At least the 1st one is likely to actually fly in a somewhat stable manner. The rest are likely too heavy, in addition to the last one having a grossly offset CoG.
I rocked a Samsung Alias 2 for 4 years before I got an iPhone 5. The e-ink keyboard was awesome how it changed when you flipped the screen open to portrait or landscape.
Sony Ericsson W810i. Got it in 2007, I think. When it started to die on me in late 2009 i replaced it with an iPhone 3G, which was my first apple phone. It was also my last apple phone as I hated how locked down everything was.
EDIT: I just remembered I had a secondary dumbphone around 2012 or thereabouts. It was a dual SIM nokia of some sort that I used mainly as a backup phone in case my main ran out of battery while I was on the move.
Green olives. None of my cooking use them as an ingredient, so once in a blue moon I remember that I like them, so I eat an entire jar with a toothpick.
I may have, I don’t know enough about olives to tell. I usually just buy the biggest jar of castrated green olives that I can find here in scandinavialand.
Depends on your OS, but symlinks can do that for you - file exists once, but multiple “files” link to it. The application (torrent client) doesn’t care.
This amazing picture looks like an opening slide to WTYP.
Justin: “In this picture you can see a Lightning F1… It’s not supposed to be like that. But before we get ahead of ourself, we have to ask the fundamental question of: What is a plane.”
Oversimplified: It’s the service that handles starting and stopping of other services, including starting them in the right order after boot. Many people hate it because of astrology and supersticion. Allegedly it’s “bloated”. But still it has become the standard on many (most?) distros, effectively replacing init.
I like init. It’s simple. I like systemd as well. It’s convenient. Beyond that i don’t have very strong feelings on the matter.
Now that you mention it, I find systemd messing with my DNS settings incredibly annoying as well, so I can’t help but agree on that point. At this production system at work, when troubleshooting, I often need to alter DNS between local, local (in chroot), some other server in the same cluster, and a public one. This is done across several service restarts and the occasional reboot. Not being able to trust that resolv.conf remains as I left it is frustrating.
On the newest version of our production image, systemd-resolvd is disabled.
Hello everyone, I just installed Linux (I’m new to it), in particular Linux Mint, with dual booted Windows for games. Tinkered with it a bit, loved the way it looked, loved how fast it is, but I really don’t want to stop on one option and stick with it for a while. I want to try new stuff, new distros (that’s how you call...
Install steam and test which of your games will run in mint. Some might require proton, but I’m sure you’ll find that you don’t need that many reboots.
In my opinion, the full potential of linux is gained via the command line. The GUI is just an abstraction layer, and various distros have various approaches to this abstraction. Comman line familiarity is far from a necessary step, but it sure is a useful one.
I posted this as a comment in another post but when I got done I realized it would probably just be better as its own post. I’m sure I could find the answers I need myself but frankly I trust the userbase here more than most online articles....
I have exactly zero experience in what work a law office does, but I would think it’s mostly paperwork and email? If so you can do that at no startup costs.
Pick a distro (pop, mint, whatever), and install libreoffice or one of its many variants for offfice integration.
A common misconception is that linux involves a lot of coding. Sure, it can if you want to - all the hooks for programatical access are there, for example if you want to build shell scripts for automation. But you don’t need to. It’s just an option many linux users, myself included, like to take advantage of.
When it comes to convincing you, all I can say is this: It costs you nothing to try.
Awesome! I’m one of the guys peer pressuring you in the other thread, and I’m glad to see it worked.
It also just so happened that you went for the same distro that I use on my desktop.
What’s going to be the primary use of this laptop other than having linux installed? Any projects or use cases in mind? I’m asking because I found out some time around the turn of the century hat the best way to learn linux is to use it for something one would otherwise do in Windows.
It doesn’t have to be fancy as long as you have a practical use case. And it’s worth mentioning that the “fancy” stuff is often easier on linux than on windows.
What are your ‘defaults’ for your desktop Linux installations, especially when they deviate from your distros defaults? What are your reasons for this deviations?...
Nothing radical, but I’ve used mplayer as default video player since FreeBSD 4.0, and that’s not changing any time soon. VLC is good and all, I just prefer mplayer.
Oh, and for general purpose storage partitions I use XFS, as it plays nice with beegfs.

If another species on Earth began to develop civilization, how would you like to see them approached?
Would you prefer a hands-off, leave them to their own devices kind of approach, a keep at arms reach gently advise, or something else altogether?
