I saw kid rock and Metallica in concert in the twin cities about 17 years ago, burned my clutch out on the way back, car wouldn’t make it up the driveway when I got home, took 20 min to get to 45mph lol
And I literally use my computer to make me $ with Linux development, and IT consulting and game very very little, I’ve also got other PCs.
Edit downvote all you want, I’m just pointing out there’s other ways to use PCs, I’m just slightly annoyed by the stumble, it’s not like I don’t have an entire steam library that plays lol.
I’ve tried to figure some of this stuff out but I really don’t know what I’m doing. Most documentation is written with a vocabulary I don’t understand. Tutorials assume a high-level understanding of coding, software, CLI and a bunch of other stuff....
When you run into something vocabulary wise you don’t understand, Google is your friend just keep googling and reading to get the gist, Google any error messages too, I’m 43, I’ve been googling my whole life as a big fraud in IT, jk
But seriously Google Google Google has all the answers and as you use it more you hone your search skills to the point where you just scroll past the crap and wham find things right away. The more you search and work with the stuff the better you’ll get way more comfortable. Maybe try and find a local friend who’s good with computers or search that can help you a bit
I’ve helped many friends fix and troubleshoot stuff from time to time, but I’m not anyone’s full time IT, I work on retainer.
I don’t know everything but every day I learn, even stuff I’ll never have to use again.
I do IT consulting Reiners.io , if you want paid help no problem, but it does turn into a huge free time sink, with no reward.
Source: retired 15 year Linux systems engineer and sysadmin, turned consultant at reiners.io $60/hr minimum I charge clients much more, including my old boss, who’s at $110/h but I bring my laptop to Hawaii for that guy, so he pays for access to me in 80 hr blocks.
It is freaking expensive and few people will want to do it for free.
Not gonna happen, you need a vinyl printer my suggestion is buy a broken one and find the service manual and fix it. My printer is worth about $5000-$8000, I bought it for parts, $1000 and changed the parts out to make mine work 100% check out marketplace and dial that distance up, I rented a uhaul, mines huge.
I really doubt there are smaller vinyl capable printers for $500, but if you find one lemme know and I’ll buy one, I hate doing singles on my giant machine, so I usually give the purchaser a 24/42/60 inch line of them, unless I’m running multiple jobs.
Also hp latex requires a flexi subscription, and my printer doesn’t contour cut, so you need a cutter as well, mine was about $4000, it’s a uscutter titan 3 68 inch.
If you want to do wraps I use vinyl master dsr, it’s excellent also has masking of images and other cool features.
Plus you’ll need adobe or some other editing software.
Honestly, the only reason I purchased the printer is because I sponsor two race cars where I was spending thousands of dollars on decals to a company here in town, I ended up purchasing a printer so that I could print decals for the guy that I sponsor and some of his friends. So far it’s worked out well, but finding people for custom decals is a chore most of the time.
I’m just kind of saying if you’re having a problem with the $500 cost, you’re going to have way bigger problems with the cost of all the software subscriptions to run the printer. Maybe some of the other solvent printers and stuff don’t require flexi and that might be best. I’m not sure. I haven’t used eco solvent or solvent printers since I did my research. Latex printers are amazing. They don’t smell it all and they’re dry immediately.
My prints can be powerwashed and usually do not require any protection at all from sun and rain, race decals I do overwrap for scratches, overwrap laminate vinyl is extremely expensive for good quality rolls and the race drivers are the only ones I do it for, and some don’t even want that for cost savings, a wreck can ruin a whole side of a car.
Rolls of material are expensive and so are inks. But it’s fun and you meet all kinds of interesting people.
Edit oops accidentally cut some text before submitting pasted in edit
Edit 2 forgot to say my printer is an older HP latex 260, also known as the HP Designer 26500. I get aftermarket inks, and print heads , you can buy lots of them on eBay, bought about 12 cartridges of most of the colors I need all genuine but expired, works perfectly for me and I’m not worried about warranty as I service it myself.

I’m planning out my next homelab when I move soon. I have the floor plans and it looks like the best place for my computer is not centrally located, so the Wi-Fi won’t be ideal. I’d like to run the cables a short distance so the router would be in a better spot....
Does Linksys still have their velop line? Back when I rented I used to use them as wireless bridges, at the time they were way faster than my Internet was… I believe they handle jussst about gig probably way more now with wifi 6 .
I’d use them to jump network segments around the house, they worked great.
Each floor had a switch wired to it with All devices from that floor.
They’d use a dedicated 5g backhaul ( extra wifi radios ) to link them together exactly like mesh networks work. Or you could plug switches or even just an Xbox into their Ethernet port and the whole network was accessable like it was wired.
I used to use the 3 wifi pack, and id put one on each floor directly above the other on each floor of my 3000 sq foot home at the time.
I’m pretty sure it was expensive, but most mesh systems will work this way, and usually the two radios do not interfere with each other so speeds were good.
I also bought actual wireless bridges, maybe tplink, and they were fine but they’d randomly crash after heavy BitTorrent use back then, velop was always solid for me, but now I use unifi dream machine se, and drill holes so I can get 10gig with my 2 gig fiber
Or even better (cheaper and easier) I’ve also run cat 6 along the outside of the houses I rented with black plenum cable, using the existing coax taca, I’d cut the coax In rooms I didn’t need, I was cable modem, streaming TV only so only needed eth where the modem was and run my Ethernet outside to different parts of the house for about 6 years zero problems, in South Dakota, USA since I my area, cable and satellite guys installed everyone’s homes that way. So I’d use their plate location and just punch it down, and add a faceplate.

He said printer though that’s what’s what threw me off. That’s a cutter. My bad I thought he was talking about a USB large format printer, I only replied because I’m looking for a slightly smaller printer for my smaller decals, and I’d be interested in a serial or USB printer.
My PC is in the basement and I’ve got USB and serial going everywhere running different cutters, 3d printers, CNC, etc upstairs and down, also in the garage. Works great.
Without a doubt it was amazing and me and my family were extremely sad, but in the end what is there to be mad about with stadia… I was part of something different, I was also a founder and played all the time. I think I owned all the games before I didn’t 😂

The apt(8) commandline is designed as an end-user tool and it may change behavior between versions. While it tries not to break backward compatibility this is not guaranteed either if a change seems beneficial for interactive use.
All features of apt(8) are available in dedicated APT tools like apt-get(8) and apt-cache(8) as well. apt(8) just changes the default value of some options (see apt.conf(5) and specifically the Binary scope). So you should prefer using these commands (potentially with some additional options enabled) in your scripts as they keep backward compatibility as much as possible
