ffmpeg is one of the things where I prefer the CLI. It's crazy powerful, and does some insane things in pretty simple commands. I've seen a meme that says half the internet is just wrappers for ffmpeg, and I'm inclined to agree.

Also, as an arch user (btw) pacman / AUR are a much better experience than having to hunt down the installers for everything online.

Similarly, the right CLI tools make searching for files across my entire computer much simpler and way faster than I could ever do with a GUI

ifconfig was deprecated in 2009. I got into Linux in the last 10 years and still used ifconfig. Sure, it's deprecated and no longer included in most modern installs, but you can still download and use it as before. A lot of guides online used ifconfig, so it's a pretty common package for inexperienced users to download, even if deprecated.

It is kind of crazy how motorcycle/car culture hasn't really moved off of old-school internet forums. I very rarely need to visit them because I'm not a car guy, but I do think very fondly of them whenever I visit, they remind me of the internet of my childhood

I'm in my mid 20s. Maybe it's because I grew up poor and was using outdated tech when I was a kid.

I didn't use vinyl or a film camera until a few years ago though, I have been really enjoying the physicality and ritualism of analog tech recently

Depends on the meal, I do use the fats for gravy and sauces when the meal allows, but most of the time it's my morning bacon and eggs, where I'll fry the bacon, mop up half of the bacon grease, fry the eggs in the remaining grease, then mop up what's left with a paper towel.

I used to only use Linux on old, outdated machines. They made it so that the computer was usable, but given the age it was still not a great experience. After Windows decided to bake ads into their OS, I installed Linux on my modern machine.

Everything is just faster. Windows/MacOS have so much overhead on every single action it's actually crazy. Like, just typing on the keyboard is faster. Opening folders is faster. I thought folders opened instantly in Windows, but they don't, it takes milliseconds more on Windows than Linux, and it's noticeable. It feels like the folder opens before I get done with my double click.

I am a pretty basic computer user, outside of software development (something that is objectively better on Linux) I only use a web browser and play games on Steam. I have yet to run into something that isn't a better experience on Linux than Windows.

Yeah, my brother was having some work done in his apartment, and had an envelope of cash (8000 dollars, was saving up to buy a car in cash) in a drawer. Turns out one of the workers went through all his stuff, and took all the money. He's been fighting this for months, and has gotten 6000 back, but the guy says that's all he took. He's now going the route of legal action against the company that hired the guy. Will likely get the rest paid out by the company's insurance, but still. When I was renting I wouldn't get work done unless it was at a time I knew someone would be home.

Everyone says put it in a container and throw the container away, but I don't have a bunch of empty containers around that I can just throw away. My best method is to, while the oil is still warm and liquid, use a paper towel or two to soak up all the oil. Usually it's safe to toss this into the garbage as is, as it will cool down considerably, but if not, give it a few minutes before tossing in the garbage. I never wait for it to harden, and I've never melted a garbage bag before. Once there's only a little bit of oil left on the pan, an excessive amount of dawn and a good bit of scrubbing will trap the oil and make it safe to dump down the drain. If you aren't using that much cooking oils, you can also compost the oily paper towels, but I'd check with your local compost folks first to make sure they allow it, as too much cooking oil can ruin a compost pile.

This looks like everything was cooked via boiling

Cool 😎

12 year account here, but was accountless for many years before that. Pretty much a lurker on reddit. Here, I don't post much, but I've been trying to add to the conversation as much as possible. I find I get genuine responses from folks, even if we disagree with each other. By the time I left Reddit for the API changes, it had been either jokes, trolls or bots on the biggest subreddits for years, no real genuine discussion anymore.

Not to say it's perfect in the comments around here, but it's a lot better than reddit has been for like, 8+ years

If that's what you want why don't you start your own community instead of being a jerk on one you have no interest in?
