  • This is the substance of my recipe note as it appears on disk:

    prep:
    
    fork ventilation
    oil
    spices
    
    425 degrees
    63 minutes
    

    So, use a fork to stab air vents in russet potatoes. Slather them in cooking oil / vegetable oil. Add spices like ground black pepper, season salt, whatever suits you. Wrap them in foil. Bake on a pan (the oil may leak into the bottom of your stove otherwise). The rest, I’m sure you can figure out.

    Cut them lengthwise and dump in butter and sour cream. Delicious.



  • My tip for anyone struggling with getting started with linux, set up a log function so you can easily log any relevant changes you make, and have it accessible from somewhere else (like a shared partition or external drive for example). This way you know what you have done and can use that to fix whatever you fuck up. Also, make a knowledge base with the sources you find useful. I have a small kb in UpNote now so I can look up how some things were done instead of having to search and find the right guides over and over.

    This is the best advice for anyone who wants to learn how to utilize the command line. I used to write tremendous documentation for myself, as though I was writing a blog post. Now, I just throw a one line description of the change and hope I remember enough about it for it to make sense. But writing the longer info was really important for me internalizing things in the very beginning.

    Glad you’re having fun!

    Edit: Oh, and I suggest you look for guides on setting up rsync to work like Time Machine.


  • Someone linked to a couple other threads, but that instance is taking forever to load (site issues?) so I can’t find out if they are the two to which I recently commented. So, just to be sure, here’s the list I exported from my preferred RSS client (there are some that are inactive, I’ve just never removed them because they don’t interfere with those that are still active). Mostly pro-audio, tech stuff, blogs, some political stuff that I mostly keep hidden from view unless I wanna see it.

  • On March 14, the Senate passed legislation that would permanently ban fentanyl-related substances (FRS) under Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act. S. 331, better known as the Halt All Lethal Trafficking (HALT) of Fentanyl Act, would escalate the mass incarceration crisis by fast-tracking prosecution of cases involving any substance with a chemical structure similar to fentanyl, even if the substance is inert.

    Great. That sounds like a wonderful idea, you clowns. This is the 1990s three-strikes bullshit all over again. But we love locking people up, so…




  • It’s worth emphasizing that keeping it dual boot until you’re comfortable will let you take a break if you get frustrated rather than wiping Linux and going back to Win full time.

    Get a book on Linux, if you’re the type who likes learning from books (I do). There’s so many to choose from. Check reviews before you order or go to a book store and flip through some until you find one you like.
