As a student, most things are more interesting than studying.

Why is there a Gemini logo?

Unfortunately, this global version of panic stick is really lacking. The US market version is really just a rebranded shotgun, which is far more effective. Even the EU version is a bit better, it has a grippy rubber handle and comes with a 2 year warranty.

Is that what was wrong here?

From a deal on racknerdtracker.com (so RackNerd as the name suggests).
But their panel is a bit limited. If you want a custom OS that isn’t provided, you have to open a ticket with them to get an ISO mounted. You can also boot into recovery environment, but that is outdated minimal installation of Debian 9 without working APT. I was still able to use it to install Arch Linux from bootstrap image though. I just had to decompress it on my PC, create a temporary partition for it and scp it over.

And I am again mentioning Arch. It comes naturally.

https://racknerdtracker.com/ keeps all the deals that don’t expire.

Not at all. And that’s without whois privacy.
.com .net .org .us .me are $24.95/year
.meme is $24.99/year
.io is whopping $69.00/year

Also a little fun thing about Navidrome, when checking the community packages entry: https://www.navidrome.org/docs/installation/packages/
There’s a package for Termux, which is a terminal emulator for Android. Navidrome is in its official repo.

So it’s pretty simple to run Navidrome directly on a phone too. I’ve been doing that for a while now. Also, Navidrome now finally has CLI user management.

Not relevant, you can stop reading here.
When I forgot my admin password in the past and I didn’t want to reset everything, I had to do a weird thing. I utilized the External Authentication (formerly called Reverse Proxy Authentication) to login into the admin account. I did so with proxy_set_header Remote-User "admin" in NGINX config (yes, still on a phone, in Termux) to get automatically logged in. But even then, I couldn’t change admin password without the old password… but I could change regular users’ and also create another admin account. So I did, removed the proxy auth, logged into admin2, changed admin to regular user, set the password, changed it back to admin and then from it deleted admin2.

I tried that once, basically just Google worked.

404; Not Found

Is there supposed to be something?

I didn’t have that, but I use Firefox Nightly.
And I also just found I can no-problem go to https://revoked.grc.com/ 😬
So it doesn’t even check for revoked certificates (but at least Fennec does).

Firefox on Android doesn’t even have the “ignore” option :(

It works fine with a mouse. I often use my 2-in-1 as a tablet. Instead of scrolling, it just does text selection, and neither does pinch to zoom work. After all, it’s just controlling a mouse pointer under X11.

The default should not be assumed.

It should. Typically it would be a choice between Mullvad DNS and the unencrypted whatever your ISP uses. People who care about DNS (like me) will change that right away (NextDNS in my case). People who just want something easy may not even know what DNS is, or may not care enough.

Doesn’t natively work under Wayland, unfortunately.
As-is, it’s not suitable for a touchscreen device.

And with MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 the window buttons are broken.

Combine that with https://metric-time.com/

There’s one track with an interesting name, could also be a pun on fur + pursuit, but nevertheless, it’s titled “Hot Fursuit”.

First off, I live in the USA and I haven’t seen a gas station where you could pump without paying first

And I live in Slovakia and haven’t yet seen pre-paid gas station either.
You pump the gas, go in, tell the cashier the pump number, pay, go back and leave.

turn it on and off

And then forget about it, and just leave it off.
