Cough Oh yeah, that’s the stuff

I’ll add these authors to my reading list. Thanks for the recommendations!

Big words from the walking dumpster full of nasty wastes of perfectly good eggs!

Oh hell yeah we are! Did she get those sick tortilla bowls again?

Says a delived egg loving beast!

But I respect your desire to eat the filthy fuckers. As long as it’s in private, preferably in the closet of shame.

I’d go so far as to say I think it’s weird when people eat any amount of deviled eggs.

Opens beer sounds right.

Why not just block the pervasive communities or instances? I get pretty annoyed with the AI content too, but it feels so much easier/satisfying to block the comms and know I’ll never see them again lol

Terminus is nice and has a lot of platform options. Ive used on an old ipad in the past. If you have several machines, I highly recommend servercat. Works wonderfully on iphone, ipad, and Mac. It also has options to write and store commands to easily send out to any number of devices with a taps/clicks.

As said in another comment a bare metal Debian install likely wouldn’t be very smooth, or you’d have to run it within Android. Alternatively, if you want to run Linux directly on the phone you could try postmarketOS https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/OnePlus_5T_(oneplus-dumpling)

I can’t help as much with the exposing outward (I’m a basic bitch and just use ddns to expose mine since I can’t get a dedicated IP) but a separate vlan with rules to allow your primary vlan devices to see/talk to it, and block it to be able to see out of it’s own VLAN, would definitely be recommended.

I think I just needed to reset it, I recall accidentally hitting No on the prompt after setting the PIN initially and not having a way to go back and choose Yes to unlock with the PIN. Reset the PIN and got to say Yes on that prompt this time

I forgot about the pin. Mine almost never asks me for mine, it always wants the master password when auto filling, but that’s likely bc of something in my settings.

I’ve had good luck getting people into using bitwarden and appreciating it. Def recommend trying to get her on it, as long as she can remember her master password to access the rest

Rpi 3B+ (not 3B, no wifi on that one) or the Pine quartz64 B should work. Both have Arch Linux for Arm support, wifi, and a 3.5mm audio jack

If you’d legitimately like to understand, you should research things like clinical depression and anxiety disorders. Not everyone has a “normal” brain chemistry. If you genuinely want to understand, try to step outside of your perspective when doing so and try to put yourself in the shoes of someone afflicted with any of these conditions as you look into them.

These disorders can literally prevent someone from seeing many, if not all positive aspects in their life. Everything is quickly or immediately painted in a troubling or worrisome manner. It’s a fucking hellscape to trudge through on a day to day basis and there’s no magical fix for any of it. There are things that can help mitigate and cope but there’s nothing that purely removes these afflictions. A big one is empathy from people who care about that person and genuinely want them to know they do care about how that person feels.

Asking someone with one of these afflictions why they can’t “just be happy” is not unlike asking a quadriplegic why they can’t go for a swim.

I know I didn’t wish to go through every day hating the world, myself, and feeling anxious about every unknown. I want to feel free to feel unabashedly comfortable in my own skin and enjoy every moment of my waking life, but my brain is literally not wired to be able to do that with any reliable consistency. The best I, and many others, can do is just try to temper and negate those invasive thoughts and emotions as best we can when we can. How often that can happen is dependent on several factors and is not the same for everyone. I may be able to cope with X when someone else can’t, and not be able cope with Y while another person can.

Your friends may very well be going through similar things, and I know you didn’t say you do, but if you are confronting them with your lack of understanding and questions like “why can’t you just be happy/enjoy life?” you could be amplifying their pain and further alienating them when they likely already wake up feeling that way without any outside provocation.
