   I haven't seen it mentioned, but there's also dedicated computer eye-wear. My eyesight is 20/20, but I did start suffering from some eye fatigue and dryness recently. What worked for me was a pair of cheap computer glasses of

   This is probably the right answer. Outbound bandwidth fees are essentially a form of "exit tax" that makes it more costly to use resources outside the cloud (like other clouds). It's there to lock you into your current cloud&

   Thanks. I had one of those. My problem with it was that it wasn't as convenient as a good ergonomic keyboard.

    I'm not a fan of UHK's layout (or its name), but having the ability to add a trackpoint/touchpad module to the keyboard sounds like a killer feature. I honestly don't understand why only laptop keyboards can have nice po

    It's not pointless at all. It accurately reflects the situation of buying a device off the shelf long after its official end of life.

    In this day and age, I'd recommend consulting with actual security professional for organizations as public as political parties. Short of that, make sure to (at least) cover the basics: - Ask everyone to use a trusted password manager

    Dogfooding isn't a silver bullet. Remember Google Buzz [0]? It's been used successfully within Google for a while before being released. It turned out to be a disaster partially due to the fact that it was built (or iterated on) w

    rclone is great, but it doesn't have the same level of sync capabilities as Dropbox or Mountainduck (supposedly).

    Thanks for the suggestion, but Mountainduck doesn't seem to have a Linux version. Is there something similar for Linux?

    I like the idea of Skip Redirects and Smart Referer, but I feel they aren't worth the risk. They're not popular extensions (11K and 6K users respectively) and aren't being reviewed by Mozilla. I'm certainly not going to

    While I generally agree, I'd like to point out the fact that observing the elections in a western democracy is nothing like observing the elections in a country like Belarus where the president has been in power since 1994. The electio

    This is obviously a nitpick, but when I head the word "boom" in relation to planes, a sonic boom isn't the first thing that pops into my head. Is it just me?

    The very definition of stable is "not changing". Running an old, battle hardened kernel that gets the occasional bug fix/security patch is about as stable as you can get in software.
