Haven't tried the spreadsheets, though.
I am on Linux, yes, trying to get rid of the need to power up the MBP.
Edit: I'm using Nikon D700 and the "not so good" lens algorithm was for the 16-85 lens... LR seems to take better care of it, but I'll try with the updated lens DB in Darktable.
Also, I do miss the styles selection from LR... There is a community around Darktable styles [2], but it doesn't seem to cover everything LR does.
On the bright side, Darktable seems very very fast (compared to LR) and the overall process (when you know what to do) is really satisfying.
Here is a list of harmful nonsense [1] Pai and his FCC did over the last four years:
- Killed net neutrality
- Approved T-Mobile / Sprint merger
- Repeatedly released reports that claimed U.S. broadband is fine
- Defended murder of net neutrality in court
- Flubbed Puerto Rico hurricane disaster response
- Slow-walked and obstructed investigation into telecom company sale of your location data
- Said FTC would protect net neutrality (it didn’t, and couldn’t)
- Falsely claimed killing net neutrality was good for broadband access (it wasn’t)
- Refused to brief Congress about telecom companies’ sale of their customers’ phone location data
- Helped Comcast and other major telecom companies in their pursuit of monopolistic power
- Oversaw America’s falling rank in an annual “Internet Freedom” index
- Allowed Verizon to throttle California firefighters’ data while they were fighting unprecedented wildfires
- Invented a DDoS attack that shut down the FCC’s net neutrality comment system
- Lied to public about that fake DDoS attack that shut down the agency’s net neutrality comment system
- Lied to Congress about that fake DDoS attack
- Didn’t detect that dead people were leaving comments on net neutrality comment system
- Refused to change the definition of ‘broadband’
- Demanded $200 to release emails about his giant mug
- Allowed scammers to submit fake comments about net neutrality under the names of two sitting senators
- Did that dumbass Harlem Shake thing with a pizzagate conspiracy theorist
- Became a rubber stamp for Sinclair Media and
- Tried to kill a broadband assistance program that subsidized internet connections for the economically unstable and poor
- Got a literal gun from the NRA for his “courage” in killing net neutrality
- Was investigated by his own agency for alleged corruption as he pushed to dismantle media consolidation rules
- Published report claiming broadband market was magically fixed by repealing net neutrality
- Ignored 22 million comments supporting net neutrality
- Tried to reclassify cell phone data service as “broadband internet”
- Allowed phone call rates for incarcerated people to skyrocket
If it's indeed the end, nice game!
edit: although, I still haven't found the Anne's location
I used to be a Kolab [2] user and "promoter" for many years but the project seems stalled a bit recently and although it is still being worked on and developed, it is lacking documentation for the latest releases.
I have moved to mailcow recently and am amazed at how easy it is to setup and maintain as opposed to Kolab.
The thing I miss from Kolab in mailcow is the integrated LDAP storage and custom built UI (if anyone knows a good and reliable LDAP administration UI as a web app, please let me know!), which I got used to using for user authentication in other services. Luckily, there are some efforts in LDAP integration into mailcow [3], although, still not mature yet and not that tightly integrated.

I am renting a SoYouStart [1] server with a self hosted solution. If you're not that experienced with setting up and maintaining an email server, you can try installing the MailCow [2]. Its fairly easy to setup and maintain. There's enough setup guides available, including setting up your DMARC and DKIM so your emails won't be rejected or treated as spam by default.

Viber had a similar thing long before FB's messenger: single gray check mark character if the message is sent, double gray check mark if it is received by the recipient and double check mark in purple if it is seen.
The only issue is with the purple color of the "seen" as it can sometimes blend into an image behind it (if the message was consisting of an image).
Btw, I've learned it almost the same way, but while playing the typing games with my kids later in life, I've upgraded the skill a bit.
- estimates: ability to balance between showing off when estimating the skills and technologies you know well and then underestimating the process ahead and overestimating the unfamiliar territories.
- fast typing: I could never relate to developers as senior, no matter the years of experience, if I see them shooting the keyboard with two or four fingers. Despite my subjective position on this, fast typing "releases" your brain to think only about the problem you're solving or achieving the goal you have without dialing 911 to "find that letter".
EDIT: I've used a wrong phrase in my second point. I meant "touch typing" instead of "fast typing".

The overall experience is not as smooth as with Google or MS, but I do have Exchange protocol, file storage with management and online document editing and it works.
First time it took me almost two weeks to setup everything, but I've been doing the same setup for my friends, for their small to mid sized companies for less than a week.
Their main website is not managed well but they have a pretty active development community, very useful mailing list (you can browse the archive) and somewhat dated documentation but the changes are not that hard to figure out.
Once everything is set, the update process and maintenance are almost automatic through the native linux package manager.
My plan would be to do something similar. Assess the situation (in terms of software, hardware, processes, etc.) and assess the people at hand and move on from there, like with any other managerial position.
