actually the "went to church, talented white folk there", posted by "fren", somehow they learned random old dude was "88" which has no bearing on the story and isn't usually something that comes up in short conversations, and the "I was like
<common behavior from easily influenced person>
before I did these things"
It gives recruitment/fishing vibes to me. If 100 people read it and 99 see ADHD and move on, but 1 person asks them how they could also feel good about themselves, boom, one more Nazi recruit. That's how dog whistles work. You toss an innocuous thing like "88" in your story, it let's those in the know that you're part of the team and you're on the job.
I can forgive the ram decision, they're producing laptops that can be upgraded in the future to keep them from becoming waste, not upgraded using old equipment now.
I actually do have 2230 ssds laying around. I bought a few used computers on eBay to use as servers that had 128gb versions of these little shits in them that I had assumed were 2.5" not m.2. Wouldn't use them in a new laptop for me, but it's plenty enough for a school laptop or device that isn't storing data on that particular drive.
I'm not going to rag on them for going with this form factor, because they are very conscious about their designs, but it isn't like it's hard to accommodate a range of m.2 sizes. You just need a little hole you can screw the mounting...screw into. Like, maybe you can't fit a 2280 in there, but from what I've seen 2242 is more common than 2230.
If it helps, those cringe moment you have of something you did in the past? That means you've grown past it. You're able to see that behavior in yourself and recognize it as a cringey moment because you're a better person than you were then. Yeah, it sucks to have those, but take it as an indicator that you're doing just fine.
I'm pretty sure Putin played his narcissistic ass like a fiddle in the attempt to destabilize the US in order to win in Ukraine, and it's paid off so much more than he ever dreamed.
Sorry to say, this area is absolutely nothing like southern California. The largest populated area in the county is a village of 300 or so people. If you blink driving by, you'll miss it.
That said, they could slightly adjust their lifestyle and be just fine. Wolves are more important.
