Ubuntu used to send you a CD-ROM ready to use free of charge back in the day.

I've done this whole process hundreds of times and it's straightforward now, but the first times where really confusing, I totally understand you.

you basically want to put the installer file in a USB, but you can't simply copy and paste it because it needs to be "bootable", that's why you use a tool like Etcher or similar.

any link in the official Linux Mint page will point you to reputable sources so just pick the first one. the beauty of open source is that it's not as centralized as a big corporation's software, you have choices, confusing at first, I know, but it's worth it once you get past the learning stage

thank you so much!

anyone knows what the sleeping cat in the thumbnail is?

I've never seen this widget before

Thanks for doing this, you rock!

I don't need any games but want to wish everyone of you a happy new year and hope you accomplish whatever you look for in 2024!

Release date: Q1 2024

It's coming!!

For anyone using Figma, there's a free open source alternative called PenPot that's quite decent.

I read quite a few articles around the web and all had one issue or another. Your guide is straight and to the point while also giving the tools to debug further with the winetricks (haven't got into it since the game already worked). Thank you so much!

In terms of keeping him safe online look into some content filtering for the whole home network, either paid or self-hosted.

Projects that act upon physical stuff are the most rewarding. Something simple such as building a simple Python script that interacts with a smart home API and turns switches on/off or changes light colors around the house are relatively simple and require no hardware/mechanics if you're not into robotics, soldering or circuit boards.

You've got a great kid :)

Sorry, I laughed harder than I should have just imagining the whole thing.

Thank you for telling your story, I'll think about your rachet strap whenever I remember about my Coke can and that will definitely provide some comfort knowing there's just some crazy nonsensical people out there.

I once got my window crashed to steal my radio plus a warm can of Coke I had in case of a long drive sleepiness emergency. The radio I get it, but the warm Coke... dunno why but I still think about it decades later.

Where and how has this poll been shared?

Right now Sync is at 29% which makes me think the results are skewed if the poll has been predominantly shared in the sync community.

Same here!

I've been wondering if it could be accomplished using ignore patterns in Syncthing to only share a specific Obsidian folder/directory and put everything shared in there. Yet, this may probably be too much friction for a grocery list and Keep will work fine while it lasts.
