Funny thing is the book ending is different, the explosives fail and nothing explodes.

The “nerds” I know spend days getting an obscure ROM to work on a 6 year old phone they got for free from a relative instead of chasing the latest tech. Having the newest and slimmest phone is about fashion, not hacking.

I recognize everything you say and the tone of it, and I’m just immune to that angle. If you take a step back and look at it, it’s an appeal for more reassurance. I’m just saying that for your partners sake, and if you actually want the relationship to work, the best thing you can do is working on your confidence. If you don’t, every “But baby I do love you let me show you” will gradually become hollow words, and eventually filled with resentment. That’s not what you actually want, right?

I’m 7 years into a relationship like this. I love her, but it’s breaking us apart. If you love your SO, please don’t neglect your mental health. What is reassuring and cute to you can become a taxing chore with time until one person is more like a caretaker than a lover.

What is the topic of 196?

also why “head”?

Because this year your [F4M] MILF Neighbor gives out blowjobs instead of candy [Neighbors to Lovers] [Slow Burn] [Trick or Treat] [Messy Head] [ASMR] [Wet Sounds] [Slimegirl]

I like Ken Thompson. He wanted to play a game on a computer that didn’t have an OS that supported it so he wrote Unix.

If I remember correctly, they used KenC to bootstrap the Go compiler.

Just out of curiosity, how legal is this? Do you need to hide in complicated ways?

I’ve had to accept that I’m too careless to have expensive phones, and I don’t need new hardware, so I’m staying at the oldest supported pixel and upgrading in that area second-hand. Currently I have a pixel 6a (with a cracked screen…), but might move to a pixel 8 next year. Somehow I wish I could support Fairphone, but I keep reading things like people having issues with it and I want my phone to “just work”, and graphene has been great for that.

Iirc LMDE uses a btrfs naming scheme that is incompatible with Timeshift for example, and it removes some standard Mint features. The last time I tried LMDE is was basically Debian with cinnamon (and green theme), but what is the Mint experience?

On the other hand, being purist about openness is why GNU exists in the first place.

What’s the difference between LMDE and running Cinnamon on Debian?

No, you may be thinking about combining repos from different releases aka frankendebian? That isn’t supported. Upgrades are definitely supported.

“Zealot” is relative to where you currently are. Mint -> Debian -> Arch -> FreeBSD -> OpenBSD -> Plan 9 -> TempleOS

It’s magic

Polishing dotfiles is a valid hobby, and can be fun now and then, but when I need to do actual work I reach for my debian laptop.

Nethack runs fine on my Debian computer.

Honestly, OpenBSD often works better out of the box on laptops and workstations.

This has been my experience with self-hosting too. There are so many different areas of concepts that need to form a cohesive whole. Following a how-to and pasting some commands can lead to something running, but then there are worlds of knowledge to actually understand it. Especially when complexity seems to increase exponentially.
Funny thing is that for every low-level concept I actually learn, the more I appreciate my OpenBSD computer that I mostly play around with otherwise.
