So my main language is Greek and I read english and greek books. Depending on the book/author I may have 2-5 words per page that I may not understand (or at least I want to understand them better). Thus, many times after I finish a page, I use aard2 and either search the word in the english-to-english dictionary or (rarer) in...

Pretty much every time I cry, my nose gets super runny and my throat gets slimy. Why is that?

Every time someone mentions an interesting book, I make a note of it. Then a couple times a month, I go back through my notes, pop open a website that shall not be named, snag em all, throw them into calibre-web and sync them down to my ereader. I can get hours of enjoyment from a 1-2MB file, and I love that. Same for older...

I know this is probably a shitposting meme. And my wife and my female friend, when I asked them, both laughed and said, “Yeah all the time.” I can’t tell if it’s sarcasm....

I’m having a hell of a time with my current ISP (sitting at 18 days now without a connection) and I’m having to bite my tongue every time I’m talking to them (Remember The Human and all that)...

I’m not a true believer in crypto, but I used to play around with it. I have received a 5-figure USD sum of bitcoin from the MtGox settlement, and I’m considering my options. It is a true windfall. It was worth maybe $100-200 when I used to play daytrader and shop silk road with it....

I need to change ISPs and need to find a new email provider. This time I want to move to my own domain which I purchased through Namecheap and I do not want to use another ISP’s email system nor do I want to use Google, or Microsoft since I am Linux (and Android too) based. I would like this to be US based or at least have a...

When I watch certain of his Youtube clips, etc… some things bug me off. What do you think of it?

For context: My family isn’t the richest and we live in a super rural area. Our house is a small 1 story home with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. My parents take 1 room and I (14 m almost 15) share a room with my older sister (17 f) which can be kinda annoying. We also share a bed which is normal for us since we’ve been sleeping...

Hello everybody! My brother plays Insurgency Sandstorm a lot and I wanted us to be able to play together, so I got it and after some messing about got it working on my system. One of the things I read in forum posts to do to get it to work on an Arch based system is to install glibc-eac-bin which has some patches to make certain...

Ok, this is what i call a “gourdian knot” of a problem, admittedly of my own doing. first of, my tablet is an onn 10.1" surf tablet. nothing special. and it was many many months ago i thought “yeah, i’d root it” and it worked, but braindead me thought i did it wrong and tried again and mis-clicked and deleted something...

While trying to find a torrent for a show, I became curious about how others are creating the torrents I know and love. Is ripping a video from a streaming service relatively easy? Are there tools y’all would recommend?

Don’t worry they were cobol programmers

I installed Pipewire a while ago to fix some audio problems. Now it’s time for the 22 upgrade. Can I just run the upgrade or will the existing Pipewire installation cause problems? Has anyone done that already?

I’m trying my best to dive back into the past and play all the gems that I missed as a kid because I was either born too late or too much of a kid to consider playing them. I found myself really disappointed going back to the old mario nes/snes titles because they felt really bad to play as I’ve become accustomed to modern...
