Borg Backup, whenever I feel like it - usually monthly.

I use Debian with XFCE, but while I love XFCE, it might not be everyone’s thing. If you do give it a try, make sure to use Whisker Menu instead of the default app menu, and also set keyboard mappings to your liking.

P.S: Ubuntu’s pushing for Snaps, not Flatpaks. Flatpaks are actually pretty good - makes it really easy to install a newer software version when the one in Debian repos doesn’t suffice.

Also, it’s not only Ubuntu pushing for Wayland - most distros or DEs either have it working or are working towards it (there are some exceptions). XFCE is still on xorg, but working on Wayland. The problem is xorg is on life support and not getting a lot of new features.

Debian is on the right track. XFCE might work - I remember it running pretty well on a laptop with 4 gigs.

I think The Orville improves over time - I initially hated both Isaac and Gordon, but they do good things with them later.

Used to use Red Hat. This theme is for people who have nostalgia for back when Red Hat wasn’t a puppet of the blue monster - not the one that likes cookies.

Thunderbird’s not bad, but I usually use web stuff.

I have an existing iCloud e-mail that I haven’t had the time to switch off of. I then use G-Mail for school stuff - since I’ve signed away my soul to Google anyway, might as well use what they have to offer.

Maybe one day, I’ll start my own personal e-mail utopia, nut that day is not today.

According to the repair manual, my Wi-Fi card is actually replaceable, at least physically. I don’t know if Lenovo still does BIOS whitelists of cards like they used to (I think they did remove it a few years back.), but their OEM parts website has a diverse selection if this fix were ever to break.

I’d say other than the bottom being a bother to remove (and the keyboard not being designed to be replaced, though after some research, it seems possible), this is a surprisingly repairable laptop for how recent it it. It has dual SSD bays and a DIMM slot.

Well, under it, anyhow.

USS TITAN - INT - DAY RIKER and TROI are walking out of the holodeck. The final screams of Bradward Boimler stop.

RIKER (Chuckling) It's a shame that both Boimlers are dead now. I actually kind of liked those ensigns.

TROI Did you not see that extra pip in that holorecording?

Riker Ah, that's right. Proud of the guy... even though he's dead.

Riker and Troi laugh as they walk off screen.

I've often envisioned what a Lower Decks film might entail. I think one of the side plots would be Rutherford suddenly realizes he forgot his entire family existed and tries to get reacquainted with them. He quickly finds out that with his implant, he has become everything they ever wanted him to be, and that scares him as he realizes they don't accept who he used to be and don't have enough grief for the Rutherford that was.
