When you mention putting the

/home

elsewhere, that's something I do when setting up a distro install? I can't recall from the last time I did a system install of mint. Sounds extremely helpful so I would like to do it next time

Yea my 5a has the correct placement - I upgraded out of wanting a better phone camera. Got the 8 pro and not that much is different anyways.

Ahh. My 8 really ticks me off.

JUST PUT IT ON THE BACK...

I hate that my screen blinds me and people nearby when I use biometrics. I understand the security problems with bio too, I guess I ought to just delete the option.

Soft or hard side suitcase for the carryon? Or neither? 1 pair of shoes? I lose all my space to a spare pair of shoes

It sold before I ever heard back, damn you marketplace!

Yeah, plus it has quite low miles according to the pictures considering the age. Thanks for the reminder

 

These 20+ year old cars just call out to me...

Yes! That's what I do. I tried the container thing and actually just couldn't figure it out - so I learned about profiles. I like on Linux using shortcuts to make multiple Firefox icons for my 2 profiles.

Left handed, left pocket, nothing else in that pocket. Sometimes left coat or jacket pocket but prefer pants.

As in, if you were applying to delivery positions but you know they'll test for cannabis, would you even apply / interview? What about in a jurisdiction where the drug is recreationally legal?

Slightly different but if anyone else uses Hulu on Firefox it tends to get worse and worse about a lag between the audio and video and needs to be refreshed. Very frustrating

 

However, I also ordered a new head unit and learned I'll have to take the knob off in order to get the new radio in, so I did some redundant work. Mildly frustrating to have to repeat the steps. The car front seats are also not comfortable while working on the center of the cabin. I've never been in another car with such rigid left and right sides of the seat parallel to my legs.

 

I've been struggling to get ratios over even 1.0, most are stuck in the low 0.10 - 0.20 range. I don't seed off my gaming PC 24/7 because I don't want a VPN on all the time, plus I turn it off at night.

So mainly wondering if anyone has tips on a good setup to keep the PC seeding overnight, I'm running linux mint currently. I also have a RaspPi but I understand they are not great for torrents?

Is there any good way to compartmentalize a VPN? I.e., use the VPN for qBitTorrent only, and use my regular network adapter for other stuff (games, browsers, whatever).

I've tried a seedbox in the past and they're neat, but I'd rather avoid a subscription and just use my hardware. I'm using Private Internet Access VPN until my already paid for time is up in case that's significant.

 

I play a lot of windowed games on my PC as I watch less engaging content like TV I've seen, Youtube. Lately Balatro, Peglin, a racing game called art of rally, Mini Motorways. Interested to hear other people's preferences.

I generally want something that runs well windowed because I use a third of my ultrawide to run the video, so no shooters or "big" games usually.

 

I wanted a simple way to make a fun background for my desktop, and I found it! I used the pattern generator and highly recommend messing with it and the gradient maker. Please check it out just for the UI, it's awesome. I attached the hexagon background I made.

 

Just bought an "enhanced eBook", accessible only through Yuzu (Barnes and Noble's site) and I would love to rip it to PDF and get it on libgen. Does anyone have any advice or tutorial for this?

I don't have much experience with writing scripts but I understand I could use python to screenshot and append all 800+ pages as well. Looking for how to do this if it's what I have to do.

Thanks, and happy to provide more relevant info if needed!
