Very integrity,
such independent,
much rigorous.
Wow.

pavucontrol probably the best option given your distro. Go with that.

Ain’t that the truth. But I love the workflow they offer. You don’t have to go looking for new windows. You can easily pin applications to virtual desktops and I prefer the multihead model they use over the one used by gnome or KDE.

Only on geologic timescales, though, which requires special preservation, otherwise there won’t be any remains.

Accidentally flashed a live image (PCBSD, IIRC) onto my 1TB external HDD instead of the thumb drive. Lost years of collected music and movies that night. I learned two things:

1. Don’t do this sort of thing in the middle of the night, when you’re tired and should be sleeping.
2. dd is nicknamed ‘disk destroyer’ for good reason.

You can either try to contact the seller and ask for the password or just erase the UEFI settings by shorting some jumper or something. There should be instructions how to do that for your specific model.

Also it’s time for a new sign.

But I have to fight the stupid OS to give me useful information. I have to install 3^(rd) party stuff. By default you only get this useless error reporting tool. Even if you report an error your likely to never hear from anyone and the chance of the error being fixed is virtually nonexistent.

On Linux the necessary information is usually readily available. The worst offender in my experience is Steam itself. You can get logs from games fairy easily. But if Steam misbehaves things can get more complicated.

True. Although the true joke seems to be the fact that there’s a Panic! At the Disco song by that name.

It’s called evening. Maybe even night.

No

That we can agree on. But they’re real fakers.

What do they mean by “fake arrow decals?” They’re real arrow decals. Just not helpful ones.

This might work.

If your gums get damaged by pickles it may be time to see a dentist.

If you’re ready to take a bit of a dive, take a look at NixOS. As a CI/CD guy it might be right up your alley.
It allows you to configure your entire system via a single, declarative config file, including any configurations for installed software. You could even develop the config in a VM and, once you’re happy with it, use the same for to configure your host machine.
Be warned, though: the wiki is nowhere near as good as the Arch wiki.

In entirely unrelated news, that kid was just given up for adoption.

Seems bigger.

I pet a black cat on a daily basis. A tuxedo, too.

Several good suggestions on here already. Home manager might be another approach.
