OK that’s better than what I’ve seen. Notepadqq I think was 2.4gb and I said no to that one. But again I don’t run Ubuntu.

The snap store is some proprietary store Canonical runs, and snaps are friggin huge in size. I don’t really know though as I don’t use Ubuntu anymore

Speed Queen is still making dumb albeit electronic models. Bit pricey but solid. Or get yourself an old one off Craigslist and call someone to refurb it. Those will often outlast anything else.

yeah I’ve got both. The 3 won’t play the really hi red movies without down sampling from the server

A 4B is kind of the minimum for newer Librelec versions. Still cheap and fanless with a good heat sink case. I’ve learned recently about CEC and it works on my old Panasonic with Viera but I keep a little Bluetooth keyboard around too.

It is kinda shocking how well really old junk runs under Linux vs Windows’s treatment of it.

Just started messing with this last night and can’t find wjhere Jellyfin ends up after installing it.

Yeah just walk through Costco and see the massive varieties of ready to eat stuff. But a ton of people here just eat out all the time too.

Home cooking. It is super easy and about 100x healthier. Don’t know how? Get the America’s Test Kitchen Best Skillet Recipes book. Lots of super easy things in there. Once you get in the habit you really only have to do it 3-4 times a week, and there are lots of frozen meals.

Sort of map-related, but the Longitude series/book is pretty fascinating. This map was drawn without really being able to calculate longitude except by dead reckoning.

Every now and then a website doesn’t work on Firefox.

Jellyfin is working pretty well for TV too, with the Schedules Direct feed. Just doesn’t get the naming right.

This is what millionshort.com was supposed to help with, but now you need an account for it.

I’ve got an Acer Aspire One from 2008 running Mint that still works fine for web stuff and documents. Plays music too, hut not really video

In Linux you just download, extract, and change the symlink. It is really easy.

Really only if you’re running your own email server. Otherwise as far as I know dynamic DNS fills the need.
You aren’t in any more risk either way.

Sounds like maybe you want to look into pfsense to do traffic filtering. Highly recommend.

I didn’t think 1 was bad once I got used to it. It is just really different.

Tumbleweed rebuild the entire repo after the xz-utils thing, I had like 5500 to update

Hmm I have none of these issues
