If you’re a SciFi fan, read the expanse series. It’ll reinvigorate your love of reading again. At least, it did for me.

Alpine is an interesting choice for hosting, really curious what situation you’re hosting in that would require that level or lightness for a distro?

“What then?”

“Same as it ever was!”

We all fight over resources that actually matter (like food, water, shelter and security) instead the previous things (money), for the enjoyment of our overlords.

Seriously, the people who have power to change the outcome of the future seem to either straight not be planning for this future scenario, or are planning for a horribly distopian version of this future scenario.

Its even worse, selling your body for someone else’s profit. I was just recently in a weird knickknack store that had taxidermy peacocks, butterflies, gems, minerals, etc… But one of the ‘etc’ was a human skeleton that the person donated their body to science in early 1900’s only to end up being for sale for the low price of $9,000 after the medical organization they donated their body to was either done with it, or the organization dissolved, or who knows what…

Pretty shitty that its legal to sell people’s fucking remains for a profit…

Man, look at those good jeans…

My favorite story about best buy is in the early 2000’s, a family member gifted me a $20 gift card to best buy, which unbeknownst to them, I had stopped shopping at because it got too expensive and I started buying from newegg instead. Anyway, I walk in and am thinking 'well I don’t really need anything big right now, like a full PC, laptop, etc. Maybe I’ll just get a DVD or something."

Even with a $20 gift card, Best buy prices were so marked up, they were either still more expensive, or the same price as other stores. I think other stores were selling DVD’s at like $15 (not new-releases) and best buy was $35. I walked out and never ended up buying anything. I’m shocked they’re still around to be honest.

Edit: my bad. Wrote a whole reply which was wrong because i misread your comment.

I’m not sure I would agree for arch if the OP wants low maintenance. I’ve never run it myself, but the way I’ve heard arch described is the further you go without regular updates the more likely you are to have a problem when you do update.

Aren’t most app configurations and settings saved in the user’s .config folder? Again you have to know to look for this, but that should be most of your settings right?

/home/[username]/.config/

I mean, i feel obvious for saying this, but maybe others dont know: If we’re just talking about apps, this is also a 1-liner in most package managers that you can even automate in a shell script

sudo apt-get install firefox vlc thunderbird etc…

if we’re talking more complex environments like a dev environment, mix of python packages, libraries, docker containers, etc obviously thats a lot of attention to manually save all of those details for later and something else should probably be used

I can confirm the xdrip app works on grapheneOS, currently use it on a pixel 8a

Yo, from one type 1 to another, get yourself some xdrip to replace the dexcom app, its miles ahead and more configurable.

And depending on which omnipod you got, and how technical you are, check out AndroidAPS if you want an open source closed-loop solution.

If you got the omnipod dash you can use it directly with AndroidAPS via Bluetooth.

I use both of these with dexcom G6 and an accu-chek Bluetooth insulin pump, and its amazing vs the commercial solutions.

wicked sense of humor

“my cock is stuck in the door!”

Uh-huh…

God damn it, there’s so much on there I had no idea, and I’ve been hating nestle since the early 2000’s…

Just a few I was buying, unaware:

Carnation

Cheerios

Coffeemate

DiGiorno pizza

Well now I’m really curious what you were originally replying to, that could be affecting prices, haha

I’m really confused how these things are related?

I mean, I vaguely heard about that decades later, so doesn’t that mean they got away with it?
