Chrome/Linux instead of GNU/Linux?

I do the same thing with the iNatutalist app. I joke with my wife that I'm filling out my Pokedex. Currently at 164 species.

For me it's Pelican and cloudflare pages. I've got a GitHub action that rebuilds the site whenever I commit changes. Completely free. Super fast. Pelican is easy to theme and my site is one of the fastest out there.

Now if only I ever felt like writing anything. It's been five years.

> I can do zero work at my job and I'll get paid regardless? Or they do a super bare minimum, being incredibly unhelpful to everyone and their whole team hates them?

Lots of people already do this.

100% this. We used Google Meet. I had no interest in installing any apps for meetings with external parties.

The wsb file and script to do this might be like 20 lines and doesn't require installing docker.

One of my favorite uses for this is creating .wsb files that would launch a script and install zoom/WebEx/etc so I would not have to install them on my PC. The video and audio worked just well enough for me to get away with and it was easier to screen share what I was doing within the container and avoid sharing anything extra (ex: notifications).

Imo, so many of Microsoft's dark patterns are a direct result of them owning bing. Bing has bad market share, so MS takes every chance they get to show it to users. Start menu web search, Edge defaults, dark patterns abound just to get eyeballs on bing.

Look no further than Debian. After switching from Ubuntu I started to understand why people view Ubuntu as a bit dirty.

I use this to apply geotags to photos/videos from my nice camera. I use GPSLogger on my phone to log the locations. It's very handy.

I had the same issue many years ago. Local ISP said fiber was available at my house. It was not. I reported it. A few months later I noticed they basically carved out my house even though I was quite sure my entire neighborhood was not served.

This is what I expected the article to be about. I would wager a lot of shops don't to the whitelisting. If they wanted to be really intense they could do authenticated origin pulls.

80 char wrapping is solved by format=flowed. However none of the popular providers seem to implement it.

New comment by discreditable in "13 Months: The Kodak Calendar Experiment"

discreditable — Fri, 26 Aug 2022 18:55:08 +0000

Reminds me of one of my favorite posts from back in 2013: You advocate a ____ approach to calendar reform: https://qntm.org/calendar

Specifically (omitting a lot for brevity) :

    You advocate a

    ( ) solar ( ) lunar (x) lunisolar

    approach to calendar reform. Your idea will not work. Here is why:

    (x) solar years are real and the calendar year needs to sync with them
    (x) solar days are real and the calendar day needs to sync with them
    (x) the solar year cannot be evenly divided into solar days
    (x) having one or two days per year which are part of no month is stupid
    (x) your name for the thirteenth month is questionable
    (x) the solar year cannot be evenly divided into seven-day weeks

    Specifically, your plan fails to account for:

    (x) rational hatred for arbitrary change
    (x) unpopularity of weird new month and day names

    and the following philosophical objections may also apply:

    (x) good luck trying to move the Fourth of July
    (x) the history of calendar reform is insanely complicated and no amount of further calendar reform can make it simpler

    Furthermore, this is what I think about you:

    (x) sorry, but I don't think it would work

New comment by discreditable in "Using the same Arch Linux installation for a decade"

discreditable — Tue, 16 Aug 2022 22:31:40 +0000

I've had the same install going since January 2012:

    > head -1 /var/log/pacman.log
    [2012-01-22 14:55] installed filesystem (2011.12-2)

In that time I've converted the install in-place from x86 to x64, migrated from legacy boot to uefi, replaced the entire RAID set twice, motherboards, CPUs, etc. It's my own ship of theseus. Many of these tasks people would say to do a reinstall, but I've always been able to find a guide on the arch wiki to do it in-place without losing anything.
