This is like Holocaust denial in the 21st century. Those that refuse to see what the Jew-Nazis are doing.

I see we conveniently are just not going to talk about how the Jew-Nazis are absolutely using this as an excuse to maximize collateral damage to the civilian populace of their enclose open air concentration camp of a city. However you want to justify the genocide this is, feel free, but the world is watching, and sympathy for what the Jews went through during the Holocaust is wearing thin since they’ve been essentially running their own genocide for the better part of a century.

Same. I adopted a google account a long time ago, but I’ve finally hit my limit on what they’ve been doing with youtube and everything. Free and open source alternatives are the way to go, it may take a while to catch on or may never fully, but who cares. Switching to linux recently was the best thing I’ve ever done.

You have no idea the temptation I have to do just that. A satellite connection and a remote job for income and I’d be good. A family member is up in Alaska already, he’s got a plot of land with a natural gas deposit that wasn’t large enough or near enough to a populated area for the US gov to care about. So they’ve got it tapped and have a pretty ideal setup. They bought my grandfather’s tractor a while ago an old restored 1912 John Deere.

I do enjoy the comforts of living near everything. I’m not sure I could give up having 100s of restaurants to choose from and a dozen or more grocery stores in a 10 mile radius. Or the specialty delis, high speed gigabit, and other comforts of civilization.

If your stream is at the max setting that’s comfortable and you move around a bit and make sure to get the whole area I’ve got nothing for you other than a recommendation to up the fiber in your diet.

I did get a nicer one that can just about peel the skin off on the highest setting, but even the lower quality one I have on the main bathroom downstairs gets me completely clean. I do tend to use it longer than 30 seconds, I’m pretty thorough about the rinse process.

Dude for real. A cheap bidet attachment for your toilet is the way to go.

First off, a bidet is better than toilet paper. I’ve been using it for years, and it cleans you 100%. I use basically 1 square of TP to dry myself after, and it’s always completely clean. If you had a bird shit on your arm would you just wipe it off with paper and call it a day?

I laughed at all my friends who made fun of me for getting one on all my toilets after the great TP shortage of 2021, and a few of them ended up switching over.

For the apocalypse I have a camping toilet with a foot operated bidet. I mean I already use it when car camping, and I have a hand bidet for backpacking.

Solar panels are also in play. I also bought a freeze dryer and have about 5 deers worth of freeze dried jerky, and buy and freeze dry on sale fruit and veggies pretty regularly. I try to maintain around a 1-2 year supply of on hand food. A few steel plates, ar-15 pistol, and enough ammo to hold off the upper floor for quite a while too, but that’s another conversation. I’m as ready to go as I can though, let’s do this.

I really miss old school MTV though. I feel like, for a time, bands were doing some crazy music videos that were as much works of art as the music itself.

Thanks for the extension!

I may give it a shot later. Right now I just spent 4 days getting things set up and to a point where I’m comfortable with it’s use. So I may settle down for a bit right now and just learn to use Pop even more. I like it overall, just had a few small annoyances like the desktop shortcut thing. But other than that everything is just working right now, which has not been my historical experience with Linux.

I just want an experience that’s as dumbed down GUI-heavy and easy to use as Windows, and so far this is fitting the bill nicely.

Pop!OS worked out for me in the end.

Linux users can be worse than Jehovah’s witnesses or crack dealers when pushing you to try a new OS.

All ASUS routers that have USB file sharing use Samba v1, and only Samba v1. And that’s not the only NAS devices that are still sold with Samba v1 only.

On a current default Windows installation, you can’t connect to Samba v1 at all, you have to manually activate it first.

Also true with linux. The difference is I have to check one box in Windows. In linux I had to edit what are essentially the registry keys for 2 different programs (packages), then add a manual argument in fstab for mounting it. Oh and there was no encompassing tutorial for that task that was easily googlable, me figuring that out was the result of combining like 3 different random bits I got off of forums after almost 8 solid hours of exhaustively searching the subject.

With windows ‘enable samba v1 share’ pulls up result one how to do it, you open one program, check one box, and you’re done.

Guess again if it’s a samba v1 share.

Ideally we wouldn’t sacrifice our ideals of freedom for money. This is America though and we’re all capitalist whores first and foremost though.

Fixed it for me, I will look at lan discovery mode, that would be the smarter option.

So confident I’m staying! I have a ton of mixed feelings about Linux, right now even though I have some pretty solid functionality there are dozens of small annoyances that need addressing. I need to get my g502 hero and orbweaver chroma online for real for example.

And, while yes Warhammer runs better, currently it is loading really really slow off the HDD when loading battles, significantly longer than it did on windows. So much so I have questions about if it’s maybe in USB 2.0 mode instead of the signficantly faster modes I know it’s capable of.

The real issue is is that it takes literally someone who’s very familiar already with technology and deep experience in running a computer to run linux even at this level. I gotta say, the everyman would never be able to pick Linux up in the state it’s in now.

I really wish more people understood the paradox of tolerance.

Which is encouraging. It’s been a relatively silent genocide for decades, and while it’s good to see people waking up, it’s almost too late. Kinda like climate change.

Well shit, I just figured out the scaling issue. That was legit a noob move. The scale control is in the Nvidia controls on windows. On linux it’s under the xorg settings. So, one less thing to complain about.

There’s infinity between should and does sometimes.

So it was already ext4.

I ended up manually running the steam console as described here. Still wasn’t able to use the gui to add a drive but I was able to use the console command to do it manually. Then I restarted to make sure everything was working. On starting steam again it was gone! So I full exited steam and opened console again, and somehow it was there! So I set the option under settings to start on boot thinking that it’d run the console edition again on boot and I could live with that.

Well it turns out somehow there are now 2 steam installs on my computer. I’m not gonna touch it since it’s working, but my working theory is somehow running the console created a second steam on my pc. It did act like it was doing a full install the first time I booted on command line. Weird. But like I said it’s working now. I may poke at it later and see if I can uninstall the redundant one, but I kinda don’t wanna poke it.
