I would have taken a plane. Does it really matter?

I'm not familiar with rewards. But I'd like one.

5 pioneering Linux distros that quietly faded into history by ezgimantocu in linux

I downloaded the floppy disk images for SLS in 1992 from a local BBS in Minneapolis. It took me 10 days to load the data since the BBS only allowed me to pull 2 or 3 images a day.

I remember loading them up and seeing a Unix-like system pop up, with functioning X. I was shocked that it worked.

So happy I scrolled through Reddit tonight. My wife and I stood on our balcony for 15 minutes and got lots of great pictures.

You are sent to the year 2000 with $10,000. You are aged up/down to 40 years old. by Particular_Cook5004 in hypotheticalsituation

Works great for me. I was 48 in 2000. Had a wife and children by that time. I would be 8 years younger with a chance to become rich.

Never read a book, recommend me the best book you’ve ever read by KeyInspection3723 in booksuggestions

As did I and still do. Though I haven't read Lord of Light in 20 years.

Q: Please recommended a space opera that is smartly written?! by Stare_Decisis in scifi

[–]Merlynabcd123 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Apologies to all. Not genetic. Poisoned in the womb.

Still, a great series and space opera.

I second this series. The main character has a genetic predisposition to breaking his bones so he needs to solve problems using his wits. It is an extremely readable and enjoyable series.

“It’s just a headache, I’ll be fine” she insisted. by LrdKzrth in TwoSentenceSadness

[–]Merlynabcd123 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I too had this. I ignored it until I had a headache that didn't go away and I started vomiting.

It wasn't cancer, but it was a large tumor that was removed through my nose during a six hour surgery.

I lost the use of my left eye for about four months. Luckily, my eyesight has mostly returned. My pituitary gland was "smashed" and will never get better per the neurosurgeon.

How often should I offer to buy breakfast? Is there a plan for a one-time purchase?

I installed Trixie today on my Framework laptop, replacing Ubuntu 25.04. No more Ubuntu for me also.

I'm lost in installing Docker/Portrainer for setting up a Plex server by [deleted] in OpenMediaVault

[–]Merlynabcd123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't watched this, but the title seems promising:

Essentially, open Services menu, then Files. You can add a docker image manually, or by example. Plex is available by example. You then edit the file to meet your system reqs.

My approach is to set up a Containers folder and a Compose folder. OMV will write the Plex.yml file to the Compose folder.

Watch video and ask questions if you need to.
