There is RedHat and SUSE. Which are also the only two certified distros for running corporate/enterprise CAD/CAM/FEA and PLM software. They both provide rock solid stability.
Well technically that is phonics, you see a new word, as a learner, you know how to sound it out. Compared to the Whole Word learning method where somebody has to teach you what a word says. English is a nasty mess of both.
It would still have happened at some point, chatgpt is not the only AI. I hate we called it AI.
Yeah my wife uses Market Place, but for me their privacy policies and data gleaning steered me away. Craigslist is still big and busy where we are in the Vancouver area. Either way it good to connect locally.
We bought 6 Eggnog oat/ soy milk on sale from grocery store. Odd taste compared to other brands, rather than return my wife put it for free on Market Place, and some family came and got it. They were so happy since it was their favourite kind.
We found a 7 foot tree for free, a retired dude was having to leave his apartment to go into longterm care. We offered him cash for it, but he wouldn’t take it. My wife took a cutting and propegated it for a while, then we dropped it off at his care home with a watering can so he can continue growing his tree. They keep in touch once in a while.
I think these moments got lost for a while with the technology boom, and people staying home being constantly entertained.
Craigslist also has a free section, we have given and received on there.
As a teen we went through the collapse in the 80s when (in Canada) mortgage rates hit 21%. So Get your mortgage rate locked in now and don’t have a renewel pending in the next 2 years.
For my family in the 80s it meant most income was going to the mortgage and we had to be very frugal. We ate a lot of potatoes and beans, no restaurants ever, and no extras. My dad also hunted, left over meats went into soups.
We are currently living frugally for reasons. We buy bulk dried chick peas, kidney beans, lentils (various kinds), frozen peas, rice. We stock up on potatoes , carrots, onions and canned tomatoes. With a large selection of spices and occasionally other ingredient we can make a wide variety of dishes. Weekly grocery shop is around $35-50.
I expect for those in the USA the luxury of lavish meals will need to become more like my frugal diet.
Drop extra services…do you really need more than one streaming service, could you go without and scour the thrift store for BlueRay / DVDs , the libraries have free rentals of new releases.
Carpool. Barter between neighbours to exchange services.
I bought a new XBOX drive off amazon once. Stickers says void if opened so I didn’t open the case till I found a larger drive and was going to swap the drive in the case. The drive inside was dirty as hell. Like it spent years in a dirty factory. SMART report looked good, but the drive itself was from 2011, but the controller board was from 2017. Some retailer was grabbing old drives and swapping the control board, I assume as repair or likely to falsify drive use hours.
I reported to Amazon as seller fraud, initially they said you are way out of your return period. So I had to explain it doesn’t when I discover a seller has commited fraud, it is fraud.
A good relationship is when you communicate a want / need to your partner and then it is in their court to say if they can fulfil that. Sometimes people have hangups and good partners respect those quirks.
Does Mint have Apparmor installed?
It is default on OpenSUSE. When you add a new application you start apparmor, run your application through its normal use, it “learns” how the system is used by the app, you then apply this as an enforce option or warn option. If the app deviates it gets blocked or warning generated.
Also OpenSUSE has a hardening GUI that looks at your system and configs and lists out all the areas that pass, fail or need attention. It is a great visual tool, and gives explanations/suggestions. Maybe there is Mint package that emulates this. Yast Security Center (see image)
https://documentation.suse.com/sles/15-SP4/html/SLES-all/cha-security-yast-security.html
If you don’t know the zypper commands just go into the GUI Yast Software tool, click on the various heading drop downs.
Under Options drop-down you can check the option “Cleanup when deleting packages”
Under View filter you can select Uneeded Packages, click to uncheck the boxes of what shows up and Apply.
Also these are handy sheets.

Interesting. A lady I worked with was there. She said initially the soldiers / convoy were friendly as they were just people too, and students brought them drinks and food since they were just at a standstill forever. Until the order came to clear the protest.
Gnome keyring should remember your partitions that have password encryption, there is a setting to unlock gnome keys with login. If you mean before login then cryptab and fstab can be set to password unlock. Unless I am misunderstanding the usecase you want.
The irony is Facebook contributes to opensource linux, heavily for btrfs which they use for certain data storage.
Security threat to the US Fascist Government maybe. Maybe coinicdence that it was near Jan 20th. Maybe I am looking to deep but looks like USA is trying to be North Korea or China . Use Windows face recognition and telemetry to to track users, censor alternative OSs from public knowledge.
If you can’t do full keto, skip rice and use lentils. They have a lot of fibre and protein. They will make you feel full the next day also due to fiber. Some are 20% protein but the ones I can get locally are 30% protein. For us the brown ones are a substitute for dishes that want ground beef. Like a meatloaf, or chilli. The red ones break down nicely in a thickened soups and stews.
You can get lentil flour from Indian stores, for trying out recipes that ask for wheat flour. Takes some adjusting.
Yeah, I expanded in my reply
Yeah, I failed to expand on the example. During COVID they faced bankruptcy and the board sold out (without consulting members) I assume there could have been a lawsuit over that but due to bankruptcy a lawsuit would probably not gain anything. Prior to the sellout though we as members got info and choices on voting who ran it, and profit sharing rebates when times were good. In the final years it seemed people voted in CEO types rather than enthusiast outdoor types. Not sure if that led to the collapse, or it was already headed that way.
When it was operating as a coop years back items were affordable and we still had profit, something changed toward covid era though, maybe markets shifted and MEC didn’t adapt. They still sell some good stuff but a lot of it now is MEC branded AliExpress stuff. Also don’t buy their MEC branded inner tubes they barely last a few rides.
With a Union you still have an adversarial owner who makes company decisions. Coop stuff is voted on by the coop owners, direction of profit is determined by coop mandate.
Eg, we are with a Credit Union for banking, we vote on new policy changes that affect members investments.
For MEC (mountain equipment company) it is coop, we voted who gets to be a board member running the company.
Thankfully Linux OSs exist.
I never tried for YouTube. I mainly use for technical info, in which it gets me to the results. Google has an advantage for YouTube search since they own both platforma and share meta data. Stract is probably oldschool webcrawling. I did read somewhere that it takes time for it to build up its hit results. Did you try the content filters?
