Hmm, what brand? Mine feel like they are meant for the feet, but after like a few weeks/months of walking I had holes in them. From Dilling as its the only Mulesing free brand here. So I only wear then in shoes and outdoors, when my foot want do be extra comfy
Darn Tough come with a lifetime warranty. If you get holes in them, you mail them back and they ship you a new pair. Just beware of counterfeits. I have 4 pair and will only wear them to work where I’m in boots and on my feet climbing ladders and shit for 12 hour shifts. My feet sweat a ton which used to cause red, itchy, gross feet. Now my feet are pretty normal. Is Darn Tough the only brand that works? Almost certainly not, but they also have that warranty that you seem to need. Each pair is like $20 because of that, but if you hike or work long hours on your feet, I think it’s a worthwhile investment.
I seldom wear socks during the day because I always wear sandals. But putting lotion or cream on the soles of my feet at night, with socks so I don’t slip and fall, is very good for moisturizing them. The socks also keep the moisturizer where it belongs, not on my sheets.
At my current non trades job, a few of us started working in flops and winter is weird. You get them wet then go outside and they just freeze to the ground.
The very evening I installed Linux for the first time (I think it was Ubuntu 12.04), my Wifi stick was the first major hurdle. I was a teenager, had no idea about package managers and such, but the drivers for my stick were only available in an uncompiled format, so I had to first learn what build utils and kernel dev packages were, download them and their dependencies onto the windows PC of my dad and copy them onto a CD.
After I had figured all that out (took me.a while), I learned how to compile on the fly.
After I had run ./configure and it finallyfinally ran through without error, the config script had this last line:
Configure done successfully. Now type 'make' and pray
Things have changed over the years, but they haven't changed enough.
Yep, been in the same boat 😂. Was an LTS fan for a long long time till I realized… this shit ain’t worth it 😂.
Everthing there is out there in 99% of the cases compiles against latest libraries. And well, LTS is just… lagging behind 🤷. So, you solve one lib dependcy and then, bam, another one pops up… OK, solved that one, bam, another one 😒… it just gets frustrating to compile stuff on LTS.
And then you get all sorts of errors from the package manager cuz you did the unthinkable - install latest libs on an LTS distro.
LTS is good for one thing only nowadays - servers.
Compiling starts to work rather well once you've done it a few times. Especially when you get more used to understanding what ./configure tries to tell you. You should really try to get behind that, since you Linux will
If you’re compiling something huge like Chrome, having a separate compilation stage for the build files makes sense. For a normal sized project it’s overkill.
This is a photoshop, the original from Modern Humorist said something like “when you download MP3s, you’re downloading communism” and it was attributed to the RIAA instead of Microsoft.

Well, openSUSE did it long before everyone else. So, Debian, Fedora, Arch?
I would kind of be surprised by Fedora, too, as I thought, they shipped out-of-the-box automatic snapshotting, but the comment from @bruhduh sounds like that is still a problem…
OpenSUSE does this as default, which is laudable. Mint will only use Btrfs if you manually tell it to, it just handles it gracefully once you do choose to use it.
Yeah i was surprised as well) thought automatic btrfs partitioning by fedora gui installer would suffice, but it’s not, it did not had subvolumes set after installation, so timeshift btrfs didn’t worked, after i set subvolumes timeshift started working, but after update from 38 to 39 everything broke and locked up my ssd
I’ve only had problems with wifi drivers twice, immediately after clean-installing fedora 38 on two different devices. Plugging my device into ethernet and updating fixed it instantly.
Not sure about iPhones, but I’ve used an android phone a couple times to both USB tether with data and to act as a WiFi receiver to download drivers in a pinch.
Use a second computer or a friend’s one to download the updates, get a USB ethernet adapter (a 100mbps one is like $5), put the system drive in a computer with lan, tether with another device via USB (phone, pi zero, etc) or use a different version/distro. I’m sure there are a bunch of other solutions.
I guess an ethernet to USB adapter might be your next best bet.
Alternatively, you could USB tether your phone if you have a good data plan
If you are in the unlikely event that you don’t have ethernet port to plug your device into, and no cell service, such as I was, you can use a spare wireless AP to get wifi if you’ve got one
