Don’t try to use it, it’s an old discontinued version of SteamOS based on Debian that was around long before the Steam Deck.

Bazzite will get you a similar experience to the current Steam OS with better desktop experience.

As you’ve been daily driving Linux for 7 years already, I don’t understand what issues you think you’ll have with Arch?

Worth trying Only Office and Libre Office side by side to see which one works better for your workflow.

They typically target transgender people or people with autism, And try to drive them to suicide. Because they think it’s funny.

They shared the manifesto of the Christchurch mosque shooter.

I’m not going into details about the people that have died. I’ll never forget refreshing my feed and the post about Near’s death appearing right in front of me.

Don’t feel conflicted. These are edgelords who want people to suffer for their amusement. But they’re organised and will carry out actions in real-life.

And I ask this because I’ve seen too much of their shit spread for years now; please don’t share links to their website. Know your enemy, but be smart about it.

My short to medium future is looking for a new job, and then working. So it’s looking like a bleak forecast.

But I have obtained all my childhood Lego sets, and my older daughter is just nearing 4 1/2 years, so I’m looking forward to showing her how to do this.

I don’t know if you cancan call it underrated, but bacon and egg is the best pizza

I bought the iPhone 13 mini as my first ever iPhone, because it was better sized than the android alternatives.

I’m seriously considering a feature phone instead for when this one eventually goes.

Would 2010s kids know what Teddy Ruxpin is? My partner was born ‘91 and she didn’t even know what it was.

Yes, a few songs from bands I’m not really that into, but great memories when I hear them.

Pinch Me by Bare Naked Ladies reminds me of sitting around in my friends room whilst he downloaded songs on Napster.

Every You Every Me by Placebo reminds me of a particular girls bedroom back in high school and the way she used to spray her deodorant everywhere before I visited.

Smells Like Teen Spirit just generally reminds me of old high school friends, the three of us - a punker, a metal head, and… all I can really say is, he liked the Prodigy… but we could all agree on putting on Nirvana and having a good time.

For anyone who is unaware of Kiwifarms…

“Kiwi Farms, formerly known as CWCki Forums (/ˈkwɪki/ KWIH-kee), is a web forum that facilitates the harassment of online figures and communities. Their targets are often subject to organized group trolling and stalking, as well as doxing and real-life harassment.[3][4][5] Kiwi Farms has been tied to the deaths of three people who were victims of harassment and died by suicide.[6][7][8]”

I have an external camera facing the front entrance to our property, and then some motion detection cameras inside, one pointing at each external door.

They don’t dial anywhere, just recording to surveillance rated SD cards. I have an option for them to call my phone when motion is detected, and I tried that out, it works fine. I only turn that in if we’re staying away from home.

This seems to be suitable for our area.

Neapolitan. We always seemed to have it around when I was very young.

I can only say, learn how to fix things. Like, everything. Because everything is going to fail at some point, and that $4000 quote to fix it doesn’t look so good.

Rodents or possums in the ceiling, call the local pest expert for advice. They’ll usually give you that because they don’t want to come out and get in your roof stage themselves.

Snakes? Don’t go under the house in hot weather. Keep trimming the grass/weeds close the house especially if your kids play there.

Invasive root systems like white poplar near the house? Either have a professional kill and relive the tree, or did up the roots every time you see a shoot come up.

Generally look around the house. Think about how each thing could fail (gutters, roofing, stairs, electrical, plumbing, paint, windows). Think of worst case scenarios for those things and what you would do if that happened. Prepare for it whether that means having the number of someone who can do it, or how you can do some DIY repairs, even if it’s temporary.

Finally. Bush fire. Are you prepared? Do you have a plan? Do you have timeframes for doing your bush fire preparations every year? Talk to neighbours and find out their plan and see if something similar works for you. You can stay at home and fight fires, but the mental toll of doing that can be crippling and possibly never recover. My plan is for the family to leave immediately, and I gather all our important stuff and follow as soon as possible.

If the Firefox thing is a real pain, do consider the librewolf project, since it won’t save your session every time, but also has ublock origin already set up by default.

Remember that even if you’re unsure some software is for you or not, just try the flatpak. One command to install, and one command to remove if you didn’t like it. Because it’s containerised you don’t need to worry about it leaving behind unused libraries or cluttering your system with leftover bits.

These aren’t unknown things. Airports are taken very seriously, and they work closely with regulators.

But especially when you’ve worked in a high reliability airport, you can’t help when you travel to others and notice where they’re falling behind, things they haven’t done yet. Etc.

Do you need Timeshift on an opensuse system? I haven’t used Leap, but had a Tumbleweed install for years which has Snapper pre installed.

You can install btrfs-assistant to help you manage snapper. You could have it create backups of your /home, then you can rollback if you think you’ve messed up too much.

The firefox thing seems just firefox behaviour to me. Does it not do that in Windows? But you could use a firefox based browser that respects privacy more. Librewolf and zen browser you can install via Flathub or an appimage from their website. Librewolf at least will by default end and forget a session when you close the browser.

(FYI - best way to deal with appimages is to install Gearlever from flathub, then when you download an appimage you open gearlever and “install” the appimage. Gearlever is just for better integrating appimages into your system but also for keeping them updated).

My last Tumbleweed install I ran from 2019 to 2023. During this time flatpaks got a lot better and flathub got a lot more programs available. Now I use flatpaks as my first option for software, unless I think it’s something that will give me problems being containerised.

Opensuse 1-click… you’re right, those can be a pain. You often end up adding additional repos, and it’s never fun trying to clean up the problems that come with that after a while.

My suggestion is search for “opensuse ‘programs name’” and see if they maintain it in their repository first. (You can use Opensuse’s preinstalled Yast to search for it even to keep it simple). If no, look for it on flathub, remember to look to see when the flatpak was last built, in case it’s been unmaintained for a while. Failing that, check the developers page (usually GitHub or gitlab or similar) to see if they have recommended steps for install.

I didn’t think you made stuff up. I thought you were making an interesting point at first (why I asked for more detail), but then you rambled on vaguely and didn’t answer my question at all.

I’ll go look into ARM somewhere else.

Going out to pubs and pointing out all the missing or lacking essential safety measures.

Going pretty much anywhere and talking about the breaches of electrical safety requirements.

In airports and explaining all the ways they aren’t complying with safety regulations. And now that I don’t work in an airport anymore I don’t know what to do with all that VERY specific knowledge.

And you could moonlight as a shadowrunner.
