I just want to say how happy I am that good sounding audio equipment and large screen TVs are relatively cheap. With a bit of research and tinkering, one can have a nice A/V setup for not much $$$. Of note, I am very impressed with the audio quality of Class D amplifiers nowadays. I was conditioned to believe that Class D would always be inferior until I tried it myself.

A TV that is not connected to the internet is effectively just a large monitor.

I understand that some TVs lock functionality and coerce you into connecting it to the network, but most of them function well as monitors. I know it's tempting to make use of the "smart" features since it's included, but if you care about privacy, it's better to keep it off the internet.

That happened in the previous loop. This time-traveller ruined his life with hookers and blow, so instead of giving his younger self quick riches, he gave solid financial advice instead.

Would you mind telling us more about your exotic industrial camera and how you managed to salvage it? I love learning more about topics like this.

If your back is constantly itchy, it's possible that you could benefit from exfoliating your skin. I use these salux cloths for my back and all over when I shower. My back scratching tool is now collecting dust and also, my keratosis pilaris issues went away after about a year.

While you may trust implicitly, many have witnessed and experienced enough injustice to understand how the world works.

I never knew about apt-file! Thanks!

  1. Add myself to the sudoers group: sudo usermod -a -G sudo myusername
  2. Updated my sources list to include main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
  3. Enable multi-arch (for Steam): sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

I use KDE and something that annoys me is that file explorers launch files on single click, so I always have to change that to double click in System Settings.

My distro is Debian, but I installed it using the Linux (generic amd64) method as posted on https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/installation/linux. I picked this method because I liked the installation instructions. All the files would be in a folder that I specified, I'm accustomed to using systemd to manage services, and the only manually installed dependency is FFmpeg.

I use docker for some other things, but since docker does take some effort to learn (it's easy but it still slows me down), I ended up sticking with my manual Linux (generic amd64) installation. Upgrading versions is as simple as extracing the latest file to a folder, updating a symbolic link, and restarting the service. I may choose docker in the future, but haven't had any problems for the 3-4 years that I've been doing it this way.

I just wanted to chime in to say that I used clonezilla today to move my 250G ssd to 1TB. It was easy and fast. I used ventoy (a usb iso loader) to load stable clonzilla live. I'll only mention the major options, which were disk-to-disk, expert mode, and then -k1 (to resize the partition accordingly.

I now constantly test myself to see if I'm overlooking the truth. Refusal to admit reality or refusal to acknowledge an unpleasant truth can ultimately hold you back.
