People still drink milk?

Is there a DIY build somewhere for something like this? From my quick googling I've only seen expensive off the shelf products

Kids, the movie from the mid 90s where a New York teen is trying to bang virgins and spreading HIV. Freaked me out.

Big Fish is a Tim Burton movie from 2004, the ending is powerful.

Brings me joy: a perfect french fry, a cool fall morning, the end of Big Fish.

I see, I'm just a novice at Linux and this seems complicated. Is there a good tutorial somewhere? Otherwise I might just disable secure boot

So my old Lenovo x220 that started as Windows and since then I wiped and installed pop os with full disk encryption is going to have a problem?

Sudo user vs root (lemmy.ml)
 

Hi, I've been fiddling with PopOS the past year on an old laptop and I like it. I'm getting ready to convert my windows 10 desktop to Pop and leave windows behind entirely, before I do I want to be sure I understand a few security concepts.

I've read suggestions that say don't run as root, create a separate user account and only use root when necessary. Do you give that user account sudo privileges? If so, is that any different from just being root?

Also I've installed the ufw firewall but left it with default settings. Is that something I need to look into more?

Thanks in advance!

Looking for epic space operas (lemmy.ml)
 

I really enjoyed The Hyperion Cantos, and the first few Dune books I read a long time ago (may reread these now). Can anyone recommend some other books (or series) along these lines? Huge stories on an epic scale, space battles, cool future tech, etc.

Interesting article, I wonder how much longer new language models will be detectable like this.
