well, they are putting more water in mass market cold cuts these days…

about the third loop around, when science had evolved to the point males of a species were no longer needed to procreate–the women left and settled somewhere amongst the stars, far far away.

canonical is barely in the black–and only recently so. there isn’t anything there, except for the ‘free publicity’ that comes from doing the attack.

as long as you’re still a mac user the icloud space and sub isn’t really going to waste. can you do what you want to do on your android phone by just using a browser? i know you can’t do ‘everything’ that way, but basic file and email access should be accessible from pretty much any device’s browser.

don’t be dissin’ what was a good beer, either

we were looking awhile back for one, but none of the tplink models at walmart (the only retailer with routers within 50 miles) supported flashing with a third-party firmware and i didn’t want to shop online for one.

we sorta lucked-out, though… ended up just using the one from our old provider since they never asked for it back or charged us for it. it’s dual band, has wpa3, guest ssid and vlan. enough for us for now. all we had to do is flip a setting from dsl uplink to wan uplink.

not difficult at all, snapraid’s online documentation is very good.

i have three snapraids here. one with (what was at the time) new disks, and two made up of old salvaged disks like you’ve got–pulled from systems and laptops headed for the recycle bin.

the feature is older than firefox itself.

the custom shortcuts are so you can skip the profile manager when launching a browser window.

What were they thinking?

ima gonna go with “why tf didn’t we do this from the start?”

twitter (or rather, a bunch of little mini-twitters that can talk to each other), but without the billionaire poop-stain in charge of it.

same. only because it was the only one i could remember the name of when i was setting up the ‘mini tablet’ (which is just someone’s old phone. has no sim or service). it’s an old and slow phone, so it doesn’t get used often. i’d much rather be on a desktop.

kubuntu 26.04 minimal install: keep the ubuntu and apt you’re familiar with, skip the unnecessary or unwanted junk (including snapd) at install time, and get the option of using btrfs filesystem (which is not possible with the main ubuntu installer).

one note: you won’t even have a web browser out-of-the-box, and snap-powered ‘firefox’ package exists in ubuntu repos. so if adding mozilla’s deb repo, do not forget the step where you adjust your sources priorities so ‘sudo apt install firefox’ pulls from mozilla instead of ubuntu.

note that this isn’t a curated repository like your os repos, but rather a directory of community-provided submissions that pass some basic automated tests.

it’s been over a decade since canonical ended that little ‘experiment’ with azn.

afaik, it’s strictly opt-in. further reading: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-insights-how-telemetry-is-changing-on-ubuntu-desktop/73442

although they’ll still see web traffic from your system if you hit their mirrors for updates and package installs–as would be the case anywhere online.

2 months. lts or not, ubuntu’s freeze date is and has historically been about two months before release.

if the 2 year cycle between lts is too long for someone, they don’t have to stay on that ride.

just a reminder, kubuntu uses a different installer than ubuntu–one that offers btrfs (timeshift compatible configuration) out-of-the-box, as well as a choice of install type.

the ‘minimal’ option is not much more than the base kde environment. no snaps, no snapd installed. hell, it doesn’t even have a web browser (instructions for mozilla’s own repository is here
