I know a little linux, but obviously I’m still learning. I’ve picked up everything I know on my own, for the most part - internet guides from the linux community tend to be pretty solid, and I know enough to not totally FUBAR my system.

Is there a listing of standard linux directories and what they’re for? Lite /etc, things like that. Because I seem to find bits of different stuff in a variety of directories.

I’ve recently moved to linux on my gaming rig, which is my daily driver - that being said, it is mainly for gaming. Anything can surf the web or play videos and shit, for the most part.

I guess the Republicans choose to ignore the separation of church and state.

Shame, since they call up the constitution so frequently.

Must be like the bible, they haven’t actually read the thing they espouse to take their guidance from.

The sheer pride in ignorance these days astounds me.

It isn’t bad to be ignorant, we all have things to learn every day. Its bad to be proud of it and to refuse to elevate oneself above their own shortcoming.

If that isn’t the republican party in a nutshell, though.

How about if the government shuts down there is an emergency re-election of all members of whatever segment of government caused it.

All of them, all sides. Not eligible for re-election because they obviously FAILED at their job.

The average working person doesn’t get a chance if they shut down their “company.”

Everquest, the original.

Two guilds come to mind.

I was younger, too young to work, so one summer break I joined up with a European guild to raid with. Lots of fun, learned a but about British (primarily) culture. Lots of fun, even when I joined another guild I raided with them from time to time.

The other was a family guild. It eventually fell apart as the adults got busier with their careers and kids and shit. But the inner circle, so to speak, were invited to a bulletin board and we all talked for years after that. Eventually lost contact with them as I grew up and got busy with life.

Lots of fond memories, and a couple not so fond (RNG hates me, in every way). But they were along when RNG screwed me time and again, and were always willing to try again. Lots of love for those folks.

Performance isn’t key. But I like performance, lol. I also wasn’t aware of their more recent practices. So thank you.

I’ll have to check out the HP mini. As I said, just barely scratched the surface on researching this, and its more of a thought than a project at the moment, lol.

I just can’t afford (and cool) enterprise level stuff at home. It was free (to me) so no big loss other than buying a better CPU used ~50 bucks. I’ve spent more on worse ideas lol.

Cost and a personal bias, also I’ve seen more helpful communities amongst Linux and FOSS advocates than trying to deal with a big brand.

I’ve done a lot of IT stuff in my life, even before working in IT.

I’ve seen too many issues from big brands, and its usually caused by the company.

I have a Pi 2 from way back. I’ve thrown so many distros at that thing over time, and without fail I don’t run into any problems I didn’t personally create while learning or through human error.

I understand all too well that those big brands have support for businesses, warranties, etc. It makes them cost effective long term for business. At a personal level I just don’t see the benefits outweighing the negatives.

Again, personal bias. Same core reason I avoid apple products, bias, though I mainly dislike apples cost combined with their closed off, well, everything.

I’ve got enterprise level hardware, rack moubtable all that jazz.

Between the cost of power, and the heat it generates (which uses more AC and thus power) its not feasible to run it.

I’m looking into clustering some raspberry pis for a more power (and heat) efficient hardware as my next project. Barely scratched the surface of research though.

So hey, if anyone has any tips or links, it would be much appreciated.

Personally I prefer simple connectors, but I’ve been making cables for 20+ years.

I understand OPs frustration though.

Then again, I’m the type to put in my own drops at home, and include a service loop so I can repunch/crimp whatever I need to without yanking the cable from upstairs to down lol.

I’d have to go with the 21 year old scotch I had at my bachelor party.

I’ll never forgive one of my groomsmen for adding sprite to it after taking a sip.

Not just ISPs, it can be blocked at the enterprise level in a few clicks.

I was temping at a place during the pandemic when my hospitality based IT job shuttered. With their set up, I could just block a country in a couple clicks.

I didn’t do the clicking, but we were getting hit with a DDoS from a nation we had no business in, and it was just blocked in a matter of minutes once the meetings and BS were attended to. Those took hours over days.

Treason is debatable with more information than we have available as the public, but he is certainly a traitor to the office, the document, and the people.

Treason has specific definitions he may have met, but we aren’t fully aware of yet.

But if it happened, throw the book at him.

Make the Rosenberg’s deaths look like the happiest ending.

I run everything but work and a gaming rig on some flavor of Linux.

In the past, I ran all Linux except work, so even gaming.

I just missed the ease of use of third party tools, mostly for modding sjbgke player games.

Maybe vortex works and I just don’t understand his to use it on Linux, buy I’ve also run into third party tools for other games (again, single player - not trying to cheat necessarily, though some questionable QoL mods end up creeping in after a few play through) and I’m not sure how to get them to run.

I’ve always had trouble with wine, never set up lutris, but proton was a boon for gamers everywhere, Linux or otherwise.

Anyone have a primer for a power user (sysadmin type duties on my own server, have been using Kali as an educational tool since back track) that’s pegged at gamers making the switch to Linux? I’ve mostly just figured it out looking to random guides and stack overflow, lol.

I was more thinking it’s to test the waters.

A buck is affordable to most everyone who has the means to access Twitter.

Of course next year it’ll be Twitter++ subscriptions for 20 bucks a month, as they phase out the 1 dollar tier.

I never cared for Twitter, and watching Musk’s spin on it has been hilarious as someone with a long history in corporate IT.

Pre-edit: At the moment I’m refusing to refer to it by a tween edgelords name~ Musk’s name for it.

Honestly it seems like a lot of Aronofsky films are deeper than they appear at surface level.

Loved Pi back in the day.

Had a childhood friend visit DC once, he came back and told me he “saw the place Lincoln got JFKed”

Still laugh about that phrase.
