I never understood the idea of using the command numbers. Ctrl-R is just so much easier.

This is a terrible argument, IMO. Domains are almost always auto renew, and there are typically grace periods.

Not at all, since I run my own. https://github.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver

Pay to play? Finance to FOSS.

We had shootings and my locker-mate died in a motorcycle accident. This was in the 90s, so… the usual by today’s standards?

All of them at once: SearXNG.

It aggregates results from whichever you select.

This is not a good side hustle. This is pain. Pure, unadulterated, pain.

If you’re familiar with Fittrackee and/or Wanderer, any comparisons?

Yup. No-one (non techie) needs a specific Linux distro. They’re all easy to use for normie activities once installed.

Pretty sure YouTube’s beat scientists to this.

Oh… Oh no…

It’s about the changes in microgravity, extreme G and light. Pure guess, but it’s perhaps testing for travel as much as inhabitant.

Debian. Used to use others but realized they all just added crap I didn’t want, or could add myself with a simple script.

I was a Slackware then Fedora, then Ubuntu as my daily drivers (whipe trying other distros, or Kali for specific purposes) before settling here.

Take the location limit off. Way too annoying for common OSM updates.

We simply don’t need Reddit users. We need Lemmy users who desire to start communities. Lemmy is Reddit 10 years ago, and that’s just fine.

I’ve been working with some smart people on something to hopefully become a “federated account” that can be used with any service, and is 100% compatible with OIDC, so its easy for systems to implement as the authentication vehicle: https://fedid.me/

Just presented it at IIW and interest is building thus far, so my hopes are high 😉

Go on a vacation with a dumb phone. Make sure there are tons of active activities to wear you out. Bring a friend if possible who will do the same.

Before you leave, set up some form of blocker/parental controls and have someone you trust set the passwords.

All good suggestions, but mine is: Start with something redundant.

Do you use Google Drive? Set up Nextcloud and use both for a while.

Also, decide on user management first. It’s way better to have a central system for managing passwords/etc. Personally I use an Active Directory based off Samba4: https://github.com/Fmstrat/samba-domain because it’s got LDAP and expandable with Keycloak to OAuth and OIDC. This may sound overwhelming, but once you learn what they are, its fairly straight forward.

Fun story from before Rust was getting popular (years ago). So, I did a performance comparison to determine what language we should write our rules engine in. I compared Go, Rust, Node, and some others not worth mentioning.

At the time, I had experience with all but Rust.

Even knowing nothing, and working from scratch, the Rust POC was significantly faster. Just way, way, better.

That being said, I still chose Go due to productivity based on the language knowledge of the team to ease the transition (Go was closer to what they knew already), and while it was good for them to learn Go, I look back on it and realize Rust would have been a great opportunity to invest in their careers and have them learn it instead.

A hindsight is 20/20 experience for me.
