  • For project ideas, I think most of us start with a problem and learn how to solve it. But without some foundational knowledge, you may struggle to even realize what’s a solvable problem.

    You should maybe start with something like Linus Tech Tips “techquickie” content. Look at tutorials for home servers and home labs.

    Or just spin around with your eyes closed, and point at a random tech object in your home, then start searching for info on how that works. How you can customize it, fix it, break it, make your own.

    Not sure how else to help you jumpstart what many of us have just been naturally doing our whole lives. Like… be curious. That’s the key actually. Curiosity.









  • With firefox, you cannot simply drag a tab out of the window, and place it using your window tiling manager. You must first drag it out, drop it, then mouse back up to the top of the window (because it doesn’t drop where your mouse is) grab the new window and drag it to the new location you want it.

    This is because dragging out doesn’t seamlessly create a new window, like is done in chromium browsers.

    I know it seems like a tiny issue, but I keep expecting this application to work that way and it’s irritating when my tech doesn’t work the way I want it to.



  • I’ve not gotten attacked, I play online multiplayer games and Linux just isn’t an option for my favorite games.

    Granted I do want to eventually set up a dual boot setup, but rn my personal computers are either windows or macOS. I’ve talked w people about Linux, and we just agreed it can’t do everything yet.

    On Mastodon, I hardly see anything about Linux, but I’ve been curating my feed, subscribing to hashtags and then seeing people pop up saying interesting things, then I check out their feed and maybe follow them. It takes more work than Twitter, but your feed is exactly what you make of it.
