I think I've successfully managed to "beat" procrastination by adopting the pomodoro technique. I've shipped software for years now. What I've come to realise however is that the brain/body can only do so much

Do you remember what sort of validation you had setup (if any)? e.g. SPF, DKIM, IP from reputable block, etc. I'm curious to what degree this can potentially be mitigated.

> decent cooper is lower maintenance This is interesting. Do you have a reference for that? Everything I've read seems to claim that fibre is lower maintenance than copper -- but I'd love to read something to the contrary.

Thank you! You won't believe that I've been looking for just this tool for the last several months (I've been searching along the lines of "i3 status bar for gnome-shell" but was unsuccessful).

At least in Debian-based distros, the CLI version ships with the ``keepassxc`` package. I've used it on the odd occasion for password retrieval, and I can confirm it worked for my needs. You can find the manpage to give you some indica

In my opinion, Emacs is the only piece of software that I've ever used that is truly self-documenting. Once you learn about Ctrl+h {c,f,v} you can "lookup" what every key-combination, function and variable does. I don't

That would be a massive amount of work. In my opinion, Purism correctly limited the scope of the original proposal -- a FOSS phone that can make calls, and send messages (and maybe use a web browser?). libhandy (the library that allows GTK

Sorry, but I don't agree with your premise in this case. How is adding another competitor a bad thing? If Amazon offers Internet via LEO satellites, and SpaceX does the same, and you have your regular telecoms using copper lines, and s

I'd disagree (I agree with the original post). Apache 2 requires a patent grant and I've heard very few instances of this license being avoided (besides the OpenBSD folk). I really do think the fear of GPLv3 comes from the anti-Ti

This is such a loaded topic, but here's a few points: - I wonder if you can place bets against this happening. If you truly believe that civlization will collapse by 2030, then money will be of no use to you in 2030. However, if you&#x

I don't think it's that simple. The VC money itself comes from places like retirement funds. Also the mania surrounding startups and how much money could be made has had an effect on the public markets -- whether it's adding

I started using the Pomodoro technique a few years ago, and I've successfully shipped 3 (almost 4) FOSS projects since then. The hardest part is getting started. It's surprising how much work gets done with only 30 minutes a day,

In my opinion this is a bad documentary. I see a lot of praise for it, but I see nothing but a disjointed, hard-to-follow argument, that feels like its backed by no (or irrelevant) facts. I leave the documentary feeling less enlightened, an
