I too started with Linux at 14. I just got my first computer, an old laptop with Windows. It was too slow and I couldn’t even figure out anything in settings. (Windows 10 and its Settings + reduced Control Panel).

I at first tried to find “Linux”. I had little idea about it, but I thought Linux must be it, and these others were just modifications, so I kept trying to find “pure Linux”. Eventually figured out the distributions thing and decided on Mint (MATE).
I dug through all old movies just to find a rarity. One single movie burned to DVD-RW, perfect! (First computer, why would I have a USB drive?)

In the end I was using Windows for whopping 2 days.

And since I finally had a proper computer, it only took a few months and my phone was running a custom ROM (PixelExperience).

What did your parents do?

Dunno, but these are just cheap paper stickers, although outdoor ones wouldn’t be much more expensive, I wanted to go the cheapest to see what I’ll get.

Local print shop. Here I chose A3 page “indoor matte” for €3.57. What I decide to do with that is on me. I put 88 Fediverse stickers on it, but if I wanted, it could have simply been 1 huge sticker.
“Outdoor matte” SRA3 (slightly larger than A3) would have been €5.29.

But processing is fully on you. You need to give them the printing template and cut templates. You also need to be careful about tolerances and spacings. Cutting tolerance is +/- 1.5mm, kiss-cut stickers need to have 5mm of spacing, die-cut 2-3cm, and they cost additional €1. Kiss-cut is thus most economical, and the result sticker is the same, you just get a large sheet rather than separate stickers, but you can just use scissors obviously.

I had to figure out how to do that in Inkscape.
Result:

I could have perhaps shifted them to fit a few more, but anyway.

I am from Europe. About the dates, for me it depends.
In personal things, I generally use the American date format because I got used to it. And when going through a list of things month first is often nicer to look at.

When giving something to someone else, I use date compatible with RFC3339 and ISO8601 standards (YYYY-MM-DD).
Quick comparison between the two: https://ijmacd.github.io/rfc3339-iso8601/

But people have questioned me about both, since DD. MM. [YY]YY is basically the only format used in my country, but I don’t like it.

Speeding, texting while driving, calling while driving, overtaking cars when there is a solid line, overtaking when you can’t fuckin see what’s in front (e.g.: overtaking a semi in right curve), overtaking while going like 2 km/h faster, going fast (even if within limit) when there is a fog and road signs warn about animals frequently crossing the road, unnecessarily loud music, strongly-heated car.

Those are yucky comments anywhere other than an lemmynsfw community or a community with a suggestive name.

Or RoastMe if Lemmy has such community, but basically all such communities require you hold up a sign with your username to prove it is actually yourself (good).

Oh shit, I’ve seen this (yours) post a few hours ago, but just now I noticed that’s Lemmy…
I thought that was from Reddit at first.

Yup, just web UI. Always web UI if possible, no matter what it is. Although for shopping I prefer to use a laptop if I am going to pay online as well.

What do you use?

It’s 2025 already?

Shit, I overslept again.

Forcing it into recovery -> Power Off -> Booting up normally again

This freed up 8MB from somewhere, otherwise, I guess I’d have to do a hard reset.

Yup.

Just in case: If your storage is completely full all of a sudden, check /var/log/nginx if you haven’t pointed the logs elsewhere.

I know I was pretty confused to find my storage absolutely full, then I found the multi-GB error.log file. When a network interface it was listening on disappeared it filled with errors as such:

2024/12/10 07:57:06 [alert] 20420#20420: accept4() failed (22: Invalid argument)
2024/12/10 07:57:06 [alert] 20420#20420: accept4() failed (22: Invalid argument)
2024/12/10 07:57:06 [alert] 20420#20420: accept4() failed (22: Invalid argument)
2024/12/10 07:57:06 [alert] 20420#20420: accept4() failed (22: Invalid argument)
2024/12/10 07:57:06 [alert] 20420#20420: accept4() failed (22: Invalid argument)
2024/12/10 07:57:06 [alert] 20420#20420: accept4() failed (22: Invalid argument)

(I just reproduced that now on-demand, thus the date.)

There’s a tool called logrotate to take care of logs, but I just did the stupid and lazy thing…

error_log /dev/null;

Well, in case you get the idea to run NGINX in Termux, and then later you find your phone hot, stuck in a bootloop, it’s possible the error.log filled the storage causing Android to crash because it now can’t even write system files.
Not that I would have done such thing…

Are you referring to the 2FA problem I had? I brute-forced it with a simple Bash script utilizing Lemmy API. Our instance doesn’t seem to have rate-limiting.

He also had a three-page handwritten manifesto that included grievances with the US healthcare system, a document that spoke to the suspect’s “motivation and mindset”, officials said.

Publish it then.

The free tier is well enough for a single person, not much of a gift.

I’d personally go with a physical Mullvad voucher. Nicer than digital.

Yup. 45.33.107.166 works.

This list is incomplete

He shared a similar image himself, very much yes. https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1865304483070169440
