As far as I can tell, Darjeeling and regular old Irish breakfast tea essentially taste the same. But the former is more expensive. I think I've been scammed by Big Tea.
  • IBT is on the stronger/darker side, Darjeeling is on the lighter side.

    IBT should be rich, dark, high in caffeine, with a strong flavor that doesnt get overpowered by milk, or ruined by a little oversteeping. It can still be burned if you use water that's too hot.

    Darjeeling should be amber-colored, light tasting, moderate in caffeine, and should have some floral notes. The flavors can be drowned out by milk or oversteeping in my opinion. Best black and lightly steeped in sub-boiling water.

  • I don't see the point in downvoting someone when they misunderstood something and OP clarified, but perhaps i just don't understand Lemmy.

    If anything maybe I'd upvote the reply for visibility.

    Anyway you seem nice, please don't take my comments personally. I think the groupmind that gave you a ton of upvotes and that other person a ton of downvotes just rubbed me the wrong way.

  • Windows VS Linux
  • I think the traditional way to do that is via dm-crypt, which you can set up with an ssh server.

    You can also use a network-shared file rather than a password for LUKS but it's not as straightforward to set up as a password. If you are doing something like tailscale then it'd be unlocked as long as you are on the VPN

    Typing in a password in-person at a data center would be a huge hassle, agreed

  • Windows VS Linux
  • I'm happy with regular password FDE, i think i'm more likely to encounter hardware failure (and then need to read the drive from another machine) than theft of the drive.

    It's a good point though, I'm sure many people do need this feature. Ubuntu is "working on it" but so far i guess it's mostly not working except for VMs

  • My worst one was accidentally overwriting my backup when trying to clone it.

    I was using a standalone drive cloning device and I mixed up the "source" and "target" slots. It was a 4tb drive so the operation took about 3 hours.

    At the end, i plugged in the clone to check it and saw that it was blank. I ended up having to make a new backup before i was able to try the cloning again.

    Since it was a backup, nothing of value was lost, but it sure was a waste of an afternoon

  • MINISTRY - "Sabotage Is Sex" feat. Jello Biafra (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)
  • The bandmates got a court to back their "side" twice. Tens of thousands went missing because Jello is a "bad bookkeeper". One time he stole/lost $76,000 that had been paid by their record company.

    Jello has always had a bad reputation in the Bay Area punk community, i wouldnt give his side that much credit. It's fishy stuff and his blaming everything on the Levi's ad is a cute distraction. “They're punishing me for sticking to the principles of the band" is so rich.

    Also, he still gets 100% of his royalties, far from nothing

  • Windows VS Linux
  • compared to clicking "next" on Fedora, Debian, or Mint

    I'd say using a simple straightforward GUI is much easier than an arcane combination of commands and keypresses

  • Windows VS Linux
  • There are certain parts of the guide where i really wish it went into more detail.

    Last time i installed Gentoo i had the Arch wiki open alongside the guide to help translate
