I really like the Firefox Multi account containers extension... It keeps my school stuff out of my shopping stuff, and my banking stuff separate. I keep all Google products in their own container.
I had this happen before in two different ways:
- GPU power plug not in all the way, no GPU power, no fans, no display.
- Older motherboard, new CPU, and the motherboard needed a BIOS upgrade before it would work on the newer chip. I had to borrow an older Athlon chip from the store to flash the motherboard. Worked great after that. Two separate incidents. If it can be broken, I've broken it.
I'm old. Mint 15 XFCE, I burnt an installed copy onto a thumb drive, and ran into a weird grub glitch. Asked on a Mint forum, and Clem himself (maker of Mint) wrote me a detailed how-to-fix. Warm fuzzy feelings for Mint.
Loving Lemmy! Never felt like it was worth posting on Reddit, this place feels like some weird, dysfunctional, extended family.
I once tried to install my Steam Library in Linux to an NTFS partition so I wouldn't have to install things twice on a dual boot system. Protip: don't do that.

Back in the day, I worked in the hardware department of a Canadian Tire store, and an old dude is looking at the large tools. He flags me over and goes, "Which one of these things'll get me online? My boy says I need a router!" I sent him to the Future Shop on the other side of the mall.
Possibly dumb question, but... can Windows pipe things? Like, can I pipe a grep to a text file, or send stdout to a text? Or, like, tee a command onto the end of a config? I don't use this a lot in Linux, but I have never done in Windows and literally don't know if it can be.
This made me snort water out of my nose.
If you ever run a "mostly server", where you are mostly in the command line but sometimes want to pop into a GUI for whatever reason, XFCE. I have a computer from 2000 with Ubuntu server plus XFCE after the fact, and it runs great. Still.
And...! You can sync multiple devices across NextCloud! Tablet and phone? Synced!

I ran a mediawiki for almost exactly that for a while on a really old computer that was collecting dust. Eventually I turned it into a VM. I still have it somewhere... You could totally host that on linode or digital ocean.
