Not PP, but my parents have been using Kubuntu LTS exclusively since 2009 and I'm thinking about moving them to Debian stable + KDE within the next three years. They aren't wandering much, though, so as long as the OS doesn't

Today, it is. But humans are usually not very good at paying attention to the case and machines are too often very bad at preserving it (the best — or should I say worst — example being search engines). And that's without even taking i

This is so much better than INSTEAD. Not for the sole reason that it leaves some control to the content owner while ultimately leaving the choice to the user, but also because things like updates and erratums (eg. retracted papers) can&#x27

If the network bandwidth on both end allows for a transfer in less than 48 hours, most likely rsync with the --partial-dir=.rsync-partial flag. Otherwise SD card / USB key / hard drive in the mail.

That's a great idea! You can chose between feminine names, masculine names or both. At first, I thought “both” meant names that are gender-neutral but actually it means that you search for both feminine and masculine names. Which is ni

Yeah, tig is awesome and I use it exactly for this use case. For what I see, magit is way ahead when it comes to the feature set, but tig has the killer feature of having a completely flat learning curve (and I say this as an Emacs user): 1

I've been casually using jq for years, yet you just managed to put three things I didn't know about it and will use extensively from now on in a single one-liner. Thank you!

I use it and it's awesome! It's not just a video, you can copy-paste from it if you want. Here's another one I want to try for a long time but still haven't (to have a single, animated SVG file, still copy-pastable): ht

While a laptop is fine with regards to performance (especially when expensive computations are done on a remote server), it's not with regards to comfort and upgradability. I'd rather have a small computer with quiet cooling, prop

LXC has been a life changer for me. Making stuff compatible with multiple distros, making sure the dependency list is complete and experimenting something very quickly without taking the risk to compromise my main system are solved problems

Well, the first thing I thought while reading this was that it would have been great if Microsoft had released the source code of Age of Empires with the release of the Definitive Edition, as well as considered a LAN mode. Unfortunately, wh

Just a quick note on WKD since I've been bitten by this a few days ago: as soon as you set it up, some people will start using your keys automatically, without even knowing it (eg. it seems that ProtonMail automatically uses keys found

Things might have changed since last year, but it hasn't been smooth at all for me. Not only you need a Windows computer to unlock, but then it takes literally months to proceed and if you happen to do something that you're not to
