Almost universally, any time there's a power vacuum (whether in the first larger-than-tribes societies, or in societies where state power has become weak), the first authority figures that fill the power vacuum are dicks

wielding real power, in ways that feel quite uncomfortable.

Yes, it's called feeling guilty about others calling out your attitude. Most people who aren't power seeking assholes experience that feeling regularly and have learned to deal with it.

Couples therapists say they can tell within a few minutes if a couple is worth working with or not: if it's anger they're displaying, then that's something that can be worked through. If it's dismissiveness, all hope is lost.

Imagine getting told by a couples therapist that they can't see your relationship working out... And then you go on a big rant saying how you should still be together?

Flatpak creates a "fake" home directory as part of its sandboxing. So what firefox sees as /home/mario is actually /home/mario/.var/app/org.mozilla.firefox/. At least on Mint, might be different in debian?

Are you sure you have the right folder? Does ~/.var/app/org.mozilla.firefox/.mozilla exist?

cache suggests you've only moved your cached data, not your profile.

Mint for my desktop system. It just does exactly what I want it to, has good compatibility with software and Cinnamon is my DE of choice.

NixOS for my server, because being able to use one config repo and format for everything is so nice.

Unless it has changed recently, Docker is not intended to be a security layer as far as I know.

As I understand it, the problem that both Nix and Docker try to solve is "How do I bundle and run this application in such a way that its dependencies are explicitly specified and don't interfere with anything installed on the host system".

They have different approaches, but I think that goal is the same?

Honestly, since getting into NixOS, I've found that much more of an elegant system than Docker or whatever.

If you're a furry Linux user, you're only allowed to use desktop backgrounds of Xenia. :P

Assuming you're serious and I'm not being whoosed, remember that Linux is a tool, not a cause. Many use Linux because they like Linux, not because they want to purge all non-free things from their life.

Remember you can dual boot. You can keep the Windows install around on a separate partition for when you need to use it.

I play Stellaris, Stardew and Slime Rancer on Linux, and they seem to work last I've tried.

dd is completely safe.

Only if you have the correct args and device names. Make a backup if you want to do it from the command line and aren't feeling 100% confident.

When I've needed to transfer data over to a new disk, I've used gparted from a live usb to copy/paste partitions directly. Once that's done, you'll probably need to update /etc/fstab to point to the new drives and run update-grub (assuming you are using grub) to update the bootloader config.

Why do they need information about the hostname? Is it really valuable for them to know how many systems are named daves-pc?
