Truly the horseshoe crab of websites. Why change when you’re already perfect?

Metal Arms: A Glitch in the System

Yeah this is the answer. I was about to list off some movies but realized I actually watched and finished those. I couldn’t even bring myself to finish anything after Endgame besides the last Guardians of the Galaxy movie.

Just use Debian. Why use the inferior downstream distros when you can go right to the OG? You are already halfway there.

Debian doesn’t have a corporate sponsor so there is no risk of getting spammed or giving someone your personal information.

My recommendation for that price range is to buy a used business-class laptop. Emphasis on the business-class. These are the Dell Latitudes and the HP ProBooks. Try to find something less-than five years old (businesses tend to phase out older laptops in the three or four year mark). Buy from a reputable re-seller that offers support in case you get a lemon.

It won’t be the fastest or sexiest laptop out there. But it will be long lasting and reliable.

Maybe something I should look into again.

Yes! I’ve used that before.

I spun up a trial version of Windows Server and tried to get it working. It seemed to want a Domain environment and I didn’t want to go down that road. There probably is a way to do it without setting up a Domain but I didn’t feel like messing with it at the time.

I have a Windows VM on my server. If I need MS Office or any Windows-only program I just use Remmina to RDP in and get stuff done.

Windows has pretty good touch support over RDP so I can even do this from my phone or tablet if I need a full desktop on the go (using a VPN).

Yeah, I always remember the first game the best. It was an RPG first and a shooter second. The vehicle sections, while terrible did provide a sense of scale that the other games lacked.

Yeah I think the distro is less important. Really it’s choosing a lightweight DE + web browser will determine if a machine that old will work.

Why not just run TrueNAS Scale? It’s a NAS built on top of Debian?

His example doesn’t seem to perform any comparisons to determine what to name the file. If the text file is just a list then something like this could work:

$file = Get-Content -Path .\individuals2.txt

foreach ($line in $file) { Copy-Item -Path .\template.docx -Destination “.$(2 + $line + ‘.docs’)” }

Edit: Wow, Lemmy destroys formatting.

I waited for the speaker support. Seems pretty stable in my sample size of one.

I like Apple’s hardware but their software is not ideal.

I have an M1 Macbook Air that is honestly the best laptop I’ve ever used. I will run this thing until it dies. I’m running Asahi Linux so I don’t even have to deal with MacOS anymore.

As for my smartphone, while I am concerned with privacy and control over my devices… I think privacy is more important. While I do not trust Apple with my privacy, I trust them over a literal advertising company.

I took the code you posted and then asked the free version of ChatGPT to do what you asked and got working code immediately. I would go that route.

Do you have any code written? Generally speaking people are willing to help but won’t write your project for you.

May his spirit make it all the way through Snake Way to King Kai’s planet 🙏

Probably one of the more annoying things to come out of COVID is that all of a sudden every governor in the country realized they have this big red button called the “National Guard” that when pressed gives you cheap labor. Most Guardsmen aren’t military police and aren’t trained to fight crime. Those that are MPs are probably civilian police already and just change uniforms. State Active Duty orders don’t pay as much as Federal Active Duty orders so you sometimes are forcing people to leave their high paying jobs to go do something they don’t want to do while getting shafted in the bank account.

That’s a good idea too. I’ll have to look into that.
