Pre-Camp House Cleaning (midwest.social)

Hey all, with camp just a few weeks away I'd like to reach out to you and see what you would like to see. After all, this is YOUR forum much more than it is mine.

Anything you'd like to see from me? Any kind of content you'd like to do or take over? Anything I'm doing that annoys the hell out of you?

Generally I've been trying to do an opponent preview on Monday/Tuesday, game thread, and post game thread. And yeah, I've missed occasionally. Sorry.

Let me know what you think.

I've run a Raspberry Pi with PiHole for years on top of playing with Pi's and trying out distros with USB boot. I'm new to the day to day reality of living with Linux. So yeah, I'm still shifting my mindset to full time Linux. Great thing is Linux has improved so much. It's a long way better than trying to install Slackware in the late 90s.

And I went burn-the-ships with this move. I'm not dual booting, I backed up files, and formatted everything.

I found a comment on another website that said you have to install Steam/Lutris from the PopOS Deb package and not the flatpak. I know they were installed by flatbak from the Pop OS store. So uninstalled and reinstalled as the Deb package and I can know swap the install directory for games to another drive. One more step down in my Linux switch.

So just got my computer switched over to Pop! OS.

When I open the Pop Shop, the installers don't give me an option to change the location of the app installs. I have 4 disks, 2 nvmes, 2 hard disks. I would prefer to install some of my apps to the 2nd nvme, which I have mounted to /Apps. Mainly the games I will play, along with Stream and Lutris.

Would I need to install from the terminal with apt or nala? I installed nala because it looks cleaner, but we'll see.

The problem is we will have to go to war for it. I don't think many will.

Based on my experience working in a call center, I wouldn't call it unnecessary. People are fucked up.

Bates signed a 2 year deal with the Lions after visiting the Packers and Commanders. Bates gained attention in the UFL while on the Michigan Panthers, where he kicked game winning, 64 yard and 62 yard field goals. He was 17 of 22 (77%) for the Panthers, including 7 of 7 from 40-49 yards and 6 of 10 with 50+ yards.

Interesting they gave him a two year deal instead of a one year prove it deal. Maybe they anticipate him winning the job?

I'm so glad the Lions got the Jared Goff contract done. But by this time next year it won't look outrageous. Same thing happened the last time we resigned Stafford.

Lions sign Goff to a 4 year, $212M extension, with $170M guaranteed. The $53M AAV makes Goff the 2nd highest paid player in the NFL, behind Joe Burrow. For now.

The Lions have matched Brock Wright’s three-year, $12 million offer sheet with the San Francisco 49ers.

While LaPorta may be our #1 going forward, Wright played 44% of the Lions' snaps. He's still a big part of our offense.
