  • Did you have a tutorial or something you followed?

    The last time I installed Linux was over 20 years ago when I repurposed an old Gateway PC to be a switch/VPN. I’m sure it’s not outside of my ability but wouldn’t know where to start.

    Working on remodeling a motorhome and I want to build a few Home Assistant interfaces. If I could use my old M8 that is still in perfect condition that would be amazing.


  • I have an M8 in perfect condition. I stopped using it when the HTC gallery bug corrupted a bunch of my photos.

    What is this about unlock codes? How do I get them? Do I need to use them ASAP?

    I don’t have the time to research and go through the steps to do this right now but I would like to use it in the near future.





  • At one point the VA assured me that a veteran’s medical debt is to the government and is not released simply because the veteran passed away.

    Even things like the cable bill took months to resolve because we didn’t want to pay for services that weren’t needed after death. (It’s hard to find and cancel every account for someone who died and didn’t keep track of things.)






  • Had a good doctor who told me you can’t “try to quit”. You can’t “cut back”. You can’t quit for other people or before you are ready. But once you are… he said every successful quitter he helped, quit cold turkey. You have to stop 100% or you won’t stop. He offered meds to help with the emotional and physical side effects. I declined.

    I was a smoker for 20+ years, many of those I was well over a pack a day and I worked in a smoking bar for over a decade. It’s probably too late for me is what I thought, BUT I DID IT.

    Quit 2 and a half years ago. It hasn’t gotten any easier yet. I still want to smoke daily. But I haven’t had a single puff. I still hang out with friends that smoke but I did change my normal environment. (Quit while I was moving to make breaking associated habits easier.)

    The things I found most helpful when the craving kicks in… Exercise was the best. HARD physical labor. Also sleeping and eating. Luckily I was in decent shape already so eating a bit more often wasn’t a huge deal. The tons of extra exercise just burned it off or helped build up some muscle mass I didn’t know was possible.
