I mean that does seem to make it pretty simple. However, the US imports roughly 460B annually from china, whereas china imports about 165B annually from the US. and China while doesn’t import as much as the US does, it also has vastly diversified it’s imports so while it might hurt losing the US if an embargo did occur, it would harm the US way more. About 14-15% of all imports the US does is from China, the US is only about 7% of China’s overall imports.

I’m not even convinced that it was a Chinese restaurant. I feel like he was talking to Vance or Musk and thought it was the Chinese Government.

Honestly for me it was starting Young. I can say wholeheartedly that if I hadn’t been working on operating Linux style systems in high school, there is no way in hell that if I tried starting it today that I would want to put myself through the hassle of not only learning it but also fixing it

So I’d have to say an energetic and perseverance and ambitious Style mindset

I love it.

I haven’t actually experienced this. I use my JF server on my roku, my Samsung tv (ok that was a pain because you have to side load it which requires a PC for TizenOs), all my families systems, and my tablet. The only systems I’ve found that seem to lack support of a jellyfin app is my ps5 and my xbox. It’s either been on native or been able to be side loaded on every smart tv I’ve used, and every mobile device has had an app in the app store allowing me to use it. I don’t understand the people saying there are no clients for it.

TIL that jellyfin doesn’t support an actual password reset. I’ve never had to actually try. That’s somewhat disappointing.

for real though, such a dumb decision on plex’s part lol

I really don’t see how anyone in their hierarchy thought this was a good idea.

There are at least 3 other competitors that moreorless work better than plex already does, without even having a subscription.

I’m amazed they decided to go this route, especially when migrating is as simple as uninstall plex, install competitor of choice(like jellyfin), and then just specify media locations.

the only real annoying part is remaking user accounts and losing watch progress/history, but there is usually a migration tool for that

for my server I use proxmox backup server to an external HDD for my containers, and I back up media monthly to an encrypted cold drive.

For my desktop? I use a mix of syncthing (which goes to the server) and windows file history(if I logged into the windows partition) and I want to get timeshift working I just have so much data that it’s hard to manage so currently I’ll just shed some tears if my Linux system fails

I mean, I don’t use the service but, $7-8 a month that gives you access to everything versus 14 to $16 a month per streaming service on everything else. It sounds like they’re still getting a steal at a more convenient rate.

Being said, yeah there is plenty of free options that could be being done as well so there is that argument

Mint is another good one, I would probably recommend against their Debian Edition(LMDE 6) though, it sounds good but, it’s their newer system so it doesn’t have all the bugs ironed out yet. I struggled with LMDE when I tried it last summer, which granted a lot of time has passed, but I rarely ever have an issue with their standard Linux Mint releases.

if you liked the design of older style windows (think like windows XP), you could look into Q4OS. I use it for my laptop and it’s Debian based so you will have pretty decent support applications wise and it has a pretty simple UI. I had never heard of it prior to a few months ago but I have had no issues with it.

Being said, I can’t remember if it has UnattendedUpgrades by default, but that program can be configured on any debian based system to allow for automatic updates. It does take a little bit of configuration if it isn’t pre-installed though.

yea, but I feel like it’s worth saying that steamdeck (where most of the steamos instances are) runs primarily in steam mode, and runs immutable OS by default so it’s pretty hard to actually mess that up. Plus steam manages most updates for you instead of you managing the updating yourself, which also helps remove the skill factor.

I hate that I noticed the syntax error on line 263 before I realized what the joke was. (at least I assume that 260 contains a function with a callback meaning it is missing the closing parenthesis)

Yeah but it was more so talking about how when Democrats are in power it’s okay to criticize both Democrat and republicans, however once Republicans are in power you’re not allowed to criticize Republicans because the power stigma shifts.

something that I’ve started noticing as of late as well. If you try to criticize the Republican Party you’ll be met with resistance, arguments and full shutdown leadin to personal attacks, where if you criticize the Democratic Party, they will still disagree with what you say but they’ll at least listen to you.

mines off as we speak. I always turn it off at night.

I think a big reason is, people always think it’s an all or nothing migration. Personally I still have a windows install on my system from when I migrated. Sure I can count on one hand the number of times ive had to actually use it, nor have I had to at all in the past few months, but it’s there in case I needed it.

I think people would be much more apt to do that, if they could realize that you can “try it” and if it doesn’t work then switch back again without much difficulty. Which most user friendly installs support dual booting, and the worse case scenario from it is that Windows decides to nuke the bootloader (which doesn’t happen as much anymore due to it changing to UEFI boot) and then at the end of the day, they still have the windows OS to fall on, and the linux OS still exists, it just doesn’t know its there which is a simple fix with just a google search and a boot repair disk (available on the same install medium that the original install was done with)

This is my boat with fish shell at the moment, like I started learning how to make scripts with it, and I very quickly realized that it’s definitely a minority shell, and that it’s not worth it to make scripts for, it’s missing functionality that normal bash has and has zero functionality with existing Scripts so I’m finding myself having to switch to bash anyway for most scripting.

I never really tried zsh, I might tinker with it if it does have that functionality as that’s the part I really like about fish

That’s really the best I can give you. The more you use the commands the easier they come to you.

Even novices can struggle with the command line. Don’t be afraid to search online for answers. I still need to look up arguments for things that I don’t use daily and I’ve been using Linux for almost 20 years now. Duck duck go and man are your friends.

One thing that I have found nice is using a shell that remembers what you have typed in the past because sometimes I will remember part of a command but not the whole thing, for example fish shell remembers commands and will start to auto fill commands that are typed as long as I have the beginning of the command correct and as long as I have typed the command in the past, which works wonders when you’re doing similar commands but with different file names or you are trying to remember the more advanced portions of git

A side note that I want to add regarding alternative shells be aware that every shell has its own strengths and weaknesses, for example fish shell is amazing for auto completion and plug in support, but it’s downside is it’s not compatible with standard bash Scripts and scripting as a whole on it is pretty mediocre

I default to tar -xvf and if that fails I google

I remember it due to the trinity on the keyboard, x skip a letter v then force the tip with f

eXtract Verbosely File just never really caught on for me
