  • I started with Bazzite recently after getting a recommendation to go with a SilverBlue derived distro, and other than trying to figure out my own issues, it’s been pretty smooth.

    I do have a weird issue that crops up after reboot where the display environment variable isn’t exported or something. But considering I also had an issue with my steam library not loading that was user error, I’m not entirely sure that isn’t of my own making as well…


  • Be somewhat honest with the kid. Let him know you love chatting with him, but you’re over sensory (or whatever your particular issue is at the time) at the moment and you can’t give him the attention he deserves right now, but you’d love to hear about it later.

    Kids are smarter and notice more than you think. Being honest and open about your issues is healthy for both of you, and helps show the kid it’s ok to not be in the mood to talk to someone and a kind/polite way to disengage.







  • Since they handle redundancy and backups I think it’s fine staying with them (+ great product)

    This. I love self hosting services, but anything that I 100% can’t live without isn’t one of them. Because I don’t have the funds for proper redundancy/high availability, and my backup practices at home are… Not ideal. I’ve had a couple brushes with data loss due to gaps in backups, lack of monitoring for impending hardware failures, and had 2 disks suddenly die together in a raid array, all in over a decade of self hosting.

    I have cold backups of most of my critical services, but they’re not nearly regular enough for me to trust my passwords to myself.
