This is a great answer. I will just add that KDE in general exposes more settings in the UI than stock Gnome (but Gnome Tweaks is a thing). If you are the kind if user that just sticks with the defaults, Gnome is probably less confusing to use and what I recommend, but I personally prefer KDE because I like to tweak things.
I know it’s ELI5, but this is a common misconception and will lead you astray. They do not have the same level of isolation, and they have very different purposes.
For example, containers are disposable cattle. You don’t backup containers. You backup volumes and configuration, but not containers.
Containers share the kernel with the host, so your container needs to be compatible with the host (though most dependencies are packaged with images).
For self hosting maybe the difference doesn’t matter much, but there is a difference.
I hear you, and I agree. I did just upgrade my ok PC because I had saved up the money and wanted to get the most for them before the tariffs take effect. Before that I was gaming in a decently capable laptop about 4 years old, and before that I used hand-me-downs and upgraded maybe every 5-10 years. With the exception of this last upgrade, I’ve stayed about mid-tier for GPU and other components.
While consoles may be less expensive up front, I don’t care about exclusives and I grew up as a PC gamer who still can’t use a controller right. I’m also a developer so I can justify the upgrades when I have the money for it.
When asked, I typically tell people to pick a budget and get the most computer you can get within that. If you’re always wanting “the best” your can always spend more money for some increase in performance. Don’t spend money you don’t have.
The cost of PC gaming keeps getting worse every year and the near future doesn’t look very promising. With fewer gamers being able to afford upgrades, I except that will have a chilling effect on game studios and independent developers as well.
Yep. And for very good reasons, as explained in the article. But knowing that domains can be a significant source of income for a small nation, it does seem a shame to both waste that resource and break tons of sites in the process. I wish there were better ways to do this that didn’t mean shutting it down or even selling it off to the highest bidder (who already has enough money).
I doubt this will happen, but they should just reassign it to the Mauritius authority. The citizens of the islands could then potentially see some benefit from it, not Google or ICANN or whoever selflessly offers to take it over.
Ah yes, the Marty McFly strategy.
For those not in the US: it may be covered, but normally it’s a separate insurance plan and not covered by your regular health insurance.
It also varies what type of “dental” care. Some mouth/gum surgeries may be covered by the health plan. I think most dental plans cover checkups. All this varies wildly with your employer and insurance election, though.
Everywhere I’ve worked it didn’t matter if I used my equipment or theirs. All IP I created while employed there was the property of my employer. If you’re in the USA, check your contracts.
Excellent point. I had forgotten about this. I work for a non profit so I’m ok, but yes you should absolutely check the terms of the license before using. On the upside, almost everything is markdown files in regular folders, so you can fall back to vim anytime.
I don’t know if this will work for you, and I’m not sure if you’re only looking for TUI editors, but Obsidian has vi key bindings and a lot of plugins.
Disclaimer: I have not tried the vi key bindings in Obsidian.
Another one I use is vscode. It has a ton of markdown plugins and vi key bindings. It also has a nice preview window.
I second this. If you’re only printing occasionally, ink tends to dry out, while toner will still be good.
Git is a distributed VCS just like fossil. GitHub never has been an integral part of it; it’s just the most popular hosting option. This is like saying you’re glad you’re using Firefox because everyone complaining that Twitter is down is using Chrome.
Even if you do just GitHub for hosting you can, on account of it being distributed, still work and commit code.
What is more disruptive is that so much code is hosted on GitHub that even if you’re not yourself hosting anything there, you risk almost all your dependencies being unavailable to your build pipelines. If you didn’t have a cache set up, you’re gonna have a bad time.
Too much of their process it’s tied in with GitHub. That’s what people are complaining about.
Another Darknet Diaries fan here. Very approachable, centered around cyber security and privacy. It’s the only one I am currently listening to, but I am going to check out some of the others from this thread.
What do you mean? RedHat even used to come with an installer localized in their language.
It really depends on how much you can tolerate. I don’t know if full time is 40 hours in Germany like it is in the US.
If you have an option to try it for some time and fall back to plan B, why not do that? Then you can tell if the money is worth the extra work time.
So many links are going to go dead because of this. I’m sure plenty of software out there used this to automatically shorten links for posting on social media etc.
Most of these reports are about preview builds of Windows.
That said, surely you have seen recommendations from Microsoft to try their Office package and such oil up. It’s like that, but more intrusive.
I can’t believe Microsoft is making me switch from Windows to Mac and Linux, but here we are.
No. The wrong timing parameters could definitively break your hardware.
DOM interfacing is lackluster with wasm still, but you can certainly compile rust to wasm.
