DNS is pronounced 'hosts' because it was originally one big text file.

It's these things. Notice how the thread is smaller than the shaft. You always need to drill a pilot hole, otherwise the thread won't bite into the wood. The thread is also pretty tight, so screwing it two-three times in the same hole is enough to strip the wood in the hole, so it can be pulled out with tweezers with almost no resistance. It's also slotted, so if you press too hard your screwdriver will slip out. And if you screw too tightly, the head will rip off, because it's a mild steel.

Or you just hammer it in.

In Soviet Russia, all furniture was assembled by hammering wood screws. Then the assembled furniture was ripened for up to ten years in special humidity-controlled warehouses, allowing screws to expand and lock in place thanks to rusting. This required making screws from special-grade low-quality steel, and use extra-toxic glue for particle board planks so they would not rot. And still, only one in five assembled pieces of furniture did not have any rotten parts or fall into pieces when you attempted to take it home, making it even more luxurious. It is utterly impossible to repeat this level of craftsmanship in modern world.

kill is a command.

love, happiness, and peace are not commands.

You can totally find love using command sudo apt install love. It's a game engine.

happiness is a Perl module inside libdemeter-perl package. Let's not install Perl modules, there lies insanity.

And you can find peace in a whole bunch of packages, it's an icon of the peace symbol.

Gnome is the most stable DE with all features included, it also has minimal amount of system options to still have all features.

XFCE misses a lot of features, such as printers. KDE has all bells and whistles but is less stable.

My answer is killall -9

Dolphin does mount it ...somewhere. Supposedly. I expect only KDE developers know where exactly. You can get the same functionality using Gnome file manager and gio command, and you get your network share properly mounted in a file system, but then you won't be using KDE.

Gnome 3 abruptly removed app icons from the desktop moved taskbar to the top of the screen, and broke Alt-Tab. That’s why prople hate Gnome and love KDE, because KDE did not break these features.

Dolphin shows you places that are not in your file system, such as network shares or your phone‘s media directory. Those are fake files, illusions of Satan, temptations designed to stray you from the path of God. Avoid anything that is not opened with open and not read with read system calls, for doing so is a sin before eyes of God (fopen and fread are permitted). Mount your network shares using sudo mount -t cifs.

That was the whole Redhat business model when they just started.

For those who want to try it at home:

I am sorry, two random Internet users in Korea and Germany, your IP addresses are simply special.

 

The shop also had regular sprink bottles with the same cologne, but this bottle is shaped like a fuel can, so it looked manlier to me. It contains 80% alcohol, so it's also a disinfectant and an after-shave.

 

Also works for searches 'Times new roman' and 'Courier new font', but not for 'Lucida console font' or 'Dejavu sans font'.
