there are almost no frontends left working. i had to chase them to see what worked. LibRedirect has no way to flag when some don’t, thus removing those?

me, too, but it only allows 2GB. If you plan to encrypt it for when you aren’t needing it, then you can only use half that as encryption doubles files. I’ve been wondering if Owncloud, NC’s close cousin, has a free account, too. I could use Owncloud for images, I guess.

not all wars are bad. wars meant to defend one’s own people, assets, and territory is noble. But, I am not sure exactly what you are getting at. Hopefully, you weren’t being prejudiced against Germans.

i’m a bit surprised that China hasn’t released one to sell to Americans.

? Even the USA often ignores their Constitution.

they make us fight and fight and fight until we are haggard and have no more fight in us. i hate them. Having others trying to control the group is natural. Accepting it without fighting back seems unnatural. Even wolf packs have been known to eliminate a mean-spirited leader.

One of my old dentists told that that I could not have my own paid-for x-rays and my do’s vet told me the same. So, I had to repay to get new ones and expose the body to my radiation. I avoid “experts” now. The feeling of being ripped off and disrespected makes me feel the need for another expert - A SHRINK!

depends on the context. people telling socially-acceptable lies get treated far better than those telling unpleasant truths.

so you have the ultra-cheap Mullvad service and it is fast enough for you? This is the same one where I can send in cash to Mullvad to pay - umm, the super-anonymous Mullvad VPN?

On a high quality flash drive, it will be decent. or, you can do the cheaper, more convenient way by installing Oracle’s free VirtualBox program and testing a bunch of distros. Be sure to try out as much of the software that a distro comes with as you can even if you dislike the distro itself. And, makes notes of the themes you like. I’d think an external drive might be a convenient option that can be used at work, at home, while visting your family in Kentucky…But, VMs are the cheapest and there is even software to clone a VM into an iso after you’ve customized it how you want it, then load the .iso onto a driveshaft to permanently install on “bare metal”.

Debian with KDE desktop. I prefer lighter DEs or WMs, but Debian is soooo stable and KDE looks so professional and makes it extremely easy to download packages - much easier than, say, Debian with XFCE which is what I use. When I set up linux on 2 old unused PCs for 2 coworkers after their computers died, I installed Debian with KDE and boss and coworkers were happy. Debian is the base of most distros, so sticking with Debian means more packages available usually and better tutorials and more stability. Even some foreign governments now use Debian as a base for their custom distros - China, too. I never had trouble getting Debian installed or running.

new lies are being told about Celts, too - that Celts were not an ethnic group at all, but a group of mixed people sharing a culture - same as is being said about Vikings. Celts lived in quite a few places - if that history is at all true and i think southern Germany was one area.

I keep seeing videos of Youtubers quitting Arch. I love Debian and will probably mostly stay with it, but after using a few distros in a VM or flashdrive without systemd, I wish there was a really stable no-systemd distro.

must be all over the map. Long ago, in Atlanta, I heard the hourly wage in one county was fairly high, so was shocked by how low it was where I am now.

help people install Linux and set it up - show them how to use it. I’ve considered doing the same. I’d do the first ten installs and lessons for free just to get experience and referrals. I suppose you could buy good laptops cheaply online, load them up, make videos on YT, removedute, Odysee, etc. on how the system YOU set up works. Most of that has very little upfront costs. Are you being replaced by overseas tech support and/or cheap local imported labor?

I must wonder if Trump saying that America needs biometrics for illegals is part of this. Using illegals is just an excuse to introduce the Brave New World’s tools.
