Might be easier to create a separate login? Some partners expect to share passwords as a trust thing, but my work does not allow it (and most personal devices have access to work stuff).

If using Gnome, using Sid is worth it. A lot of hate directed at Gnome is because of old versions, or distribution-specific hacks. I use the latest beta of Firefox for the same reason (as a webdev, worth it). Edit: the main risk with Sid is

Any suggestions for FOSS communities? I run a fairly big instance with hundreds of users. We wanted to support/promote a more free/libre alternative to Slack, but you are basically saying we should not use Mattermost? (I think tha

I was a paid user for some time. It's inexpensive and fun. I mostly paid to encourage them, and to be able to use it offline in the plane (it's a fun game). However, as most people, I haven't flown in a long time, so I cancel

If I recall correctly, you can do "docker run -p [::1]:80:80 .." (::1 is the equivalent to 127.0.0.1). Although I don't know at what point that will test your application. I guess it will at least make sure that it can handle

My ISP gives me a /56, and many provide a /48. That's huge. We are 4 people, each with 2-3 devices, and frequent guests on our wifi. Pretty sure such a database would be highly unreliable. And some ISPs rotate the allocated s

Cookies are used because people want to track users across networks. They might be on their mobile phone on home wifi, then on 4G, then at their office, etc. On IPv6, your OS should also enable the privacy extensions, so that your device ha

If you enable IPv6, and test it yourself (you can use an IPv6 tunnel if your ISP does not support it), then you should be able to quickly go over the main features of your site and see if you have any issues (IP logging, for example). It wo

I think the difference is having a leader vs shepherds. Most open source projects have shepherds who do a lot of invisible work. The project I work on has around 100 regular contributors, but also a few small teams, either volunteer or staf

Facebook will be like cigarettes. Legislated to death in some countries, preying on the vulnerable like vultures in other countries. Prospering.

Seconded. Happy OVH user here. We run 10 baremetal servers in CA and EU, using KVM, ZFS and "fallback IPs" so that we can move VMs around easily. Borg for backups to another provider. But yeah, because of clouds, old school sysadm

It's something you need to know. I have a Moonlander and had to print my layout on paper so that I could glance at it until I got used to it. Did a few adjustments, and eventually settled and enjoy it.

How is the experience on Mac? I was surprised it has only 2.54% market share (3x Linux). However, I agree that for the vast majority of folks, using a terminal is not an option. I played a few Steam games on Linux (not much of a gamer), hav

I often have (virtual) meetings with clients, and there may be 3-5 people of their team on the call, and I might have a colleague also there. To make sure meetings aren't a waste of time, each of our clients has a Gitlab space on our s

Montreal has more days where heat is a problem (ex: for elderly people), than when cold is a problem. There are a lot of efforts put into reducing heat zones, from too much asphalt, not enough trees, etc. (I once ran for borough council :-)

Yep, I agree. No silver bullet, and funding fossil fuels makes no sense (although part of me understand they want to avoid a situation such as in France, where it could could price hikes, inflation, and the population is not ready for it..
