I don’t have a good primary source, its been a lot of disparate googling. But if you have any questions at all, let me know. I love helping
Same. I went from one overly complicated Debian install to two dozen neat and self contained VMs that do one thing each. I even tricked a Windows VM into not knowing that it’s a VM, so I can game with anticheat games.
You know that you dont have to pay for a Windows license right? You can permanently activate it (and any version of office) with a script. I found some article a while ago talking about it, some official Microsoft tech support used it because they were frustrated with Windows, so it’s legit
I do computer repair/tech support for just a small business. I haven’t used Windows on a a personal machine in a looong time, but that script helps me when I get stuck at work
Cloudflare has a free tier for domains, although they’re a little sketch. But they also support DDNS, so which updates the IP that your domain points to when it changes
Hell yeah dude, same! I just re-downloaded that a month ago!
I’m with you there. A couple winters ago I was a delivery person, I dropped a package on someone’s porch and I heard a little meow. Couple seconds later this little furball was climbing up my pant leg.
I knocked on the door to talk to the homeowner who said his mother had been hit by a car, and she had a cantankerous dog so she couldn’t take care of him. So I took him
I feel extremely responsible for my cat. He’s not like an “accessory” he’s something I made a commitment to saving and is dependent on me
Ayy nice, good call. Everyone needs some Matt Gourley in their life
Ayy Debian has been my main for like ten years. Dtrx is one of the ten things I apt immediately every time I have a re install
Broken how? I work at a computer repair shop, and I’ve worked on dozens upon dozens of phones. I have different advice based on if it’s the screen, digitizer, or whatever that’s not working
Don’t touch it! I’ve been working at a repair shop for a while, leave it unplugged and write down the pin.
If you want more specific advice, let me know the model of the phone. Most phones should power on if the battery is removed and it’s plugged in. I can talk you through data recovery if you want
You definitely can. Podcast Addict has per podcast override settings
I’m a reddit refugee who always lurked. Hah I’m trying to be more active on Lemmy so imma take that as a compliment
Not too weird, but I found this accidentally: a subwoofer under my bed (the speakers that came with it broke)
I found a ten hour long brown noise mp3 that is set to loop indefinitely on an old burner phone. Through the subwoofer it sounds exactly like the warp engines from Star Trek TNG. Incredibly comforting, and hard to sleep without
My computer wasn’t booting properly for a month or two, I think it was saying boot drive not found or something. It would work if I went into boot options and picked my main drive.
The cause? I used the Blu Ray drive for the first time in years, and for some dumb reason, that was listed higher in the boot options. My computer was trying to boot into a Blu Ray of Blade Runner
Ugh. Yeah I’ve heard that "it isn’t the best. It was the easiest to sign up for when the reddit exodus happened. I’m anti Israel and pro Ukraine and I’m always busy with real life/my own hobbies. I just don’t have the bandwidth for finding the best instance. C
