  1. I haven't tried either. Don't believe we have them here...

    But damn chips as a whole have gotten expensive. $6 for a bag of Doritos here...

     

    Wow, is the serving size big at least? Or is that just for a regular sized chip bag?

  2. Halfway through the season!

     

    Ishura

    Spoiler

    Story has had a lot of exposition so far, though the threads woven in each episode seem to be coming together in the latest episode. Each of the first 5 episodes was a separate set of character introductions and worldbuilding, so I feel their short length was at a detriment to this type of storytelling. There wasn't much time to explore the characters motives and for rising action before moving on to the next episode. I did appreciate the short callbacks to previously established characters/factions. Despite the slow pace so far, EP6 has left interested to see how the storylines will be joined together in the second half of the season so I will be continuing it.

     

    Witch and the Beast

    Still on PTW. Any thoughts?

     

    I Alone Level Up

    I read the webtoon a while back mostly for the art, and the animation doesn't disappoint. Kind of lost interest throughout the progression of the webtoon but the start hooked me in and has been faithfully adapted so far. Will be continuing.

     

    Been watching Frieren since last season (though a couple episodes behind), and I recently found out it's been the highest rated series on MAL for a while now despite it still airing.

    I've used Linux at a beginner level at work & that's what my NAS runs on.

     

    Oh, I probably should have clarified that was what I was asking. Plenty of people run Windows on their PC's and Linux on their servers.

    I don't want to open up a can of worms here, but what are a few good distros to use as a Novice? My preference would be for one that will set me on the path to using more advanced distros...so if there's one that's beginner friendly but completely unique in its functionality, I wouldn't want that one. I've used Ubuntu for maybe a total of 12 hours...no problems with it but I'm not loyal to it. I hear Mint thrown around pretty often.

     

    Mint is often recommended since it has a very similar experience to Windows. Ubuntu gets used quite commonly on servers and is a nice choice for getting started. If you are looking for a stepping-stone for a more advanced one then maybe Manjaro, a beginner friendly one based on ArchLinux (a minimal distro with a very hands on installation process, which has excellent doc and community). In any case you don't have to worry about locking yourself in with a distro pick. All of these use systemd for init system/service manager, and other than the package manager, pretty much everything else is interchangeable.

    In general I usually discourage operating a mail server from a residential connection because most if not all residential ISPs actually forbid the hosting of any type of server by a residential customer using their network, and this is because depending on the type of server, you'd be not only opening yourself up to attack but also potential abuse - it would not be just you being punished for it, but your ISP would likely face penalties as well ESPECIALLY in the case of SMTP and spam. They thus decided it's never worth the risk, that people can't ever be trusted no matter what they say, and filter the port(s) out at their edge.


    Wow, didn't know ISP's got THAT strict. Forget running a server at home, here you won't get in trouble for torrenting on a public tracker. Who would penalize them, the IANA?

  4. OP never specified if we are talking about modern entertainment or just in general. Unless some theoretical dystopia is trying to outlaw it, I don't see how you could remove all entertainment. We can always try something new or find some form of entertainment in each others company. Where I live its customary and part of the daily routine to chat over coffee after work/uni/school.

     

    I have no idea what I would be doing if I was born in the 60's. My interests and career path have been shaped by the technology of the time I was born in.
