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.
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.
For starters, you can add weather stripping to outside-facing doors and windows. If your landlord doesn’t want to pay for it, then it can be found cheaply on aliexpress. Also, add insulation outside-facing switch covers and outlet plates.
The year was 2010, and I was living abroad at the time. I was visiting the old country for a few days to renew my passport, and the day before I was supposed to fly back to where I lived, two things happened:
Ran into this FWB i knew before moving abroad.
Eyjafjallajökull had a volcanic eruption, shutting down air traffic in all of northern Europe.
Long story short, my FWB and I reconnected in the extra time I was given, and things developed further than they ever had before. Today we have a house and four kids together. I think it’s getting serious.
So, as any self-respecting datahoarder and selfhoster, I have my server rack populated with a few machines, churning along as they tend to my hobby-related projects. Now that I’ve started using Lemmy I’m toying with the idea of selfhosting an instance, as I have both the hardware, bandwidth, and skillset for it....
I use it as anti-seize for RF connectors. It allows cables to connect to antennas without getting stuck, even if left like that for years in maritime environments.
EDIT: Just make sure the vasseline is neutral and not (even slightly) acidic. Otherwise it’ll cause corrosion.

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?

I just missed mine. Feeling pretty stupid right now. Hopefully your stories will cheer me up.

What do you use Vaseline for?
I have a tub of Vaseline and have hardly scratched the surface. I’m curious whether anyone uses it for anything other than their lips.
