1994 was 30 years ago. They're likely to be in their mid 30s to mid 40s, depending on why they used the computer.
In my school the kids who had trouble reading in their teens had additional lessons on the computer to help their reading, and the rest of us had occasional reading lessons on the computer when we were about ten years younger. This was the 80s and 90s in the UK

Same result for me in the UK

My new headcanon is that you're ininewcrow's wife, and your comment is super passive aggressive
Sorry, I forgot to reply sooner >.<
I've been trying to get my head around this and also looking into Docker containers with Gluetun, as that looks a bit easier to start with. I think for the moment I'm going to go down the Docker route, and at least get the bulk of the programs separated, and give myself some breathing space to learn a bit more.
Docker isn't ideal, as not everything has a Docker version, but the main programs that I originally mentioned do, and it will let me open the Minecraft servers to the kids in the extended family, especially as it's getting colder and darker here.
I just want to say thank you to you, @jet@hackertalks.com, @lungdart@lemmy.ca, and everyone else who's helped :)
I'm not giving up on this, I'm just going a bit more towards the basics and learning to walk before I try to run. This switching from Windows malarkey is hard work! ;)
I'm planning to learn about Graphics Design which I know it bit hit and miss on Linux. Would give GIMP a proper try but I don't know how great it would be for me
Depending on what type of graphic design you're looking into, try Krita and Inkscape. They're both FOSS, and also run on Windows. I've been using them with GIMP for a while now, and replaced Photoshop with them. I'm still learning though, and have mostly been adjusting existing graphics.
Thanks for replying :)
I think I'm getting it, but my brain is definitely pickled at this point :D
I've also found this post and a Stack Exchange thread to go with it, and it's sinking in slowly

I need to go to bed for the night though, I've just realised that it's gone 3 am :o
Thank you :)
The reply from @jet@hackertalks.com below lead me to the man page for ip netns here:
https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man8/ip-netns.8.html
As far as I understand it, I could run programs like this:
ip netns exec vpn ~/qbittorrent/start.sh
ip netns exec clear ~/minecraft/start.sh
but I can't figure out how to get the VPN to only run under the namespace. When I run it now, it reroutes all connections through it. I've got an OpenVPN connection that I've set one of my network connections to connect to automatically, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. As soon as I connect the VPN, everything goes through it.
I'm still reading though, so hopefully I'll figure it out :)
I might be wrong, but I'm sure I remember reading that he offered to walk away and let them continue the show when the allegations first came to light
I found black mould behind the wardrobe in my bedroom this week (boo!), but the leak that caused it was fixed a while ago, we just didn't realise how bad it had been (yay!). I managed to move some furniture and clean some of the carpet*, and pumped the tyres up on my wife's car and my motorbike.
If I can get enough energy to actually get out on the bike now, I'll be laughing 😅
*My wife's been cleaning the mould because I shouldn't be near it 👍
Mid 90s is 94 to 96, not most of the decade. Most people don't start reading as soon as they're born, they usually wait a few years ;)
As I already said though I knew a few people who were in their teens in the mid 90s who were using computers to learn to read. They were my age, and are in their mid 40s now.
I can't speak for anywhere else, but in my little corner of Wales, we didn't have computers in junior school (the school we attended until we were 11), and there were no computers in our classrooms in the comprehensive school (11 to 15 or 18, depending on whether you did your A levels). There was a computer class, and a handful of computers in the school library. The kids who were missed by the teachers and who were found to not be able to read were given extra lessons to learn.
I doubt that OP was in a situation like that, but it's not overly unlikely.
