  • About the marathon they ran last month?

    • Linux Users Switching Back to Linux

    Jump

  • If you have to use Windows and you're power-userish enough to go setting up static IPs, it might be worth learning a bit of PowerShell. You can do everything with it!

    • Yes, it's Linux.

    Jump

  • ...but still nicer than 11, right?

    • When we microwave in our house we say we're going to "zap it". What do you say?

    • What are the modern design trends you hate most?

    Jump

  • I recently installed NoScript, and it's truly eye-opening the number of pages that "require" JS just to show me a page that has literally no reason to require JS. It's abysmal.
