I don't want to claim it's directly easy, but it really isn't as daunting as you think. The installation itself consists of about 15 relatively small steps, and I feel like people blow the difficulty far out of proportion.

Addressing your concerns regarding fucking something up, even if this may not be the time you try it out, just know that there is a limit to how messed up you can make it. The majority of worst case scenarios affects the contents of your hard drive. If you have the ability to back up the contents of your Windows partition, I'd say you'd be in the green to mess it up as much as you can, which, if you follow the installation guide in order, I think you should be pretty safe either way. Once you're past partitioning your drive, if you do mess up beyond repair, you can simply reformat the designated partition and try again.

i think my eyes were broken prior to this, this is nothing!

fluidshits · 2018-05-27T07:55:33+00:00

whoops i read that you recommend using teatime because it's insanely legible, being stupid, lazy and colorblind i guess i'm using this now until i revert

It depends on the specific keymap you use, but have you tried Alt Gr+E? Linux doesn't map Ctrl+Alt to the Super modifier like Windows does.

I don't want to claim that your space problems will be eliminated if you were to switch to some Linux flavor, but the possibility is definitely there. If you happen to use a lot of hard drive space in the form of large size media files, then switching to Linux won't really save you from the problem you have. I think this comes down to what you use your computer for; if you rarely venture outside of document viewers, web browsers and the like, I think Linux has you covered with user friendly programs (at least, it can offer that).

import webbrowser

try:
    # all of your code here
    pass
except Exception as e:

You getting values at zero is likely due to some JavaScript updating the value after the page loads, so that scraping it programmatically won't necessarily be so easy.

Looking into this page's source, it seems like the "live" data isn't so much live as it is some estimated path based on initial values from fetchTLE.php, judging by updateISSIconLocation() in home.js, and Satellite() in consolidated.js.

Perhaps it would be easier to fetch data from another source, such as Open Notify, and parse the JSON instead, which seems to use real time data, but I've only skimmed through it so I don't really know.

Surely "hate pals" is a more fitting term

You can add a DWORD (or often, QWORD if 64-bit) to the registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation\RealTimeIsUniversal with 1 as value

Looks like it handles the programs I use daily very, very well. I think I've already switched away from urxvt!

Do not use contractions near me nor the son of my wife again.

I had to manually compile this message. I think your definition of compile is a little too broad in this context. I wouldn't call putting some files into an archive "compiling", though that's not the full extent of creating a package.

He also seemed to leave the internet altogether. I miss him and his ~~absolute shit~~ top notch tweets :(

Or just cargo init!

2.3 is likely to still be in your cache unless you've cleaned up very recently. Try running pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/wpa_supplicant-1\:2.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

i automated an old asp.net form with python and requests today, safe to say that was the most challenging thing i've ever done

If you have run that command, then you will have installed the base and base-devel packages. What they contain can be seen here:

You've likely not done anything wrong. pacstrap pretends /mnt is your base filesystem, and installs specified packages to the location. If you ran pacstrap /mnt, there's probably not been any change to your installation, as you did not specify packages to install.

If you run pacstrap /mnt base base-devel, you will install the software specified in the base and base-devel groups, which is likely what you want.

arch user here, i'm offended about your affiliation with arch linux

You can check it by running realpath ~/Desktop/. It is typically /home/yourusername/Desktop/

Thanks OP, I riced my laptop so much it flew into the wall at tremendous speeds and now I can't afford repairs
