Well there was also gobo Linux, which would let you play Tetris while the installation did its thing.

Aha, interesting, thank you. So setting nofail and a time out of, say, 5s should work… but what then when I try to access the share, will it attempt to remount it?

How the hell do I set up my NAS (Synology) and laptop so that I have certain shares mapped when I’m on my home network - AND NOT freeze up the entire machine when I’m not???

For years I’ve been un/commenting a couple of lines in my fstab but it’s just not okay to do it that way.

Shift/Ctrl+Ins/Del unite! 😁 And yes, muscle memory is a powerful drug. Been using it since before Windows came along, kept using it after. Especially useful after I switched to Dvorak (and yes, I know of Colemak).

Correct, it is not.

I’ve been extremely fond of “Our Groceries” for many years. It strikes a sweet spot between features and simplicity of use, and the devs are very responsive and have added several features after my suggestions. Really the only downside right now is that it can’t use the front facing camera on my wall mounted android tablet for scanning barcodes.

I just love your very apt (although likely accidental) usage of distro hoping.

I’m not a native English speaker.

Neither am I, but I’ve yet to meet someone enjoying depression to the point of getting a “high” out of it.

Time may be linear, but life and learning is not. I’m 49, and was diagnosed with adhd at 47 – let me tell you, that put my past in perspective. I, too, have had many, many more failures than I’d like, and have had my battles with my inner demons. I’m still around, and want to provide as much compassion as I needed then. So I’m very glad to hear back from you, total stranger.

Be proud of your core identity. Have faith that things will work out. They may not be perfect, but in life there is zero guarantee of things being “fair” so be greatful for what little you feel that you do have going for you. I’m cheering for you.

Semicolon tattoo gang member checking in. I am not a bot.

Being “high” on depression sounds very snarky and I do not believe you. I wish you to be well.

This is me reaching out to you, saying the world is a better place for having you in it. If you disagree, I insist that you send me a PM so we can talk it over.

You are a worthy human being.

Good bot.

I am so happy to see some of the useful bots make a reappearance here. And you got yourself quite the nifty name, too.

Yes. My previous job used Linux (and OpenVPN), but I started a new job recently, which involves Windows 10 (and three separate VPN apps) on my workstation, and it’s driving me insane! I can’t even find half the settings in looking for, the start menu is a mess (until I found OpenShell which introduces an XP like start menu!), and the eternal requests to restart the damn thing. It drives me nuts.
