A TV that is not connected to the internet is effectively just a large monitor.

I understand that some TVs lock functionality and coerce you into connecting it to the network, but most of them function well as monitors. I know it's tempting to make use of the "smart" features since it's included, but if you care about privacy, it's better to keep it off the internet.

That happened in the previous loop. This time-traveller ruined his life with hookers and blow, so instead of giving his younger self quick riches, he gave solid financial advice instead.

If your back is constantly itchy, it's possible that you could benefit from exfoliating your skin. I use these salux cloths for my back and all over when I shower. My back scratching tool is now collecting dust and also, my keratosis pilaris issues went away after about a year.

While you may trust implicitly, many have witnessed and experienced enough injustice to understand how the world works.

I never knew about apt-file! Thanks!

  1. Add myself to the sudoers group: sudo usermod -a -G sudo myusername
  2. Updated my sources list to include main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
  3. Enable multi-arch (for Steam): sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

I use KDE and something that annoys me is that file explorers launch files on single click, so I always have to change that to double click in System Settings.

My distro is Debian, but I installed it using the Linux (generic amd64) method as posted on https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/installation/linux. I picked this method because I liked the installation instructions. All the files would be in a folder that I specified, I'm accustomed to using systemd to manage services, and the only manually installed dependency is FFmpeg.

I use docker for some other things, but since docker does take some effort to learn (it's easy but it still slows me down), I ended up sticking with my manual Linux (generic amd64) installation. Upgrading versions is as simple as extracing the latest file to a folder, updating a symbolic link, and restarting the service. I may choose docker in the future, but haven't had any problems for the 3-4 years that I've been doing it this way.

I now constantly test myself to see if I'm overlooking the truth. Refusal to admit reality or refusal to acknowledge an unpleasant truth can ultimately hold you back.

As a longtime Debian user, Steam can work really well on Debian, but rarely there are some things that fall between the cracks when some packages get updated. There's also a bit of latest-and-greatest envy because Debian (even testing) is a little bit behind. If you're only using your computer for Steam, look elsewhere. If you want a mostly reliable desktop computer and are okay with occasional hiccups, Debian is pretty awesome. Honestly, any computer you use will run into some issues eventually. If you get familiar with the Debian way of doing things, you're gonna have a good time!

In Canada, I know people from Hong Kong who still boil water before drinking. They have been in Canada for 40+ years, have seen everyone around them drink tap water, and yet hang on to this ritual of boiling copious amounts of water.
