I had a dumb tv that I was using with a Roku streaming box. The TV became no longer supported because of the HDMI version that shipped with the TV. Roku stopped supporting certain versions of hdmi to prevent piracy.

Even if you have a "Dumb" device, newer tech may just say no.

On the days I go into the office:

Tennis shoes, Jeans, Button down short sleeve shirt, or Polo shirt.

Work from home days:

Same thing except I wear a t-shirt.

diff -y -W 200 file1 file2

Shows a side by side diff of 2 files with enough column width to see most of what I need usually.

I have actually aliased this command as diffy

ctrl-r

searching bash history

du -sh * | sort -h

shows size of all files and dirs in the current dir and sorts them in ascending order so you can easily see the largest files or dirt ant the end of the list

ls -ltr

Shows the most recently modified files at the end of the listing.

If you are going to dual boot and your computer has room for 2 drives. The way I would recommend doing it is to add a second drive for Linux, and disconnect to windows drive from the computer. Do a normal linux install. And then add the windows drive back in. Then you can set one of the drives as the default boot device and if you want to boot to the other just open the Boot options on boot.

This keeps things totally separated and you can even remove one of the drives later if you want to single boot.

I lived in Austin, TX and used to know a homeless guy, Walter Dwight Green 1955, back in '98 that spent winters in jail for public intoxication for the same reasons.

Including name, in case anyone else knew him and wants to chat. He was originally from Kentucky.

I was a teenager at the time but I tried to help him as much as I could.

I had to leave town for a year, when I came back, I found out he froze to death in the winter I was gone.

TBF, if a potential partner is super excited about something you never heard of, looking into it is a good thing.

Conservatives, and other assholes, are good about hiding their crazy behind seemingly innocent things, like pepe the frog.

EDIT: And after making the comment below I just noticed the date on the version is 2022? I'm going need to try out the latest version from their Git.

I use droidify because I like the look of it better. It comes with another repo enabled by default called IzzyOnDroid which has the Alpha versions of lawnchair.

I've been using it for years. It's great.

I bought a 21 inch 1080p Viewsonic monitor from a thrift store just the other day for $6. I got it just for this use case.

I had a spare for this purpose up until about a month ago when the backlight went out on one of my daily drivers.

Also, a couple of days ago I got a pretty nice steelcase apex 3 keyboard with RGB lights for $5.

I use Debian everywhere but if I need a Live Linux environment to recover files, clone a drive, wipe a drive, or really anything else I use ventoy and a Linux mint iso.

I'm a cool grandpa with old hardware.

I use the terminal so much that I frequently accidentally use Ctrl-Shift-C and V outside of the terminal.

Ctrl-Shift-V usually works pretty well as it does a paste without formatting in a lot of places.

Accidentally hitting Ctrl-Shift-C though in a MS Team's chat though, starts a voice call with all chat participants. 😑 hate it

Every distro.

Samba file shares should use regular user credentials and not have separate samba usernames and passwords.
