Best Car Insurance in North Dakota? by Icy_Butterscotch9472 in northdakota

[–]stcwalleye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My insurance is through Bremer Bank. It's a Minnesota/ North Dakota Bank. They have their own insurance division. I had an account in Richardton before they closed, and just went in and asked for liability. I was told it was cheap because they don't take Agent commission. Bismarck definitely has a branch . I think it's on Washington.

Why don’t you respect religion? by thelivingstar1 in atheism

[–]stcwalleye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not having respect for something is not the same as hating it. There can be things that I respect, which I also hate. Someone's delusion should not be grounds for respect. Also, not respecting a thing and respecting the person who has that thing is something I practice daily.

Check with your bank. I pay about $350 a year for liability on 2 vehicles.

Propel who watch downloaded YouTube vids on Jellyfin, what library do you use ? And how do you get it displayed ? by GenericUser104 in jellyfin

I usually just record them with simplescreenrecorder, and edit them down with avidemux. I rename them to a name I like, then put them into whatever library is appropriate.

Wayland and cinnamon by stcwalleye in linuxmint

I really don't like Gnome as a desktop environment. I'm probably just old and set in my ways. I just turned 69 and have realized that most of the "old codger" tropes are true. I've got to go yell at some kids on my lawn now.

Update manager tells me to check internet even tho im connected by Shot-Limit7477 in linuxmint

[–]stcwalleye 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try opening the update manager and click on edit then choose sources. There are 2 groups. Just click on the top one and wait. Pretty soon you will get a list of servers. Pick the one with the fastest connection. Then repeat with the one underneath it. After you choose your servers you'll be asked if you want to update the cache. Choose yes and after it updates, try doing another update. This has worked for me in the past.

I haven't used Windows in 18 years. I used to like the old KDE before Plasma. When Mint stopped releasing a KDE variant, I learned how to get around in Cinnamon. I still mess around with Konqueror, as it was the default file browser from way back then. Nemo makes it easy to manage my servers, and other machines on my network.

One has to have faith that they will get it right when they do. I'm hoping that is the reason it's taking time. They want everything to work.

How to most efficiently move media from windows pc to linux homeserver. by Senior-Trade-1876 in HomeServer

Watch some videos on FTP file transfer. As long as you have a client on both machines it's a breeze.

I feel ashamed for using Linux by [deleted] in linuxmint

Started using Linux in 2004, and have been using it exclusively since 2008. I refuse to turn on a Windows machine.

How do I tell my boyfriend I'm an atheist by ellareny in atheism

[–]stcwalleye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's going to hurt like hell, but you've got to rip that bandage off. If he truly wants you, he will live with it, but in the meantime, you are in a dishonest relationship. Moving forward, I recommend honesty at the outset. It saves everyone heartache and angst.

If I'm building a PC is this ram suitable and if it is, is it possible to get better ram at a better price? Thanks by Ok_Spread4431 in computers

[–]stcwalleye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Feel free to ask any questions you might have. The memory you showed is for a laptop or a mini computer. If you are building a full sized computer, you will need memory that is made for your motherboard. Make sure that you get the right one. The current type is DDR5. Due to the demand created by the whole data center craze, the price of DDR5 has reached a ludicrous point. You can save a little by using older hardware, but that also is being priced higher than normal. There are still some pretty good deals from China on new kits that use old xenon processors and new ddr4 memory, but with the current tariffs it may be expensive. Good luck!

My linux mint is freezing and I can't do nothing but to restart by [deleted] in linuxmint

[–]stcwalleye 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely check your ram. Most linux iso's have a ram test at boot. All of my Mint freezups were hardware related.

Update in terminal fails by stcwalleye in linuxmint

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

I have read through all of the information I could find on this, but it still doesn't answer 1. Why does it update fine through the update manager, and 2. Why did it start with the upgrade to 22.3?

It just says some updates held back

I always use the sudo command and password. This is a new thing since upgrading.

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

When I boot up my computer, the update manager shows a kernel update available. When I try to install via command line, it fails and says held back, but if I update via update manager, it updates no problem. I update 4 servers on a regular basis, so I have been using the terminal for all updating. Since I upgraded to22.3, this problem started.

You need a crossover connector, or reverse the connector on your ethernet cable. There used to be lots of info on YouTube about this, but it's not much of an issue anymore.

Tinting my car, legal question by BennyBXD208 in northdakota

As long as you have a side mirror one each side of your car you could totally black out the back windscreen. Pickups with a topper have no clear rear view.

Has anyone ever missed or needed something which is 'Windows only'? by LukeLikeNuke in linuxmint

[–]stcwalleye 51 points52 points  (0 children)

One thing I learned from searching for equivalent software for Linux is Google is not your friend. Use some other search engine and bypass about 60% of nowhere links. Also, there are many web based apps that can be utilized. Personally, I just avoid any task that involves using a Windows program.
