me three

I use Arch on my main machine, but I just got a new (old!) laptop that I’m going to set up probably with Debian. Someone mentioned I might try Devuan… and learn about all the init stuff… but I’m thinking I’ll keep it simpler for this one and go straight Debian first.

Ah, dang, I haven’t run into this yet. But I see what you mean. I actually just set this up in Linux, but back in Windows I didn’t run into this problem (maybe I was lucky enough to hit the same port, or maybe I didn’t have it set up entirely correctly, lol).

Yes, this is what I do, with Private Internet Access (VPN). You can bind qbittorrent to PIA’s interface, and also to its forwarding port.

I’m a very recent linux convert, coming from windows where I was using Vivaldi and I quite like it. But… are there reasons to switch to something else?

Yes, exactly. If you live in a solid blue or red state, your vote is a drop in the bucket, so it won’t matter if you vote third party. But in swing states like Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania… in 2016, the number of votes won by Jill Stein was slightly greater than the difference between Trump/Clinton. Ouch! Was it worth it? Did it move the country left?

I’ve just been seeing them around today, for some reason. Glitch in the matrix?

a good dropperful of liquid vitamin D is good for me once a week. make sure it’s enough – the typical recommended daily values (at least in the US) are pretty low.

lol! I jokingly thought of that song when I clicked in here. Definitely the most catchy thing around rn.

“how bout a round of Gwent” answer to everything

For sure! I think I like a heavy dose of escapism, is why.

I really liked Three Body Problem, and I’m happy to see it on the list. The only other one I’ve tried to read was Seveneves, and… I couldn’t finish it! I just couldn’t dig the “realistic” science style (same with The Martian, which I couldn’t stand… and I’m relieved it’s not on this list). Don’t get me wrong–other Stephenson books are in my personal top 10, especially Anathem. Pattern Recognition is on my shelf and I look forward to it.

Anathem is one of my top faves!

I know right! It’s kind of unpalatable.

Just installed it, thanks. Looks good!

Hmm, could it be a weird browser cookies artifact? Maybe try clearing cookies and see if it’s still there.

He gets us.

Heyyy, Lemmy got a mention in the article 👍
