i almost went with aurora here. in fact it’s still on the other pc i was also testing on, sitting on a shelf unused the last several months. but after trying out pretty much everything i could get my hands on… i ended up back ‘home’, on debian. where i started ~ 30 years ago.

solus os (independent ‘semi rolling’) and ultramarine (fedora based) were two other non-debian based ones on my short list. i already have a manjaro desktop so it wasn’t on my list at all… i already knew i didn’t want it on this box.

alma and rocky are the new ‘clones’ of rhel that were spawned from the death of centos when redhat radically changed its mission in ~ 2020-21. they have most the pros and cons of running rhel itself.

it used to be that… the ‘new’ one is debian trixie-based. runs plasma but there’s also a ‘lite’ spin that uses lxqt

which one?

so that’s what’s underneath those…

and that’s where my 1000s of bookmarks came from.

random junk goes in private windows. but stuff i might want a history of (research or work related, for instance) to go back later for, stays on the normal window and history.

the company exists just as a frozen foods company, but is now owned by a south korean conglomerate. when schwans was sold to cj in 2019, the home delivery business was spun-off and still owned by the family. it later went out of business, not long after an absolutely horrible rebrand.

one big cube won’t melt nearly as fast as several smaller ones, so your ‘beverage’ won’t get watered-down as much.

and yea. it is a silly item for aldi. might just be one of those “we’ll see if it sells or not” things. they often have odd things there that never come back.

it would compress well for an archival backup, so that’s what i’d do for the ‘originals’.

if your long message chains look anything like mine, there’s far more quoted material overall than new text in most mails; and not all new text would be relevant to whatever is being saved… so it’d be quicker to do it the other way–copy and paste what you did want to new documents instead of trying to clean up these long compilations by deleting what you don’t.

or skip the cup and chug the bottle instead.

that’s how it works here, based on your metered water usage (and you can’t have your own well for water)

kiss one of the frogs, and you’ll have yourself a gay prince!

the keycode is laser-etched onto one of the nails holding it together.

yup. works very well. been using it whenever an image fails to boot properly on my multiboot usb…

‘sales tax’ is collected and remitted to the state by merchants, but paid by the customer.

he actually fits all four squares here. approach with caution

i pieced together a comparable 2tb on pcpartpicker, using the cheapest reputable choices and vendors. it was about $200-250 less for the pc (without an os) in a standard matx tower form factor.

an image viewer with the feature set and workflow of irfanview on windows.

uh, oh. i bought two extra pair when i found some that actually fit and were ‘affordable’. still wearing the first pair, so these other two have yet to be taken out of the bags they came home from the store in. that was almost two years ago.
