I hope you’re upgrading from debian buster to bullseye!

I keep hearing how addictive nicotine is (7x more than heroin??), but in my experience, i never got addicted. Is there something wrong with my brain?

I never smoked two packs a day, but i spent at least 3 years smoking socially (2 or 3 smokes at work every day and then 2 or 3 smokes at the bar on the weekend). So around a pack a week.

But during that time, i could always just take a week or two off if i needed to. I always wanted a smoke (especially with a beer or coffee) but i could resist the urge, no problem.

At the end of the 3 years, i just quit cold turkey. I would keep smoking once in a while with a beer, but i never went back to regular smoking…

Do you only get addicted if you’re smoking a pack a day or more?

If buying isnt owning then piracy isnt stealing

Prompts are just the reverse of image recognition AI tagging stuff.

Alt text is exactly the kind of tedious work that AI would be good at doing, but everyone in the fediverse seems to have a huge hate boner for ANYTHING AI…

Fediverse: write a fucking essay every time you post an image… But make sure you waste time doing it manually, instead of using AI tools!!!

I had the same problem before… computer ran for 5 years with just the weight of the heatsink holding it down. Just keep the motherboard horizontal

None of my coworkers drive to the office and we actually like seeing each other… Hybrid remote work is great for us

I think 90% of the problem is people being forced to drive everywhere

Weather underground is owned by IBM now

Anyone know of a community driven, non-profit weathet platform we can share weather station data with?

Wow, did not know this…

I think i will accelerate my plans for a new NAS lol

QNAP is taiwanese and still providing software patches for my 8 year old NAS. I think they are reasonably trustworthy

But i agree with you, i’m going to build my own NAS from scratch this year…

My debian laptop always reconnects to my wifi automatically

The only annoying thing is it always asks for a password unless you set it to save the wifi credentials for everyone instead of encrypted.

I cant remember the exact wording of the option, but its in thr security tab of each wifi network

it was marketed here (north america) as an australian beer… i think their slogan was “australian for beer” at some point. also parodied heavily in the simpsons episode in australia…

never heard of any associations with japan or england

Any famous beer that is associated with a country is usually shit… Like molson canadian, fosters, or bud light

It took me a while to realize guinness falls firmly into this category as well

Dude, i was also going to ask if you’re a writer on the show…

i read your post and heard hank’s voice perfectly in my head. You have talent, son.

$alias fewer = ‘less’

I’ve never heard of robert baker, but the less/fewer “rule” makes sense and just “sounds” more correct intuitively. Maybe just bias, having been tainted by this “rule”

end up with all kinds of dependencies and leftover files from shit that you didn’t like.

I’ve been using debian for 10 years and never had this problem. Apt keeps everything very neat and tidy

Are you downloading random .deb packages off the internet and installing them manually?

IT87 kernel module for gigabyte b450 motherboard. Cant remember full model number, but most gigabyte motherboards have a crappy sensor chip that needs extra software to work on lm-sensors

Wow. That looks like a lot of work! I have one dkms module i added to makr my motherboard sensors work, but everything else seems to work out of the box.

I’ve been reading nextcloud forums/reddit/lemmy/etc. for years now, and i feel like 90% of the problems are from people using docker or whatever easy one-click solution is out there

I’ve been running NC the old fashioned way for years now and i’ve never had problems of NC dying for no reason.

Have i had issues? Of course… Not not like the ones people keep coming here and shitting on NC

The only times i’ve had major issues and it was actually a problem with nextcloud, is buggy major version releases… So i never install a new major release until X.0.1 these days. Havent really had problems since

Nextcloud can be self hosted… It’s not really “the cloud”. Can be LAN only if you want
