Comment on What is the best or recommended way to integrate my Windows 10 and Linux computers through the local network? in ~tech

Windows uses a protocal called SMB (Samba) to do this, Linux uses NFS (Network File System). Don't use NFS unless you're a linux cultist; it'll play nice with SMB.
So we have a folder on a computer being shared on the network. On all the other computers, you can now access it through a special network address. What if you want to integrate it into a computer a bit more? You can "map" or assign it to a drive letter (or different path)! For example, I map networkShare1 to D:. Now when I open D:, it looks like any other folder, but it's actually going across the network to the server.
Typically you'll choose the same drive letter or path on all the other computers so you won't drive yourself insane and can keeps things straight.

Based on Fedora, sane defaults, batteries included. To me, it feels like next-gen Linux Mint - it just works.
GNOME is too opinionated for my tastes and required a multitude of plugins for basic functionality the last time I used it, whereas KDE is flexible and can be molded to many different workflows without needing extensions or plugins.
The one major extension I absolutely do use is Karousel, which enables PaperWM-style tiling while not being too overbearing or losing any floating functionality.

Anything on my person or in my bag when I get home goes straight through the scanner and into the shred pile.
I casually review the database every month and shred once I know important documents have successfully imported. I tried to use the phone apps for a while but it was always difficult getting a clean shot without distortion or shadows.

Relevant post that summarizes my feelings, although from a different context:
The problem is, this brings us to only one possible conclusion: Kagi should use only its own scraper or a bunch of minor scrapers, destroying the quality and with it, the chance of ever succeeding. Strategically, it means allowing Google to keep dominating the market, which is also a reactionary position which will keep the status quo.

I've always been a bit chubby, stopped playing sports before high school, never had a workout regime, etc etc. So recently I picked up a 15lb kettlebell and that tongue in cheek comrade training book. Really looking forward to getting starting and forming a routine.

Not to whack the hornet nest, but isn't this one of the few selling points of NFTs that actually makes any sense? DRM locking digital goods and allowing transfer of ownership or usage by digital certificates to other people in many secondhand markets? It makes a lot of sense to me, but to be honest I haven't put the time into understanding much about crypto and how all that works.
