As a long time climber, watching that documentary is really gripping/terrifying. The bit at the end when he says what it was like walking over the top; no one noticing what he had done, because he didn't have ropes and a harness etc...wow.

I remember!

My family just got a new computer; running the brand new Win95. It was so fancy, I can't remember what game it was, but I couldn't get the sound to work, so I tried reinstalling the sound drivers....

I managed to completely nuke our 2 day old PC. Had to get a friend of my stepdad to come and fix it...basically reinstall Windows. I have no idea what I did, but I did learn from that point, you can basically fix anything not hardware related given a bit of time and knowledge.

And that was my origin story, been using Linux full time since 2007, and dabbled for a few years before that.

Mistakes aren't stupid, they are human. Hell we are even making our AI in our own image now...

Was using Ligma in the 80's, glad to see it still in circulation.

Ligma balls / Ligma sweaty balls / Ligma sweaty (sports clothing you happen to be holding) e.g. Ligma sweaty socks

That is a great word

So the usage would be "I'm a bit spuddle today"? Or maybe "it's a spuddle kind of day today" or maybe "I'm just going to have to spuddle my way through this"

I have a folder called backup and one called Backup shared over SMB... It is always Backup that gets opned.

Minor issue....NFS auto mount on most of my systems.
