Not even close. Mozilla has been windows-centric for years. While they've kept Linux support really well, and most features make it, windows tends to be the first platform they address. Under the hook, it's extra windowsy. For exa

The mobile version is generally okay, but it takes way way much more than safari to start up, which absolutely sucks when you just when to quickly look something up.

.local is reserved for mDNS too, so using it internally via an authoritative DNS is bound to result in issues.

Oh, thanks, cool. It's designed with GNOME in mind, but not part of GNOME itself, so installing it doesn't require pulling a huge part of GNOME either, and that's a nice plus! :)

Authentication is hard. And that's exactly why you should never have to be writing your own auth code, but rather, use existing frameworks. There's so many tiny details and edge cases that can have such catastrophic results, it&#x

Does anyone know the name of the app that's listing/displaying fonts? It looks pretty neat, and I haven't found anything good-looking like that for Linux/*nix.

No; systemd handling encrypted boot isn't new. I moved to using it over a year ago, and it was already quite spread within the Arch community (from the amount of forum posts, etc at the time), so it's probably quite older than tha

I was actually amazed they don't test this scenario (I was one of first affected by this bug on all my systems about a week ago). LUKS encryption is probably THE most common setup for newer desktop linux installations, so I was amazed

Actually, you mean "pensions are defined in the US" aren't portable. Employer and pension are not tied together in a great deal of countries - for example: state-controlled. So even if you switch jobs, the plan remains the sa

You could generate a checksum each time you generate a new kernel. If you need some pre-kernel checksum validation, that might be a problem though.

An alphabet isn't enough to describe some [stupid] bank password requirements (I do admit the banks are really the problem here though). Two banks I've worked with recently: * No consecutive digits, not your initials. Numbers cant

I agree with all these points completely, and I'd like to extend a bit more: * The criticism of cloud-based storage isn't really valid. Any decent password manager should only sync the encrypted data, and never move anything unenc

The low-res and low amount of RAM make it a completely different league compared to an MBP. Not sure which chromebook you have, buy they also tend to have quite smaller SSDs. Generally, chromebooks are modern netbooks (not saying that'

Gamer laptops tend to be very overpowered video-wise, and have much poorer battery durations. Either that, or they're very big and clunky.

MacBook Pro 2015. I've used ArchLinux on this with no issues. Used a 2013 MacBook Air before that, same OS (I actually used `ssh | dd` to just copy the image, rather than reinstall anything). The MBA needed non-kernel driver (which was

vi is pretty usual to find in a default installation, but Vim? Debian is the only OS I've come across that includes it (and aliases it to vi, for some stupid reason!). (Note: Vim user here)

Not quite the same in that saved history, password, etc are in separate profiles. Also, you can have tabs from different containers in a same window.

Not exactly. I've a "work" container that retains my work-related sessions (on gmail, issue tracker, etc). So if I come back yesterday, I open a work container and I'm back to work. Meanwhile, my personal container won&#

Awful timing for this sort of announcement -- the same day they programmed a one-hour downtime for a deploy.

I agree that self-hosting audience is probably small for this, but open sourcing also changes its image and workflow a bit. I'd much rather pay for a hosted FLOSS app, than a hosted closed source app (assuming similar capabilities). Be

Also of note regarding Buenos Aires: the city is quite dirty. Even it air is pretty bad. Most of the non-residential areas are very very noisy. Regarding the pros, I think they's been properly enumerated.

My electric bill has gone up about 500% in the last 3-4 years. It's still very damn cheap, especially compared to what people pay in many more advanced countries.

From what I understand, it won't work in the sense that it'll either crash or outright fail to unhibernate completely.

If I want to change my number to a new SIM, my telco requires me to log in, and fill in a form. If I forgot my password their email it to me. They don't have any offices open to the public, nor any hotline, and are really the cheapest
