  • My laptop doesn't have dust filters, but the fan almost never runs anyway. Like the heatsink is way overbuilt for the CPU it's attached to. It's actually quite nice. I've never seen it hit 70 degrees. I've cleaned it maybe three times since 2016. It really only spins the fan up when I'm watching 60 fps YouTube videos or playing games. And even then, it kicks hard for a very short time and shuts off again.

    And again, I bought this thing nine years ago. It's just a little Acer. And it's not even a nice one. I paid like 500 bucks for this thing.

    Now, my wife's MacBook that she games on....yeah, I need to figure out how to get the back off so it can get a proper dusting. Fuck you, Apple. Let me work on my stuff, dammit.

  • I looked on their front page and EVERY pet subreddit I saw was someone waving a dead pet around for attention. A ton of them. These people are insane, a disgusting shame.

  • There is r/petloss for that. I lost my dog Nike (image link) in 2019, and it devastated me. About a week later, I posted her with this image (ext link: imgur) to petloss.

    I don't think these folks are disgusting for venting about their lost loved ones. It is hard losing a pet. I guess at that time, I wanted someone else in the world to know about her, the life she lived with us, how dearly we loved her, and how much she's missed. It was a pretty long-winded eulogy. Conciseness was never my strong suit. Different people grieve differently.

    But I do believe that you should look for the relevant subs/communities to post about losing a pet and refrain from making that kind of post on those for more general pet posting. At the same time, I think awareness is key. I'd reckon if you're posting to r/cats or r/dogs instead of r/petloss, you're probably not aware of it. I tend to assume grieving pet parents aren't trying to karma farm.

    The world is already shitty enough, and I don't need to bring myself down with that kind of thinking anyway.

    1. Install Debian
    2. Experience stability.
    3. No, really. It's very stable.
    4. Spend years growing old with the same packages.
    5. Accept your fate.

  • Nope. I was at the drive thru in the front of the line waiting on my food with the engine switched off. I never touch my phone in the car unless I'm off the road and stationary.

    I'm not gonna make a post saying this guy's a moron for driving with an icy windshield while I'm taking a picture of it doing 40 miles an hour and uploading it. That'd make me kind of a major hypocrite, wouldn't it?

    But they got to the drive thru with their windshield like this. Which is kinda terrifying.

  • It's funny. I used gnome for a long time, and after I fully switched to Debian, I didn't have any problems with my nvidia card with gnome + wayland. But I switched to plasma recently, and it's janky. I figured out my vsync issues, but it still runs a post when I wake it from sleep, which just defeats the purpose of sleep mode. I might as well shut it down every time I'm done using it like it's 1997.

    But I started using X + KDE, and most of my problems went away. Still takes forever to wake from sleep. But that's it, really.

  • True story - I keep blank audio CDs around because my cars have CD players. The fact that I still burn CDs is another story, but Debian is still small enough to fit on a CD-ROM. So I keep a backup of Debian 12 on a CD-ROM so I don't have to lose a flash drive to that task. Very convenient. And I've broken my system a few times tinkering. I'm not even sure how. But hey, I love to go fast and break things. I probably made an edit to a file long ago and forgot about it and now it borked stuff. It happens.

    At this stage, I've got it down pretty good. If I break my OS, I can plop in my boot CD, use rescue mode to back my home folder up to a flash drive and wipe the system. I keep lots of other things on extra HDDs so all I ever wipe is my boot SSD. I have an Nvidia GPU so before I log in for the first time, I just get back into rescue mode and set up my root password, user account and password, reclaim my home folder, change ownership to the new account, set up fstab, and install drivers and programs before ever logging in as my user for the first time - all from the console.

    As for data loss, I haven't lost any. I have never needed to wipe my hard drives so as long as my home folder is intact, retrieving that is easy enough. I don't keep just one copy of irreplaceable files, either. While my phone does back up my stuff to Google Drive, I keep additional copies of my favorite pictures and videos on DVDs. Three copies, on at least two different media, one of them off-site.

    Breaking your OS is really not that big of a deal once you know how to retrieve stuff without it. You don't even need CDs lol The boot CD is just for convenience. You can bork the system on a computer with just one storage device and as long as you have two flash drives, you can get it all back pretty easy.

    But I'm only here after years of experience in bash. If I went back ten years with a busted laptop and told my 22 year old self to use lsblk, mount, and cp to copy the home directory to a removable device all in command line, younger me would probably cry lol

  • Everything I know about bash I learned by spending a decade copy-pasting random commands I found online into my terminal.

    It's really that easy. You'll be sudo apt update-ing with the best of them in no time when you spend a decade copy pasting commands you found on the web to your terminal.

  • My guy, it's a rule in this community to keep it clean. I sat on it for a while because I wasn't sure if it violated that rule. So I spoilered the punchline and justified it for the mods to decide whether this flies, not to protect the average Lemmy user. Check my comment history, and you'll see that I'm completely unafraid to swear on the internet.

  • I didn't realize winget was exclusive to Pro. I ran Windows 8, 8.1, and 10 Pro from launch day until I stopped using Windows altogether last year. A Windows 7 Home Premium license was significantly more expensive after Windows 8 launched at 40 bucks, and I needed an OS for my new gaming rig.
