My kids only knew Linux from the first day they used a computer.

They didn’t have any difficulty transitioning between that at home and the chromebooks or windows desktops the school had.

I started out with a Knoppix live-CD back in 2002. Remember that distro?

Thats what got me to start dual-booting and eventually nuke my Win XP install entirely.

It’s been all penguins ever since.

Discord works great on Linux nowadays.

And has done so for quite some time.

You don’t have to tell the truth.

Making it exactly like any other dating app.

I’m not sure about the colour yet. Thinking more about some kind of red or turquoise.

I’d go with the reddish-brown of the original leather-ish material.

I’ve used old laptops as battery backed up NAS boxes.

Obviously assumes that you can install a reasonably large drive and that the battery still has some life left in it.

I tried FreeBSD many years ago (back when I was on dialup and bought a book with the FreeBSD install CD included…).

At the time it was interesting to tinker with, and I did use it as a dual-boot on my Win95 computer, but I moved on to Linux when Knoppix came along.

At the time linux seemed more end user friendly.

Maybe I should spin up an install just for nostalgia sake, and to see where it’s at these days.

your local library

That’s where I did my printing for about a year before I bought my own printer.

They only charged for the gram weight of the filament used.

It’s also on the cusp of a major upgrade release, so good documentation of the latest version’s features will be in high demand very soon.

Most that I’ve found have been on the ground near bus stops.

Multiple TB when setting up a new server to mirror an existing one. (Did an initial copy with both together in the same room, before moving the clone to a physically separate location. Doing that initial copy would saturate the network connection for a week or more otherwise)

The only reason I paid for Lightburn in the first place is because it’s the only even slightly mature laser software that supports Linux.

Given this news, what are our options?

LagerGRBL seems to be open source, but nobody packages that for Linux as far as I can tell.

And I wasn’t able to find anything else when I was looking last year.

had to make a custom profile, but it works fine.

Yes, for a person with a bit of experience that is an easy task.

It’s a bit more daunting for a newbie who is asking the sort of basic questions OP is doing

I’ve been a teenage boy before and I did some bone-headed things

Same.

I would be surprised if anyone with the same history didnt do at least a few completely boneheaded things at one point in their youth.

Then once you have crypto in a wallet on peertube, it has to be deposited into the CEX - that is if the CEX has that particular cryptocurrency. Should it not, then a DEX is required, which means more steps.

That’s one of the pain points with Odysee.

The crypto that they pay out with is not directly able to be converted to fiat . You have to go through an intermediary crypto coin first, then convert to something you can buy food with.

What was the last version of Windows you used before hopping on over?

Windows95

I got sick of constantly dealing with the BSOD.

what’s the alternative scenario here?

Parents could not upload pictures of their kids everywhere in a vain attempt to attract attention to themselves?

That would be good.

If they do, that means they don’t take design seriously

The diploma mill MBAs that run the place don’t know (or care) what good design is.

They only know how to look at business costs as “cutting into our profit”.

Though now I realize you actually have to get referred by one of the other members in order to start posting

That is done with the intention of keeping the quality of content high.

I doubt they want to get flooded with low effort “let’s play” gamers or even lower effort AI voiceover stock footage crap.

Lightburn for controlling laser engravers.

It’s pretty much the only choice on Linux (though it is cross platform). Free 30 day trial, then ~$80 lifetime licence.

The other choice is LaserGRBL, which is open source, but doesn’t seem to have a Linux port for some reason. And it has a lot fewer features, with a more complex workflow.
