Also, if you use a really easy to remember password... I like P@ssw0rd! Easy to remember, and nobody will ever guess it because, get this... The 'o' is actually a zero!

Can't cancel within 24 hours. Can rebook. Rebook for next week. Wait a day, cancel.

Be careful with disk destroyer!

I volunteer at the library, and a surprising amount of people. They try to apply for jobs using the Android version of Office, don't know what a file is, and then put "Computer skills" on their resume.

I pretty much agree with all of this... I have a Mint XFCE installed on a thumb drive. (Not an installER , installED.) I can boot it on basically any computer that still supports Legacy, and I've done so on a Dell Venue Pro tablet (Atom CPU, 2Gb Ram). Had a bastard of a time getting it to boot, but it ran better than the on board Windows 8.1. This was post-Covid. Of all the systems I've run it on, one didn't have WiFi, and one had a bunch of messing around to get the audio to switch between speakers and headphones reliably. But keep in mind, this is the exact same copy of the OS, across a half dozen systems. I've also upgraded it over five years or so...

Hard Bites chips! So yummy! Man, now I'm hungry again...

Block the trolls, I just did!

These are freaking delicious, too. I like the Honey Dijon, the spicy dill, the S&V, and the wasabi. These are my "don't care how much they cost, get those!" I had to go gluten free for a bit to see if that was causing some issues, and hard bites are the only thing that stuck.

One of my classmates has a leather jacket with a big US flag stitched on the back. He was asked to take it off.

I've taken a couple of shots at yacy, but have little luck. It's possible to self host a searxng in docker that uses almost no resources. I use a server, but a buddy literally has it load on startup in his Windows.

Canadian here. You guys don't have UFOs? How do you make the crop circles? Next thing you know, you'll tell me you don't have smarties or thumblewhups, either.

A couple of quick things: in UEFI, keep separate Linux and Windows efi partitions. Disable quick startup in Windows, as it "locks" any NTFS drives you touched in Windows before you booted back into Linux. (I always forget this and then wonder why a drive is read-only... Grr!) Don't try to install Linux Steam games to an NTFS drive, it doesn't work. Also, Windows and Linux have different default ways of dealing with the system clock. You can either do a registry entry edit to fix on the windows side, or there's a Linux fix that is also quite easy, but I forget what and I'm lazy. This is purely optional, but I like to set up grub customizer and set it to boot into "last selected", so when I'm updating Windows and it restarts, I don't boot back into Linux, and vice-versa. Also, don't try to run Windows installed Steam games. It doesn't work. Lastly, if you virtualize using VMware, your VMs have to "belong" to one host OS or the other, or you'll have no end to bugs. Personally, I wouldn't use VMWare on the Linux side at all, except school requires it.
