I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds
Evil Dead 1&2, Army of Darkness are some of my favorite movies growing up. Just rewatched The Howling and it was good but not as good a American Werewolf in London. Friday the 13th and the Hellrazor series were awesome. Lost boys etc. The Gate. Pet Cemetery, Sometimes They Come Back and Cats Eye I thought were great Stephen King adaptations. I really enjoyed The Cube for its creativity and small set.
Still its the SciFi horrors get me the most. Alien series was awesome and Event Horizon were awesome. Something about having nowhere to escape to I think.
That’s why my mom bought me an Amega 4000. It was a birthday present. Never got that Video Toaster and never did get into animation back then but I had Brilliance and used it allot. I cant remember for sure but I think I remember the os being more Unix like. God I loved that machine!
Ever since I saw Beyond the Minds Eye I’ve wanted to do computer animation.
It’s strange to me how everyone’s experiences with manjaro is different. I’ve been running it on two laptops for 2 1/2 years without issue. On one of the laptops I’m purposefully trying to break it by not giving it updates in a timely manor. I’ve gone 2 months without updating and still can’t break it.
Honestly I wish it would finally break. Just using it for a media server/player now. I need to take it off the rolling release distros and put it on something requiring allot less manditory maintenance. It just won’t die though and I’m too lazy to fix something that isn’t broken.
No shade or manjaro fanboy bs intended as I believe everyone has different experiences with different OS’s and different needs that can be met or failed by any OS. I’m also weaning myself toward a full arch install by using distros closer to a full arch experiance on my new laptop.
My failure OS was Endeavour. Following Arch wiiki and assuming I had mkinitcpio bricking initramfs rebuild. At least I think that was the issue if I’m remembering right, been about a year. Obviously operator error in my case and no shade to EOS.
Tried out Garuda on the new laptop and have been pretty happy. As with anything there are issues to overcome. Like OBS not working because of some dependencies required by Garuda native apps for nvidia. I think this will push me to finally do a full arch install soon and roll back my other 2 laptops running manjaro to Debian.
The progression of my Linux experience over the last 15 years has been happiness to dissatisfaction with every distro I’ve tried. Not because the distros were bad but they mostly had some limitations I wanted to overcome.
Recently I’ve been catching up on tv and some of the more mature/adult shows, which I’ve been…Enjoying? Seems like the wrong word, but they’ve all generally been cynical or dark....
QI with Stephen Fry was absolute gold! Sandi is great too. Anything with David Mitchell is awesome. I think my favorite is Johnny Vegas, that guy is a riot. Bill Baily, Phill Juputus,Sean Lock coming to think of it there wasn’t anyone on that show I didn’t love.
He and Thatcher were instrumental in bringing neoliberalism into mainstream politics. Neoliberalism differs from classical liberalism in that its about freeing capital and not people. This directly led to all the problems we face today with a government that used to be by and for the people but now the only people the government serves are the corporations we gave out rights to.
If I had enough property and could afford a great life for a few horse’s I would absolutely use them as my daily transportation/friend. Love to have a donkey and a couple of pack goats too.
Yes they are. They are also great pack animals that are sure footed on steep rocky terrain. They can be cute and fun to be around too. Kind of a mischievous nature to them. The ones I’ve been around settled down after they age a bit.
Horses, donkeys can also be jerks. A horse I rode growing up Beggar, he loved all the attention, oats and brushing he could get. Saddled and bridled though he couldn’t wait to get me off him. Used to bite my shin when he had enough. I’d almost always acquiesced. I think he knew that I would walk him back by the creek so he could get some fresh water or greens before walking him back to be unsaddled and brushed. He was a good old boy. To old to want some punk kid telling him where to go and how fast.
While I was switching distros, I accidentally broke a partition. I’m almost certain that all the data is there, but it doesn’t have a filesystem (I used ext4). Is there anything I can do to fix it, similar to changing the file extension without changing the contents. PS: It’s a data partition. I was trying to resize it,...
I’ve repurposed a 32 GB M.2 SATA SSD as a bootable “USB stick” and I’m putting useful tools on it. So far I’ve got memtest, seatools, gparted live, system rescue, clonezilla, and a live install iso of the distro installed on my PC. What other great bootable tools am I sleeping on?
Testdisk, clamxTK, rkhunter or chkrootkit, mobile verification toolkit, lshw, time shift maybe deja-dup.
I think your idea is a good one. Like a linux Swiss Army knife. You can have lots of tools that you don’t need all the time but might be handy in a pinch. Especially if you don’t have internet.

It could even be a youtube video or movie that you don't think anyone reading this has heard of besides you.
