    Lots of signs in my area for candidates on both parties.

    Slightly less "Harris" specific signs, but there's a lot of generic "Vote for Democrats... because they vote for us" type signs. That's a slightly more palatable way of saying "Vote Blue, no matter who".

    A whole lot of Trump signs, both in cities and rural areas, paired with signs for Republicans in local races.

Often a boot menu can be accessed by pressing a particular key when you power-on, which may be F12, F11, F10 or Esc. And if you can bring up such a menu, you can simply select the USB drive. Alternatively, you can enter the BIOS/UEFI, again by pressing an appropriate key, which is commonly F2, Delete or Esc. Once in the BIOS you can hopefully find a setting that will change the boot order to have USB first, so that your computer will always first try to boot from an inserted USB drive. However, to work, this may also require you to disable a feature called “Secure Boot”, which you may then have turn on again to allow Windows to boot on your PC (it depends on the version). However, once in the BIOS, there is often an “Exit” or similar menu (usually on the end on the right) that offers a “boot override” facility. And this allows you to select to boot from a USB drive without having to make any BIOS changes. So here you would select your inserted USB drive, and your computer would then happily boot from it. Sadly, UEFI/BIOS settings and USB boot configurations are just not standardized, so I cannot give you a definitive set of instructions here! But I do provide more guidance in my video on “PC BIOS Settings”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezubjTO7rRI More videos on computing and related topics can be found at: http://www.youtube.com/@ExplainingComputers Chapters: 00:00 Titles & Intro 00:42 Why switch? 01:51 Applications 04:25 Distros 05:43 Testing 14:24 Installation 17:30 Migration 19:05 Linux Success #Linux #Switch #Tutorial #Windows #explainingcomputers

    Let us know if you find a solution. Technically, it must be possible, but may be very manual.

    I am also much more interested in programs written in #go now than when we set up our self-hosted #pleroma instance, though the resource usage of Pleroma isn't too bad.

    Are you a solopreneur, creator or small business owner?

    What do you use for keeping track of income and expenses? A spreadsheet? Text files? Desktop or web software? Paid or free software?

    I guess that's what I'm checking out now.

    I see the situation with nostr as much more positive and the model and protocol to be quite functional... but I am extremely new to the concept.

    The documentation looks good to me and I like what I've seen that has been built on it, so far.

    I appreciate your perspective @dcc though, as it may be useful to temper my enthusiasm right now.

    Yeah, I can see that from a social perspective.

    Thanks for sharing your experience and perspective.

    I am quite excited about checking #nostr out right now. So we'll see if my enthusiasm is curbed or if it grows with time.

    Currently exploring #nostr

    I think I found something that I had been missing.

    Cloned a Windows installation from a SATA drive to an nVME SSD. As expected I got an error when booting from the nVME SSD "boot device not accessible".

    Here's the solution:

    Get to a menu where you can choose to boot the installation in Safe Mode (sometimes repeatedly pressing F8 or just letting the failure message take you to the menu).

    Boot to Safe Mode.

    Open a command prompt in Administrator Mode

    sc.exe config stornvme start= boot

    That command loads the nVME driver as default on the installation. Reboot.

    All should be well and the Windows installation should now be able to boot normally off the nVME SSD.

    Use money (by buying things and services) to support people you know, like and trust.

    Use cash or monero for privacy.

    If you don't like what a company is doing... don't keep buying products and services from them.

    Use your money (life force) to support what you want more of and stop the flow of resources to what you see as being harmful.

    There's no way to completely avoid being controversial. No matter what stance or public position you take, there's going to be a sizeable opposition.

    Try to figure out what you think is right and true and then attempt to be consistent with that.

    Adjust, if needed, as you find out more.

    It is true that a small, but growing, number of people are curious about #freedom, both with technology and life in general.

    Was good to see that #Linux desktop usage is now over 4% worldwide.

    Become the extremist that they think you are:

    Eat healthy food purchased with cash or trade from your neighbors.
