My stepdad had one of these, it was still working in the early 90's. Very cool "tech".

> First because enterprises need a company behind offering support contract.

I used to think this too, but it is not as big a deal as you may think. I have supported linux in the enterprise since the late 90's. The only place that ever bought support was an Oracle shop and we had 5 support licenses for our production OEL severs.

My current company is 100% CentOS and has never had support. I was not there when the choice was made or I would have pushed Debian. Some of my colleagues came from an all Debian shop.

I wouldn't call this a victimless crime. This is putting the vehicle out of service causing a loss of revenue. I consider victimless crimes to be things that consenting adults choose to do that would not harm anyone else. There is clear harm to the company.

Although, I don't disagree with the method of protest.

You may be an exception. Everyone I know, including myself, hates this style.

I know a couple that made a nice profit raising cattle and chickens on 5 acres. It was all about land management.

I get the need to be profitable, but damn we are going to lose a lot of resources. The value is almost always in the comments. From this to askreddit in general, to geopolitics and so many others.

This is especially true here on HN, I find the comments to be of amazing value.

My wife and I moved aboard a sailboat in 2012, we made more new friends over the next 2 years that we were in and out of St Augustine than we had made in a long time. That community was so welcoming that years after we left the boat we moved there and it is our permanent home. There are sailing communities like this all over the US east coast and Caribbean.

I have seen both and holy crap Woodstock '99 was a mess.

I buy from AliExpress often. Most recently a batch of anodized metal business cards, before that a bunch of home automation sensors. I could get the same sensor from Amazon for a lot more money, I did get one for a test piece before buying 16 of them.

My experience has always been a good one. Just be prepared to wait a while for delivery, the business cards were about three weeks.

I have been using a free plan for over two years. Zulip is awesome and, in my opinion, way better that slack. I use both on a daily basis.

> It's also unlikely that somebody memorized 20 random characters.

I routinely memorized 15 character random passwords until I switched to bitwarden, 20 doesn't seem out of bounds. Now, with bitwarden, I have no idea what any of my passwords are.

I use etckeeper for this, automatic daily commits if something changes, also does pre and post apt commits.

I use that for potential personal foot shots. Upgrades are almost always straight forward, just read the notes. I have been upgrading in place 6-12 systems since at least 2002.

I want this. I'd be happy with an earbud but I really want an embedded AI that can see and hear what I do and can project things into my optic and auditory nerves.

I have been using Barrier or its predecessor Synergy for 20 years. Fantastic stuff.

This is completely true.

Being a Linux guy and having used MacOS for the last few years at work. I think what the OP is talking about is the clipboard history. It was one of my missing features when I start. I found Maccy [1] and that solved any issue I had.

> How many people use straight Debian on a laptop, and why?

I have run Debian on every PC and Laptop I have owned since c2000 and my wife's since c2005. Most recently a Lenovo P1 Gen 4. It is the best OS choice for me.

Yes I have to install with the non-free installer and had to install with wired Ethernet.

> The packages are older, it’s more stability oriented anyway.

Admittedly, I am running Debian Sid.

All my OTPs are in Bitwarden and FreeOTP.

The only thing I currently need my phone for is Google's new device login and even that goes to my tablet too.

Are there any "good" resources that explain "proper" fasting? The Internet seems to be chock-full with information of questionable provenance.

A personal example. When my wife and I started keto and intermittent fasting we choose the 8/16 schedule and only ate between 12:00-20:00. I was having a conversation recently with a client, family practice doctor, he said I wasn't really intermittent fasting. I was just skipping breakfast. So who knows.

What we did worked well until it didn't. With low carb, <20g; low calorie, < 1300 kcals; and fasting. I lost 60-70 pounds in 2 years. Then I started gaining it back, I an up 40ish. As I understand it now, I have been shorting my calories too much and my metabolism has tanked.

I have used FriendDA many times with friends, we will throw it into the middle of a sentence while explaining an idea.

I have always thought there should be an execution clause. If I share an idea and have not spoken about it for X time then it becomes friend(publicish) domain. At that point anyone I have shared it with could implement it without recourse, it would be nice if they shared the wealth if they made millions.

ESPHome is great. I have used it to make a garage door controller for an old non-smart opener. Wired contact sensor with a relay to "press the button".

One could argue that life is complex technology.

> when MBA/MBP are consistently achieving 10-16+ with real-world use.

I never get more than a couple hours on my MBP, 2.5-3 tops.

I managed a bunch of Solaris systems for most of the 2000's. The only thing I miss is Live Upgrade, that was pretty clever stuff.

I was still getting recruiter calls for a gig in South Florida until about a year ago. I felt like a Fortran programmer.

The best defence I have seen for this is to keep all your data on cloud storage and do a base install whenever you are crossing questionable borders. Rather than a cloud provider, host your own Nextcloud instance.

I won't use the blur or fake backgrounds normally, I find them goofy. I just let people see what is behind me. If it not appropriate for video I'll leave it off. My background has been, the living room, kitchen pantry, bedroom, forest behind my house, patio, whatever. We are real people, in real locations just show it.

So far the comments are all resource related. So ... let's all throw them some cash.

Along these lines, my folks took a bath in 2008. They were using their stock holdings for cash flow. When the market tanked they had to sell more for the same cash flow. Historically, this made sense considering their class of holdings. 2008 was just a shot show.

This is awesome. Brought a nice chuckle to my quiet morning.

Kde plasma. Because it is what I have used for 20+ years and I am too lazy to switch.
