I run a Pi400 every now and then… It’s not setting any speed records, and starts to lag out after 10 tabs, but it runs all day on an external phone battery. There’s the odd app that nobody bothered porting to ARM, but I have more trouble with Arm Windows than Arm Linux.

I had a pinebook 1080p, same exact experience. Fine, not fantastic, good battery life. It keeled over and died after a year though.

Spacey ruined so much…

Yes, actually! Not so much gaming, but it seems like I’ll be surfing or whatever, and then… Dialup speed for a few seconds… Then normal again. My router is about 15’ away, just upstairs. Hmmm… I dual boot the laptop, I’ll see if it’s just Fedora.

Umm… Where are you? Half my circle of friends are near panic about the fact that half of our country is now on fire every summer…

I’m a meatietarian. I love a good burger. I do, however, also love planet Earth. My first impossible burger experiment was awful. The restaurant didn’t cook the damn thing! Was like, “Well, that was a disappointment!” Several years later, A&W had a deal on their veggie burger, and it was great! (A&W Canada, so don’t complain to me if they run it in the States.) Ask me to switch to those burgers in exchange for not dying of heat death or mass fire in the next five to ten? Yeah, sold.

Ahh, I see. Someone else mentioned portainer, that has a lot of “click to do bleh” functions. Might be what the doctor ordered. You could also put the command in a bash script, like restart.sh and then it’ll show up with an ls.

I Tailscale in to my home network, and then from one of the machines I’m the network, I can ssh in (or whatever.)

If you’re using mint and can’t find help with a specific problem online, mint is really closely related to Ubuntu. So, hypothetically, “Wifi issues Ubuntu” might give you help where “Wifi issues mint” comes up empty. Also, if you dual boot, turn off fast start-up on the windows side. It messes things up.

We don’t. Burritos exist.

Dad joke time: Mostly the Aussies!

I use Cantook on my phone and skip the account setup. I convert Kobo books and other ebooks using Calibre to Epub. I like Cantook because there’s a setting to use the volume buttons to turn pages.

CoMaps works almost, but not quite, as well as Google Maps in my chunk of Canada. Might be worth trying? I believe it is based on the OSM data.

Well, since my wife told me to change the kitty litter… The Shinkansen runs at speeds of up to 320km/h…

Framework 13 here, KDE Fedora user too. It literally never occurred to me that I could use the fingerprint to log in! Commenting so that whoever answers you can make my day too.

Unrelated mini-rant. I had an assignment to write a couple of pages about the logical fallacies evident in the movie shown by one of the jurors, but not number eight. Number eight did have a lot of confirmation bias. I asked if I could write that, and my instructor just went “Sure, go ahead. I’ll be able to give you a zero in the first paragraph and it’ll save me a ton of time making!” This was in a unit called “open-mindedness.” Ty, you’re an ass-hat. Also, a shit teacher!

I have a Windows 11 VM running in Proxmox. It works fine. I put a desktop with a Windows license in the cluster, passed the hardware ID into the VM, it didn’t work, so I hollered at an MS rep for a bit and they activated it for me. I don’t use it for much, but it works.

Well, I think you should’ve splurged for a slightly better keyboard…

That’s a surprisingly complicated question! If you post the playback info, that might help. Also, what are you hosting Jellyfin on, what OS, environment, gpu? Do the same videos pay back clean in VLC? Does the computer posting back the media have scaling, or a weird OS? I have my Jellyfin in a Proxmox container and had all kinds of issues when passing a (very old) GPU through, but without it I can’t get 4k. I have more than a few movies where I manually re-encoded them before putting them on Jellyfin and kept the source file zipped up for storage.

My local library has career coaches. They go over results, do mock interviews, but the career coach at my library? He’s a straight up headhunter, and he gets the best walk-ins referred to HR at companies that fit. I had a buddy who was four months unemployed, suggested he talk to the career coach, and dude got him a job in less than two weeks. Also, maybe look at non-profits in your area, might have volunteer or low-paid psych jobs that can get a foot in the door.

My parents lived in a part of the world where they didn’t always have phones. Dad lived on a farm, mom lived in town. School together, Church together. After school, Dad would go “help around the house” at mom’s. Or vice versa. Once they got old enough, one or the other would go to the city in the family car for shopping, and bring the other with. Go see a movie, grab a bite to eat together.
