Thanks for sharing this. I watched the interview and it was one of the most interesting I've ever watched.

Speaking of backdoors in popular open source libraries, the recent incident with xz is exemplary I think.

Reasons to have kids

When they will support installing progressive web apps (PWA) like Chrome does, I'll consider it.

Well I guess it's only about time before Google goes all in with DRM.

As a Linux desktop user, web apps are very much welcome. Apps like Photopea and Adobe's new Photoshop web app are things that make the Linux desktop much more viable as a platform.

Yeah I've noticed that too. I have a systemd service that periodically updates a DNS record on duckdns.org and it fails quite often.

Some points on why I switched from Firefox to Chrome:

- It "failed" while trying to use Google Meet for work. I don't remember the details of the incident, but it was embarrassing enough that it made me switch, at least for work stuff

- No Chromecast support

- Buggier than Chrome in general: last I remember was an issue with page scaling when printing

- No desktop integration of PWAs (i.e. launcher icon, standalone window). This is what I missed the most as a Linux desktop user.

- Worse performance than Chrome, at least on Android. Firefox was freezing often and even causing my phone to... restart randomly. This is unacceptable.

Well, on my iPad mini 1st gen the web is unusably slow.

Thanks.

There's an option that allows to keep showing unavailable tracks. They appear greyed out and are not playable, but at least you know they're there.

What NAS do you have?

There are models in the Thinkpad P line that can be maxed out at 128GB.

Your comment sparked my curiosity about this bug, which I vaguely remember reading about a few years ago. Apparently, it wasn't a bug in the EXT4 filesystem, but rather in a kernel component called blk-mq.

Are you still using Linux as daily driver? I'm just curious.

Just less frequently. Also, we should agree on what those "issues" are, really. Beside the lack of popular commercial applications on Linux, the existing, open source variants, are often inferior if not frustrating.

That would prevent file de-duplication.

I find it arrogant to force a human being to life, especially at this time. I question everyday the fact that somebody else decided for me that life is somewhat worth living.

I had been using Miniflux for little less than a year. If you don't want to bother with self-hosting, there's a hosted option.

Somewhat tangential, but I wonder where do people using their own domain draw the line.

I personally use a "stable" firstname@lastname.com for supposedly trusted, long-term services (e.g. bank, utilities, etc.) and for services that require my identity for obvious reasons (e.g. shipping/billing address).

For sites where I prefer not to reveal my identity (not even to the site operator), I use Fastmail’s Masked Email (akin to iCloud Hide My Email). This, however, means I don't own those addresses, and if I need to change email provider for whatever reason, it's a PITA to update the email address field on possibly hundreds of sites (assuming you can).

I could buy a domain like randomstring.com to use with catch-all, but then I would be more likely to be tracked across sites, especially in the case of data leaks (which do happen eventually).

Then there are those awkward in-person situations when somebody asks my email and I have to say firstname@lastname.com.

What's a good tradeoff?

That’s what I understood from the article

Which features are being removed?

I think the online version of Microsoft Office is not as feature-complete as the offline one. That, and performance is surely worse on large documents.

This is the case where I would have used PDF. Didn't employers accept that?

I own an Epson EcoTank ET-2650.

Despite costing more than traditional inkjet printers, I find that build quality is not that great (cheap creaking plastic, scanner bed occasionally detatching from its hinge).

Another issue I have with it is that ink level reporting is inaccurate; indeed, the manual itself recommends to visually inspect the tanks, which are semi-transparent and can be observed without opening the printer. However, I found that it's impossible to do that because dried ink covering the inner surface of the tank makes it impossible to distinguish the actual ink level line. Because of that, I have to remember to look inside the tanks to check if a refill is needed from time to time.

That said, ink lasts ages and refilling is cheap compared to cartridges, so overall I'm happier with it than with any other traditional inkjet printer.

If you don't need color printing, laser is the way.

Using this in combination with home IP cameras to send me alerts. Works great!

There was a giveaway of a Tuxedo laptop[1]. Whoever wanted to participate had to comment on the video announcing the giveaway, which apparently goes against YouTube's TOS (as far as I can tell comments count affects YouTube's algorithm).

Apparently it depends on the hardware. And by that I don't mean whether you have a powerful CPU/GPU combination.

If you're lucky, it's smooth as butter. Personally I'm in the unlucky group (i3-6100U + HD 520).
