I wouldn't try it, myself. This was a factory swap. The more common 91mm model with the corkscrew is the Spartan. I was in a youth organization at the time that frowned on corkscrews because apparently children shouldn't be drinking wine.

No problem. Almost identical to the one that started the thread, except the corkscrew got swapped out for a phillips-head screwdriver.

Yellow scales are a great way to go!

I have a Tinker redone in yellow on my keychain and finding my keys has become way less difficult. I've had the knife for three decades and it didn't truly become my EDC until I rescaled it.

Part of it is the same reason that Debian users bash Ubuntu or Mint users. Why use a derivative when the original works well?

That is a bit superficial, though. Debian isn't ideal for everybody and neither is Arch. I've used Manjaro before. I like the installation process for general desktop use. Easy and straightforward. People who are used to graphical OS installers may be put off by Arch's approach. I don't distrohop personally and stick with Arch (btw), so OS installation is a one time headache for every device and archinstall is doable. I think the Arch installation process can be a sort of insider shibboleth for self-identifying linux badasses and a graphical install (for them) is missing the point of Arch. Whatever.

I saw a few posts on edditRay that critiqued the Manjaro team for failing to renew SSL certificates one or more times. That may have led to a perception that the team is not competent to run a distro, which seems like a very harsh position to take.

Also, Manjaro holds back updates from time to time for further testing/stability. This goes against the point of a rolling release distro to an extent, since you aren't technically getting the very latest software. The tradeoff may make sense for you, though.

You can try copying over your dotfiles if you switch to Arch or Arco. That might be a good start for the overall layout. You might need to install any extra packages used by manjaro in addition to sway for icons, menus, power management, backgrounds, etc.

You could functionally accomplish something like this by setting the second drive as your /home partition. An advantage of this is that you can preserve your user files even if you end up wiping and reinstalling your OS, since your home directory would be on a totally different drive.

A few enemy tears are just fine in a gin martini, either directly or as an olive brine additive.

Getting the proot distro to output an x11 display to the vnc server seems to be a bit more challenging that I was hoping. If I can find a guide that helps me figure this out, I'll post a link here.

Imteresting. I'll give arch a try when I get a chance for a second data point.

It is good for the people around me, which is what matters to me once I have coffee in my system.

Just be sure to install it from the F-Droid store. My understanding is that the google play version is no longer updated.

Okay, I'm seriously impressed. A buddy of mine has a garage setup where he uses a turbo oven lid with a rotary popcorn popper base, but this looks like a MUCH better way to get even roasting on the beans. What a great project!

I'm intrigued. When I look up drum roasters, I see a lot of different things. Same goes for turbo oven, so I'm having a bit of difficulty visualizing your setup. Can you put up a photo or some model numbers?
