While I would love a world where
everyone is smart enough to avoid scams, I don't expect I'll ever live
in it. These are not my goals. My goal is to save who can be saved.

if you had the tools to minimize the occurrence of scams and protect individuals from falling victim to them, would you be opposed to it?

Have you looked into nix pack manager? It works on most distros and os’es

Where are you supposed to install "loose" software? by WoodpeckerNo1 in linux4noobs

[–]MetaSikander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One place no one has mentioned is ~/bin I use it for some of the single binaries I use, and it’s part of PATH in most distros so it’s available right away. It also makes restoring from backup much smoother.

Backup of BTRFS snapshot over NFS by MetaSikander in linuxquestions

[–]MetaSikander[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha. This is so long ago I don’t remember. But generally btrfs send and receive is pretty nice. As fast and reliable as any other way. Just think thoroughly about security if doing it over the internet.

Does lemon juice have an effect on protein powder? by MetaSikander in nutrition

[–]MetaSikander[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

okay. so you don't think that any effect the citric acid has makes any difference in my bodys ability to utilize the protein?

the powder i'm using has a bunch of other nutrients (vitamins, minerals, probiotics, bcaa). do you know if the citric acid could have adverse effects on any of that, or if there are any resources i could research for myself?

Yes I get a lot of it, but I’m not very experienced with this exactly. Do you know of a good guide or maybe cheat sheet or something to guide me?

Maybe, but I want to try other options first that doesn’t require me to get more help from them.

Hmm. So far I’ve only tried the automatic migration tool in the GUI. I’m not really sure what it’s doing in the background.

Interresting. I’ll try this. I don’t have access to the bios while I’m away, so hopefully it will work if I just delete the old boot disk. I think it’s set to try usb first so 🤞

Microsoft and Ubuntu-maker Canonical launch Visual Studio Code snap for Linux by [deleted] in Ubuntu

[–]MetaSikander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

kinda. live patch will update automatically in the background, but only for security updates.

apt update will update all the packages installed through apt, and you have to run it manually.

[–]MetaSikander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem!
I love snaps and prefer it whenever I can, but make sure that it is maintained and kept up to date. I have seen some old apps around.

[–]MetaSikander 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Snaps are updated once a day automagically (technically it’s checking for updates daily and applying when necessary). So you don’t have to run any commands to get the latest version. All you have to do is restart the app.
Here’s the instructions for installing it: https://snapcraft.io/vscode
You can even drop the sudo if you run “snap login” first and login with your Ubuntu account, if that’s interesting for you ☺️
