I use Arch on my main machine, but I just got a new (old!) laptop that I’m going to set up probably with Debian. Someone mentioned I might try Devuan… and learn about all the init stuff… but I’m thinking I’ll keep it simpler for this one and go straight Debian first.

Wow… define loser? That’s awesome!

Wow, yeah, are we sure those aren’t just some 2025 Oregonians??

Ah, glad to hear it! I’ll definitely give it a whirl, thanks.

Dang, those are beautiful screenshots. I recently moved over to Linux and have only tried a couple of games on here, but I should see how that one works… haven’t played it in a few months, and I have ways to go in it. I don’t even remember what chapter I’m on.

Ah, dang, I haven’t run into this yet. But I see what you mean. I actually just set this up in Linux, but back in Windows I didn’t run into this problem (maybe I was lucky enough to hit the same port, or maybe I didn’t have it set up entirely correctly, lol).

Yes, this is what I do, with Private Internet Access (VPN). You can bind qbittorrent to PIA’s interface, and also to its forwarding port.

Yes! I’ve been using Copilot (same thing?) mostly for tech help… Like, I’m moving my computer from windows to Linux (my current new special interest), and it can get pretty hairy. Being able to just ask it questions beats the heck out of the old way (googling). But… Asking it social stuff? That’s a great idea that I should try.

I’m a very recent linux convert, coming from windows where I was using Vivaldi and I quite like it. But… are there reasons to switch to something else?

lol, I scrolled down here to post the same. TIL I’m old.

nice!!

This is nice to stare at… thank you…

Exactly. My kid’s going to college next year and we’ll almost certainly be taking out loans, but I just bought myself another synthesizer. Because… synths.

Awesome, thanks! Offline is definitely more my speed, it sounds like, but, I could see getting into the dailies sometimes.

Very nice. I’ve only played story mode, and not all the way through yet. What are the main differences between that and online?

I like that, good idea.

…in bed. (sorry… someone was going to say it.)

Yo, I started FNV for my first time this week! A friend of mine is always raving about it, so he sent me instructions to get it all modded out (Viva New Vegas modlist), so I did that and I’m off to the races. So far so good… it was a bit of a grind to get past the first couple of quests (I kept getting my ass handed to me), but now that I’ve killed some convicts and stolen their stuff, I’m in much better shape. Also I figured out I can sleep in beds that aren’t red.

I also heard that about not getting involved with factions yet…

hmmmmmm you’re tempting me to get back into this one. I think I have 60 or so hours on it? Not enough to try everything yet, but definitely enjoyed chilling in space.
