I guess no hoster is safe, but maybe have a backup in a different jurisdiction.

Agree

I use Ubuntu every day. I’m part of the Linux community. And i believe that Ubuntu helped to make the Linux desktop easy and available and sort-of cool.

There’s no hate, but i could live without snap, unity and oversimplification. Actually that’s my biggest issue. Give me settings, give me choice. Hibernate works fine on my machine, don’t hide it.

Apt/deb is a fine package manager, flatpak and docker can supplement it when you want something not packaged as deb. The way Ubuntu updates browser over snap is a small improvement, but it’s not worth deviating from the rest of the Linux world.

I don’t hate Ubuntu. I think they are wasting their time on stuff no one needs. Missing the chance to improve Linux for everyone.

Ok, so add Sony Experia to the list. You win headphone jack and sd. Cool.

But the size confirms my point. 6.1 inch is not small for people who like small phones.

No modern phone meets those requirements. Sad, but true.

Phones tend to get bigger screens every generation. 3.5mm audio and sd cards are no longer a thing.

And if security is important you want a recent model that gets updates from the vendor (unles you know what you are doing with customs roms)

Look at Samungs or Google Pixel and see what size she could like. They all have good cameras.

Thank you for the states. Haaretz seems to the source most foreign media quote.

I’m a little chubby and drink more beers than i should. I’m 40. I’m in a stable relationship, so not on the dating market.

Also, I have similar thoughts about my professional ambitions. I’ll neither become CEO nor professor, so why bother. Could I make more? Probably. A more fancy title? Sure. But why I care?

What? Isn’t Haaretz like the main media outlet in Israel?

Yeah. That’s me. Or anyone I know, really. Sure cities are back to pre-pandemic chaos, but those are other people.

I choose to work from the office on most days. I use public transit. I go to the gym. I’m not locked in, but …

• after-work drinks
• meetups
• catch up with a friend at the pub
• date night
• clubs
• partys

That’s a distant past. And i don’t miss it, really.

Ok, I do miss socializing, the good parts: Crack some jokes, have some small-talk, feel part oof a group of friends.

But i don’t miss it enough to endure that bad parts: Forcing oneselves into conversations with strangers, “networking”, drinking a beer alone in a corner of some event, going out to bar where over your overpriced drink you’ll accept that you’d rather be in your living room. Bars and night clubs are a weird concept (unless you are in your twenties and really enjoy the scene): You realistically only talk the person you came with, but they can’t hear what your are saying since it’s loud and crowded. There may be music, but unless you came to dance, you probably have a Spotify play list you’ll enjoy more. In better quality.

Your problem is most likely escaping. $1 has a meaning in regex and in shell. You want the former and the single quotes achieve this.

In your second example, with alias, probably the shell interpreting this replaces $1 with whatever the first arg in the shell environment is, probably the empty string.

Not sure what the problem with the shell script is. Anyway try escaping the $ as $ and \ as \.

You can see where you are wrong if you replace prename with echo for debugging. Or in a shell script do

set -ex

Didn’t they just cut the funding?

What marketing genius uses a mouse upside down.

there’s a chance they’d survive.

They’ll probably shoot themselves in the back five times while falling from the ground floor window.

Good to know

What? I need syncthing-android, where is it going?

Yes, i though this, too, but usually companies address this by issueing vouchers that can be only be used for certain businesses or products. This makes sure, the expense shows up as food on the invoice. Nobody cares if employees find a loophole to buy non-food. The company issued food vouchers. That will do.

Valid question. You can ask this about many things:

Would the Internet as we know it exist if Facebook, AOL, and Yahoo had united to create a walled garden?

Would Macbooks as we know them today exist without an open source ecosystem? Would the company Appke exist? Would there be an iPhone?

Would the web exist without Linux? Both developed at the same time, 1991 till now, and most stuff runs on Linux servers.

Would the people who build all the hardware and software even be interested in computers had they not played with (build) computers in the 90ies? What if we had given them an iPad aith CandyCrush that just works; and not BIOS codes, cables, extension cards and drivers?

And shit-ass is what you have to deal with when babies become teenagers?

And poop butt is good? This poop-butt device mows the lawn in seconds. ???
