  • I have many gray hairs, but here’s what I know.

    • Highkey and lowkey - obvious and subtle.

    • fax is “facts” - true. Often in the sense of agreement.

    • Fuck around and find out - do something risky and reap the consequences

    • It’s giving - how it makes you feel, or what it reminds you of.

    • Cap and no cap - lying and telling the truth.

    • Big yikes - bad, especially cringey.

    • Tea - (n) gossip. (v) “spill the tea”

    • Shoutout - give credit to someone. I don’t think this one makes much sense here.

    • Yap - talk, especially too much or unnecessarily.

    • Yeet - throw, often without careful aim. (Unlike “Kobe”, which is a throw with aim)


  • I still don’t understand! I feel so dumb when it comes to docker.

    I’m writing an application in Django (a python web framework), and there are docker images for that. But somehow my code needs to get in there I guess? Or does my code go alongside the container in a predefined folder? When I’m developing and need to update the docker container over and over between changes for testing, am I crating a whole new container or updating the one I made originally?

    I don’t even get the purpose of the million images on docker hub. What’s the difference between a MySQL image and requiring MySQL in a docker compose and making my own image?

    So sorry to bother you with this but I’m thinking you might be able to help me understand. I understood packages, jails, and VMs but this is a whole other thing, lol.





  • There must be a huge variety of Indian accents given the large geographical area and bonkers number of people, but we (in America at least) only think of one stereotypical accent. I presume it annoys people to be lumped in with whichever group actually has that accent! Like Austrians probably don’t love that the only Austrian voice anybody knows is Arnold Schwarzenegger, who comes from a very rural area and has that accent, apparently.







  • New to full time Linux desktop but I’ve had my crappy website running on a Raspberry Pi for like a decade. Mostly it works just fine and I barely notice it’s not Windows. I am trying hard not to pop into the Konsole every time because I know I’ll end up with a system so altered that I could never get it back the way it was.

    Everybody talks about Wayland, but when I switch on the Debian login screen it just loops back to the login after logging in. I’m sure it’s fixable but why do I need to? Everything seems to work fine on X11.

    Separately (I assume), it sometimes scrolls through the shutdown log and then just… Doesn’t. Quick search suggests I need a little script to disconnect some devices when shutting down. I’ll get to it eventually.

    I also ended up with two copies of discord in my application menu somehow but only one in the installed apps menu. I’m guessing one is a flatpack or appimage or something. I might just remove everything related to discord and start over.

    When I partitioned originally, I followed advice saying 30gb was enough for / since I have a separate /home , but a couple months in and it’s complaining it’s full. Oh well. Had to boot into a live image to resize the LVM because you can’t unmount/ of course, but still it was slightly annoying. The kde partition editor didn’t give me an error like “you need to unmount this first, idiot”, it let me enter a new size but when I hit ok it just ignored my input. It was keeping me safe, I’m sure, but an explanation message would have been nice.
