Imma join the disassembly gang. Takes no more than a minute to unscrew and take the top off, then you take a hammer and give it some direct hits. Could additionally take the magnet that’s inside (or an even stronger one) and give the disks a few swoops if you like. (And now you have a free magnet!)

I neglected to update for like seven “major” versions recently. I took the safe-ish route to just read every release note as I go and install the last minor version of each major version release, then start, quick check, stop, next one. It turned out fine.

edit: Backup, backup, backup. Then you can’t fail.

Penguin plus GNU OS or PenGNUin as I’ve taken to calling it.

Sonething might happen if you bring there one of each crop from a season…

As others have said, it’s some type of scale insect. A telltale sign is that they are mostly arranged on the middle line of the leaves, where, I imagine, it’s easiest to hook into the plant’s nutrients.

First thing to do is get it as far away as possible from any other plants you hold dear. Until it’s sorted out, avoid cross contamination via your hands and tools as well. After that, you’ll have to find some type of poison to kill them. Scales can be very resistant to external methods, something that is delivered via the plant’s juices that they feed on might be easiest. Or you could spend weeks diligently rubbing the leaves and stems with alcohol to rid of them, to possibly no avail.

(I am not very fond of scales.)

Aren’t you basically just describing FOSS and framing it as a complaint? Valve for example has a vested interest in improving their software stack, and they do just that by donating both money and engineers to various projects. If these open source projects did not exist, they would have to spend the same or even more money on a proprietary licensed alternative, or to develop their own solution.

not sure if arguing against tldr, or just trying to defuse a bomb

If you want to mess with the command line, I recommend tldr. Anyone could do xkcd’s tar challenge if they can run tldr tar first! (pretty sure it’s in mint’s apt repos)

Come to think of it, I’m pretty sure I’ve never actually used caps lock on PC to write in all caps…

There is a specialized player for that. Just run this command:

cat podcast.ogg >> /dev/null

Gets rid of all the uninteresting parts of any podcast!

I use tineye. Much better than google’s IME. It’s supposed to be privacy respecting, but I haven’t looked into it too hard.

In this case the distro doesn’t matter. Just have someone else install and maintain it for you.

You can get all the IDs using yt-dlp

yt-dlp --flat-playlist --print id <playlist>

Assuming you’re on linux, you can add >> ids_all.txt at the end to save the list to a file.

You can also add

--compat-options no-youtube-unavailable-videos

to get only the list of available videos instead and then, again assuming you’re on linux, do

diff ids_all.txt ids_available.txt

to get the odd ones out. That’s the simplest I could come up with. You’ll have to hope you can use the wayback machine, or a good old exact search to turn up what video that ID actually referred to

Just got to that one recently. Painful episode. Not even Bowie could save it by the end.

Will you marry me?
