Indeed it is good to learn: ipv6.he.net/certification is a free course everybody should take the first 2-3 levels of.
The login credentials you create for that website will allow you to login to their sister site tunnelbroker.net and claim a /48 delegation for your DDNS tunnel, also free, to promote the changeover to v6 from v4, especially for people with dynamic WAN IPS from their ISP and no IPv6.

What is the next LTS kernel and when is it slated for release? 24.04-ish?

Since my dad passed away, I’m spending more time with my mom helping her around the house. And I can confirm the dad tip. I do things wrong at least 3 times before the yelling stops.

This Is The Way. There are two stores within 7minures of me!

Lubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu…I’ve gone from Lu to Xu, but I think I’ll end up with ku because PipeWire and wayland and flatpak (I get the impression that they’re the way forward for the next while…). They’ll make pretty much anything work better than whatever windows version retired them.

The SSD upgrade is almost critical, and when you install the OS, be sure to include a swap partition (2GB is enough) that functions as a system buffer/parallel & virtual RAM. A bigger RAM chip can’t hurt either. This is exactly what I’ve done for a very similar machine mentioned in another post of this thread.

I love when people switch on the same machine and experience a performance boost. They finally start to understand all my under breath muttering about hating windows and it’s geriatric bloatware.

It’s only been a few days, perhaps a week, of me being here, but I have to admit to loving the very high signal to noise ratio. I have some learning to do about how to make communities or whatever the equivalent of subreddits are, or search to see if the place I’m thinking of might already exist, but I’ll figure it out. Let’s hope we keep growing around here.

I’ve one from my bank for doing a survey for them. Painfully useless without ApplePay functionality. I’m going to pay my mobile bill with it, I hope.

I wish I could bookmark/save things I also wish that somebody makes an addon of this for kodi.

Not a comment but a question- does this potentially affect Lemmy servers as well?

I’m actually just enjoying watching things here grow, come to life. I’m loving the energy of that. It’s so positive.
