If you are going to dual boot and your computer has room for 2 drives. The way I would recommend doing it is to add a second drive for Linux, and disconnect to windows drive from the computer. Do a normal linux install. And then add the windows drive back in. Then you can set one of the drives as the default boot device and if you want to boot to the other just open the Boot options on boot.

This keeps things totally separated and you can even remove one of the drives later if you want to single boot.

EDC Toolkit (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by beirdobaggins@lemmy.world to c/edc@sopuli.xyz
  • 6 in 1 Milwaukee Fastback with bit-driver

  • Curated set of bits to fit most occasions.

  • Icon micro ratchet with extension and 1/4 square socket adapter.

  • Cheap 4 mm bit driver, seems like it is the same as the Harbor freight one I've seen before.

  • Knipex 87-100 cobra pliers

  • Mini Bic lighter

  • Bit of glue stick

  • Bit of gaffer tape

  • 16 feet of micro cord

  • A few zip ties cut down to shorter length

  • Tweezer man nail tool that came with nail clippers. I use it a lot for poking, scraping and prying.

It all packs up pretty well in an old earbud case I found at a thrift store.

The only things I still want to add to this kit is the Knipex xs Pliers Wrench and a double sided sharpie.

I lived in Austin, TX and used to know a homeless guy, Walter Dwight Green 1955, back in '98 that spent winters in jail for public intoxication for the same reasons.

Including name, in case anyone else knew him and wants to chat. He was originally from Kentucky.

I was a teenager at the time but I tried to help him as much as I could.

I had to leave town for a year, when I came back, I found out he froze to death in the winter I was gone.

TBF, if a potential partner is super excited about something you never heard of, looking into it is a good thing.

Conservatives, and other assholes, are good about hiding their crazy behind seemingly innocent things, like pepe the frog.

Well now I want an old ugly bike. Where do you park yours? 😉

I moved my personal email domain to fastmail. I've been very happy with it. I am using the Standard plan at $50 per year.

It's nice being the customer instead of the product.

They can also host static web sites for no additional cost on this plan. So I canceled my web hosting plan too.

Accomodations? (lemmy.world)
submitted 7 months ago by beirdobaggins@lemmy.world to c/adhd@lemmy.world

I've heard people talk about asking for accommodations at work for their ADHD but I have not really heard of any examples of accommodations that have been given for this reason.

If you have accommodations at work, can you share what they are and if you feel like they have been helpful?

Bad parents are a thing. Children screaming loudly in an indoor environment should be corrected.

I don't think your opinion is unpopular. There are lots of people who will agree with you that libraries should be absolutely silent.

But I don't agree. There should be space for kids to learn to love books. They might noiser that you would like, but kids who love books are a benefit to our world.

Libraries are a community meeting place, one of the last good third spaces left. If you want perfect silence go home.

Libraries are not your unpaid office space.

I just registered another domain name that doesnt support whois privacy and I would like to hide my actual details.

How have you done this? Post office box?

Remote desktop working like it does in windows.

  • easy to setup and use
  • can remote into a system that has been recently rebooted. Without needing to make the user auto login and set the keychain password to be blank.
  • resolution scales to remote client interface

I love linux and it is really all I use but RDP support is severly worse than windows.

Not sure what issues you are having. I am using the Jerboa app on android.

Multi-modal commute (lemmy.world)

I have just started bike commuting again. I drive to the train station, take my bike on the train and then have a 4 mile commute on my bike once I get off the train. It's mostly downhill on the way into work, which is nice because I don't get too sweaty, but that means it's mostly uphill on the way home.

I'd love to bike the whole way, but it is 18 miles and 36 miles in a day would be too long for me at this point.
