  • Its not you/your country. The cost of living has vastly outpaced wages almost everywhere.

    I feel bad for this generation and the struggles faced.

    There are apps like Fiver where you can connect with people (around the world) needing your skills for short stints. Maybe try that until you find something permanent.








  • My aunt used to get the jello concentrate cubes. They were like intense jelly candy.

    (For anyone who has not heard of them: they were in a box, like segmented chocolate bar. But super concentrated jello base. You would tear off 2-3 cubes and add hot water, then let it set. Or as a kid tear off a cube and munch on it.)




  • Thats fair. If you ever go back then at cli typing tracker3 will give a list of commands.

    Tracker3 status will give you what it is doing or if it is idle, and notes on files that are troublesome.

    tracker3 reset with cetain flags will purge and rebuild index.

    You can also set filetypes and folders to index, but that is probably eaaier in dconf-editor settings, under org/freedesktop/tracker/mine/files



  • Tracker should not be recrawling everything, unless you delete the index with a tracker3 reset

    Once it builds the initial index only new files or changed files should be recrawled for meta data.

    The only time I have seen Tracker use cpu was when it got hung up on a file that had special code in it that was messing with parsing the data and so it would fail and retry over and over.



  • When I was on reddit the ones spouting the most linux hate seemed to fall into two main categories.

    1. those that tried it like 15 years ago and still hold a grudge.

    2. dudes who heard people rave about linux but they themselves struggled with certain concepts when trying it out. And rather than realize they need to read instructions and learn new things, instead would rather blame linux for not working as expected.
