I’ve got 10 hours in a little ultralight. Pre-diagnosis. I’m not looking to fly a jet fighter. I get more G’s in a hang glider.

See, and this is why… Except, again, I only faint standing up. Ever.

I will never be able to get a small engine private pilot license due to fainting, despite it literally never happening unless I’m standing up…

Guys… “sudo.” Four characters.

I have LMDE on an old Lenovo Yoga, but it doesn’t disable the keyboard when in tablet mode. It’s on my list of crap I need to fix. Make sure to check that behavior before you go full install.

Some Fedora variants do that too. Not sure which ones.

I have a Tiny connected to a startech dual USB drive dock. The drives get warm, but not deadly hot. Moving big files is a bit slow, but for streaming on Plex and Jellyfin it works fine.

I have two indoor cats. They’re constantly trying to get out. My neighbors have two outdoor cats. They constantly try to get into my house! Do you know how hard it is to take out garbage when there’s four cats vying to pass through any door you open?

Ninite won’t run in S-Mode, I tried it once. Only Windows Store Apps. (Mint better.)

I didn’t know anything about docker when I set up my NC years ago, so I ran it as a snap on bare metal. Man, it’s gotten so much better! It used to really suck. Like, simple file transfers just didn’t work half the time, so I’d be retrying the same thing over and over… A few years ago, I literally migrated it from bare metal to a VM, but kept the exact same install. I have so much crap on it now, I think I’ll never bother switching it out to docker, just because of the inconvenience. I know the snap version can just run using a local hostname, you just have to set it in trusted domains setting. Might be the same in the docker image?

When you said mechanical friend, I automatically thought of Johnny 5. I think I’m too old to be Internetting right now.

Dogged stubbornness. I use Linux because I refuse to give MS any more of my money, and I’m too stubborn to give up.
