Hi. I’m German. I bake my own bread. My parents bake bread. My brother bakes bread.

We freeze the bread after it’s cooled down from being baked.

You know why?

Because that way, it’s great even weeks later.

Sure, nothing beats bread that’s just out of the oven. But honestly, I think I prefer bread that’s been frozen and reheated even to bread that’s only 1-2 days old.

Waaaaaay Less stale.

Sorry, I though my comment was sufficiently self-humerous 😅

Of course custom configs are not suitable for anyone but the config-urator. Hence, custom configs :D

All DEs are jank. The only good DE is the tiling wm I put 10k lines of config into.

Don’t get me wrong, that’s also janky, but it’s my fault jank.

I recommend using Usenet for German stuff, all the private trackers I have tried in the past were… seedy.

Yes, you need to pay for access to the Usenet, but it’s worth it for German language audio IMO.

Check out scenenzbs.com, no need to pay to search there. Check if everything you need is available, though likely, it will be.

I have not had a failed download yet.

Generally I agree with everyone else, Linux Mint is great.

However, if you really want to not worry at all, you could just buy a laptop from e.g. Tuxedo or System76. They come with Linux preinstalled (I think in the case of Tuxedo at least, you even have a choice of which Linux Distro?), and are guaranteed to have no hardware “difficulties” with Linux, i.e. even if you put another distro on it, you won’t encounter driver issues.

(Those have become very rare anyways, but do put a damper on the “Firsttime Linux Experience” if you do encounter them…)

We get birthdays off, not counting towards the 30 days paid holidays, which is completely separate from unlimited paid sick days. Oh, and also since last Wednesday, the entire company is on holidays, we’re back 2nd week of January. Doesn’t count towards the 30 days, of course 👍

Dang that’s impressive

Or disappointing, Idk

Newer bathrooms here just don’t have doors. Just two right angles. Can’t see in from the outside, but don’t need to touch a door handle.

It’s perfect.

Vikunja seems to check all your boxes

You can even just do Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V.

It somehow feels… Wrong, but it just works.

Thanks! Yep, same thought about the version checks. I’ll spin up a VM for now and see if that allows for suitable experimentation, otherwise fingers crossed I don’t brick the device.

The web-server thing is probably safer, agreed, but packaging my own update is just so much more tempting… :D

Oh whoops I thought you were 0v0 🤦🏼‍♀️ Thanks anyways though :D

Hey, thanks, but that’s the A5x, a newer Android tablet. Different hard and software

Fantastic.

Since the zip also includes a bunch of shell scripts, I think it’s possible I could also just install ssh directly - but the image will certainly make experimenting in a VM the safer option until something works out… ^^

Oh man, I can’t wait to get home from work on Friday (currently stuck on the other side of the country 🫠)

Edit: also, can I somehow buy you a beer/coffee somewhere digitally?

No way!! You’re the goat. I spent the day trying to get behind how the cracking worked by making simple examples, and you just… Solve the puzzle :D

Awesoms, thank you so much!! I’ll appreciate update this thread if this leads to something :D

Theoretically… But this is 5 levels of knowledge above my head, I fear :D

I own the goddamn device, I should be able to do whatever I want with it…

The device, if connected, reads as mtp. Can’t reformat.

Yeah, good idea. They added a network “mirroring” functionality at some point, so SOMETHING is listening on some port.
