Well, this thread has strengthened my desire to adopt a teen from foster care. I technically have/had a family but they were more like roommates than parents. Left at 18 and never looked back. Had my share of lonely holidays that I would dread when they came around. I’m not trying to say I’ve had the same story as those here, but I get some parts of it really well. I’m finally at a place where maybe I can prevent that from happening to someone else.

I vaguely remember it being put on hold for some alignment with European privacy laws or something along those lines.

English is a descriptive language instead of prescriptive, so make it happen!

I would check out tutorials or YouTube videos. Try: https://drfrankenstein.co.uk/sabnzbd-in-container-manager-on-a-synology-nas/

Yeah, given my druthers I’d rather summer time, but that seems unlikely happen any time soon. So honestly, I’ll be happy if we no longer have to change clocks twice a year regardless of which we align with.

Oregon Senate just passed that bill. Here’s hoping.

It would appear so: https://blog.elementary.io/updates-for-february-2024/

If you want to dip your toes, go with something easy. Pop_os or Linux Mint are the two most often suggested. Lesser offered but with a Mac OS feel is Elementary.

Oh man, I clicked that link really hoping you were going to link to a Dyson Sphere.

That’s why I loved StumbleUpon when it first came out. I discovered so many cool niche things that way.

And then we block that instance! Or it gets defederated.

Welcome! Don’t be surprised if you feel the need to try out all the distros!

Yeah, I was doing pretty much all that with trakt already, but wasn’t sure if I was missing anything. I do like the ability to hide shows though.

I didn’t know about showly and gave it a try, syncing it to trak.tv. What does this get me that I don’t get through trakt.tv by itself? What am I missing?

Same when I was living in Spain. It was so quick and easy, I almost never needed assistance. There was a noticeable difference when ingot back to the States.

Pop_os is a good choice. It’s a solid distro and a good introduction to Linux. You can distro hop later, start with something easy for now. I installed it as a dual boot in case I needed Windows for something, but this is the first distro I haven’t felt the need to switch back.

Started in college with Mandrake Linux. Used it off and on over the years, though I kept switching back. I recently settled on Pop_OS. Part of what kept me switching back was not having the time to tinker with it. Now that it mostly works, it’s become my daily driver.

For keyboard I’m currently using OpenBoard and ThumbKey, the latter obviously not for everyone.

Adding to your list:

• Droidify
• Trail Sense
• NewPipe
• Logseq
• Syncthing
• Coffee
• Element
• Cryptomator
• VLC
• Geometric Weather
• Termux
• Noteless
• StreetComplete
• Translate You

I’m late, but I have Obsidian set up with Syncthing and it works flawlessly. I adore Syncthing and would be lost without it!

Depending on your note taking needs, if Obsidian is too much, you could do the same with Notable/Noteless and Syncthing.
