Homophobia was more common in 2003 but hadn't be socially acceptable for about a decade before that. Transphobia I'll give you.

CloneZilla. Command line scary? RescueZilla. Both free, easy to use, and I use them in an enterprise business and have for many years if you want some proof they're safe and reliable.

Quick note: If it's your OS drive: Clone it. Shut down. Disconnect source drive before turning back on or you'll have boot issues and be scratching your head why.

Don't do that, study harder and try again.

I'm seconding this for you, a certain Australian YouTuber champions them and he's 100% correct.

If money is an issue and you have a old spare Android kicking around that'll work just as well.

Encryption has been around since Roman times, and probably long before that. Even if not, bear in mind most military leaders then had people from their own lands in their ranks so it would be easy to find a trusted person to deliver the message.

Oh I'm jealous, he's one of my personal heroes.

Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, but it was more of a brief wave from a few feet away than meeting them. Still, amazingly cool experience to be that close.

I have a laptop for work, it's useful for that purpose because it's portable. I've owned several personal laptops over the years and rarely used them because I just don't need one. If I traveled more I'd consider buying one.

Never missed a flight, but my luggage once went to Manchester and I went to London. We were both supposed to go to London. I had just left my finacee in the US (we're married now), I was jet-lagged, and just wanted to go home and be heartbroken, and Monarch Airlines sucked anyway. Either way, I think me blowing my stack at the baggage rep. was not one of my finer moments.

Got my luggage back a week later with a $25 check to apologize. Hmmph.

Love Firefox, but if you want Chrome get Chromium or Brave.

1. Do you enjoy reading them?
2. Then Yes.

About 4TB, mostly pictures.

Nice, but the editing made me nauseous.

They’re terrified of change, especially change that makes them think they’re losing control of their so called values.

Headphones.

I use the NOAA Hurricane Center site, then if it gets close enough RadarScope.

Set up fork bombs to trigger at random intervals.

Hottest? Somewhere around 50C. Coldest? -25C.

In 1998 my friend asked me to set up an IRC server for him. He needed it for his job and knew I had done it before so asked for a favor. An afternoon’s work. His boss was impressed, and offered me a job. My first IT job.

Hung around on that server to keep an eye on things until the customer could take over, then made friends so just made it my home server. Ended up meeting my wife on there a few months later. A year after that, I immigrated to the US. Used the experience gained from that job to get a career here. Still here 23 years later.

Afternoon’s work changed my whole life.

I just want autocorrect to work again.
