Email was born in a service vacuum. The reason it still exists today is the same reason nothing else can become as ubiquitous as email.

What kind of software is getting better? Most commercial software has steadily gotten worse, moving to subscription models, taking more risks with updates and breaking things. I remember clearly when Github got bought by Microsoft. Since then, outages became a common occurance whereas before they were rare.

Open source software is arguably getting better and better, but less people are willing to do it for free while big tech reaps their free labour for profit with no return.

I like to think Fairphone had a little to do with pushing the industry forward.

Fairphone still offers 7 years but this is great to see.

I also mostly struggle with new people. As always, this is a skill that you can practice, but ASLs have a harder time at it (to different levels). It’s still something I do consciously when I’m with friends and family, but don’t bother with strangers. Unless I’m trying to get into their pants, then I bring out the big eye contact guns full power.

The fact that jellyfin let’s you sort your media exactly the way you want without promoting or hiding content already puts JF miles ahead any commercial streaming services. The ease of mind is unbeatable.

I do the closest thing I can, which is lick my smoke alarm every night and sleep with 1kg of banana next to my pillow.

That definitely helps putting my mind off of the fear of radiation. Thanks.

On the home server on the host. I couldn’t figure out how to make it work in a container and still have ssh access to the host, which was my goal…

Same! I setup a cronjob calling namecheap dyndns API.

Depends what you want. It’s never late to pursue an academic interest. But realistically if you’re going back to school to change careers, probably from 35 up it starts being hard to justify. If you just want to go to school to supplement your current skills, it’s never too late.

Tampax was indeed designed by a physician. A male one, if you can believe. So when he says they are super comfortable, you know it’s true because it’s a man’s opinion.

I still hate it and will always hate it.

If you’re on an ssh connection to a server, they can probably track the keystroke latency and average out over time. All network packets have timestamps, so you can know the latency of each one. If it’s consistently high, that’s unlikely to be a fluke or temporary network slowness.

Right? I never heard of tracking employee’s keystroke latency before. Pretty genius.

With the advent of foldable phones, it’s become easier and cheaper to make 2-part thin phones too.

Yeah, I think you should cosplay as a nazi the same way we wear fake guns. You better make it abundantly clear that it’s a toy/costume.

I still don’t understand how Searx is able to operate for free. Don’t the API calls cost money?

Not really. In most European countries inequality is still huge, with service jobs earning less than a living wage.

That’s not intirely true. Some people definitely are like that, like in any country. Others agree that if you work and pay taxes, you deserve all the same benefits.
