Massive of massives, what do you think?

I made a rewatch somewhat recently, right before the 4th part was released. And honestly, I don’t even remember my impression. All I remember is some mix of a disappointment, but I had my expectations very low. Watching the 2nd and 3rd films in my childhood, I hated them, so worse (and somewhat complicated) they were in comparison to the 1st one. However, this time, being much older and all, I was surprised they’re not as ass as I remembered them. I’d call them ok, just good enough, but surely worse than the 1st one, the undoubted masterpiece.

I still don’t get it why would I want it over Arch.

Edit: wow, so many great replies! Thank you guys!

If so, I’d rather keep using it with like 10 different accounts (to overcome free limits, when needed) in Firefox containers.

Hey, but the deal is expired in 11 hours, are you gonna buy it for the lowest price in the universe? By the way, only one item (on the planet) left, hurry up plz.

I was able to run Apple AirPort Utility for managing my Apple AirPort Extreme router. It has no web interface, but an app for all Apple platforms, and Windows too. The Utility for Windows is slightly better than macOS or iOS (in my opinion). It works well, and I’m happy that by migrating to Linux I’m still able to manage my router. There’s no more routers from Apple, and there’s no more updates to the app either, so I’m happy it’d stay that way. Perhaps I needed some tiny tuning to run the app, I won’t recall now.

I have the article about it in my not deployed yet blog, so I’d link it, but I need to deploy it first. (Would take me some time.) I have more details there. But overall, it was good.

Also, I was able to run Pro100 software for 3D modelling of furniture for my friend. It was working well, I did that with Bottles since his Fedora installation was atomic (Silverblue). It was okay, almost as good as on Windows, with some tiny nuances.

I’m happy to see others telling about their apps they were successfully launching and working with. Personally, I’m very interested in the graphical stack (like Adobe or Affinity apps), but I haven’t tried them yet. I’ve seen someone has success of installing modern Photoshop, but no more than that.

While I’m not a fan of 8 GB RAM for a new laptop, I’ve used a Fedora Gnome system for a year or two, with just 4 GB RAM. I used it for simple tasks in a workshop, and it was a usable computer. It struggled only when I opened too many browser (Firefox) tabs. If I kept the browser tabs count low, it wasn’t that bad. Also, I used the same system with 8 GB RAM, and it was much much better. To the point you won’t really notice it’s something limiting. So, technically, 8 GB is plenty for an average light use.

Excuse me for not having too much to say besides everyone else in this thread. I just wanted to check-in and say something that I felt upvoting everyone isn’t enough. Wish you all the recovery you can get, and thank you for inspiring too. You’re doing great, at least your grammar is quite good for the situation. Cheers!

Why both Netbird and ZeroTier? Don’t they conflict with each other?

Is it good? I have tried some ollamas about a year ago, but sadly they were not usable to me, and I gave up on exploring them further. I think I’d like to try again, but I keep postponing that.

Also, a bit of off-topic, but still remotely relevant. Recently, I needed to make a colour scheme for the project, and we had some dark colour theme, I needed a white theme. I provided the colours to a GPT (I guess any can do well here) and asked what’s the colour scheme. Turned out that was pretty popular theme, with light modifications. Which had a light counterpart, which I used as-is.

Saying that, I think it can help you to quickly explore the colour themes and find the one you seek.

What’s OS age, may I ask? I assume that’s the first time you installed your system, but how it knows the date? I assume it’s when you did that pacstrap.

Is it just some parameter somewhere in fastfetch’s config?

C’mon, is it news? Isn’t that the reason we’re all here?

Here’s my story on Medium about my journey from Reddit, to X, to Substack! Like and subscribe guys!

And yeah, Hong Kong is cool! I was there before the protests, so I’m not aware how different it is now. I guess it’s still the same for an average tourist though.

Well, it’s just a very small and narrow rice cooker you can have in your backpack while travelling. It’s a fat thermos size, and you can cook a portion for two with it. A regular rice cooker is just big and isn’t comfortable to carry while travelling.

Mostly in Thailand, but also Malaysia, Singapore, and Hong Kong, where I travelled to. I’ve bought a portable tiny rice cooker in Hong Kong, to be able to keep it in my backpack. Never used! So, I actually brought two rice cookers back home! I really forgot about the tiny one.

These days I do rice or other similar dishes in a regular pot, and it’s the same to me, more or so. Perhaps that’s just skill, I don’t know. Maybe I’m missing something and not noticing.

I’m on Arch, but I’ve been improving my system for years, and only recently I felt I’m settled more or so. I’m so sad I haven’t been keeping a blog about my journeys, I started one, and now trying to write things in retrospect is challenging and takes too much effort, I’m thinking of giving up. Do you guys have places where you share what you do and why? I’d love to read. Not many things are obvious, even for me. That’s why normies aren’t doing it. They are not aware there’s Colemak or Dvorak.

I’m willing to cry over all this, I cannot understand why it works like that. It’s not cheaper, and even if you’re optimising costs, it’s still cheaper to hire one competent guy than ten incompetent ones.

I couldn’t imagine my life without a rice cooker when I lived in Asia, but in Europe, I don’t really use mine a lot. I just use regular pot and it’s so easy to make rice for me, I am too lazy to take a rice cooker for the task. I don’t know why. I literally brought a rice cooker I’ve bought in Asia, all the way to Europe. It’s not used much now.
