Yeah I've felt that way for a long time. It's done all that I need and more since about 2003.

Beans is our only adorable dumbo ear of the four boys, but out of the blue he started attacking his brothers, especially his almost twin (sans ears) Frank. When there's blood, we separate of course.

Interestingly, after introducing the new bedding they have calmed down, or maybe it was just a temporary issue. Glad to have our boys all back on one cage!

Yes you'll fuck things up. Don't keep anything remotely important on it and screw around with it. That's how you learn. Blow your install away intentionally, try a different distribution the next time. There's a lot more variability between distros, and more customizability compared to Windows too.

If you want to learn something new and different anyway. It's definitely not like Windows except at the most surface level; you can get by in the GUI for almost everything until something goes wrong, but that's exactly when you want to have been learning cmdline stuff, so you can try to salvage it.

I was looking for a smaller (14" and not bulky) gaming Laptop, and ended up with the Lenovo Slim 7 Pro X. And I'm very happy with it; feels fairly future proof with 32GB of Ram and runs NixOS like a champ.

Only has a GTX 3050 though, so it's not for the highest end gaming, but that's never been my priority anyway, it runs BG3 quite well and that's the beefiest thing I've thrown at it.

As mentioned, Minisforum and Beelink make great APU-based Ryzen systems which are going to give a great bang-for-buck. Get them from Amazon vs their dedicated website as some folks have had shipping delqys with the OEM website. ETA Prime does great reviews on YouTube of these boxes and shows what the FPS is like on some current, a few years old, and retro games for each one.

If you want the smallest possible system, with room for one the smaller form factor discrete graphics cards I'd say the NUC 9 Extreme works very well. I have a GTX 1650 in it and it is perfectly fine.

Steam Deck with a usb c dock is also a great option.

Funny how "muh freedom" means you should be able to not wear a mask, but others should be disallowed from wearing masks, even if they have actual safety or health concerns. Very consistent.

Was hoping for something enlightening here actually related to crypto, and found a very generic analysis of US debt. What actually matters is the deficit, and we will have to see if the US ever gets back to net positive.

When the first article on the site you see is titled "Plot Against Simonyan and Sobchak's Life Confirms 'Terrorist Essence of Zelensky Regime'" and the other sources referenced have sputnik in the title, you really need to consider the biases of the source you're reading. Is it generic Russian disinformation? You decide.

I own more crypto than any other currency, that does not mean we should embrace every article which paints the dollar as facing imminent doom.

I have to say PulseChain. Richard Heart is entertaining AF and has been accused of being every bad thing imaginable, but after some fairly long delays did release his copy of the entire Ethereum blockchain.

People were (and are still) able to bridge out their copied assets if they didn't want to stick around (recently this happened with the PEPE copies and he took a big hit on the pPEPE price, when after the initial pPEPE price spike, the OG holders swapped pPEPE back for ePEPE and bridged out), but it's early enough in its life that some of these coins might eventually become meaningfully more valuable. Already some good farms to be a degen on.

Still love ETH and hold rETH and regular old ETH but PLS is fun and exciting at least for now.

Have to say I don't enjoy the black void; I miss the facade of the VCR repair shop or Plinkett's house. even if they just sit in the set dressed in their Lightning Fast shirts and talk normally. It doesn't have to be any setup, they could literally just talk about the show with all of them sitting in one of the sets but at least we could be reminded of the premise. Love those 'memberberries.

Just sticking a welcome post in since I see a forum for my favorite pet type.

Have owned 6 of these wonderful little critters, currently in discussions with a breeder in Metro West Boston to bring some new boys home soon.

Have a wonderful day!
