  • We don’t need anything aside from the word, and you are right about the Israelis.

    But you can go fuck yourself for using divisive language like ‘libtard’. One, how are we supposed to work with you or even talk to you when you use such a childish and insulting term? And two, it’s not even accurate. Conservatives consistently prove they’re the idiots.

    Let’s just take one example. The economy. Every Democrat in the last 100 years has improved the economy, and every Republican has harmed it. It’s because Democrats invest in people through empowering unions and raising minimum wages. Trickle down economics has been proven to not work for almost 60 years now and conservatives still push that bullshit.

    It’s like that on every issue. You’re just wrong.









  • You have no idea the temptation I have to do just that. A satellite connection and a remote job for income and I’d be good. A family member is up in Alaska already, he’s got a plot of land with a natural gas deposit that wasn’t large enough or near enough to a populated area for the US gov to care about. So they’ve got it tapped and have a pretty ideal setup. They bought my grandfather’s tractor a while ago an old restored 1912 John Deere.

    I do enjoy the comforts of living near everything. I’m not sure I could give up having 100s of restaurants to choose from and a dozen or more grocery stores in a 10 mile radius. Or the specialty delis, high speed gigabit, and other comforts of civilization.



  • Dude for real. A cheap bidet attachment for your toilet is the way to go.

    First off, a bidet is better than toilet paper. I’ve been using it for years, and it cleans you 100%. I use basically 1 square of TP to dry myself after, and it’s always completely clean. If you had a bird shit on your arm would you just wipe it off with paper and call it a day?

    I laughed at all my friends who made fun of me for getting one on all my toilets after the great TP shortage of 2021, and a few of them ended up switching over.

    For the apocalypse I have a camping toilet with a foot operated bidet. I mean I already use it when car camping, and I have a hand bidet for backpacking.

    Solar panels are also in play. I also bought a freeze dryer and have about 5 deers worth of freeze dried jerky, and buy and freeze dry on sale fruit and veggies pretty regularly. I try to maintain around a 1-2 year supply of on hand food. A few steel plates, ar-15 pistol, and enough ammo to hold off the upper floor for quite a while too, but that’s another conversation. I’m as ready to go as I can though, let’s do this.



  • I’m the same way. I just started using Linux and Landed on Pop!OS. Tumbleweed is high on my short list of things to try, but I finally got everything working, and boy is it working well.

    I think the reason is my hardware profile is extremely similar to Pop!OS products, so I just happened to land on something per-optimized for my system out of dumb luck. I’m frankly shocked at how far linux has come. Lutro is what we’ve been waiting for on game installs for better than 20 years. Steam integration is of course nice, but I hate using game stores and hate being locked into that.

    Anyways, been a cool experience so far.



  • Then feel free to fuck off.

    You came in here and started this saying it’s basically my fault I had a bad time with Fedora. Your condescending and pretentious attitude has been noted, but I’m a new user to Linux my man. None of this is familiar. As my day 2 and 3 posts show I can actually troubleshoot and fix things, if I couldn’t figure it out, I’d say it’s indicative of production and deployment issues on the developers end.

    But please feel free to not respond, you’re exactly the kind of Linux user that gives the community it’s negative stigma.


  • …there’s a faq on the router itself that told me how to do it in windows. That was show I got on the right path for Linux. So yes definitely easier when the manufacturer includes instructions for one but not the other. Granted the windows process is significantly easier to get it enabled.


  • Honestly, I don’t really care what you think.

    Linux users say that this is some kind of easy to use, can replace windows at any point in time, yet one of the most popular distros in existence is definitely not ready for prime time.

    My day 2 and 3 posts have been pretty highly upvoted! Almost like linux users only like hearing the good and not the bad.

    You should check out my submissions. I’m on day 3 of documenting my linux experience.

    It wasn’t a simple fix. The drive was off an ASUS router which uses samba v1 and the fix was reenabling it via editing the text files, then the specific mount command in fstab required a ‘ver=1’ argument to be manually placed in there.

    So no my assessment that this is not an easy process is spot on, and I’ve spent 3 days setting up and configuring linux at this point, all of which I could have done in an hour in Windows.
