  • My desktop has been Debian testing since Jessie. I was inconvenienced a total of 2 times where something broke and made an app unuseable. My KDE menu was fixed within a day and my torrenting app took longer to fix, but I was able to apply a one line fix in the meantime with help from our awesome community.

    I know it’s named “testing”, but I’d bet it would be very stable for most people’s use cases and trade off is absolutely worth it if people would give it a try.







  • In one case, it was under warranty but heavily disputed and it took a lot of posturing to get the work done.

    In the other case, insurance took care of it, but flooring that would have been covered by insurance would not match the rest of the area, so the owners decided to renovate a lot more than they wanted to.

    To me, the pain of having to live through the repairs/renovations is enough to make me vigilant of water leak issues.


  • Water sensor alarms.

    If you have any doubts about the pipes in your house or have a feeling that water might enter your basement, sensors will help you sleep at night.

    Water damage to your home is no joke. I know two separate homeowners who have had leaks from their refrigerator’s plumbing (water and ice dispenser). The damage for each homeowner was quite extensive given how small the leak was.

    When I was younger, I quit Bioshock when I ran into a Big Daddy that I just could not kill. The difficulty was on normal and I refused to change it to easy out of stubbornness. In retrospect, I think I missed a very cool gaming experience because of that.

    I’m just now playing Prey (2017) on story mode, not respecting any of the enemies at all, and still having a really good time. On the flip side, if Elden Ring had the ability to adjust difficulty level, I think it would ruin the game.


  • I have watched a few of your other videos, but this one “just clicks” with my brain the most. Thank you for explaining to me what I was doing wrong!

    Do you have any concerns about the amount of smoke that comes from soldering? Do you have a ventilation system that’s out of frame? I don’t solder often, so I rigged myself a maneuverable 80mm fan and taped some activated charcoal filter onto it. I’m not sure if it actually helps, but I feel better having it on.
