Professional tinkerer 🔧 "Jack of All Trades" in the true meaning; really a master of none. At least it's fun 🫠

Why is everyone trying to make EVERYTHING sound so dire?

When you make a big deal out of everything, the actual big deals don't feel like a big deal anymore....big deal

@Abhinavstwt AWS is so dangerous for newbies and start-ups. If you don't setup things correctly that server bill could bankrupt you. Lightsail is a better choice if you really need an Amazon based cloud server for a small project.

Update on the 2012 Mac Mini help request from yesterday: I went with Linux Mint using the standard Cinnamon DE.

The WiFi didn't work. It was a bit hard to fix. i.e., a quick DuckDuckGo search > top result click > one-line terminal command.

Super smooth experience!

Look what I found while cleaning! No good songs on it though...

I have a 2012 Intel Mac Mini that was running Windows 10 (Now EOL). Any recommendations for Linux distros that play nicely with that model? It has an upgraded SSD.

After years of searching for "Productivity Hacks," I noticed the biggest hack is to just start. Searching for hacks tends to be another form of procrastination for me.

I'm in the process of moving 5 of my business's computers to Linux now that Windows 10 is unsupported: 2 CachyOS, 1 Linux Mint, 1 Debian, and 1 Ubuntu. Sadly, I still need Windows on one computer.

Rust might be a good language for system programming, but rewriting any code tends to go through the same bugs and growing pains as the original write.

@TheRetroRoomRoo The great thing about old tech was that it doubled as a shelf.

The best GUI RSS reader for Linux (IMO) is Newsflash. Vim-like key bindings. Article scraping.

For CLI RSS reader, I recommend Newsboat. Lets you stay focused and avoid distraction by images.

Do you ever wonder how much you're falling into the trap of curated posts? Too much of number go up equals success and not enough authenticity.

@TheGoldenDays The age when everyone wasn't afraid of infecting their computer with one or twenty computer viruses 🦠

I think more games should add a post-match picture mode where you can goof around while waiting, like #PartyAnimals.

When I’m stressed I close my eyes and scribble with a thick black marker. Then, I use a thin white pencil to draw lines and make something from the blobs 💡 Give it a try. It helps you slow down and relax.
