Use things like Newpipe on mobile for YouTube, use stract.com for good old fashioned links based on content, not adwords

Often its not about what you had in your head (like how you pictured the character, etc) but the premise and obviously depth of the book is lost.

Was it a movie first then the book adapted from the screenplay? I read one like that before, it was just the movie written down

Yes, its really good, and every time somebody say "Linux needs ____ to make its use easy for new comers". My answer is typically uhm, openSUSE already has it.

That can be:

  • OneClick installs
  • GUI package management
  • GUI service and system settings
  • auto cleaning of btrfs

OpenSUSE, you can rollback your OS if an update, or your own mistake, borks it. GUI interface for a lot of stuff. It defaults to enforcing Secure Linux these days. This is a good thing but means extra steps if you want to access certain things remotely, so you can set it to complain or off, instead of the enforcing setting.

There are some android with dual speaker, but the point of post was a phone and/ or laptop audio is poor compared to a real sound system.

Sure, we thought that meant text body, not image OCR. I removed all my google stuff, I just self host now

My friend unloaded photos of receipts into a gmail to send to somebody, just an empty email with the receipt image, some time later he was getting ads for the product listed on the receipt...and he had not presearched the items before buying.

He's irked because as the narcissists he is he wants to be the focus, and Epstein is getting more headlines. He can't believe a dead guy has captured more interest than himself. Its is so good :)

They didn't learn much from the Universal Health / Luigi situation then

I assume it is for transparency, so if he was heavily invested in Bell and then you see laws passed and contracts initiated they favoured Bell over Rogers, then you can see corruption.

Still has binary blobs for part of the code though, so we have no clue if it is 100% secure

Many thanks to all those that maintain FOSS. i had setup a pi4 running 32 bit Debian Buster years ago (pandemic days) with OpenMediaVault 5. With the OMV docker and portainer plugin I had various dockers running, but found some dockerhub images weren't supporting 32bit. I had thought ubout updating to 64 bit install but thought I might have headaches, so just blocked the pi from accessing the internet and sidelined the update. Since it is the holidays I figured I would tackle an update.

Scope:

  • update to 64 bit
  • move from Buster to Bullseye
  • move from OMV5 to OMV6
  • fix everything that failed including docker.

Step 1 add "arm_64bit=1" in the config.txt file of /boot and reboot. Took a while to boot with lots of drive activity but 64 kernel worked perfectly.

Step 2: run sudo omv-release-upgrade

That is it. Two commands and everything updated perfectly. Nothing to fix.

To me that is an amazing testament to the work put in by everyone for Linux kernel, the OS, OMV devs, and Applications maintainers. Amazing.

 

Hot day, Buddy wants some cool beans.
