I hear you. It’s a pain even when you have the skills to do it. I am looking for a secondary income stream and want more people using Linux, so maybe I should offer that for people. But ugh, the ways a computer can break can be so stupid.

very slowly

Do you need it to be scalding hot the next day or something? My thermos keeps things insanely hot for like 12 hours. It’s actually pretty ridiculous because sometimes the coffee I made before 8 am is too hot to drink even by lunch.

As someone who does Linux tech support for 2 people as a hobby/because I love them, it would cost you more than $100 for all that.

But $300 for the setup and then $100 per year for support would be reasonable as long as you don’t expect me to drop everything and rush over when something changes/breaks.

My wife is a horticulturist and she has showed me some plants with sun stress that have turned a reddish purple when they’re not supposed to. Eventually, the plant will die if not given a reprieve.

Maybe there is some sort of adaptation happening where the plants have been trying to survive in a low shade environment for a long time, and being purple helps in some way, so it became permanent. But I am just speculating.

It’s about density. Think of a single strand of webbing from a spider versus a thick, established spider web, or a single drop of blue food colouring in a bathtub of water.

Both spellings are correct as far as I’m aware. Like how we call it the metric system and not système international d’unités, you can translate terms into your native language if desired.

If you want to be pedantic, do it elsewhere, because I honestly do not give a single shit.

Metric ton (1000 kg), not imperial/long ton (2240 lbs) or US/short ton (2000 lbs).

Yeah, my education is in electrical engineering and industrial automation. I’ve grown up using computers and like to learn, but I’ve never had any formal education on the subject except for high school programming classes, an intro CS course using Scheme, and a Python 3 bootcamp on Udemy. Everything else that I know is just from hands-on experience and using a search engine.

For hosting services and managing my domain, only a basic understanding is necessary, so I don’t feel held back by it. I do wish that I could contribute to my favourite projects, though.
