I'd avoid it if at all possible. Waking up slowly and taking your time to adjust can be beneficial. There's no way a sudden jolt of adrenaline and caffeine is good for you in the long run.

There have been studies stating that when daylight saving is rolled back one hour there's a spike in coronary accidents. That may or may not be true, but I do feel better when doing my slow start routine.

Can't argue with cool points.

My SSD Steam library over two drives because life is short and I cba managing the two ssds independently.

You do know that Steam handles multiple libraries transparently, even on removable drives?

Goes without saying.

Just take care of yourself and make sure you work for a living and not the other way around, that's my motto.

Yep, here I am suffering some pain on my right shoulder, wrist an index finger after yesterday's small gaming session.

Still, gotta Doom.

Just wait until your eyesight fails you, and the joint that makes your mouse button click starts hurting.

Things that you love to do after work (like playing video games) start to sound like chores.

I read somewhere that the project is really hurting due to the original programmers having little to no time to devote to it, so I'm not expecting to run it on a Raspberry Pi anytime soon.

I wish I could help, but I'm no programmer.

I still have it installed (Haiku, actually) on a small 32-bit laptop that I boot occasionally just to marvel at how awesome it is.

A port to Arm or Risc V would be great, it seems like a natural match to small SBCs.

Rsync itself may be a bottleneck. Have you compared it to cp command, for instance?

It doesn't have to be the best, it just has to be better than the current standard. Git was better than CVS and SVN, so it won.

Exactly. Boring stability is good.

Can one tool be used for multiple use cases? Sure. Should it? Maybe not.

Fair enough, but I like the fact that I can keep Firefox or Steam from accessing my bank records and holiday photos.

My take: native packages for the core OS, flatpaks for desktop applications. Works for me.

If you've never heard the MTV Unplugged version, do yourself a favour.

Behind the 80's synthpop cheerfulness there's a lovely sad song.

IIRC the root account was disabled (with no password), so I resorted to my trusty SystemRescueCD pen to fix things. Never leave home without it.

Found out the hard way that if you edit /etc/sudoers with anything other than visudo you best be absolutely sure the syntax is correct, otherwise sudo will refuse to read it and you'll be locked out.

Also learned to add -rf to the rm command at the end, after I re-read it to make sure it does what it should do. Something like rm /path -rf instead of rm -fr /path. That protects you from your fat fingers hitting the enter key half way through.

If you send the noobs to a noob specific community with other noobs, then you pass the chance to share some of your knowledge that may save the noob from doing some silly stuff because of the bad habits he picked up while using Windows.

I think that it may be slightly annoying and repetitive, but it is important to give noobs a nudge in the right direction.

I mostly use Thunderbird. Lately I've been using Newsflash.

No love for Terminator?

I spend my day working on it. Multiple tabs, multiple vertical and horizontal panes, good keyboard shortcuts, profiles, themes... What more do you want?
