A scorpion. It stung me between my toes and it was not a big one but hurt pretty bad. I went to the emergency and what scared me more than the sting was the nurse's insisting on injecting the antidote right where the little guy had u stung. The pain subsided in an hour or so but it felt like I had a bad case of pins and needles on that for for the next few days, incessantly.

Did you know there is an extended version of it that exists too. First time I read about it, they talked about how the abridged, director's cut was much better. After watching it a few times, i gave in and watched the extended version and liked it as much too.

If you want to add non English movies to the list, then I have two to suggest:

  • Children of Heaven
  • Cinema Paradiso

I do this with AAs. Basically put the side with the bump (positive) on the tip of the tongue and touch the flat (negative) side with a wet finger. It gives out a mild but distinctive 'taste', not enough to tingle but definitely something I am able to notice, when the cell has decent juice.

You can't just say that and not post your version.

Someone had to do it, so here it is, copied from that place that we have now left:

One morning to spice things up, teacher decided to have a classroom drawing project. One person would start, then the next student would add to the drawing. She asked the students who wanted to start first, so little Johnny raised his hand. Knowing little Johnny had a disturbed mind, she decided to pick Suzie first.

["I drew a box on the ground!"] (https://i.imgur.com/PicyJVo.jpeg) Proclaimed little Suzie.

The teacher said it was a great start, and asked the next student to add on. Ignoring little Johnny teacher chose Billy.

"I turned the box into a house!"

The teacher thought it was wonderful, and went on to Timmy.

"I added the sun to shine down onto the house!"

"Excellent" replied teacher. Still ignoring Johnny the teacher chose Jenny next.

"I added some snow on the roof because it's been such a snowy winter!"

By this point like Johnny could barely control himself. Teacher thought there was no way Johnny could ever turn this into a dirty picture, so he allowed him up to the chalk board.

"This is my dad bending over in the shower to pick up the soap!"

Yes, i think squid proxy would do the trick too. It even has installers for windows.

Thank you! This is what I was looking for.

This looks like a great collection of things that are exactly what I'm looking for and I'm surprised I never saw this mentioned when I was looking for things.

Just a question. It says it's built around KDE. Will it work right on vanilla Debian without jumping through many hoops? I can get around quite well in the Linux world but some things still make me stumble.

I've heard only good things about world building games like Minecraft but I personally never could really get into it. Maybe I'll give it another shot. Thanks!

I guess this is going to need the use of a mouse and so not suitable for the TV setup. But my child likes paint programmes so I'll figure out the best way to let them explore this without messing with my laptop. Thanks!

Looks interesting indeed. Thanks!

 

They have an Android tablet of their own that I've configuredb strictly for child use and it has helped them learn many things easily using apps such as Khan Academy Kids and Duolingo Kids. There is precious little beyond that that is not not infested with ads or needs subscriptions that are bound to cost a lot in the long run.

I have an old machine with Debian connected to my TV that I can also attach a PS3 controller to, if needed. What software can I explore in the Debian world that can help my child continue her learning journey. I'm open to suggestions not just for learning tools, but also for games that might help.

PS: they get plenty of outside time too, so that's not a worry. I just want them to explore things and discover things they might like. I'm amazed by their ability of assimilate stuff so any help about diverse things like gamified music theory, art, logic will be highly appreciated.

Cheers!

 

I just watched Apollo 10 1/2, a Jack Black narrated story of how it was like living as a child, in Houston when the moon mission was in full swing.

I found it intriguing and set me thinking: most movies exaggerate/glamorise things around their stories. Maybe they have to, to make the movies interesting.

But what are some movies that, kind of, provide a, kind of, window peep into a place/time. An 'authentic' representation of it, as close to how you saw/experienced it? Maybe you could expand it to include the travel documentaries/vlogs too because I find that most of them choose only the highlights of a place and look away from the mundane.

Cheers!

 

I have self hosted immich on Debian on my homelab. I have also setup tailscale to be able to access it outside my home.

Sometime ago, I was able to purchase a domain of my choice from GoDaddy. While I am used to hosting stuff on Linux, I've never exposed it for access publicly. I want to do that now.

Is it something I can do within tailscale or do I need to setup something like cloudflare? What should I be searching for to learn and implement? What precautions to take? I would like to keep the tailscale thing too.

PS: I would like to host immich as a subdomain like photos.mydomain.com.

Thanks!

 

I have set up a refurbished PC as a media PC with storage. The OS, Debian, is on an m.2 nvme disk of 256 GB. I have connected 2x4TB risks in zfs mirror mode to store my media.

Off late, while booting, I've noticed some messages that suggest that the health of nvme disk is not good. Searching the error, i realised that I should not rely on it. I've done a number of tweaks to set up my system the way I like that I want to save by creating an image of the OS drive on a fresh nvme disk of same size that I have.

How do I go about doing it? I could boot using a live USB and create the image on the HDDs but the live USB OS won't recognise my zfs, right? Is using another external disk or another PC my only option here?

Thanks and cheers!

PS: The machine is a HP Elitedesk 800 G3 that has a wifi port that I've heard can be used as additional port for m.2 drives. Is it true?
