I think this is plausible, also the fact that when you lean your head a little bit forward you expose the front of the skull which is the thickest part while the chin prevents people from punching your neck.

Next stop: Linux gaming

[–] olafurp 16 points 21 hours ago (5 children)

Anybody that already has had a computer for 2 years and is coming from Windows will have almost no problems with Mint. Stability is top priority for first time Linux users and you need some visual guide with screenshots. Mint also has a great default look and setup for people coming from Windows. Mint is probably the best distro to put on your mom's old laptop that is "getting slow" because of viruses.

I'd recommend KDE Neon or Ubuntu also depending on the situation but if I don't know anything about the person and computer I'd say Mint.

Having a good relationship with coworkers is in general great in my opinion and talking about personal life, politics and religion can be avoided with for example:

  • "I'm not that into politics"
  • "sorry, I don't like talking about religion"
  • "Sorry, that's a part I like to keep private" Also always steer conversations towards work topics and problems.

Then there are ways to differently stop conversations like

  • "Sorry, I'm feeling tired today" < all nurses should relate
  • "Sorry, I'm not in the mood for talking right now"

Then there's the general fact that often you don't really don't have to say anything as long as you listen and ask exploratory questions. I'm autistic and can barely keep a conversation going but this goes pretty well for me without a lot of effort. Just say stuff like:

  • "So you're saying that [literally rephrasing their point]"
  • "So does that mean that..."
  • "That must have been tricky"
  • "That sounds hard/tricky/difficult"
  • "Did you manage?"
  • "So what did you do/end up doing?"
  • "That sucks"

And if they somehow end up being sad and almost crying which happens more often than I'd like to admit you can just say "That sucks" put a hand on their shoulder and wait.

Another option would be to invite them to silence like:

  • "I'm spent, do you want to sit over there, relax and eat in silence?"

People are sometimes uncomfortable with silence but not as much when it's on purpose.

It's just conversation lubricant. If you feel like the conversation is interesting then "Have you thought about doing X?".

I can't stress enough how much people will like you by just actively listening.

But always, be like the British monarchy, never take sides. Instead propose neutral hypotheticals like "Maybe they were having a bad day". I've been in my fair share of gossip but acting as Switzerland manages to just avoid most of it. When people say "Why are you hanging out with X" then responding with "They never did anything to me". If really pressed for opinion then say "I don't know all the details so I can't really give an honest opinion". If they still press you after that you have my condolences since that's toxic.

Currently all you have to do is heat up an insulated pile of sand with almost free electricity and stick a pipe in too.

There's a method to put headphones into your pocket without them tangling. Fold them in half always instead of coiling them up.

Chrono Trigger (SNES 1995) (self.patientgamers)
 

I'm born in 1992 so this game is a bit before my time. I started playing it and got completely hooked. It's an absolutely fantastic game that would still hold up as a quality indie game today.

Music is amazing. Characters and character development is amazing. Story is very good. Combat is genuinely fun instead of feeling like a chore that cuts you off from the game. Art style is amazing.

I was surprised how much quality they could fit onto the SNES back it the day, it's a really good game and everyone with a potato can ploy it.

Pro tip: Remasters have some UI unpleasantness so it's best to stick to SNES emu version. I tried the Android and they used some native android font that ruined the immersion a bit. There's also a tight running section that's particularly unsuited for the mobile version. SNES is best, as originally intended.

 

So I of course screamed BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD and SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE like any reasonable human being. Then maimed some people with a knife, drank their blood etc.

She won't talk to me now and I don't understand why. Do you guys think the knife was to small?

Any help very much appreciated.

Does anybody else experience that Android activities get destroyed and rebuilt all the time when switching between apps?

Browser page gets reloaded and form values disappear.

Authorising a payment in different app can make the payment fail.

General bad experience when multitasking 3 apps and swapping between.

(I'm on Redmi Note 12 with HyperOS)

 

I've been wondering how many Linux users are being listed as unknown by statcounter out of curiosity. There has been a big global bump "Unknown".

Obvious ones are UserAgent spoofers Vpn users but I feel like that's pretty niche. I'm wondering if SteamOS, Endeavour and BSD show up as Unknown. Furthermore, will just all non-Ubuntu based OS?

I'm looking for a specific distro to handle some tasks.

I got a second hand rig with Nvidia GTX 1050 that I want to use as a home server. I wanted to use HoloISO but it doesn't support nvidia. If someone says "do it anyway, it's fine" I'll install it though.

The idea is to support a Jellyfin server and Steam Link gaming but steam is not big on Nvidia so it's hard to narrow down "black screen" issues etc. I'm also planning to manage it via VNC and SSH.

I'm familiar with Ubuntu based systems since I develop software on Ubuntu based KDE distro but never had a graphics card.

So it boils down to:

  • Ease of setup including nvidia drivers
  • Ease of update via command line (I'm not going to download nvidia drivers from their website to update proprietary drivers)
  • Graphics performance
  • Prefer Ubuntu based

I'm up for Gnome, Xface, Cinnamon, KDE or whatever DE.

Edit: Changed title to better reflect requirements and not have misleading "headless" and "server" in it

The setup and instructions helped a lot with setting up. My library is small and local now but the future is bright. Thank you all for writing info answers and docs.

Special thanks for all the devs of Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr, Torrent clients and nzb360.

Extra special thanks to the devs at Jellyfin. Honestly this whole set blew my mind.
