This is not at all what he said, he refuses to use (learn) it because of ideological reasons. That is not the same. I can relate to some extent.

You and I are quite alike it seems, Linux always on some device, server, laptop since 1997 - Debian is home. I do tolerate Windows to some extent however, it doesn't bother me too much. But that might be the gaming nerd inside talking.

Typically they wouldn't do these jobs, the copper net was already on it's way out by that time in favor of fiber optics and the entire landline system was on maintenance at that point. I left shortly after and these days, now they

I am also interested in self-hosting, I really dig the design and interface but not being able to self-host is a no-go for me. Discourse is just terrible overall and the only other real alternative is xenforo which is extremely pricy.

Somewhat related but not really. Back in 2007 when I worked for a large ISP as a second line support technician for various services, ADSL was very much still in vogue. And the technology, over copper wire, had a max distance of where it wo

I don't quite get this, I've been using Debian-esque Linux since like 1997 in various forms and have had problems with apt-get/apt maybe five times since then in total and it's always fixable with a little work. I'v

Working from home does not mean being isolated, the two aren't the same. Being isolated from the office and spending less time on travel means that you have more time to spend on friends and hobbies.

I've been using Micro for quite some time, with some configuration and addons it becomes very comfy and it's enough for me most of the time. I miss some features though but they are probably more of addons than core features.

Well, you've just said it yourself. You used the word "session". There really is no such thing for some of us, the browser is permanently open and also opens the same tabs again if the browser has to be closed for some reason

I recently started reading House of Leaves, I'm not done with it but I'm captivated by it so far. It's a very weird horror/love story that is unlike anything I have ever read before.
