A lot of others are commenting some great stuff. I would like to add, knowing how to program is less about knowing the specific syntax of different commands, and is more about knowing how to work with functional groups and logical paths. Once you get that down, moving to another language then becomes learning the syntax and quirks of the new language.

So, any language is a good starting point, a lot of the skills you learn from it will be applicable to lots of others.

personally, I started with Basic, then C by way of microcontroller and robotics programming.

me, knowing full well Democrats AND Republicans are in the Epstein files

I thought it was a fairly solid OS up until about 20.04, then it started getting wiggy.

I used it a little way back in 2005-2006ish, and decided to give it a try again after a third reinstall of ubuntu within a year last year.

though, I’m about to get a “new” laptop and may toy around with Arch on the old one. I had previously tried setting up Arch in a VM but that’s not supported and ended poorly.

I don’t know about everyone else, but the last couple of years has had the most unstable Ubuntu releases, with the most unrecoverable releases when issues happen.

I’ve since moved to Fedora for desktop and straight Debian for server.

for Jellyfin specifically, get yourself a cheap x86_64 PC and cheap or used graphics card. (or a cpu with integrated graphics)

for example, my jellyfin is running on an AMD FX-6xxx processor and a GTX 670 just fine.

the raspberry pi will work for Jellyfin as long as you don’t have any transcoding to do, but the minute you need transcoding you’ll need a GPU or good encoder/decoder chip.

this leads to the question: are they still considered a moon when the barycenter is in the space between them?

I get it. For convenience and ease of use for interacting with the general public and the government, I’m basically a girl. (born AMAB). However like, I’m a girl only in the way of those sculptures that are different depending on the angle you see it as.

like, yeah sure I’m a girl on a line graph but my gender exists in a 3 dimensional plane and you’re only looking at one.

i work at a call center. half the time when the call drops, it’s the buggy ass voip software.

yes, I don’t pay attention to or care about PewDiePie specifically because of that Nazi shit he did, that I mentioned above.

the reason I dont know is because I been touching grass instead of gluing my eyes to popular let’s players and talking heads.

did he do more Nazi shit after that time? and uh, where did I say he wasn’t a Nazi? I didn’t.

yeah I had been wondering about that. has he done more nazi shit since making people say “Hitler was right” and Holocaust denial shit on fiver?

hmm, yes. this program is made of program.

Programming chess as a single lookup table is wild

seconding remmina, I use it often for RDP activities.

if you don’t mind a lil scripting, I use silverbullet quite a bit for journaling as well as note taking.
