I used to have a bottle of water but I drank it, so... bed?

Maybe not related but I had an issie with wireplumber where it would suddenly take up any free CPU resources and use them up, jacking up my cpu usage up to crazy high numbers, often to 100% at times where the expected cpu usage would be at 20% at most.

I haven't experienced this in the last week or so, so maybe it was fixed in an update? I'm on Fedora, btw. I just wanted to share, so I can find out if anyone else had the same issue.

Aren't System76 essentially rebranded Clevo laptops? Where do you find Clevo machines at an actually good price?

Okay, I've wanted to do the same thing for ages. Time to follow up my words with action!

You can Install more fonts, but not all of them are any good.

Same. But I still miss the XP-rience, from the booting logo (the equivalent of Plymouth) to the Chess Icon for the accounts, to the iconic wallpaper, bar, popup menu and window decorations.

If only. I'm a student living in student accommodation. I can't set up a NAS because hosting things on the network is against their policy, and I also wouldn't feel comfortable having that type of hardware in my room. And if electricity bills skyrocket because of me, I'll be forced to pay them.

What's a safe place to buy storage online? I've seen horror stories of an sd card in a drive enclosure, and modifying the storage to make it appear larger than it is.

Are cheap

Yeah, right. I know they're cheaper than they were but they can't be that cheap.

finds a high-speed 2tb m.2 from Kingston (a brand I trust) for £120

I stand corrected.

Polarize the people, controversy is the king! It doesn't matter if they hate you, if they all say your name!

At 1:38 is the beginning of the infamous "she sells sea shells" part that was spread on social media. To understand the quote, at the very least, start watching here, but I'd still vastly recommend the entire thing.

The quote itself is at the sentence starting at 2:37 -2:48

I've just realized there's an animated series on Youtube, that I've had a really hard time (read: impossible) finding anywhere else, and if LEGO (yes, I'm talking about Ninjago) decides to delete these videos from their channels, the OG seasons are nowhere to ve found as far as I can tell. Yes, there are some cartoon streaming services but those are few in number and getting fewer, so I wouldn't bet on them or any new ones that spring up having that content available in 5-10 years. And that's worrying. Time to download all 15 seasons and store them somewhere! (oh shit, I don't have enough space, do I)

Edit: found them on a downloads site from the piracy megathread, but only Seasons 1-11. I'll get them all soon enough.

Edit 2: The first 11 seasons from that website come up to just over 105GB and I don't have the space. Do I buy a 256GB USB/ Drive to store this at? I'm scared that I'm getting to the point of becoming a data hoarder. Not too long ago, I didn't know what I'd do with my single 32GB USB, now I have added a 128GB one, and a 64GB Ventoy usb to the mix, and I still don't have enough. Wtf?
