If I understand correctly, no fix for easily setting up/connecting to RTP yet. I get that it’s probably not a very requested feature but the downgrade from pulseaudio’s GUI options to having to type long strings is a tad disappointing for me. I just hope it will be possible again some day.
Just use Slackware then.
EDIT: Just pointing out this is distro specific and not Linux specific.
Quite possible but if you look on the web, I’m not the only one that can smell cigarettes in coffee. Apparently they share some similar compounds.
I didn’t really check if those links are AI but just look for yourself if they are not satisfactory.

I can smell my neighbours coffee through the walls in the morning and I hate it. It smells like someone is smoking cigarette.
A gas station chain as a client and the type of work that came with it. I was working as a help desk tech subcontractor and already had about 20 different clients. I’ve been doing this for a decade but because the new ones always messed up their work, we had tons of reminders and automated tasks in Teams. So I was already on edge because of the constant Teams notifications and all the triple checks.
Then they introduced this new client, a gas station chain, with hundreds of locations. I already worked in gas stations when I was a teenager and hated it. I hated the constant beeping for pumps to be unlocked when someone wants to buy gas. And I certainly didn’t want to have stressed teenagers on the phone telling me it’s super important that all their pumps are working on a Sunday afternoon while my instructions were to simply convince them to wait until the next business day if all we tried didn’t work. Fuck cars. Fuck oil companies. I can usually tolerate working with Microsoft even if I hate it, but Microsoft + oil companies. Fuck no.
I still haven’t found the will to get a new job, but my bank account is now starting to push me with insistance.
Especially when I’m on a bicycle.
Like, they pass me dangerously then they get stopped at the next traffic light and I end up by their window anyway, looking at them with disappointment. Bravo, champ.
In French, il has always looked a bit weird when typed at the beginning of a sentence.

After having my bike stolen while locked on the side of a Walmart, I am more protective of the new one. I’m a bit more aware of where I lock it, but I also bought a decent U-lock instead of just a cable.
But I also stopped using my own bike if it isn’t an absolute necessity. Sometimes I need the bike for the panniers or the trailer, so I take a risk. But if possible, I’ll use a bike sharing system when I go to some sketchy places.
I even got a bike stolen in the garage of my apartment complex, so now it lives with me, in my studio.
I’m not an expert but from what I can find online, houses under 700 square foot (65 sq/m) are not covered by the local construction code so most municipalities don’t want anything smaller. It’s also forbidden to build a house with a single bedroom smaller than 320 sq/ft (30 sq/m), or a house smaller than 275 sq/ft (25 sq/m). According to old number, the average house here is about 1950 sq/ft (180 sq/m).
But ultimately it’s the municipality’s choice so it can vary depending on the region where you want to build it. I dreamed of having a small house to keep as much land as possible, but after looking into what’s possible where, it would be much simpler to just buy something already built that is grandfathered with the land.
Also depends on local law. I live alone, always wanted a mini house, but they are illegal in most municipalities here because there is a minimum size for a house. So if I really want a mini house, it has to be in a mini house approved neighbourhood, along with other mini houses. Like a mobile house park but for mini houses. They can’t be built anywhere; they have to be specifically approved.
After all, we can’t build a small house among bigger ones. Think about the neighbours’ property value!
Building a dream house also means an ungodly amount of debt for the mortgage. The matching kit is a better financial decision.
That definition made me think of samaras floating in the wind.
Microsoft. I have used Linux for more than 25 years but also worked in a helpdesk. In some jobs I’ve been able to avoid their stuff completely but most of the time I’m stuck using Windows and worst of all, Teams.
Cars. I don’t drive and won’t drive. I hate cars and hate seeing them everywhere. I moved to a city where there’s bike paths and public transit and it’s great for me but the city is still choked with noisy polluting cars. And I still need one to go back in my little shitty town that had passenger trains for a century before being cut in the 90ies. The whole society is pushing and bullying people into getting cars. You’ll love your new car! You’re not a real adult until you have a car. Get a car!

English is not my native language. I’m glad I learned it, because I just have an interest in linguistics and it’s very close to my native language, but I can clearly see how “imperialistic” this is, how my parents and friends struggle with that language, and how there could be something much easier, that would allow them to experience cultural exchanges without having to learn the “dominant” language.
Mi lernis Esperanton pli ol 20 jaroj. Ĝin estus mirinda, sed malĝoja, mi malrememoras multa, kay uzas Anglo kaj Germano pli.
Ugh. That reminds me of the Microsoft admin fanboys where I worked, dissing Linux because its all command lines, while saying that MS inventing PowerShell was a stroke of genius making their lives easier.
I’m afraid I’ve been using Linux for so long that I’m not very knowledgeable about backup software for Windows. But I’ve been using Duplicati for a single Windows computer for years, and it’s apparently also running on Linux. I never tried on Linux though, so don’t take my words for cash.
There’s also Duplicity, but it’s command line and will probably require installing the Windows Subsystem for Linux. There’s also Bacula but it’s mostly for businesses. This Wikipedia page may know more than me.
On Linux, Deja Dup acts as a graphical interface for Duplicity, is easy, and is the default for GNOME and Cinnamon. Compatible with Duplicity but as mentioned, it’s complicated for Windows.
However I think those are “too complicated” (I prefer raw files instead of archives) and for Linux I’ve been using rsync with a job scheduler (cron) for years. It’s technically not a backup solution in itself but many backup software, like those mentioned, use rsync in some form anyway. Unfortunately it does not work on Windows. My strategy is to use rsync to copy my important files to an older HDD, then the very important files are also sent on an online drive.
The TLDR would be to give Duplicati a try if you really want a backup solution that is cross platform and graphical. Otherwise, there’s nothing more certain than making copies yourself.
I guess I don’t need to remind you to be careful. Take your time. Try restoring to be sure it works. Good luck!
