Small, minor suggestion: maybe there are free, open source tools that are equivalent to what your wife might be expected to know...you being a techi can spin up some of these free tools, and she can gain some - though minimal - experience..

Thansk, and agreed, i am learning ansible but won't be going too deep. If my job was in Ops/sysadmin/SRE then i would learn it more...but at that point it would be needed for resume and not just to learn as a hobby anyway. S

My journey of managing my dotfiles is still early days, but I have mine hosted in a private github repo. Of course, even via a private repo, i assume that the moment something leaves my machine it is not as private nor as protected as i wou

I feel somewhat torn on folks having a blog hosted on {user}.github.io; well, at least an indie blog. One of the fun points of having an indie website is not depending/nor hosting it on a centralized service...though, i can totally ack

I haven't watched CNN via TV for years, mostly because i cut the "normal TV" cord years ago. Although back when i did have regular and cable TV, i actually liked it the best as far as Tv News was concerned. For several years

You might be right! Either way, I sure hope they learn something, and better that they do something!

There used to be some sort of frequent "Expo" - which was more of a flea market to me - that took place in Secaucus, NJ...and i bought plenty of components and a PC computer or two there back in the early 2000s. Nowadays, i just a

OMG, i ran into this issue and what fixed it for me was...increasing the font size! Slowly over the last couple of years i have been increasing the font size everywhere (because my eyes are aging!)...and then i started using Geany - which i

That sounds vaguely familiar...then again, there are many things from the late 90s/early 2000s web development that i wish to forget. ;-)

As @fsflover noted, there is Linux as an option...But i'll do you one slightl;y better: try Ubuntu Mate. This is a specific "type" of Linux. This is a distribution of Linux named Ubuntu with a desktop environment named Mate.
