I've been daily driving fedora for a few years now, but I never really get deeper into anything than opening Firefox, and a few Gnome extensions. Haha

That makes a lot of sense. I think I'd like to do it, eventually, if for no other reason than I am 33, and I feel like my time to learn this shit is slipping away pretty quickly sometimes, but maybe not for all my important stuff like family pictures. Start small and just make sure i can do it first, once I understand a little more

I understood some of that! Mostly the things like "a," "the," "and," and other such technical terms. Lol

Is my data more secure on hertzner? I thought self hosting was supposed to be better for that?

Any advice for a near (tech) illiterate newb on what to get? I only recently switched from using a patchwork of like 2 dozen different google drives to store all my stuff to a single nextcloud account through hertzner. But it costs per month, and that's always risky with my finances. Would love to learn how to do it myself, but don't know where to start. If it matters, I got the 5tb plan, and have 5 people on it (self included).

Depends on what you're wanting to learn. I'm a fellow tech illiterate noob, but I've been off and on with Linux since like 2006. Finally switched full time a few years ago. Honestly, with Mint, Ubuntu, Fedora I've found you basically can just set it and forget it, depending on your use case. YouTube has been my best friend whenever I have a problem, normally I type my issue into that before even google. How long have you been using Linux? If you're still in the distro hopping phase,I suggest trying to swap Desktop environments instead of distros, as it gives you a little experience with the terminal, is well documented on how to do it, and gives you a good idea of what kind of UI you want

That's all I got, though. I really am pretty illiterate at tech stuff haha

I will do that. Thank you very much

Can you recommend anything for learning more about this? We've been trying to go through the USDA because we cannot afford a down payment, but they require the house to be in basically perfect condition, meaning there's nothing we can afford.

[–] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 months ago

Somehow I don't think so... Lol

[–] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 months ago

Yeah, I started with 32, upgraded to 40, and then decided screw it and jumped to a half gallon. I keep the 40 around for when I make smoothies or something. It's oversized, but it has a straw and keeps everything nice and cold

[–] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I'm... Gonna need further elaboration

[–] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I know this one!

So, Muslims on the ISS need to face earth when not possible to determine the location of, or if moving too quickly to reasonably face, mecca. On the moon or another planet, it would presumably be the same. They face earth

I've been working on a scifi fantasy story idea about pagans on Mars for years. I love the idea of a colonized mars, and pagans with a mars centric religion
