Why is an HOA looking after the building and public spaces? That should be either the landlord/building owner and the local council responsibility. HOA are bullshit which ever way you look at them.

Can I still hum their tunes to myself?

Endeavour OS

I’ve tried all the usual distros many times over the years but never an arch based distro until last year. I gave arch a go first and it was great but then tried endeavouros and it came with the fixes I needed and was more instantly good from the first boot. The AUR and arch wiki stuff just makes the whole experience most (sry to use this term) Windows like in terms of fixes and support.

Yip. I was trying to find a useful front end to manage the audio settings on my focusrite audio interface. Pipewire has the functions and capability to set the sample rate and buffet size on the fly but I failed to find a gui until for it that wasn’t part of some other complicated thing. When I suggested the Devs of pipewire should provide a GUI I was politely shot down. The reasons given were; it takes too long, and Linux users don’t mind the CMD line. I think this is a mind-set that needs to evolve.

It is always hard to pick just one, but I usually pick either one of the culture novels, or Sophie’s World by Jostein Gaarder.

Yeah but the anticipation of “when is the alien going to pop out” is only there on the first watch. I’ve watched it a bunch so can never recover that one.

Game: To the moon

Book: The Culture novels by Iain M. Banks

TV: Star Wars Rebels

Movie: Alien

More GUI front ends for stuff. This takes away the need to understand command line tools and syntax, and makes the out-of-the-box experience feel more like it just works.

Notepad++

I like Nano. I think it is quite good. There, I said it.

I honestly love Powershell, but haven’t tried the Linux version yet. I only use Bash on linux but it has a load of odd quirks that make it unpleasant to use imo. Can’t comment on anything else.

Roblox not working is annoying. I play a bunch of stupid Roblox games with my kids and switching back to Windows just for that is a pain.

I’m at the point of looking to pay for a good usenet service. I’ll definitely probably start looking next week.

I loved the original game and was about to buy the new one, but I did not expect it to be $30. I’ll wait for a sale.

I did this years ago. I had read a bunch of scare stories about Google cutting people off from their Gmail accounts and having no path to appeal.

I setup a domain name that is just my full name .com and used a mail service like proton or titan mail. I setup a few accounts (shopping@, work@, games@, myname@, me@) and gave them aliases, for example Shopping has paypal@ and Amazon@.

It is extremely unlikely anyone will want my domain name, so if my mail provider closes down or kicks me out I can just find another and repoint my DNS records to the new one.

I recently had issues with my DNS registrar primary servers going down, and titan mail was costing more than I liked when the renewal came up, so I’ve now moved to porkbun and mxroute and I’m very happy.

At best it is a technical forum for me. I have an account I’ve used since the days of the great digg migration. A lot of communities grew and became fun but most are now either dead or crap.

I’ve played this game every year since 1998, and each year I try a wider range of distros. Long story short, EndeavourOS is the first distro that worked reliably and has by far the best support resources.

Yeah that’s where I’m at as well. Irritating not world ending.
