Have you tried setting up WebDAV? From what I know it has local cache support. I use it to access the files on my NAS remotely. Of course, I could be wrong, and my NAS came with it preinstalled so I’m not actually sure how to set it up manually.

The plastic flame on the figurine is placed in its lap.

Personally, I only drink iced-tea. I just can’t handle bitterness at all, and I prefer cold drinks to hot ones anyway.

I’ve found Peace Tea is the best, but its kinda expensive, so I tend to buy those big tubs of GoodHost IceTea powder and make a jug of the stuff every couple days.

I don’t really keep in contact with my family. They can call if they want, and I do the same, but otherwise, we don’t interact much. I’m definitely glad I stopped using Facebook, personally. I’m not interested in seeing them fall prey to conspiracy after conspiracy and then demand I participate.

I use ddterm. It’s a gnome extension that adds a Drop Down Terminal. I quite like how easy it is to bring it up and hide it again, at the press of a button. You can even hide it without closing it, so it’s great for testing web apps.

Plex, though I do occasionally listen to online radios using my podcast player

Is the setting missing? Or is the setting just not working properly? My laptop has the option greyed out and stuck in the “enabled” setting. I’m not sure how much help I’ll be, but I can try?

I think people are misunderstanding the whole point of drive encryption. It’s so that if the drive is stolen or lost, you don’t have to worry about it as much. I personally don’t see any benefit in doing this if I have to enter a password every time I plug the damn thing in. If you’re concerned about somebody stealing your laptop or desktop, the disk-encryption should be the least of your worries.

To the OC; if you happen to use GNOME, then check out the settings in the DISKS app. It has auto-unlock options in the per-drive settings. I long ago configured it so my USB is auto-unlocked upon being plugged in. Though after several system resets and such whatever I did to do that seems to no longer be visible in the GUI, I know that’s how I set it up in the first place.

Thanks for the information! I’ll look into it!

I’m using Bluefin right now, but I was using bazzite before that. I’d say the biggest benefit is that it’s hard to break permanently. Sure, you can still mess up your home directory pretty bad, but system level stuff is nice and stable. The biggest problem is compatability and software instalation. Flatpak and toolbox/distrobox are nowhere near as good as the documentation makes them out to be. I’d suggest making sure you select a distribution with Nix pre-installed so it’s still possible to install stuff.

(Edit: There is apparently a workaround for the following issue, though I have not tried if yet.) Just be aware that some things are just plain impossible with atomic distos, and you can’t change it. Like the login screen. You can’t change that at all, whether it’s the background or the default zoom level. It’s part of the system packages and can’t be fixed.

It’s great for user apps, gui apps, and sandboxing. It’s terrible for cli apps, libraries, development, and integration.

I went straight from Processing to Rust. You’d be surprised by just how many skills transfer over! I’ve found that it’s actually easier than other programming languages, aside from doing anything visual. I haven’t figured out how to do the same kind of graphics stuff as i could in processing just yet.

As for use cases? Processing is a learning tool, and it’s great for teaching as well. You can make some pretty great animations using it, and a lot of YouTubers use it internally to animate their math videos.

You’re welcome! It’s one of my favorite genres, so I happened to have a pretty big list on hand. I’m glad I could help.

There are plenty of stories like that, though? Thousands, probably. It’s a really popular genre. Granted, it’s usually people being reincarnated into fantasy worlds and such, so that might not be your cup of tea. Still, there’s always exceptions in any genre.

Some of my favorite fanfic ones are:

• Sublight Drive (Star Wars)
• Mass Effect: Jenkins Edition
• Borne of Caution
• The Many Lives Of Cadence Lee
• A Nerubuans Journey
• Orochitama
• Star Wars: A Penumbral Path

And some original works, too:

• Blue Core
• Burning Stars, Falling Skies
• God of Eyes
• His Magestys Immortal Academy
• In Loki’s Honor
• Molting the Mortal Coil
• Queen in the Mud
• The Snake Report
• The Simulacrum

These are just the ones that I found scrolling through my favorites list. There’s a lot more of these out there if you go looking.

I’m using the ddterm gnome extension, and it’s been the best I’ve tried so far. Lots of customization, very few bugs, and does exactly what you need it to with no bells or whistles to distract you.

Sounds great! I’ll try it sometime

Seems like a pretty good dish, I’ll have time to try it some time. Thanks for the suggestion!

I hadn’t thought of the fruit thing, so I’ll definitely be doing that. I’d imagine that buying a mango or something would be a lot better if I just sliced it and froze the slices. Same with bananas since peeling them after you freeze them is always such a pain.

Yah, advance meal prep is definitely a skill I need to get ahold of, same with meal planning.

I’ll look for some frozen veggies next time I go shopping. I usually only buy it when I’m making soup or something, but if I can find some of the non-mixed stuff (only carrots, for example) then that would be great.

That sounds pretty good! I’ll save your comment for later, so I can try it sometime. Thanks for the suggestion!

Looks interesting! Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll save the comment so I can try it out someday.
