I have the USPS notification service [1] where they send me an email with a scan of all my incoming mail. I look forward to seeing what this one looks like. [1]: https://www.usps.com/manage/informed-delivery.htm

I use Atuin, but unlike the author actually find it more valuable since I use it across many machines. I have 7 different machines (of various make and OS though all *NIX) in my house right now that I regularly SSH in to or use directly, an

I appreciate that the journey might be the destination here, but you really don't need to do this anymore if the goal is to play games on Linux. Valve et al. have done so much Proton work that nearly every game I try just works. Aside

Google Fiber was announced for Austin in 2013, and 12 years later it's still not available at my Austin address. I have used AT&T Fiber for as many years and it works great (currently at 2G symmetrical for $105/m).

The article is claiming that clocks that only show time truncated to a minute are off by an average of 30 seconds, which just isn't true in practice. When I say or hear 11:30, I assume it can be within 11:30:00 and 11:30:59. Humans rar

I've only accidentally (via a GeForce Now trial before I gave Steam Remote Play another try) played a video game on a Windows computer in the past two years. The only games that routinely cause problems are those with ridiculous kernel

What did you name the dog? This never happened to me, but if it did I couldn't resist giving it a Christmas themed name.

Yes, they're the feeling of Christmas I remember most fondly.

Merry Christmas! I had rented Final Fantasy 7 from Blockbuster so many times that my brother decided to get it for me for Christmas. Even though I never really snooped for presents he decided to mess with my head and wrapped it in two large

You may want to look into the Doctor's Trial at Nuremberg for why governments cannot be trusted to make decisions for citizens in the name of "public health".

I appreciate that you've changed it and truly wish you luck! An alternative that would've have made me immediately uninstall would be to just block those account-requiring features behind a login. Not even letting me get a local Z

I remember seeing this terminal emulator, deciding to give it a shot to see what the deal is, and being asked to sign in. I have never uninstalled a program faster in my life. I think I'll just stick to iTerm.

I've become a lot more positive on Go over the years. I tried it a few times starting from when it was released and always found some roadblocks that aggravated me enough not to keep going except for toy projects. They've pretty s

They are DRM free, but you are still only buying a license to the game which can likely be revoked under the terms of that agreement.

As I said, offering both is the ideal. I'd rather have some false positives if it means a way forward without kernel rootkits becoming the new normal.

Ubuntu was never a non-Snap distro. It was always a distribution provided by Canonical wherein they make decisions for you based on their own criteria. Snap became one of those decisions. I can't help but think of "Open Source is

If you don't like Snap, use a distro that doesn't use Snap. If you pick a Snap distro it's just making your life harder for the sake of being difficult. This applies to many things in Linux world in addition to Snap: - system

Ubuntu has been my favorite distro since I first tried it from one of the CDs ages ago. It was probably 5.04 or 6.06. I've used it off and on since then on desktops and servers. Since the middle of 2022 I started using it in place of W

Would prohibiting such speech make the hate go away, or would it actually embolden the hate while allowing it to fester clandestinely, making it harder to prepare for if it comes to a head?

It may be of note that Schenck was used by the government to argue that speech exhorting people to burn their draft cards was not protected speech. Spare me the "clear and present danger to democracy" nonsense. ETA: It has also be

I'd categorize Clojure as stable but niche. It's not nosediving in popularity, but I don't think it's growing by leaps and bounds either. Many libraries are also stable, in the sense that they are finished - sometimes pe
