If the file does not exist, it creates an empty file. That is what most people use touch for.

I think I only have three subscriptions at the moment... Prime, Chewy, and a news commentary streaming site I like. That's pretty much it, not very expensive. Everything else is available to me by other means if I'm willing to pay

I know BMW turn signals are a meme (with good reason...), but I've noticed the exact same behavioral trend with Lexus drivers as well. It's really just those two makes in particular.

The package format only really matters to packagers anymore I think. RHEL and SUSE are both RPM based though. The difference which matters to users is the package manager on top, which for RHEL is dnf (formerly yum) and on SUSE it's zy

Eight's JVM still ships with Minecraft, so that's not necessarily a bad thing. It's battle-proven.

Isn't that the reason ECC memory was created?

This is the most underrated comment in this thread. Purpose is essential in ensuring one's mental well-being. Without it, you hit burnout or depression quickly.

I'm not the person you replied to, but to answer your second question myself, yes, I do. I have four desktop PCs (one for each of my family members including myself), a netbook, and a custom built router in my house. All run Linux exce

I imagine if you had a million bucks you could set something like that up.

I work maybe two hours a day. They're very productive, but I cannot be productive constantly for more than that due to having to wait on other people in order to get stuff done, and, of course, the inevitable burnout which will occur i

Try accidentally moving /bin. A buddy at work did that not too long ago. There was panicking involved.

+1 for OPNsense if you're willing to deviate from Linux and get a great management web console. I've been running it at home for over a year without any hiccups.

I use the Play Music app to play music stored locally on my phone's SD card since the app came with the phone. Does Youtube Music also have this functionality, or is it just for their streaming service?

Since it hasn't been mentioned yet, I'll throw in Nagios. Having had to roll and maintain an in-house solution with similar functionality before, Nagios is a huge breath of fresh air. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 is also awesome. I

Desktops: OpenSUSE Leap with Plasma desktop. It just works, and the experience is pretty polished. Only issues I ever run into is having to drop to the command line occasionally for running an update. My family doesn't know much about
