    9. [SOLVED] Looking for help linking to a specific comment on Reddit

      Hi,

      Thanks for looking at this. There is a specific comment in a reddit conversation that I want to share in a few different places. It's important to me.

      I tried this a few years ago when I wanted to participate in r/bestof and I could not make sense of the instructions that they provided.

      I am not a technologically skilled person but I have learned a few tricks using markdown while participating here on tildes.

      Can someone please give advice and possibly help me troubleshoot ? I will be returning to my computer and hopefully trying out suggestions about four hours from the time stamp on this post.

    22. KitchenAid stand mixer meat grinder attachment

      After several bad experiences lately, I am interested in grinding meat at home. Does anyone have experience in this practice? I have a KitchenAid stand mixer and after some research, I am interested in buying the meat grinder attachment. However, there are literally dozens of weird Chinese brands on Amazon purporting to sell an identical set for much less. AliExpress is even cheaper.

      Has anyone bought and used the KitchenAid version? Has anyone tried a cheaper version?

      Thank you for your advice.

      Thank you to everybody who commented; I'm going to look for the official KitchenAid attachment at a good price.

    26. Can you help me figure out why my VM is growing?

      I have an M1 MacBook Air. I use UTM to run a Debian 11 virtual machine.

      After the initial setup, updating and upgrading, installing Firefox and a few small programs, (I almost called them apps, d'oh), the Debian.utm file size was about 6GB. Now, less than a month later, it's almost 9GB.

      The VM size increases after each use. I haven't downloaded or installed anything close to 3GB worth. I have downloaded files, then put them into the trash and emptied the trash, could the trash not be emptying properly?

      I have run ncdu, but nothing stands out. When I drill down into /usr and into each large folder, no sub folder is larger than a few 100MB. I can't see any big files lurking.

      I've googled using many search terms, but I can't get past results that are about how to increase the size of a VM that is running out of room.

      Thanks very much for reading this, any ideas?
