Yeah, 4 is tricky socially and 8 is tricky anatomically. I touch it to something, as an alternative to holding it up.

Using binary with bent/straight fingers gets you up to 31. There are other ways - like touching your thumb to different phalanges of different fingers, for 0…12.

What’s a tactical shooter anyway? Here’s a shooter, tactical or not: https://flathub.org/apps/com.realm667.Wolfenstein_Blade_of_Agony … oops, it’s “source available”, but not libre.

We’re at Linux@lemmy.ml, hon. The average user uses a package manager. The majority of software is open-source and compiles for ARM just fine. Games excepted, but they won’t run on the low specs anyway.

Inside a particular text file, you can use a modern text editor - (Neo)Vim, Helix, probably others let you to copy/paste via named “registers” (places to store copied stuff). Select something, then "ay to copy into “a”, then "bp to paste from “b”.

• The Prelude to Faun’s Afternoon, by Ravel, is dope.
• Magnificat, by Arvo Pärt - the Voces8 sung it really well.
• … there’s too much good music in the world to list it all.

The obvious sane default is 1 partition covering the whole disk, + EFI system partition. What’s there to offer…

You misspelled KeepAss.

The question on my mind is - was that a Tesla?

Amanita virosa. You die in horrible pain.

I love my walks (2× 30 minutes a day, usually). So does my perambulated pooch.

I’m using EFISTUB instead of a boot loader (on the PC running Arch, anyway) and Windows hasn’t figured out how to break that, yet.

Somehow it hasn’t figured out how to ruin my systemd-boot bootloader on EFI, (NixOS, this time) either. Perhaps it just has better support for EFI than BIOS?

When they got home, they were so hungry that they actually consented to eating soup!

By the way, it’s totally possible to ride on level ice, if careful, but some trails have this compacted ridge in the middle which makes them convex.

A bit late to the party, but I took my kids out for a bicycle ride (into the nearest bog, so we walked part of the way). The bits where the ground was still covered with ice were the most fun.

Play video games - Cataclysm:DDA or Dwarf Fortress (tho I stayed on the pre-Steam version as it’s lighter on the CPU).

Learn a new programming language at https://exercism.org

Read a book - tons of free ones around the interwebs, legally or not, as you desire.

Install a new operating system. Try Haiku or OpenBSD. See if your phone is compatible with PostmarketOS. If not, Termux + SSH + port forwarding in your WiFi box, set up a webserver and publish something. Host a Gemini pod.

Learn a craft. Repair something that another person would toss. Start a sourdough culture - it takes a week to mature (read up on how to do this right), then bake a bread. Homemade bread is approx 16× tastier than run-of-the-mill commercial stuff.

Take a walk somewhere you haven’t walked before. Find the nearest forest lake and arrange a picnic. Take someone with you on the 2nd trip.

In general, I support your stance. The devil is in the details, though, so to speak. You can only get so much evidece first-hand, and need to believe others about the rest. How do you distinguish fraudsters from honest bet mistaken people from people knowing the truth?

Fundamental logic skills also imply that atheism is a belief “God doesn’t exist!”

As an upgrade, try agnosticism: “Do we have good evidence that God exists?” So far, the only argument in favor of atheism I know of is the Occam’s Razor (those manifestations of God could also be explained in other, possibly simpler ways).

I’m running my email server on a POCO F1 ex-Android phone (running PostmarketOS now).

I wish I could get NixOS running on it, then I’d move other things also there.

I’m using VNC over an SSH tunnel. TigerVNC’s vncviewer even has the -via parameter you can use to make creating the tunnel seamless.

Here’s a couple of pointers to get started:

1. The Arch Linux Wiki is full of excellent information. It’s not for beginners, though.
2. Run top in your terminal to see what’s taking CPU.
3. Run top -o RES (or what’s easier, run top and then press M while it’s running) to see what is taking up RAM.

… though unfortunately, it’s mighty probable that the only significant consumer of memory and CPU is your browser. Get uBlock Origin, it helps web pages be lighter and eat less resources. Don’t open too many tabs at once - learn to use bookmarks efficiently, instead (folders, bookmarks toolbar and whatnot).
