So if I create an test.slk file on my desktop, then rightclick > open with, and select an app like Sublime (to be sure no other office apps like LibreOffice), to open all files like this in the future by default, will that solve this problem?

What I know is that a virus like Ebola, which kills almost everybody who is untreated, cannot be that successful as a virus like Covid19 or HIV, because it gets no chance to spread. The corona virus is so successful because it can spread without killing everybody.

With ASML not delivering the much wanted machine, they have another hurdle to take. It will be a big challenge, but of course they will do it. It's the new arms race.

I've used personal wikis for many years. It's easy to link between notes, it's searchable. I used camelcased words as hashtags. I had several thousands notes in it, personal and work related.

Then the smartphone came and took over, and there was no good wiki-app and in the browser didn't really work. Since then I've switched to Evernote. Again more than 1000 notes without transferring the wiki to Evernote. I can get lost sometimes, and then it needs some work to clean up tags and notes.

> OneNote or even just a text file for a while, I get overwhelmed every time I open it to take a note as it is littered with stuff that I no longer need

I don't understand your problem. Evernote can be sorted on date of last access, so you always see the most recent notes on top. You don't want a collection of notes, but you want auto-archive? Isn't auto-archive the collection?

> but found no tool that lets me just start on a blank page and ignore the history.

In evernote and probably any note taking app you can open a new note and start clean.

A 5GB limit, and the $6/month (?!?!) has a 10GB limit??????

I tried Debian 10 for several months. It all looks really similar, but that's because of Gnome, or whatever desktop you use. With Ubuntu 20.04 I've turned back to Ubuntu for desktops. Debian is my preferred distro for servers, but Ubuntu just works a lot better on the desktop. It has its issues as well, and I'm not a fan of the snaps. I've compromised because I'm most familiar with Ubuntu, and because it has the best support community with Askubuntu.

You can read up on it in the book by Dr Holick. He recommends 4000IU daily, but if you're afraid that's too much, go with 2000IU/day. I take 4000IU daily since several years. Get a test before you start, so you have a base value. Test again after a month or two maybe three, and see what the change is.

With sun exposure, the book recommends the following. Go sit in the sun on a sunny day, until you get a mild rose burn. How long does that take? Divide that time over a week, and you're safe. This rose-burn time depends on the time of year, how high is the sun in the skye? How clear is the skye? What is the time of the day? So this value changes a lot for people in norther Europe, compared to people living in Africa.

I think 80 is a better level. People living in Spain and similar regions, who work outside most of the year, have levels up to 220 and they have no problems with it. You should not pursue that value via supplements. Taking 2000IU or 4000IU daily is healthy, but go much higher for longer periods and you end up with calcification of your bones. That's not reversible, and it might kill you in the end.

Vitamin D intake via supplements (vitamin pills) results in vitamin D storage in fat in you body. The storage decays over time, and it appears that intake via supplements decays twice as fast as intake via sun exposure.

How about focussing on communication methods for people who are (almost) blind and deaf, leaving all communication to touch. I don't know if you can make a living from that, but given your intelligence, your programming and tech knowledge, your determination, you may have what it takes to make this work.

Thinking about it, this type communication might work in dark and soundless environments like when you dive in muddy water. Another target group is people in a coma. Just a suggestion. There are probably more use cases than people with Usher.

That 80s guy sounds like a genius, but this guy is probably not, like most of us. He may be intelligent and hardworking, but a genius is on a different level. Another thing is that progressive myopia is something different than going completely blind and deaf. That is this guy's fate. How do you communicate then?

Isn't Linux an anagram (no not an anagram but I can't come up with the right word) for Linux Is Not UNix?

You totally miss the point. This is not about creating new code. It's about understanding and changing old code. To understand old dense code that is written with no comments, variable names like N1, X2 etc - finding out what the code does is the problem.

I think it's more like metal fatigue, so Mountain Rock Fatigue Syndrome might be more appropriate?

NOW NOW NOW!!! WE WANT IT NOW!!! /s

Give them some time! They just decided this.

Two or four euros per month. Call the army! I would start a class action suite. /s

This stupid selfish attitude is not helping. Netflix will probably issue a statement that they will refund all those affected. And if you don't like it, downgrade! You probably have plenty of time if this is an issue for you.

I have a Sony Xperia phone with Android 8. I can't believe Sony would not follow the specs, and Fitbit either, but I may be wrong about that.

I think shared care services should be heavily promoted and subsidized in cities, especially for small cars, with their own smaller parking spots. These cars should be in every street. If cars are not autonomous by then, there should be drivers going around the city to move and distribute these cars. You should be able to take them from spot A and leave them at spot B, just like the bikes in Paris. Charging points should be moved into the ground, and cars should be able to park and connect themselves. That is not a big issue, although it will require adjustments to parking spaces. You could also create chained parking, bumper to bumper, where the cars interconnect and move if you need to get one out.

Can you bring your work down to 4 or 3 days? For like the whole year? Going back to 32 hours will give a lot of space, to sleep, to do other stuff. If the company supports this, that would be great.

Daily chores, cooking, cleaning: do what is practical and what you can handle! Order food if you cannot bring yourself to cook. Don't worry too much about cleaning, but make sure pests stay away. When you go out for work or whatever, make sure you are presentable, properly clothed and clean. Get a hair cut on a regular basis. Shave. Having a house that is spic and span is no priority. On the other hand, cleaning the house is a way to clear your mind. Walking, fitness, biking, swimming - all the are good to clear your head and remove the ongoing thoughts for an hour or so. This works better in a workshop with an instructor, like a tennis or dance lesson.

Open a private tab and the cookie is not there.

Remember that you are unique in the list of visitors to this website. That is a limited group. You are probably unique anyway, but the numbers here are not acurate.

Google is better. Bug DDG is good enough for 98% of what I need. Searching is mostly finding the right website, or an explanation of a specific problem. Sometimes I have a search query that doesn't give any usable results with DDG, and then Google comes to rescue. That happens about once a month.

It's not ridiculous, it's corruption.

Use reader mode

You may find squat toilets along the autoroute in resting areas without restaurants and gas station, and maybe at some campings, but I've never seen any in a bar or restaurant, let alone a hotel.

Probably 5 years old or older, maybe only 2GB of RAM, and back then already underpowered.

Network name is: WOOSH!!!

For me, the Netflix user interface is a horrible experience that blocks me from finding the series I want to see.

- I want vertical browsing - I want to be able to remove items from the list, mark them "not interested"

Maybe some people prefer this layout. Fine! Make it optional. Give us the "pro" user interface as an option in the menu. My bet is all Netflix programmers want one. I can't imagine that there is one Netflix programmer who thinks this interface is how they would make it. This interface screams "marketing". Fuck those guys.
