    Prior to the website rpmfind.net, installing software was to put it mildly, a chore. Due to package dependency, you’d start the compile, and it would fail due to missing libraries. You’d then go out and find those libraries, only to have them fail on compile…due to missing libraries…it would go on like until you finally were able to compile the original package - at this point though you compiled it out of sheer spite for the universe that put you in that position.

    I rate the experience a solid 5/7












  • It’s hilarious that people think I’m some kind of problem solver for all of their random issues they send over. I’ve even told them when they send me their errors - I literally copy and paste it into google (and now bing b/c google is becoming cluttered with garbage). Some of them just can’t wrap their head around just googling the error code or error string.

    Maybe the one thing we can do is filter out the irrelevant answers, and choose the correct/closest solution, that way they don’t have to wade into the mess



  • I’ve got a plastic version, but if I need to shred a block it hurts my hands after a while, because of how light it is.

    I bought one of these to solve that problem (this also has a finer cylinder for a thinner grate):

    If I ever need more than a pound, I can probably use the disc on my food processor, although the last time I tried, I didn’t freeze my cheese prior, and ended up with a lot of smeared cheese on the disc 😬
