Very good at counting.

I was just thinking about why many things on Linux are better. Like the install process on Linux is years ahead of windows.

Then it occurred to me that windows only improves things that can make them money. If you need to install windows, then you can deal with the crappy installer.

Linux devs improve the parts they think need to be better. The decisions are not guided by money and can be made without bias.

Accidentally wipes out Mint last week, but have been meaning to try out Fedora 39 Plasma. So far, I love it. I have been really busy recently, but it has been a great system so far. My SteamDeck really made me fall in love with Plasma.

My family is from the east cost and we turned the light off in the rooms we were not using. Of course there were times where we forgot, but I think it’s a common thing to do.

I know that creators do not get ad revenue if you use an adblocker, so I assume it works the same way for things like free tube.

Linux tech tips has talked a bit about adblocker on YouTube and so has Louis rossman. I think they can see it

They mentioned something about authentication changes. So I’m guessing it’s related to that.

It looks like a 256gb ssd costs about the same as a flash drive. So I’ll probably go that route.

Thanks! I have a spare enclosure and an ssd is about the same cost as a usb drive is similar cost.

Thanks! I decided to go the ssd route. It’s priced about the same as a usb drive of the same capacity and I have spare enclosures.

I thought mechanical drives are Ok to move around if they are powered off.

Thanks! I don’t mind spending some money, what I was trying to communicate is that I don’t want to spend $1000 on some solution.

I think I’ll get a mechanical drive and a few 256gb usb drive or maybe an ssd and have a few off site copies in case one medium fails.

I’ve never had an ssd go bad, but I’ve had external mechanical drives fail over time, so I’ve been hesitant to trust them.
