  • i started in january of this year because i upgraded my wife’s computer. that gave me an old computer to tinker with.

    i recommend getting an old computer, installing an OS (look up thinks like truenas, proxmox, unraid… there are more and they are different; try them all out if you want to see what you like)

    then go onto youtube and search for things like “<OS> beginner” and you will get a bunch of tips/tricks/tutorials/etc. for starting out with your favorite.











  • that is great! terminal use is not for everyone, so i only recommend using it if people feel comfortable with it or think it can save them time (and during troubleshooting, but im usually helping at that point).

    my wife diesnt like using the terminal and has successfully gone without using it (minus me setting things up for her in the first few months), and that has given me a lot mire confidence in recommending linux to those that just want to use a computer and want it to “just work”






  • might as well just hand it over, lol. this is my ingredient list:

    1 Cup (2 sticks) Butter
    2-1/3 Cup Flour
    1 Teaspoon Salt
    1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
    1/4 Cup Sugar
    1 Cup Brown Sugar
    2 Eggs
    2 Tablespoons Milk
    1-1/2 Teaspoons Vanilla
    1 Bag (~11-12oz) of Choco Chips (substitutable)

    edit: note: 2 eggs are for 1 whole egg + 1 egg yolk

    edit 2: my steps… might as well…

    #Melt Butter

    melt the butter and let it cool slightly

    #Mix 1

    Mix together flour, salt, baking soda

    putting onto paper plate after mixing works well here…

    #Mix 2

    In mixer, add butter, sugar, & brown sugar, and beat for 2 minutes

    #Mix 3

    Mix together 1 egg, 1 egg yolk, milk, vanilla

    #Mix 3 & 2

    Mix 3 into mix 2 on slow/stir

    #Mix Plate

    Slowly pour Mix 1 into main mix, make sure it fully mixes

    #Add Chips

    Pour in your chocolate (or whatever type) chips; mix on slow/stir until combined, then turn off.

    #Chill

    Chill in the fridge for 1 hr

    #Prep & Bake

    Split into 24 cookies. Use parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes at 375F.
