Thanks, I’ll check them out. I’ve heard mint a few times as a good beginner distro. I’ll probably dual boot my PC on whatever I am gonna recommend him for a bit so I get my bearings and can support him a bit :)

No it doesn’t, but my 75yo dad has been asking/thinking about switching when Windows 10 eol.

Most of my Linux/Unix experience is at the server level.

What distro did you get them on?

Gave me something to laugh at while eating lunch

Well that’s why you read the article :). I was just trying to showcase that

I’m guessing (without reading) there was a lot of luck there, like no rough seas. We all float better in salt water but 37 hours floating/treading water is impressive regardless of the conditions.

haha, ya… Such well placed money there.

Almost like we should focus on making the US better / competitive instead of trying to succeed by blocking others.

Don’t we get a ton of components and raw materials required for EVs from China already?

Well I’m interested in this world (sailing/ living on a sailboat) so I’ve been following fairly close. I don’t believe there’s any known non aggressive way to stop them. Stopping hasn’t been shown to help that I’ve heard/seen

From all the reports I’ve seen so far, they are in fact not attacking humans, just the boats. Unless this has changed.

Stay classy Humans…

I think you’re one step too high…

Humans seem to thrive being controlled by authoritarian figures. If you look across the planet these people are getting voted in by someone.

The first one was God.

Sounds like this would at the very least remove $20-30m in revenue (according to the article) not counting if the copyright holders decide to go after them.

I think it puts them in a precarious situation overall.

I removed my account a few years ago when they moved a bunch of features behind their paywall. I’m perfectly fine just using Garmin’s built in ‘news feed’ and tracking without giving my data to another company.

The pteg failed (sheered off near the “head” of the bolt/stud. The flat washer like heads were all still attached.

I had to replace the panel, and just went with SS screws right into the fiberglass. I also tape the leading edge during transport.

I’m guessing air got up under the front lip and just poof off it came. In my case these were fairly small which I’m sure didn’t help my case.

I made flat head bolts out of pteg for solar panel mounted to my sailboat and while towing it to the lake they ripped out :( (and I lost the panel)

I made the bolt head like a flat washer so I could glue it to the boat then set the panel on it and secured it with a pteg nut.

I made the decision to block it a while ago so I don’t visit it. In fact, it’s blocked at the DNS level inside my house right or wrong. Wish I could laser in on YT Shorts / FB reels to cut/block them. I wish as a paying customer of YT I could disable shorts from my feed longer than 30 days.

I watch a TON of longer form YT, and while, of course, there is algorithm in play here, I have 100s of subscriptions and mostly watch those channels exclusively. I branch out when I’m just filling time mindlessly or the available content is watched with my wife and she’s not here etc…

I’m sure I blocked tiktok when it was only short form. I also did it so my son couldn’t get to it. Until he got an iPhone he was completely prevented from installing/visiting it. My wife now controls this parental bits (as a fellow drone… Err, iPhone user), and while the app is not allowed on his phone, I’m not sure if he can get to it via the browser.

I’m old(ish) so maybe I’m out of touch but I don’t see anything good from any short form video. Tiktok, YT shorts whatever. I hate them all.

It’s like we’re trying to train people to have ADD.

Hope it stays that way.

There’s all kinds of people being born every day, growing up and becoming self hosting unRAID users. Meanwhile current license holders are growing older and dying off.

How is continuing to charge for new people to get into unRAID unsustainable? If it’s worked this long but isn’t now then increase the prices, or watch your overhead.

I’m here until my pro license starts costing me again. If that happens, I’ll likely jump just like I have done with other products I paid for that changed our original agreement.
