There are actually beggar gangs that can be obscenely rich, particularly in China.

You could acquire a pretty cheap PC for Linux it runs on a potato. Try an electrical scrap heap nearby that you can fossick from or a friend with an old, unused system in storage (even a cheap $20 retro PC from your local marketplace?) to acquire an old retro system. You might not even need a new screen depending what connections your existing screens/TV has and if you could use a cheap adapter and cable from the thrift store.

Linux runs on basically any retro PC and laptop excluding some annoying wifi chips that need planning before the install if you don’t have ethernet. Some really old tech may also require specific distributions that still offer support too.

Machines with a 32bit CPU you will want to confirm beforehand if your chosen distribution still offers a supported 32bit install image and retro PC’s with obscure expansion cards that perhaps were never supported. This is likely moving into vintage collectors territory though and you would have to be pretty lucky now to find a machine like that super cheap and working.

I’ve been using archinstall it’s actually pretty good now.

Enhance!

Most of it has been slop for the last decade too.

Devil Daggers

When I was in China we visited the tombs of the ancient Emporers. Chinese culture dictates that respect for the dead includes absolutely no pictures and no gawking or unnecessary peering/staring at final resting places.

There was one Emporer in particular though that has such a bad reputation as pretty much being rotten to the core his whole tomb is open for public viewing. We walked right through his area, gawked at his stone coffin and stared at everything in there, along with a great line of many other tourists.

Yeah, fk that guy…

I good leather belt.

Here is a thread from my instance discussing the problem: https://aussie.zone/comment/9484368

Since the new update some instances are counting votes at zero.

Wait, you do realise this is Linuxmemes right?

If you are unsure I would certainly disconnect the second drive just to be sure and have piece of mind.

After learning how to install medicat i discovered ventoy. With ventoy you can copy and paste how ever many bootable iso files you like into it and run them all from the same drive/partition from a selectable boot menu. It’s amazing, I won’t be using dd anymore for boot disks.

Plants, more plants! Preferably trees, endemic or edible that I can’t fit on my property but guerilla garden into my local area.

Also, the occasional coffee.

Ubuntu snap is broken therefore Ubuntu is broken…

Ahh, the quintessential debian initiation, welcome to the club.

Ask people how many trees they planted this week.

So tell me, how many trees have you planted this week? So far I’ve planted 2, I did take some time off tree planting early this week to organise my spring vegetable patch though.

Most people outside of China have no idea. Another great one from China is the daylilly (hemerocalus) which the flower is eaten after cooking but more commonly dried and reconstituted then cooked. .

Daylilly shoots and root bulblets can also be eaten cooked but should be reserved for more of an emergency food as they contain a mild toxin that can build up on the body.

Lillium longiflorum, L.tigrinum and a few other lillium are an ancient Chinese foraging food still eaten today. You can find dried Lillium flower and bulb scales in Asian markets everywhere.
