    Hey everyone

    Bash scripting is certainly a pretty fluid and useful skill to have. Everyone wants to customize their operating system to a degree, except maybe not if you are primarily into macs/apple, or you just use your computer for social media and email.

    My SSD has Died and No Backups.

    Laziness and lack of extra hard drive space are two great excuses not to :) For me it's the former, because I must have a couple of terabytes of HDD space lying around.

    My SSD has Died and No Backups.

    I personally just put the few important things I have in cloud accounts, and just shrug about the rest. However, if you basically live on your computer, that is a whole other conundrum.

    VPN Help

    I don't use vpns. My workaround is im extremely cautious about what do on the internet, i take the warning signs very seriously, and try very hard not to show anger, hostility, and i try not to buy anything. Plus, linux does help for the viruses.

    VPN Help

    A full VPN service is almost never free because they have to manage all that traffic and bandwidth. I don't use them, but i've seen it stated multiple times that it's not a good idea without the kill switch (internet shuts off when VPN does). Can any verify the extent that this matters?

    Are you using Private AI yet?

    To my understanding, GPT4 is the best currently available AI chat bot, but it still makes a lot of mistakes and misinterprets queries.

    I bought a VCR not too long ago and a bunch of tapes just cuz nostalgia, and had fun watching videos for a month. Then I was like "these take up so much more space than DVDs and blueray do...", so i gave away the tapes and sold the VCR on ebay. I will always appreciate the crappy VHS look to...

    Solved [Solved] PS5 controller not working

    I'm curious: does the PS5 controller connect via a loose USB cable, or is the end that connects to your controller attached to the controller itself? I prefer the Xbox USB cables for computer gaming, they seem to be more standard and work so much better.

    Why so many Linux distributions support FireFox?

    I think that's worthwhile to bring up: even though chrome doesn't come pre-installed, i have never had an issue installing it. I think the main thing is that firefox is more "ideologically" consistent with the FOSS community. Google clearly isn't trustworthy in terms of how they manage the...
