The title is a play on the wedding rhyme/tradition, dating back to 19th Century England, of the bride wearing “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue (and a sixpence in her shoe),” for good luck. The green, of course, refers to the pigmentation of Orions....

(Disclaimer: yes, I bought a $180 4TB Crucial SSD too, but my family split the cost with me since they’re going to use my Jellyfin server. Whether that counts towards the final cost is up to you. And the electricity cost is pretty negligible to run a Le Potato as a server, but I guess you can count that too.)...
Ubuntu is great but uses snaps and adds other canonical bits. Linux Mint is essentially perfect but does not come with gnome desktop. Is there a ubuntu based distro that is essentially like linux mint but offers gnome as a desktop?

Seriously, with the devastating defeat to the Borg and the Borg uni-matrix, you would have thought that Voyager would have took home some extras cubes, or at least Spheres or Probes as souvenirs. The Borg wouldn’t of noticed that those ships weren’t Borg, and Starfleet would have gotten some killer Victory Royales against...

Sorry not sure where to ask. I saw a comic about dark mode a few days ago on Lemmy. I thought I would share with my friend, but can’t find it.
