I really like and use fastmail.

Although I have just started to try to completely de-google. Its a bit frustrating that they don't offer an apk download. I put in a ticket today saying as much.

They seemed to understand,but basically just said that all I can do is to use the browser version.

I'm using aurora store to download their official google play version for now but it feels icky.

They are obviously now the only ones that I am having trouble with but I thought that they might be more willing to help people distance themselves from Gmail and Google, as Gmail is their obvious competition.

Doesn't turn 2fa into 1fa?

I like to know that even if someone got into my bitwarden vault they would still not be able login to my most important stuff.

I signed up for a Hotmail account in 1997. I told my mom and she freaked out. She heard hot-male.

breast answer?

My parents used to wake me up at 4:30 in the morning to take a cold shower and then spend the next 4 hours doing religious worship. The only time I could read "Horrible secular books" like Mutiny on the Bounty, the three musketeers, and the man in the iron mask was late at night after everyone went to bed. I would stay up till 2:30-3:00am sometimes reading and I knew waking up at 4:30 was just not gonna happen.

Yeah, I got in a bunch of trouble when I came out of my hiding spot the next morning, but sometimes it was worth it.

I feel like you think the terminal is just for installing updates...

The linux terminal is why I use linux.

vim, diff, cat, grep, sed, awk, and sort are so freaking powerful and useful.

I had a dumb tv that I was using with a Roku streaming box. The TV became no longer supported because of the HDMI version that shipped with the TV. Roku stopped supporting certain versions of hdmi to prevent piracy.

Even if you have a "Dumb" device, newer tech may just say no.

On the days I go into the office:

Tennis shoes, Jeans, Button down short sleeve shirt, or Polo shirt.

Work from home days:

Same thing except I wear a t-shirt.

diff -y -W 200 file1 file2

Shows a side by side diff of 2 files with enough column width to see most of what I need usually.

I have actually aliased this command as diffy

ctrl-r

searching bash history

du -sh * | sort -h

shows size of all files and dirs in the current dir and sorts them in ascending order so you can easily see the largest files or dirt ant the end of the list

ls -ltr

Shows the most recently modified files at the end of the listing.

If you are going to dual boot and your computer has room for 2 drives. The way I would recommend doing it is to add a second drive for Linux, and disconnect to windows drive from the computer. Do a normal linux install. And then add the windows drive back in. Then you can set one of the drives as the default boot device and if you want to boot to the other just open the Boot options on boot.

This keeps things totally separated and you can even remove one of the drives later if you want to single boot.

TBF, if a potential partner is super excited about something you never heard of, looking into it is a good thing.

Conservatives, and other assholes, are good about hiding their crazy behind seemingly innocent things, like pepe the frog.

EDIT: And after making the comment below I just noticed the date on the version is 2022? I'm going need to try out the latest version from their Git.

I use droidify because I like the look of it better. It comes with another repo enabled by default called IzzyOnDroid which has the Alpha versions of lawnchair.

I've been using it for years. It's great.

Me: Linux Sysadmin

Co-workers: 2 Linux sysadmins with 15+ years of experience.

They pronounce URL as Earl.

I do mostly, I turn it almost all the way off with a valve on the shower head.

The running stream is thinner than a pencil.

If I turn it off all the way, it is cold when I turn it back on.

I bought a 21 inch 1080p Viewsonic monitor from a thrift store just the other day for $6. I got it just for this use case.

I had a spare for this purpose up until about a month ago when the backlight went out on one of my daily drivers.

Also, a couple of days ago I got a pretty nice steelcase apex 3 keyboard with RGB lights for $5.

Well now I want an old ugly bike. Where do you park yours? 😉

I use Debian everywhere but if I need a Live Linux environment to recover files, clone a drive, wipe a drive, or really anything else I use ventoy and a Linux mint iso.

I'm a cool grandpa with old hardware.

I'm using servicenow. First time and it's pretty bad. But I hear that it is actually worse than normal because they customized the hell out of it trying to make it match the previous solution.

When I started working at NI they were still using Lotus Notes. 🤮
