  • Two mysteries solved

    Jump

  • ...are you me? Literally today I learned that the little elusive fellow at my patio was a Ruby crowned Kinglit!! For awhile I thought it was a small warbler with out-of-season colors. Hope for both of us they stick around so we can see their crowns.

  • THE SUPER MARIO GALAXY MOVIE - The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Direct – 25/01/2026

    Jump

  • I think it's absurd that they need a whole Direct for what will be a minute and a half trailer for a movie we already know exists (and have seen footage of). I get Directs are their thing or whatever but it just feels like Nintendo smoking their own supply. Just drop a trailer, guys.

  • Look, I really only like Pacman because they make the little yellow guy go across the terminal as the download bar. It's just 😘🤌

  • Not sure about Ubuntu, but for your CachyOS attempts, I probably would have avoided the DEs you tried. COSMIC is still under heavy development, and might work better on its "home OS" (being Pop!_OS, but this is complete speculation on my part). Hyprland and Niri seem like advanced DEs to me every time I see them mentioned, so I would have avoided them for a new user.

    I've been using Cachy for the better part of a year now with KDE Plasma and it's barely given me any problems. I'd suggest something with KDE, or maybe even GNOME. If you like the Ubuntu environment (apt, flatpaks, etc) you might try Linux Mint. From my experience it's a very easy and hands-off setup. I did not need to use the terminal at all when I set it up on my wife's laptop and MIL's laptop.

    ETA: Just read your final paragraph and wanted to add about KDE:

    Easy access to the launcher

    KDE is reminiscent of Windows. The Launcher is always visible (unless you tell it not to be).

    See all background apps at once (next to the network and audio icon)(important for VPN, steam, discord)

    Yup.

    see date and time in a convenient place (top of the screen)

    Yup. Can be placed wherever you want.

    working file manager

    Dolphin.

    good package manager

    CachyOS is based on Arch, so it used Pacman and ships with the Arch User Repo helper Paru (and a graphical installer, Octopi). You can easily install Flatpak if that's your thing too. I don't know a lot about package managers but Pacman has been good to me.

  • Do you play an instrument? If so, which one(s) and how proficently?

    Jump

  • I play drums mostly as a way to exercise. I like to think I'm decent, but nowhere near good enough to play for people.

  • Why do people always talk about Ubuntu here instead of Kubuntu?

    Jump

  • I think Ubuntu (and consequently some of its derivatives) gets a bad rep for some of their proprietary stuff like Snap packages. I have no clue about Kubuntu though, other than that it's flavored Ubuntu.

    I'd wager many users here prefer other distros, and because there are so many to choose from, Kubuntu doesn't get mentioned.

  • Freezing soup in glass mason jars?

    Jump

  • Ah yeah the bags could be a little awkward in a lunch box or bag. I'd be worried about something poking a soup bag after it thaws, hemorrhaging soup into my lunch box 😅

    I'd suspect the jars should do you just fine, especially if you're looking for single servings.

  • Freezing soup in glass mason jars?

    Jump

  • We use freezer zip-lock bags for stuff like soup. Allows us to pack the bags flat in our big standing freezer to take up way less room. As for the jars, we have kept jams and jellies in jars in the freezer for years without issue.

  • Drag and Drop is an absolute mess

    Jump

  • Based on not knowing what your system looks like (OS, DE, how you're moving files, where you're moving them, etc), the first place I'd try is getting Flat Seal from the flatpak app store. It's a permissions manager for flatpaks that might help you out. If you're trying to move files into a folder that has escalated permissions, it may give you some problems. Try fiddling with the settings in Flat Seal.

    I don't really use flatpaks, so I couldn't tell you exactly the setting to look at, sorry. Never had an issue with drag/drop myself.

  • Bungie shows off Marathon's reworked "Runner Shell" classes, and I'm still worried about invisibility and wall hacks in a PvP-heavy extraction shooter

    Jump

  • Just what the industry needed. Another big studio making another pvp extraction shooter! I'll throw it on the pile.

  • Anyone else about ready to give up on tech?

    Jump

  • I look at it this way: me setting up little services for myself and my friends and family, tinkering with Linux and FOSS software, giving money to devs for software I host or use frequently and not corporations, are all ways I stand my digital ground against this "technoligarchy" we've found ourselves in.

    Sure, one day they might come for my stuff. But that just means I've won.

  • put aside the idea that a beginner is dicking around with proxmox (why!?)

    Fun :)

    But seriously, I wanted to throw myself into it to see if I could learn it. I totally get the impulse to question a beginner's choice for promox; I am questioning it too, frankly. I may follow your advice of restarting that server, but the thought of setting everything up again hurts my soul... At least I know how, though!

    Thanks for the kind response.

  • So what's up with Syncthing right now?

    Jump

  • I use it between PCs (binary, flatpak) and NAS (Docker), but i believe the android fork is still potentially compromised. Haven't updated the android version since the repo was taken over.

  • What's the dumbest/silliest reason you got in trouble for in school?

    Jump

  • I can think of two stupid ones right off the top.

    In my highschool freshman year, in our multimedia & webpage design (a very barebones graphic design/learn how to use Microsoft Office class), I got in sent out of class for doing all of my work at home (I used GIMP and a pirated copy of Sony Vegas at home). That same teacher also gave me a long lecture about viruses for visiting downloadmoreram.com.

    In middle school, maybe 6th grade, we were split into groups to do some group project. Everyone was talking, working on their posters, chitchatting, normal kid stuff. For reasons I do not know, I had like sat down and shifted weird, and my throat made a strange, quite loud, involuntary noise. Kind of like a weird yelp? I did not mean to make this noise, but regardless, everything got super quiet, and the teacher asked "who yelled?" I stood up, explained that I did not yell, and accidentally made that noise. Teacher didn't believe me and sent me to the office. I'm still confused about that one.
