A realist would get to the store and see they only sold eggs by the dozen and get 6 cartons of milk. 6 eggs isn’t an available option so they must have been referring to the milk.
It’s also possible they could have meant 6 dozen eggs.

So we have a ghost tabby (void). She’s licensed through the city as “Fluffy Butt of the North”. Yes, she was named after Tina and GoT

OnlyCats… It exists.

Right, it’s just the side-bar makes the distinction between “online services” and “self-hosted” so I wasn’t sure.

A place to share alternatives to popular_ online services_ that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.

VPS is self-hosted?

Check out Woot! Right now they’ve got Win10/111 Pro for $20.99 or Home for $18.99. Not sure what that converts to for Euros, but I’m confident it comes out less than 150 of them.

Easy, in the movie Twins I’d swap Arnold for Danny.

I firmly believe that this information (but for porn) would increase adoption of the software being advertised.

I buy 10-12 pairs of the same sock. They all go in the same drawer, unmatched. Socks do not have a left/right, so if one gets a hole or what not, it becomes a rag and I don’t even notice its gone.

Said they’d have to “look into it”. Called back 20 minutes later to inform that they decided to approve the procedure.

Then I’m full of shit and my wife’s reverse shoulder joint is a figment of our collective imaginations.

I speak from experience. Blue Cross has not argued or denied any of our doctors’ requests since the second time I used that method.
Had a specialist tell my wife she needed a shoulder replacement. Insurance wanted her to do physical therapy. I was livid. “I want the license number of the doctor on your end who is deciding that physical therapy is going to some how magically fix torn rotator cuff tendons. Telling our medical specialist that physical therapy is required is a medical decision that contradicts their diagnosis that it needs replaced. If we follow your recommendation and it fails, I need the name and license number of who to go after for making that decision. Shielding this professional, and I use that term loosely, indicates that you’re willing to assume all the liability when “physical therapy” causes more pain and damage.”

LPT: If your doctor firmly believes that you require X treatment/medication/etc. Have them use the specific term “medically necessary”. If your insurer kicks it back with that phrasing attached, contact them. Ask for the medical license number of the doctor who indicated that it was not medically necessary. Push for this information (they won’t have it) and continue the line of “Someone on your end is making a medical decision against my doctors orders. I require their credentials so I can confirm they are a) qualified to make medical decisions, and b) have a higher education that my doctor possesses.”

Or set up a second pi-hole.

True, but most of the fixes are super dumbed down (for the audience).

I agree with China on this one. Stop posting pictures. Instead upload actual documentation/manuals to Discord to get War Thunder devs to fix the stats.

Like a Pi based tablet?

Back in the late 1900s, you could open a laptop and remove a hard drive with only a #2 phillips screw driver. So I think they mean that. Physically remove your Windows drive, install a fresh drive, install/play/learn Linux. With your Windows drive disconnected, you can do ANYTHING in Linux without fear of losing any data on that other drive.

Frustrated and just “need to work”? Reverse the process back to the Windows drive.

Feeling a little more confident and want to access your files on the Windows drive? Get a SATA-USB adapter. No need to go all enclosure just yet as that just adds steps when you need the Windows setup.

Comfortable in Linux? Copy your important data over to the Linux system, format the original drive, NOW put it in an enclosure for a handy backup drive.

Feeling confident in your newfound prowess? Connect that external drive to a Raspberry Pi and turn the Pi into a basic NAS, maybe drop a little VPN on it, and now you can access that device/drive from anywhere. At the very least, you now have a place to backup important data in case the laptop falls into a volcano. Hell, now you’ve got a reason to subscribe to SelfHosted & HomeLab.

Reference: 1998-2001 I ran a “dual boot” using removable hard drive bays on a full tower system. As noted above, Windows can sometimes mess up what makes your dual boot possible.

Currently running Mint on an older HP Envy AMD laptop to get back into the Linux swing. Win10 is my daily driver on the desktop from that need of things to work. When you’re fixing other people’s/company’s computers all day, the last thing you want to do is work on your own computer. That and a lack of real gaming support/documentation forever ago is what pushed me back to Windows. The old argument of “Linux is free” wasn’t too heavy a talking point when MS kept giving me free licenses to stick with what I was more comfortable with. Win11 reminds me of Win8, reminds me of WinME, and the cycle of MS dysfunction continues. I want off the ride.

With Gaming as viable as it is on Linux, plus much nicer tools for VMs (AND Docker exists now), I’ve got about year to convert my daily driver desktop (2025 end of Win10).

Oh and I did try to put Arch on that laptop. It was overwritten by Mint as soon as it booted up without a GUI. Now, might of been my fault for using a “base image” or something, but again I need it to just work without spending what limited time I have trying to make it work. But hey, at least folks aren’t trying to get you to install Slackware from 3.5" floppies.

Mitch McConnell should be fired!!
