My favourite use is to suggest a near miss: the other car missed the cyclist by a bees dick.

Huh, not heard that one

Same thought different reasoning: the expression "a bees dick" exists. There's no equivalent for birds.

In the update settings she can reset her apt sources back to "default". It's not too hard and there's a gui throughout the process (from memory).

The package conflicts is an interesting one, if you have the time to post one of these on lemmy I'm sure someone will suggest a fix. It's probably a apt install --fix-broken or something simple (hopefully) but I'm sure we could work it out.

Totally agree that these are annoying issues though. See if you can use Nala, it's a TUI front end for Apt and it's got some nice user changes like if you run upgrade it updates and upgrades. It also has a fetch feature which finds nearby sources, so you're always downloading from the closest/fastest source.

I recommend this to everyone I meet in tech, it's really good to learn linux and file system skills

Cyber security guy here: we care about 22 for SSH, 443 and 80 for Web traffic, 3389 for RDP and 21 for FTP. Everything else we google and we all have to google 21 and 3389 because we all forget them half the time anyway.

I suppose I was lucky in some ways. I stopped using Reddit a few months ago, after 5 years of addiction, but I was on the way out anyway. I had some bad experiences asking for help, never really posted otherwise and just generally the community made me feel like being inexperienced with anything was the same as being an asshole. I moved to lemmy and I instantly started posting more, answering questions and basically just enjoy talking to people on here. I haven't been back and deleted my account months ago.

I sent a tarball of ~~downloaded movies~~ linux iso's around once and my family thought I'd been hacked.

X11 doesn't limit it, but you will want to enable "Force composition pipeline" to prevent screen tearing. nvidia and Wayland work together btw. It's not a match made in heaven but they do work.

Best advice I ever got regarding Windows: delay updates for a few days. Sometimes Windows updates break the device, but if you're part of the crowd that delays for a day or two, they might have fixed the issue by then.

The R in recursion stands for Recursion

Idk if we use capitalism so much as we get used...
