Whenever I have a really bad day at work my husband will play Slammin Salmon to cheer me up.

I could never get my bluetooth microphone to work under Linux, and I was having to input my password many times every day just to accomplish simple tasks. Couldn’t even make the password into a PIN, that wasn’t allowed for some reason.

If you’re talking about using sudo you can edit your sudoers file to make it so that whenever you use sudo in a terminal session you don’t have to use the password for the remainder of that session. It’s not an immediately obvious solution to most people so I’m not saying this to downplay your experience by any means, just letting people know this stuff is changeable

Skill issue.

Kidding lol. It sounds like you just picked a bad distro. I run EndeavourOS and I can make 1 character pins if I want.

THB, in What movie did you rewatch most often?

Raiders of the Lost Ark, Mad Max: Fury Road, A Knight’s Tale, Tokyo Godfathers, Life Aquatic.

I’ve seen them all at least 5-10 times fully and probably more times partially. It’s definitely a wide spectrum, and one of them is not what you would call a “good” movie compared to the others. I’ll let you decide which, but I’m hella not ashamed.

SpooneyOdin,

+1 for Mad Max: Fury Road. It’s such a great movie! I’ve put it on multiple times thinking I just want to re-watch one scene and it just sucks me in.

TheButtonJustSpins, in What movie did you rewatch most often?

When I was a kid, Mrs. Doubtfire and The Santa Clause. I don’t rewatch movies as often as an adult.

tom, in Those who tried Linux and went back to Windows, what caused you to go back to Windows?

Programmer and big Linux fan here. I use Linux for multiple servers/vm’s. For a while I also had Linux on my desktop and using a Windows VM with PCI-passtrough for gaming. It works. However I came to the conclusion I was only using the PC for gaming (on the VM), and doing all my programming on my MacBook. So basically the Linux part on my desktop was just useless. Although I want to, I don’t have any use cases for Linux on the desktop.

Edit: I do have a steamdeck. Love the thing!

KobeForAccuracy, in In which game did you spend the most hours?

Nioh 2. The more you play it, the more there is to do

Peter Jackson’s lord of the rings trilogy extended edition. I bought a 4k tv and bluray player just for the 4k release last summer I think it was. (not the shitty hobbit)

TeaHands,

We do an extended edition marathon at least twice a year, sometimes more if it’s been a tough time. Last time we watched them was the week before getting married, to distract me from my stress.

I’m currently rereading the books and once that’s done we’ll do our first marathon as marrieds! 😄

I simultaneously hate to think, and also am very proud, of how many times we must have seen them by now.

roostopher, in Best options for Non-Google cloud storage as of 2022?

One thing to keep in mind with something like Syncthing is where the physical location of the other machine(s) is. The nice thing about cloud storage is that your data is in an entirely different geographic region, so if there’s a hurricane, flood, fire, etc. your data is still safe. That being said, I use Google drive at the moment so I’ll also be keeping an eye on this post for alternatives.

PeachMan,
@PeachMan@lemmy.one avatar

Right, if you’re relying on self-hosted storage you need an offsite backup. Backblaze is cheap.

WigglingWalrus,

Similar boat to you. The “perk” of using Google Drive, is that I use it for everything else so it keeps everything in the same place for me.

MigratingtoLemmy, in How do you cheer yourself up after a rough day? Or a rough year?

I sit and feel horrible about myself, mentally punishing myself for all of the mistakes. About an hour or two later, my mind gives up, and I become pragmatic.

Gibbyson, in What movie did you rewatch most often?

SWAT. Only because we didn’t have cable and we couldn’t get it unstuck from the VCR.

KobeForAccuracy, in What movie did you rewatch most often?

Superbad

This list of yours needs Werner Herzog's Aguirre and Fitzcarraldo in there.

sarahcanary,

Wow, that’s an eclectic mix of rewatches! I’m with you on Alien.

johnthebeboptist,

Lol, haha, I never thought about that. I used to watch a shit-ton of movies as a teen. Got into horror movies, David Lynch and weird stuff early on so I kind of dove into the deep end very early and with no social life there was a lot of time to watch a lot of stuff.

I seem to be having a phase where I don’t really watch movies that much (series more than ever), but when I do it’s usually kind of “comfort food” so I’m mostly watching all-time favorites over and over again.

We have strangely similar taste, I’ve seen all these movies, and they’re all amazing

Carter, in Have you ever had Detroit-style pizza?

I had a quick look online and it looks like the exact sort of pizza I try to avoid.

@danie10@lemmy.ml avatar

Although I do use Linux (so should not respond here, I know), the reasons are probably similar to why Android vs iOS. They are different philosophies. No-one really is wrong, it is about personal fit.

SpooneyOdin, in What movie did you rewatch most often?

I gotta go with Primer because it pretty much is necessary to re-watch it multiple times to understand what is going on.
