Zeppo

That’s a US-only extension mainly used by Facebook and Twitter members.

Also /lib is where some people keep discarded capitalists

That’s what I thought too. This is directory structure, not file systems.

/home is often on a separate volume. You’d want root to be available in a maintenance situation where /home may not be mounted.

I don’t recall the reasons for the addition but /media is newer than /mnt.

It sounds like everything is working, so… whats the issue?

It’s very simple to have multiple desktop environments installed. You can select which one to use from the login screen, or launch X from a console and then start the DE from the command line.

It would be no problem to remove the office software you’re not using. I doubt that’s connected to any other packages through dependencies.

I assume because it’s more customizable.

Deals on Usenet?

12 years after we learned Flask. 19 years after Django, which also was apparently hot 2 years before it was released.

Huh, okay. I thought it was a quick way to set up a VM - that’s how much I don’t know! I should probably look into it, thanks.

Yeah, that’s really what I haven’t used that seems significant these days - Docker. I used to use VMs a fair bit including the premade ones from MS for IE testing, which I think (?) are the same concept.

Yeah, I’ve never intentionally clicked on a Temu ad. Browsers do provide an additional layer of security as far as access permissions for mobile devices, though they can of course be exploited as well.

I never install an app if I can do something through a website. Twitbook, reddit, Instagram, whatever. If it really requires an app I generally choose to just not do it.

Sigh, I was a sysadmin on my own system from 1999-2008 and on a busy server from 2008-2012… then essentially quit. Now with flatpak and snaps it seems I have no idea what I am doing.

It’s a matter of distro and the installation process. I must note, I installed Linux dozens of times from 1999-2012 and not as much since then. Back then, while of course one set the root password, it didn’t ask about sudo privileges during installation of Debian, Ubuntu or Mandrake. And yes, that’s true, you can always boot from a different installation (such as a Live CD) except it is more complex if it is an encrypted filesystem.

Isn’t 1024 Mbps the same as 1 Gbps?

I’ve had to set it up manually. May depend on the distro, I suppose. su won’t work without the root password.

sudo should only ask for your user password. What do you mean “sudo root”? Do you mean “su”? That would require the root password.

One of my favorites has always been “sudo passwd”, which works for some reason

This is nice because one of the most annoying things has been to randomly watch a video and then they start suggesting all of this content that is not relevant or is bothersome. Like, watch a video on certain topics one time and all of a sudden “check out Ben Shapiro!”

Surely Google is still tracking watch history for analysis for ads and profiling though, right?
