This is kinda how I’ve come to look at it. You cannot ask questions of fact to a machine that works in probabilities.

Ha, ya know? I think I know some people who will just regurgitate whatever input they receive

Mullvad let’s you write down an account number on a piece of paper and mail it in with cash and they’ll activate it.

What do you mean? If it makes you feel any better, the Earth will be fine. Has been for a couple billion years. We did this to ourselves :(

Don’t, you can still install nix into Garuda. Works great as a separate package manager that won’t get in the way.

I think the problem is that most people dive right in and go to NixOS which has its quirks as a linux OS (see FHS). The Nix language is great at building and moving source code between computers, really any big collection of binaries. If you don’t do that, try just using the nix-shell command to instantly run a piece of software without installing it. You can write a shell.nix file to hop into and out of an environment with whatever software you need. Once you can write a couple .nix files then move onto NixOS; which after all is just a big collection of binaries.

Wow, this must be the craziest case of post nut clarity in recorded history.

The name is silly but the Galaxy XCover 6 pro checks all those boxes as a new phone. It even has the old style notification light, different colors for notifications.

Servarr is a stack of applications that sets up a media suite. Radarr and Sonarr handle the managing of movies and TV shows, respectively. Prowlarr searches for the media through either Torrenting or Usenet. Then you’d need a downloader like SABnzbd or Deluge. Ombi is another application to handle requests and finally you’d need a streaming app like Plex, Emby or Jellyfin.

Think of it like a marionette; you’re making a bunch of services work together for one goal. Most people use docker and create a docker compose file to manage all the services. Typically the flow goes like this, a person makes a request to Ombi for something to watch. That request goes to Radarr or Sonarr, which creates a folder and populates the Metadata from IMDB. Then a request is sent to Prowlarr to find the media. Once found its sent to the downloader, like Deluge, to actually grab the media. After it’s done, Radarr / Sonarr will import the media into the correct folder. Now you’ve got a perfect collection for Plex / Emby / Jellyfish to start streaming your media. Really awesome suite once you get it up and running.

You use a GPG key that you then add to the yubikey. The keys can only be written or deleted off the yubikey, you can’t read the secret once written. Then you can use the GPG key to either encrypt a file or sign it. Check out Pretty Good Privacy and the GnuPrivacy Guard software for more information on how that works.

I use my yubikey to encrypt files, sign my work in Git, as well as the usual password authenticator stuff. You can still use FIDO, U2F and OTP codes while using the GPG too.

Check out this awesome guide on how to setup an airgapped computer to generate the GPG key. https://github.com/drduh/YubiKey-Guide

Emby app on Samsung works great. There’s a premium pass for unlimited clients on a server but you can pay for a lifetime pass. I consider it one of the best purchases I ever made.

What is this from?

I bet you it’s because of the intel RST settings in the UEFI. If RAID is turned on the RST driver is needed. Ive ran into this exact same issue, not being able to see my drives when installing windows. Swap over to AHCI and the windows installer should see the drives.

Note that changing that setting can cause problems for existing OS installations. Make a backup and do your research before changing that.
