Switched from Ubuntu to Debian yesterday
Why switch?...
Between two married professional actors, the roleplay foreplay must be incredible.
Adding TorrentLite to Sonarr
I used to have RARBG in sonarr and everything worked beautifully. Since they shut down my indexers sometimes don’t find the available torrents. The only one that kind of works is piratebay. I like the torrentlite website but I’ve been waiting for it to appear in the list of indexers in jackett. Is there any way for me to add...
Use work laptop as personal device by dual booting on a separate internal drive?
I currently have a Dell laptop that runs Windows for work. I use an external SSD via the Thunderbolt port to boot Linux allowing me to use the laptop as a personal device on a completely separate drive. All I have to do is F12 at boot, then select boot from USB drive....

IPTV Signup details
Probably a stupid question, but when signing up for an IPTV service, do you give real details? If not, how do you make them up?! Or do they require real details?
Trying to find and understand the best microblogging platforms for my needs
These days I searched and try to understand more about Mastodon alternatives, and see Pleroma and Misskey (and his forks) are more lightweight than Mastodon, and saw some people says Mastodon has some security vulnerabilities....
Linux Mint Mate
Is there a way to normalize system tray icon sizes? Currently they just look awful on my work machine and growing or shrinking the panel just makes the disparity worse.
Where? Is? Quick Look!?
By far, the feature I most sorely miss in Linux compared to macOS is Quick Look. Press the space bar, see file contents. Use the arrow keys, view different files. Simple, quick, and WAY faster than opening an entire app every single time I want to check the contents of a file. I also miss the column view in conjunction with...
Newsgroups?
Just saw on Titus Tech Talk that torrents are last decade, and newsgroups is where it’s at for this stuff. Of course he didn’t elaborate, so I need some help here....
What's an elegant way of automatically backing up the contents of a large drive to multiple smaller drives that add up to the capacity of the large drive? (Linux)
So I have a nearly full 4 TB hard drive in my server that I want to make an offline backup of. However, the only spare hard drives I have are a few 500 GB and 1 TB ones, so the entire contents will not fit all at once, but I do have enough total space for it. I also only have one USB hard drive dock so I can only plug in one...
Current Best Remote Access Method?
So for the past few years (?) I have been using wireguard to vpn into (effectively) my firewall and a dynamic dns setup to access that remotely. But with the shitshow that is google domains and the like, this seems like a good opportunity to look into a few of the alternatives. I am not entirely opposed to just going in and...

Hard Science Futurism: What types of theoretical prefabricated materials would the first stellar generation ship carry to construct an O'Neil cylinder upon arrival?
Assuming we are talking about an era when Sol has a thriving space industry and the Solar system is broadly colonized. Current materials science supports structures up to 8 kilometers in diameter, and if large scale graphene production is possible, up to 100km in diameter, at least according to Isaac Arthor....

Nostr vs Mastodon and why I'm using both
Nostr and Mastodon have both positioned themselves as “twitter alternatives” and both offer some degree of federation. I have done quite a bit of reading and testing with both and am writing this in case you are curious about which one may work best for you....

Hello everyone,...
Where can I get tabletop books?
I’m looking for World of Darkness books, the backup of the trove on reddit is missing a lot of the books so I’m wondering if anyone knows where I can find something more complete?
Viggo Mortensen has be in The Road, On the Road, and about a dozen road genre movies.
What does rehabilitation look like in Star Trek? How might we apply some of these ideas to a western prison system?
I’m curious about rehabilitation. I believe crime comes from access to resources and/or from a lack of emotional education (such as empathy, patience, and sympathy)....
