hperrin,

The unfortunate fact is that most people don’t care about their privacy until it’s violated. It’s weird.

hperrin,

The biggest green flag is that you like being around them and you miss them when they’re not there. I know that seems kinda obvious and a weird thing to say, but hear me out. Sometimes people get invested into a relationship, and don’t even realize that they don’t like spending time with their partner. Wanting to be around them, like actually longing for their company, is a green flag.

hperrin,

I could be wrong, but I believe one of the requirements for life insurance payments is that it was not suicide.

Question regarding ripping dvds (yes DVDs)

I know the majority opinion is not to do it for various reasons, but basically I started to backup the majority of my dvd collection that I created over the years since I have the time and they were just collecting dust. Turns out though I guess I’m doing it “wrong” or at least not in the original quality since I used...

hperrin,

You can rip DVDs just fine with Handbrake. If you watch some of your videos and you like the quality, keep doing what you’re doing.

Fellow Americans, remember: if you eat out for your Thanksgiving meal, leave a fat tip for your wait staff who is working on Thanksgiving. Minimum 25%.

hperrin,

We’re all sick and tired of it. That doesn’t mean you have to fuck over the wait staff to make your point.

hperrin,

Check your /etc/fstab file to make sure your root partition is correctly specified, then rerun your bootloader install.

hperrin,

Wow. How did they get it out without it exploding?

2in1's or tablet recs. for linux please.

Hi, lets talk about 2in1 laptops and tablets. Which ones are the best for running linux on them, which ones are your favorites right now, what do you like using them for, etc. I find myself really missing having a 2in1 sometimes, especially for the portability aspects of them....

hperrin,

I currently have an Acer Spin 5 I bought like 3 years ago. It’s an awesome little machine. I use it every day to code on, and once in a while I’ll do some graphic design work on it where I need the pen support. The pen it comes with is too small to be comfortable, so I use a Dell active pen. Everything works on it out of the box except the fingerprint reader. I don’t use fingerprint readers anyway, but there is a way to get it working.

hperrin,

Because new is more interesting.

hperrin,

I find this stereotype offensive.

hperrin,

I donate hundreds of hours of my time every year maintaining several open source projects. Does that count?

hperrin,

There is a way to recover it. You can use a root shell aka recovery shell (usually available through your GRUB menu) to change the permissions on your home directory. But just reinstalling was probably easier anyway.

hperrin,

Cool. Another OS to avoid.

hperrin,

The AI has been generous today.

hperrin,

Is she the one who starred in Barbean?

hperrin,

Does it have to be an internet meme? Also does God count as a meme?

hperrin,

My guess is that it’s reindexing, and will settle down when done. Give it a day, and if it’s still going, then worry.

hperrin,

My Jellyfin server has become quite useful as I’ve unsubscribed from various services.

hperrin,

I created a new email service that prevents spam and organized your email. If it works out and I become successful, I can imagine Google trying to buy it, and if I say no, all of a sudden Gmail starts having issues receiving mail from my service. Gmail and Exchange together share about 70% of the business email market, so they can destroy smaller competitors if they aren’t willing to sell. Yay capitalism!

hperrin,

Yeah a new TV is great. I’d like to be able to buy a house though.

hperrin,

I don’t really have any advice for you, but I hope your surgery goes well and you start feeling better soon. I’m sending good vibes your way!

hperrin,

Gotta defederate from their instances before they turn this whole place into a nazi bar.

I use Brave to test whether my websites work on Chromium browsers, but their scummy actions lately make me want to find a new Chromium browser to test with. What's the best Chromium based browser?

I already use Firefox for browsing normally, but I have to test on a Chromium based browser too. One soft requirement is that it should be installable with Flatpak on Linux.

hperrin,

This is awesome! Thank you.

Unfortunately, based just on this, Brave seems to be the best, but there’s additional stuff in Brave that makes it much less appealing.
