We had an excellent mechanic before he moved cities. He would only charge what he said he would even if it took a bit longer and I heard he had fixed a few old peoples cars for free.

Honda dealers near us are now like $165-180 an hour and parts are ridiculous. I just do the work myself. $25 part online and 5 hours my free labour, instead of the $2000 Honda quoted

Yeah, I find it simple, but I’m used to text edits driving batch files etc. Daily driver I use Tumbleweed, the Yast zypper GUI gives you select and apply for pqckages, no command line needed.

Wasnt my comment, I’m just continuing the out of context chain

Regrets on buying, per the title

1k is excessive for looking over your car.

She doesn’t install apps, Her config is what she needs. But nixOS install is pretty simple if you can copy paste text.

Amazon sells 24 GB ones…

Me neither. We were taught cogs were those janky gears for certain tasks, while a true gear had geometry for smooth engagment

Because many people see themselves as being the most important person, and can’t deal with not existing anymore.

Compared to Proprietary Closed Source that has its own security issues, malicious code, and also leverages Open Source too. Guess which one is better and transparent

There might be a paid way. At work we have our phone numbers tied into zoom which ties into calling other phone numbers. It is used as a backend switchboard. So you could have a zoom number as your signal number which routes to your landline. Maybe.

Area 51

Wayland is now default, you have to add a few x11 packages to have an x11 login now. Also SE Linux Enforcing by default.

Ha. My young coworker said “wow you really know this software in depth, how long have you used it?” me: meh 26 years. He was like “dude that is longer than I have been alive”

Cogs are typically square tooth, gears have involute teeth.

Yes, files, and hamburger menu at top right, new folder
