You good? We're talking about PDFs and physical books homie. Take a breath.

Physical books are great. Internet goes out or other devices die and you need to complete work. These are reasons I like to have book references.

Also, one of my favorite things to do when reading is writing in my margins. When I figure something out or find something interesting I like to write it in my own words in the margins, and then if I have to reference again, I have my own words and explanation in the margins to help myself understand faster and better.

I also like to add sticky notes for the same purpose.

This is a good point. Generally if can accomplish what I want with my own scripts, I will go that route. I'll probably avoid adding additional software to the mix since what I have works fine enough.

I'll check it out! Thanks!

I run a Fedora server.

All of my apps are in docker containers set to restart unless stopped by me.

Then I run a cron job that is scheduled at like 3 or 4am that runs docker pull on all containers and restarts them. Then it runs all system updates and restarts the server.

Every week or so I just spot check to make sure it is still working. This has been my process for like 6 months without issue.

I want to upgrade my steam deck, but I am not big on upping the resolution, nor would I choose to go to 16:9 over 16:10. Add to that the 140$ price point (which is probably a totally fair price, just not worth it for me), and this is a hard pass for me.

I just tried tailscale in the last month and it will now be my preferred way to access my services outside of my network.

The ability to read, and maybe watch a video. And then persistence for some of the trial and error you will run in to. All skills you need can be picked up with the above.

I have similar experiences. I am 6'9" and weight 290lbs. I also have daughters, so I try my best to not be intimidating. Doesn't always work, but at least I can say I try.

Works great for me. I hate celebrating my birthday. The People that do know my birthday usually forget with the other festivities. Wins all around.

I've been rocking a 1080ti since launch. Upgraded my 4th gen i7 to a 9th gen i9 on a sale a few years back. SSD upgraded when I got some that were going to be recycled.

Eventually I want to move to team red for linux compatibility. Other than that, I am sticking with what I have. (Doesn't help that I have 2 small children that all my money goes to. )

This is the only way I would upgrade my shipment 2 steam deck. At current prices, the OLED is a great deal, just not quite a compelling enough upgrade for me to pull the trigger.

If not this, then I will be eagerly waiting for whatever the true second gen steam deck will be.
