overview for LordTrychon

Long overdue, I know, but looking to start at least partially migrating and working with Dual boot, coming from Windows 10 (putting off 11 as much as possible)...

I have limited Linux experience, mostly in college several years back.

I work remotely with Windows software development, including Winforms, Asp.net, .net core, etc. Not sure what I need to best work with these, particularly Winforms. That may not even be possible, I know.

Looking for any general guidance/recommendations.

Long term, I'm interested in migrating as much as possible, outside of whatever I have to keep up for work... starting with dual boot options then moving towards linux as a primary driver. I have an old media server (also win10, not win11 compatable) not really doing much but running plex when I need it... would love to also eventually poke around with Home Assistant or similar, maybe some LLM tinkering etc.

If this isn't a good community for this, I apologize, and please point me to a better one if you know of one.

Did some checking, out of curiosity.

And yeah. Interesting as hell.

We recorded 65 dBSPL (dB of sound pressure level) ultrasonic sounds 4 inches (10 cm) from tomato and tobacco plants, implying that these sounds could be detected by some organisms from up to several feet (meters) away.

Did some searching. The paper from 2019 that discussed this -

True.

Also true that Biden cancelled it in his first months in office... Who knows how long it takes to get fully up to speed on everything bad we have going on?

Also Also true that it started and ran longer under a different regime.

New school bus route is a 'disaster,' Kentucky superintendent admits. Last kids got home at 10 pm by LordTrychon in c/news@lemmy.world

Something I haven't seen in the comments but is very important to the equation.... Louisville has a very messed up bussing situation and has for years.

I'm not SUPER aware of the details, but that's because I live on the southern Indiana side of the river (just miles away from Louisville). My wife moved over here years ago specifically to avoid this issue for her kid before he was in the school system.

Louisville has a long standing policy where there is some sort of lottery that chooses what school you go to, rather than your school being determined by your nearest available.

The idea was clearly based on good intentions... to ensure that kids from any neighborhood would have the same opportunities, etc etc.

However, in reality it is a nightmare. Louisville isn't the largest metro area or the most sprawling, but still, trying to bus students from every school to every part of the county is ridiculous.

I think they made some changes in the past few years to make it easier to get a closer school, but again I'm not super up to date on it because it doesn't affect me other than the bus routes being an issue every year and hearing about it on the local news.

It's gotten worse and worse over the years though.

Again, I'm sure there are much more informed people with better info on this out there, but until they jump in I figured I'd add some pertinent info since this isn't a local lemmy community.

I'm pretty sure this is exactly what happened.
