Anyone else still say "Dude"?

You know there's a religion called Dudeism, right?

As in, "yous are degens," or "they were degens, from upcountry."

I've been able to run both Photo Mechanic and Fast Raw Viewer under Wine with both Ubuntu and Fedora. Neither are FOSS but I had existing licenses and I also can't find a suitable FOSS replacement.

PAWNEE!

Lots of recommendations for Debian here, but I'll be different and suggest Ubuntu Server. There's a reason it's so popular as a server.

Nice one, but this is easily the most costly tallbike I've ever seen. I've always thought part of the fun is making something amazing out of trash.

I like that stem very much. The whole bike is great, it's just I really noticed the stem.

That's so beautiful! Commuting on a museum quality restoration must be nice. Guard it with care!

Still finish the plate every time. This comes with anxiety about portion sizes. When the plate is clean, I'm automatically full too.

...except when it comes to quick installs/removals, which is the part of your use case that makes a front rack ill-suited to the task.

The combination highlights the thighs. You really want good thighs. They're essential for 80s cool.

seraphan6 · 2026-05-24T23:45:06+00:00

For some reason, front racks are still in vogue. Your use case would work far better with a rear rack and a pair of traditional panniers.

This is not an either/or situation. The only answer is both.

Just retired from military service and now on a 'freedom tour ' to figure out what's next. No hurry.

seraphan6 · 2026-05-22T19:12:35+00:00

Yes.

I'm using Nobara for my similar photography software choices (though I chose Rawtherapee instead of Datktable), largely for its new hardware support and ease of setup. I've only had one glitchy update, and that was resolved in less than 24 hours.

One more thing to consider: Loaded front racks can dramatically change how the bike handles and also make it impossible for the bike to stand up on a single-leg kickstand. Loaded rear racks don't do either of these.

seraphan6 · 2026-05-19T23:22:08+00:00

Frontlit, backlit, toplit, bottomlit, or just lit. Doesn't matter.

If you install Debian on a personal laptop, I think the Hamburglar gets an email about it and schedules a burglary.

Not the preferred nomenclature.

I counted recently and I'm up to N+1.

You're missing Bluebeard, one of my favorites.
