When that forum is a reddit thread:

“I got it working on my end.”

“How did you solve the problem?”

“This message has been script deleted because reddit was stupid salmon truck cantaloupe spezsucks”

“Wow, that fixed it! Thanks! I have no problems with it now at all!”

Yeah don’t mess with the Debian gang. They’ll take forever to reach you but when they eventually do, they’ll be ready. XD

Haha, I’m seriously wondering if there’s not some kind of script we’re supposed to run first that’s like “Okay, new stable release now. Fetch and replace the latest repos!” Maybe in the desktop environment?

At least like with most things, Linux Mint I remember being so easy to upgrade to a whole new release right there in that universal update program. I don’t have to worry about that tangling up anyone I set up with it. It actually feels exciting hahaha.

All that being said: Rolling or point release or whatever – SET UP SNAPSHOTS. YOU’RE WELCOME. o_o hahaha

Haha Debian is really cool and I’m glad it’s there! Definitely rock solid! Don’t wanna throw any shade at their very important work. :)

…I’m just too goofy to update it properly sometimes. 😅 Skill issue lol.

I’m probably a big newb, but on my headless Debian machines, major updates screw me up sometimes too.

• “Ah! All my updates can’t be found on the server? Oh we’re done with “Bo-Peep” and moving to “PotatoHead” now? Maybe I should be on the newsletter or something…”
• Change some sources in that one text file I gotta look up every time…
• apt update && apt dist-upgrade “Oh, that’s a lot of errors…”

I’m sure it’s not that bad and I’m being dramatic but I do kinda appreciate my rolling OpenSUSE Tumbleweed for this reason lol. I feel like newbies would struggle with that major release upgrade process…

Damn! Broke…broke my knife…!

Olioliolioliolioooo!!! 😮

Blender’s workflow of “One hand never leaves the mouse” is brilliantly underrated. They’ve made the UI more newbie accessible but I always encourage new folks to learn the hotkeys from the start, because you can get SO FAST!!

Thumb on the spacebar and left pinky pulling double duty between CTRL and Shift! :p

Smart cookie, you assumed correctly! :)

It was a hard habit to form if you were taught that way, but it does wonders once you learn it.

Yeah, I feel like Discord (ugh) got that way quick, too, in more populated rooms. IIRC, IRC didn’t have that “quote for context” either, so if you were hunt-and-pecking the conversation already moved on lol.

There we go!

I spent more time socializing on World of Warcraft than actually leveling. Had lots of friends, and since been happily married to my best one!

Touch typing skills were essential, especially mid-combat.

…Or being the undiagnosed ADHD socialite I was, keeping like 8 running whisper and guild chats going in the game’s single chat window at once… 😂

Just looking at it made me angry thanks!

Lol

There it is, the 50 pin connector the A+ test asked about! XD

I’ve heard self-hosters say USB isn’t great for server / NAD drives long term but I don’t know where they get that. It actually sounds pretty rad to have a small server plugged into a powerful dedicated enclosure! Especially with those Thunderbolt speeds.

But wow that IS stupidly complicated. I have all those different USB ports on my motherboard IO and I get the nagging feeling I’m not taking advantage of them but also…whatever, don’t care, they do the simple jobs. Lol

to eject a disk, you just did the oh-so-fucking-intuitive thing of dragging the disk icon over the trash can icon.

"Ah yes, just delete the disk to eject the disk drive. Of course!"

That’s such a crime against UI LOL.

Especially because I am sure it feels very scary to people with important data on the disk.

That would be a neat shortcut for formatting it though lol.

Handle checks out 👍

We’d literally and figuratively come full circle back to barrel plugs hahaha.

This got weird SO fast.

This one won’t automatically be a spy for any agency that asks tho, so that’s cool…
