Picard can help you sort through most of it. It can identify most things even without tags. Just be careful and check everything it wants to do before letting it do its thing.
The way Trump is going we’re not going to be a world power let alone a superpower much longer. I can’t t see Canadian businesses moving to the US as being to their advantage. Plenty of disadvantages, but not many advantages.
Streaming is awesome, but I’ve stopped paying for streaming in most cases. Everything has gotten too expensive. When I run out of storage, I’ll start culling.
I haven’t backed up or collected movies or tv shows in a long while. Not much they’ve put out in the last ten years has been interesting to me. Music on the other hand… Lot good music has been put out recently and I’ll either buy the CD or if I have to, purchase a download. Either way, it’s going to be streaming from my server.
I’ve been running KDE now, almost exclusively, for almost 15 years. KDE works (by default) in a way similar to the way Windows XP worked in the late 90’s - late 2000’s. It felt familiar enough that I didn’t have to try and figure out most things that I wanted to do. The few things that didn’t work the way I wanted ( or felt they should) were easy enough to change. XFCE was similar (had a Windows 95-98 feel) but was not as configurable.
Gnome 2, I rather liked as it had a feel similar to Mac OS 8 from way back when I was in school, however I just never got along with Gnome 3. Everything felt… off. I can use it, Just don’t care for it. Same for most other DEs.
The only formal training I had was 20 years ago in high school when I took a pair of A+ and Networking certification electives. At the time I wanted to get into Systems Administration as a career, but no one was hiring when I graduated. Went into trucking instead.
20 years on though, I don’t really consider selfhosting a hobby, but rather the most cost effective way to achieve whatever I’m trying to accomplish for my family or myself. SAAS and subscriptions have kinda gotten out of hand, so I’ve “voted with my wallet” and just done them myself.
Mostly. I pay for email. That was a pain in the ass.
Do I still enjoy it, sure. But that’s has become secondary as my objectives have shifted over the years.
That website is painful.
Tldr is that two Bangladesh soldiers died while test firing a Chinese Type 57 tank when it exploded.
