I don’t understand. Where do you think the content you get from invidious is coming from?

i’m very happy with vacuumtube over a vpn

I run linux and play games. NTFS is not required for this.

Anyone ever notice how these “linux isn’t ready for mainstream” posts so often have straight up factual errors, like this one?

Is this reaally from a Microsoft misinformation farm somewhere? /s

run these two commands:

sudo apt install mlocate

sudo updatedb

if it is the difference between heartburn everyday and not, then 100% worth it

I feel like we’ve been having the same conversation for 20 years. Meanwhile the linux family of operating systems is now the most widely deployed in the world.

Not sure what your goal is but to make it so nothing can be exexuted in there you can put /home on its own filesystem and mount it with the “noexec” option.

i love mpd and will check this out

it also says all posts require a tag… however thanks for sharing about the sidebar because it led me to find foodporn and thats more what i’m into. Good to know this is the one for “food memes and shitposts” and such.

I totally agree with that. Many meals involve no cooking at all. Its just that I thought this forum was about cooking.

is heating a freezer corndog and dumping chips from a bag really cooking?

A while ago I did this by making a custom wallpaper with a box on it and set the capture region to the box.

If you ran this as a non-root user then you didn’t move any system files you just made some copies. Delete the new copies and you should be fine.

The vast majority of people have no experience installing an OS and likely never will.

The typical user uses whatever is preinstalled when the get the hardware.

My father-in-law wrecked his windows pc with malware over and over so I bought him a Wow PC https://www.mywowcomputer.com/ and he loves it. I don’t think he has any idea its running linux.

I never login with the root account. Not even on the console. You don’t want everything you do running as root unless it is required. Otherwise it is much easier for a little mistake to become a big mess.

What does this have to do with linux? You can run that stuff on FreeBSD and go take out your misplaced frustrations on their forum just as well…

Its fun and rewarding to figure stuff out and awesome to write it up and share with others.

I’ve had good results with ufiformat and usb floppies, but indeed only 3.5"

Nice write up! Curious, was this to avoid using a USB floppy drive?
