Okay these are 'obscure' in the fact that not a lot of people know of these particular performances or remixes/covers.

Bluegrass instrumental cover of "Taylor" by Jack Johnson that is a very beautiful version. If I ever got married, I'd probably want this to be the song playing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q23KUT6W8HA

Another amazingly beautiful song: Roads Must Roll https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7DYYQ4q4Go

This remix of "Sound of Silence" used in this emotionally powerful video for hearing impaired that I stumbled into over 10 years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bo7fAjfp098

This guitar instrumental cover of Billie Jean by Michael Jackson that this amazing kid does https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgVqX0a49HM

Throwing Fire by Ronald Jenkees You wanna get pumped listening to a guy rock out on a keyboard? This dude has some amazing jams. (I also recommend Disorganized Fun, Stay Crunchy, Guitar Sound, etc) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0O2aH4XLbto

Destiny by Zero 7 before they were really big, and before Sia blew up as a pop artist. This particular version is really tight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xxx_MwcfbEs

Hip Hop violin by Paul Dateh and Inka One. Its old, the video quality is awful, but the music is. Amazing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36Xt-XeWnHM

I'll probably add some more as I think of them because I love music.

Lebanese Blonde by Thievery Corporation Okay this is a well known song because it was used in a popular movie called Garden State, but not many people know the band outside of 'oh yeah that cool song from Garden State!' But this is such a talented band, if you can see a live show of theirs, do it. One of the best concerts I've ever been to in my life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1t7W6NtTKAw

Cover of No Diggity by The Regulars https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1be7E48Yhas

Broken in All the Right Places by I Am Jen A woman I found on YouTube over 10 years ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=832YvQHzFqg

1976 by RJD2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HC-FGtZrPkU

Staying' Alive instrumental cover by Luca Stricagnoli https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buH9qCgK_Qk

Good point, wonder if anyone will start selling movies on USB drives, or micro SD cards in stores. The flash memory they use has come down so much in price that I could see it being cheaper than manufacturing bluray discs because you're the only one still making discs, vs flash memory where everyone is still manufacturing for storage, removable media, etc.

And how many beers? Lol pretty easy to mess up dd if and of flags, as well and drive names and partition numbers, especially while drinking.

I know you mentioned you have access to touch screens, so you wanted to use an on screen keyboard to do this, but just an FYI:

If it would suite you better for this, or you get caught in a bind, you can use KDE connect to use your phone as a keyboard/mouse on a remote computer on the same network. Its not a great solution to use for normal computer usage, but as you said if you only have to do this once in a while to rename a file or do something simple infrequently, it could be an option.

Yup, they got me. Signed up for "price for life" fiber for $65/m, didn't take a screenshot so i have no proof. 2 years later, nothing change contract wise, but now my bill is $85/m and I can't fight it, again no proof. They were extremely careful to not have price for life branding on anything after you signed up, no email, no bill, no messages, nothing. Fuck Centurylink.

Now they're trying to get me to switch to Quantum Fiber which apparently is still Centurylink, and the carrot or stick they're using is the price for life rate at Quantum Fiber.. Why would I trust a price for life promo when you reneged on the last price for life promo, in less than a year?

Again, Fuck Centurylink.
