Keep it - Costs you less than $20 a year, might give you good (or cautionary) memories, and one day someone might want to buy it off you for real money.

Recently installed Linux on my 2011 MacBook Air and loving it. Faster than MacOS and all drivers just worked (Ubuntu 22.04).

The only issue with the setup is me! Daily driving new hardware for work makes it difficult to adapt to an older display, keyboard and trackpad. laptop hardware really has come a long way in the past 11 years.

That is not entirely true. If I remember correctly, if you select the Google Authenticator as your option, it will display a QR code. You can then scan the QR code and the OTP information will be in that payload that can then be pasted into you app of choose. (How o got mine I to 1Password)

I don’t have any off the top of my head (helpful... I know), but I do have a tip that might save you some headaches down the road:

Remember to support Case Sensitive file system partitions.

This has bit me A few times and is a very annoying bug to trouble shoot down the road if you aren’t consistent with your naming structures.

There are many ways to do this, but I pose the question: are you trying to build a community, or just make money?

If you think about your audience and work backwards from there, you might be able to answer that for yourself.

Off the top of my head I would say https://www.patreon.com/ would be the first step...

Side Note: I would warn against going for the “best results” and instead built the community... once you are getting funds to be able to worry about colors, affiliations, etc... that will be a good problem to have :)

Hardware compatibility for Apple laptops is horrendous! I wish they would just open their drivers to the community at large! I would run *nix on an Apple Laptop no problem.

Yeah, I would be running Gentoo so on their laptops. It just seems the hardware compatibility for these are WAY better than most on the market today

I am debating on moving over full-time to Linux and picking up a laptop from https://puri.sm/ the hardware and open drivers are the most annoying thing when finding a laptop for Linux it seems. Almost everyone uses terrible wireless hardware or does not fully support the highest resolution or something strange. I am hoping https://puri.sm/ has that all figured out.

New comment by kernelcurry in "Ask HN: Do you blog using wordpress?"

kernelcurry — Wed, 20 Dec 2017 07:13:42 +0000

1. Wordpress has come light years in the past 2-3 years and allows for auto updating now

2. I moved my site https://kernelcurry.com from WordPress to a statistics site generator a few years ago and I LOVE IT!

If you are looking to have GitHub host and deal with scaling (for free) I say go for it! Jekyll, Hugo, etc... There are a thousand of them. If you just want to write posts and have people view them... Maybe even use a comment service (some of those are also free) then make the move...

But be warned it did take a few days me banging my head against a wall to understand all the nitty gritty BS that comes with these statistics Site Generators. -shrug- isn't that how it always goes?...

New comment by kernelcurry in "Ask HN: Would you switch to Win 10 from OS X on a MacBook Pro?"

kernelcurry — Wed, 20 Dec 2017 03:47:20 +0000

100% considered it and have a dual boot machine (nix / Win10) at the house for those non cross- compatible use cases, but I find them few and far between and end up using my Win10 machine for streaming and games mostly.

I have almost fully switched to nix and have had 0 issues. It is a but harder to find applications, but that is the mix when you are running non-commercial software... And if you really need that one application that only runs on Windows... Ask yourself why you have to use it... You probably don't and there is a terminal application that works better on *nix
