    So I am rewatching old detective shows like WhiteChapel, early Sherlock, Ripper Street…etc. You know the usual police/detective chasing killers and solving strange cases.

    Anyway, I remember I used to watch a show similar to the ones above around 2010ish. But the only thing I could recall is that the killer (of that specific story arc) likes to cross dress or maybe homosexual? Before I go further, let me say I have nothing against trans people. You guys are cool. It is just coincident that the one thing I remember is this one lol.

    So in this one episode, the killer comes face to face with our main character. It is their only confrontation and it is the final episode of that arc. I think the MC caught him before he kills another one. I also think the killer dies in this episode so we close this story arc. There is a lot of “I think”, I understand but my memories are so hazy lol. Another thing I could recall is that the killer is a male, and he dresses like one of those dominatrixes. This scene was so fucked up that the only thing I remember was this killer. I think our victim was being tortured with BDSM stuff and before he got killed, our MC saved him.

    Very hazy, I know. I also checked the following with no luck:

    • Sherlock: definitely not. Sherlock only comes in like 3 episodes per season, and I dont recall any scene like that. .

    • Whitechapel: I just finished watching the entire show and there was no such scene.

    • The Alienist: I watched these a long time ago. I can try again but from Wikipedia’s description of the episode, there was no such scene.

    • Ripper Street: I am watching it now from Ep 1 and I dont want to read up the episodes because the show is good. I want to enjoy watching it w/o spoilers. Maybe this is the one? I dont know.

    Several thing I am 100% sure:

    • Show is produced post 2000.

    • I definitely watched this in 2010ish, exactly 2011. Reason for this is that I remember showing this show to my HS roommate and even he went “that is fucked up”. Again, no discrimination against trans, it is just the episode.

    • It is definitely a detective style show. In fact, our MC caught the wrong killer and hence the reveal in this episode is so shocking.

    That is all I could remember… Appreciate any help

    i use wm so workspaces. I have them as:

    1. WEB: to spawn all web browsers. Clicking a link in a terminal or a pdf will open a tab or a new browser here.

    2. TERM: to spawn all terminal applications and processes: Htop, ssh, vim windows to edit stuff…etc.

    3. CODE: for GUI code editors like CodeBlocks, VSCode, Emacs. Yes I do use Vim but I prefer the full functions from these.

    4. FILE: any file managers, e.g. pcmanfm, thunar, ranger…etc. I mostly use only one (pcmanfm) and use this workspace when I need to view complicate folder structures.

    5. PDF: I read a lot of papers so usually qpdfview owns this worlspace. I used to have Mendeley here as well.

    6. MEDIA: so any VLC, mplayer will spawn here

    7. TODO: usually some notes I put down on a text editor will show here.

    8. OTHER: the rest.

    If you just want to play the game, then gaming works surprisingly well on Linux. Very well.

    I have the same game on Steam running on 2 separate computers, Fedora and Win 11. On the Fedora one, everything is just rock solid. Heck, even when I am rendering some very intensive 3D stuff on another workspace for work and use 50% of the RAM, the game is still running. On the Win 11 laptop, random issues happen where my cursor dissapears and the entire desktop freezes.

    OTOH, if you need the gaming accessories to work properly then I’m not sure, could be a 50/50. For eg, if your laptop has some proprietary sound card, then Linux might not be able to take advantage of that. On Windows, these should work OOTB.

    man the prices below are disgusting and this is just the home internet. I used to pay $40 - $50 / month with BrightHouse. If we want higher speed, my roomates would chip in and the total price is at max $90/month. After they turn to greedy Spectrum, the price jumped to $80/ month for slow speed. It was so expensive so we didnt go with higher speed…

    I thought that was expensive so I decided to ditch broadband and only use my phone. This was when carriers still had truly unlimited data. Well, things worked for a while until they decided to kill that too with BS feature, i.e. you’re still unlimited but we’ll slow you down if you hit the limit. I paid no minds to this at first, but then the 2G was so slow that you couldnt do anything.

    Pop OS tiling is awesome. What I always try to do on tiling WM: set workspaces and spawn specific applications on specific workspaces. Not sure if Pop OS can do it, but on i3/dwm/sway…etc. you can freely spawn your applications wherever you like.

    Try to play around with those DIY tiling environment. You will have a lot of fun if you like tinkering with stuff. Maybe one day you will run EXWM
