For a second I wasn't sure if I had posted this and just didn't remember it

My work history is ok; I have solid interview and writing skills, which is more important to most places I think. Mostly because I apply for a lot of things I'm not really qualified for or that pay too little just for the interviews.

Late reply, but I suppose you're correct; I think the option to choose what to install, the lack of pre-created desktop stuff ("home/$username/Videos" for example) and the requirement that you handle software that isn't in the base install all make a Slackware installation less bloated than most. Maybe not at install time, but over the life of the install you end up with less garbage IMHO.

I work in IT, I make much more money than I should/need and I work from home in a pair of basketball shorts and a T-shirt while barefoot. I would just apply for everything, eventually you're gonna hit someone who isn't hung up on image, and the rest will make your interview skills just that much better.

HOW IS THIS NOT COMMON KNOWLEDGE???? I've already had my kids and got a vasectomy. It would be so good to have photos like these hanging on the walls for when my boys bring home partners.

I second Zoneminder, used it at a job way back in the day and it was solid.

I'm having good luck with wger as well. Been using it for about a year.

If you hate bloat you like Slackware. It doesn't assume anything about how you want to use your computer, so it's more painful for a lot of folks. Other distros will try to do things for you and will ultimately end up doing something someone doesn't want. With Slackware you learn a lot and you get a rock-solid system that will do whatever you like, but you have to be willing to manage it.

Not too bad from the accounts I've heard; my wife trained for this before we stopped doing body art. A lot of women get it when their hands shake too badly to apply makeup well.

 

See title; I'm considering it, but the courses bundles are expensive

 
 
 

Super stoked about using Piped. I've created an account on piped.video, found a playlist, all that; I can't figure out how to play all the items in the playlist though - I seem to only be able to play them individually. How do I play everything in a playlist without having to select them individually each time? I'm using the browser interface at the moment.

 

I've been fostering a family member for a month or so, and it all came to a head today. My wife and I tried, but the behavior was just too much for us to feel safe with our existing children. I hate that we're giving up and I hate the circumstances that caused this, but it is what it is. If you're in the same place please don't beat yourself up; sometimes you can want something really bad and it still not be right for you.
