How to stop thinking about an interaction from my past?
At the first college I went to, which I later dropped out of because it was austere, cruel, and awful, I went to a little high school tour day thing. They had a seminar for prospective students; one of the faculty talking had people coming up and asking him questions at the end, in a classroom. This was fairly informal, but it...

Is there anything I can do to fix it, similar to changing the file extension without changing the contents. PS: It’s a data partition. I was trying to resize it,...
Chex Quest - Download & Play Our Classic Game - Chex Mix
My childhood favorite game. I remember bugging my father to download Chex Quest 2 from his workplace as Internet wasn’t available at home at that time…and by the time it was, I had moved on. I still break this one out to scoop or zorch some Flemoids. Music wasn’t bad either....

Using an iPad as a second monitor (wired)
I’m trying to connect a university ipad (air, usb 3 type c, not tb or lightning) to my laptop (Framework laptop, intel 12th gen) running Fedora workstation 39.

Looking for a better HTPC setup
Hey all! I’m planning on redoing my setup on my PC hooked up to my TV. What I have now works, but I want something a little more streamlined.
