No, haven’t had time to trouble shoot much unfortunately. If they need a scan they just use their phones at the moment which works fine, but I still have to investigate further.

There are more trees on earth by far than there are stars in the galaxy.

Sorry, but BOTH forks!?

How did you not notice the first one falling off?

I was unaware this feature existed, how do you set this?

Oh neat!

My script is for gnome, but I wonder if there us an equivalent gnome extension in existence as well.

Aaaaaaaand it’s deleted.

Burned my accounts, moved to Tuta.

I like this one.

I have a hard time with this and I also sleep with exceptionally good ear plugs.

My solution was to purchase an alarm clock made for people hard of hearing.

It has a mattress shaker in addition to a super loud alarm, either can be toggled. I typically use the mattress shaker. The first time I used it I sprung out of bed in a panic because I thought that the building was collapsing, so I can verify they are very effective.

Things you can do to prevent yourself from returning to sleep after disabling the alarm include putting your alarm at the foot of the bed instead of to the side of the bed (This way, you have to physically get up to go turn it off), and insuring it is warm in the room when you get up (If it is cold, you will instinctively want to go back underneath the covers). A space heater on a timer set to begin 15 minutes before your alarm goes off helps with this.

Another reason people don’t want to get up is because they have performed no real preparation for waking up. By this I mean to have your coffee machine timed to preheat just before you get up, set up your breakfast the night before so that it is easy to make and consume in the morning, have the clothes you intend to wear laid out so that its easy to get dressed, etc.

In short, it is generally good to make it difficult to keep sleeping, but also easier to wake up.

I have a terrible problem in my apartment with noise through the ceiling. I am curious what this is that you have installed as I havent seen any good options such as this. Can you take a picture of this or something? I would love to explore options to get rid of the noise.

Which WM?

I am new to themes with gnome and am interested in learning about it in that capacity if you should have any resource material saved!

There is a toggle for SFW/Sketchy which in my experience has worked pretty well in avoiding such things, but you are probably right it does not catch everything.

If such a thing happened, I would just re-run the same command to update to a different one though. I guess I generally just make sure no one is in the room when it runs haha.

I am indecisive when it comes to wallpapers so I have a script somewhere which accepts tag-words as arguments and then scrapes wallhaven.cc for those words at the resolution of my setup and picks one that contains those words at random before downloading it to my wallpapers folder and setting it as my wallpaper image.

So for example, you could just know you want something blue so you would run wallpaper blue and it just grabs one and sets it. You could get a wallpaper of the sky, of a blue car, of the ocean, whatever happens to be a wallpaper that met the criteria of the word/s supplied.

On this day 16 years ago some girl learned that you have to actually think about what you buy before actually buying the thing to make sure it does the thing you want it to do.

This girl decided to buy something listed as a “computer” and it is her own fault for not bothering to look into what her money was going towards beyond that.

This is like if I were looking for a new jacket, bought the first thing I saw with “jacket” in the name, and then was pissed off at the jacket because I couldn’t use my arms when I wore it because its a straitjacket, not at all intended for the purpose I wanted a jacket for.

No worries, I appreciate it :)

So it looks like the brother driver utility installed both brlaser and brscan3, however it still wont detect unfortunately. Thanks for the welcome though!

Thank you! I checked and It does have both brscan3 (skips brscan as brscan3 is considered the newer version) as well as brlaser, but still no luck unfortunately.

Thank you, they both like it already and my Father has said that he thinks it is much easier to find what he is looking for so I think it was a big success :)

Nice! Yea a disk from 2013 would not only have been hanging on by a thread but I also guarantee it had never been defragged haha.

Best of luck to you in resolving!

My move for my parents to Mint went very well thankfully. Brother even supplies Linux drivers for their printers as a I found out and printing works great, but even after installing their scanner driver for the model, I can’t seem to get any scanning softwares to detect it so I’ll have to look into that part further.

Otherwise everything else runs super smooth. Now I have to deal with my system!
