  • Windows for a long time before I knew what OSes were. I never liked how locked down MacOS is so I’ve never used that. Then I tried Ubuntu in college, mostly to play with. Then tried Arch, fucked up my system a couple times and reinstalled, then tried Manjaro because I’d heard it was more stable and less fuss. And now I’m back on Arch. I think I’ve finally mostly figured it out over the last decade lol, I haven’t had a problem with my install in years.






  • I’ve got both Samba and NFS set up. I’d say Samba is the most versatile, just because more devices are bound to be compatible with it out of the box. I have an app on my phone I can use to connect to it, for example. And it obviously works with Windows machines. NFS is very simple to set up and nice and speedy. But I only use it for a couple permanent shares for specific things between Linux machines. You could always use a mix. I have a directory that’s shared with both.

    I’ve never configured Kerberos I think, might’ve tried once in the past. From what I understand it’s a pain to set up and really more useful for enterprise environments. But could be fun to configure if you’re into tinkering with that sort of thing.








  • I’d honestly love a glass bottle if it doesn’t break. The only downsides are weight and fragility. To be fair I’ve never tried. But I’ve smacked my water bottles against doorframes while in my backpack, dropped them on rocks while hiking, etc. It’s gonna get knocked around. I’d be concerned about getting soaked with water and shards of glass everywhere.


  • I can’t, I’ve heard it in passing, so very well might’ve just been some doomer bullshit or sensationalizing the facts. It seems that it’d be unnecessary for them to use lead at all in the creation of a drinking implement, but I’m no material scientist. I guess I’ll have to look into it more.


  • It seems to be about the lead welding they use to bind the parts together. So as long as it’s a single piece of metal with no joints, I guess it’d be fine. I just want a water carrier, doesn’t need to keep things hot or cold. I’m becoming jaded with hearing about how all my very basic household items are actually killing me.
