   A few things I have done or are in progress: Changing my preferred technology stack from debian(linux)/java/scala to openbsd/rust, and adding sqlite to my postgresql use. I'm becoming (I think) a better husband & p

   But, full disclosure: printing and some peripherals or specialized apps might require additional setup. Like, with OpenBSD I don't have (or need) bluetooth support. But a person can probably find someone, online or in person, to help

   I would feel lost w/o my GTD-like system (from what I understand anyway). My daily routine (like a "self-program") with tasks, priorities, calendars, notes for review, habits in process of being formed, everything all smooth

   Folks here might be interested in FamilySearch.org, where you might be able to find really interesting stuff about yourself. They are building a single (genealogical) family tree for humanity, it is free, they allow storing photos, storie

   I have personally seen many examples that make me agree with this. Really, if someone wants to get off the Microsoft/Apple financial/technology/control/they-own-your-technology-and-you-cant-always-make-your-own-decisions

   I really think we are not competent to manage this, but it is great that we try, kudos to all who make the honest/good effort, and we really can be OK. Truly make an ongoing effort to practice honesty and treat others the way you wo

   ps: FWIW, I made a script and the line with "progress" works on a single line now, not sure what I was doing wrong before. My contact info is in the footer of the web site noted in my profile, if it sounds useful. But the main l

    I use OpenBSD (they are the maintainers of OpenSSH which provides scp), and watch one of its mailing lists, and it seems like they are encouraging disuse of scp for security reasons as mentioned elsewhere here. The Fedora-related discussio

    FWIW here is how I replaced scp commands in my scripts with sftp. (If there is a better way of course I am interested.) OLD: scp $FILE "$USER_AT_HOST:/home/username/dir1/" NEW (a single embedded newline or E

    Much important change happens one individual at a time. So I would say: 1) Honesty (with kindness). 2) Treating others the way oneself would want to be treated (the Golden Rule). 3) Be observant for anyone doing anything good & prai

    Agreed. Another way to put it: 1) Honesty. 2) Treating others the way oneself would want to be treated (the Golden Rule)--from this one can derive testing, the right amount of documenation, observing, communicating, working well with oth

    Edit: I also treat email like a to-do list, but it defers to my knowledge management system (linked in my parent comment) which tries to be complete like the OP suggests, but is AGPL, and has a similar but broader vision (not all features p

    The best I have found is ... not like sticky notes, but rather to form a habit of using lists, a few alarms, and a calendar (and anki or the like), using whatever tools (such as my http://onemodel.org , but there are many choice

    For what it may be worth, I made a comment elsewhere in this discussion page (you could Ctrl-F for my username) about my belief that life indeed does not end at mortal death but is ongoing. Knowing stuff about that really helps relax about

    I do in fact believe life is eternal: that we began before birth, this life has a purpose (an important preparation step, in some ways), & it doesn't end at our mortal death. There is the whole science vs. religion debate, or one

    Thanks for the comment and link, and your moderating influence. I hoped my comment was a gentle mention that things can be OK and why. But some see that as selling snake oil. I hope >1 POV is allowed, and hopefully I can learn better.

    Upvoted, because if I have to use linux, Debian is still it (or devuan). I like to learn things that will be long-term useful and then put those learnings to use before starting over, and Debian has been best for that in my many years of L

    I agree with the prioritizing and need to be rounded, and have thought a lot about the details of that. I have written a bunch, hopefully skimmable and detailed at my simple (no JS still) site: http://lukecall.net/e-922337

    I don't think we are competent to solve this when we can't generally trust each other to keep our word, and especially when we have rejected the specific advice of the planet's Creator. I realize many will think that is silly

    To me by far the best thing is to have an enduring, joyful, worthwhile, good purpose in life, that drives everything else (including maintaining one's health, balance etc), about which I have written a lot at my simple site (no JS etc)
