(Part 2) Best products from r/Omaha

I've got about 17 years' worth of experience as a Linux systems admin. A lot of the newer distros are pretty end-user friendly, but if you want to get a good reference to what's under the hood, grab Sobell's book, A Practical Guide to Linux Yes, that book was published in 1997, but its foundation is still rock-solid.

There's no "easy" way to learn Linux. The fun part is being able to fix what's broken. Or break what works... Get your hands dirty and go for it. Try "live CDs" and play around.

Manzanas con Monzanas? :) would be a lot of fun. We could play at legends coffee.

I'd be slightly cautious giving strangers from the internet full access to your home. I could tell you I or many other strangers would be happy to help someone out in need but it's hard to filter out the potential a-holes. If you have someone do it for you make sure you have their ID information and maybe some references.

This place is fairly close to where you live and runs about $13.75+ per day. There are probably also some competing services if you shop around.

Also, depending on exactly how long you'll be gone you can look into an automatic cat feeder, I have one myself that feeds my cat exact amounts twice a day as well as a long lasting water supply. The only thing to be cautions of is depending on how long you'll be gone your cat may have some anxiety about the lack of interaction. When I was out of the country for about 3 weeks I had a friend of mine swing in as often as he could to maintain a presence which made a big difference.

I highly recommend the AUKEY DR02 D https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075S7W6FR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_V8h1BbPT7YQCX
It has front and rear, and is reasonably priced. Great quality as well.

In an ideal world, yes. But most people will either use bags they have from the store or the cheap ones from the local pet store or Amazon. Neither are biodegradable. Environment friendly dog waste bags cost more. These ones on Amazon are $14 for 900 cheap bags or $26 for 900 of the biodegradable ones.

Questions:
1) Why isn't my city on here?
Let me know your city and I'll put it on here!

2) Why didn't you include landmark?**
I can only use images that are open source or I have been authorized to use - if you have a great picture that you'd like to donate to the cause or get royalties on - send me a PM!

I use one of these for my old systems on my new TV.
Just a thought if you wanted to forgo the old TV. Then again some people like the retro on the old TVs!

Works great!

Well, I'm not positive it's the right one, but here is a screen that's likely for that laptop and it costs $40. I bet it's easy to replace as well.

Not to be a jerk, but Amazon is likely your best bet. I never see iron patches except for one or two here and there and they are nothing exciting.

May I recommend this dinosaur or perhaps a totally fly unicorn.

Reclining loveseat for sale, this exact one. Good condition, slight divot on one of the armrests. Pic here. $200 OBO, you come pick it up, located near 78th and Dodge. Breaks down into 4 pieces for relatively easy moving.

Power ranger stuff SOLD

Yamaha PSR-18 Keyboard w/ stand, case/ and AC adapter - SOLD

I have a 6121 and it works perfectly. I also want to confirm the thing about getting Ultimate speeds with the Premier plan. I'm getting speeds of 70-100Mbps on the Premier plan with that modem. It rocks. Bought the modem on Amazon for about $90.

I'm happy with the A119 because it has GPS, no WiFi (I consider that a plus), and it has a capacitor instead of a lithium-ion battery for better handling in the Nebraska cold/heat.

worked pretty well.

I really like mine. worth the price if you've got Prime, and comes with some cord holders so I can relatively-discreetly run the power cord around to the cigarette lighter.

I've been using similar recepies to DIY soylent for years.

This one is pretty similar to what I use. I just use normal protein though. I also don't use a multivitamin, and use a scoop of this: https://www.amazon.com/Amazing-Grass-Green-Superfood-Antioxidant/dp/B004TJD758?ref_=ast_sto_dp

If it's just one meal, you got to divide my thirds obviously. I make batches of 5 and use them for breakfast in the morning with a half cup of frozen fruit.

You can save an awful lot of money by not paying for your ISP to set up your Wifi. Buy your own Wifi router, configure it yourself, and only pay for Cox's internet.

Get your own Modem if you can, too.

For the modem, you might want to get something like this if you're paying for less than 300Mbp/s (and there is ZERO point in paying for more if you're only connecting wirelessly) or this if you're paying for gigabit and have hardwired ethernet devices.

For the router, if you're living in an apartment or small house where you only need one Wifi access point, something like this should work great, since it has an easy setup app available. If you're in a bigger space (e.g. multi-story or 3+ bedroom house), you might consider this or this, since both are designed for easy setup.

If you go with the 300Mbps plan from Cox, at $80 a month, even with the big space and $300 Mesh Wifi routers, you'd be saving money after six months. It's even faster if you only need a smaller space or are willing to drop to a slower internet speed (I seriously doubt you'll notice anything faster than 100Mbps, which is $60/mo, and if it's just 1-2 and you don't watch Netflix at 4k, even 30Mbps at $40/mo is likely sufficient). Likely, you'll still have to call Cox and complain to them every 12 months or so to get the "promotional" pricing... threaten to quit every time they try to raise your prices and the like.

Setting it all up will involve telling Cox you're putting in the new equipment, and returning the old equipment. I suggest doing this all in-store. If you call, they're likely to insist on a "professional installation" which gets crazy expensive, especially since they don't really need to go to your place to do anything... they just need to flip a switch on their backend (in the Cox offices) to accept the MAC address of your new modem instead of the old one... and if you already own your own modem, they don't even need to do that much (since you wouldn't need to switch it out).

Setting up your own Wifi isn't complicated. Plenty of tutorials all over Google if you need them. Cox charging to install wifi and modems is a scam based entirely on people not realizing how easy it can be.

(Now, a Lady like me could do it cheaper / better than what I suggest here, but it would require a bit more expertise)
