Virt Manager is fantastic. I've used it for more than a decade and it's been rock solid throughout. Being able to connect to my TrueNAS Scale server and run VMs across the network is the icing on the cake.

My parents have been on Fedora for years, through numerous version upgrades, without a single problem. I taught my mum to just trust the 'install updates' prompts and it's been fine. Of course I took care in buying a computer

I recreated my zsh setup in fish with about 10% of the config and just one plugin (fzf.fish). Nearly everything I want, fancy autocompletion, syntax highlighting, git-aware prompt just worked out of the box.

I thought this grey decor trend was a British phenomenon - glad it's not just us!

I totally could have run a cable through the wall and installed an extra access point - I was planning on running the cable anyway to connect the control unit via ethernet, until I found that it didn't have one (yeah, I should have che

Fair. But I strongly suspect nearly every house with a garage has the boiler in it. Edit. So having done a little research this probably isn't the case. Maybe it's a regional thing, all the (mostly suburban) houses I've lived

On a related note, I had a new boiler installed last year with Vaillant's smart controls. There's a little puck shaped 'control unit' with WiFi/radio which allows the app to talk to it, and it to talk to the thermos

Yeah, even if it's great my interest has waned.

The fact it's supported natively by GitHub gives it a huge advantage over the others.

We all watched local heroes at my house, Adam Hart Davies did such a good job of making the topics approachable, even for kids. Hard to believe it's a quarter of a century since it finished.

If you set your HISTFILESIZE to -1 Bash will keep your history indefinitely. > Non-numeric values and numeric values less than zero inhibit truncation.

I love this, quite a few of these made me laugh. It's like a modern take on Charlie Brooker's TVGoHome https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TVGoHome

Yeah but you'd be mad to value them equally.

I do find it frustrating on Wikipedia that when you click on the map to enlarge it the markers vanish. I understand why, but the hyperlink should be to a bigger map viewer, not the bare underlying image.

I'd use Nanoc for this kind of thing. It's more of a SSG kit and it's dead easy to write a rule + filter that, for example, takes every markdown doc in a directory and builds a pdf with Pandoc. https://www.nanoc.ap

I'd recommend trying GitHub Desktop. I've had plenty of success helping content designers get to the level where they can directly contribute to projects (instead of pinning a Word doc to a JIRA ticket).

If you teach a beginner to use GitHub Desktop lots of the complexities you mention above are smoothed over. The PR/MR is the biggest win, being able to comment on, discuss, suggest, resolve and 'sign off' changes works better

This seems sensible but I'm not sure it's going to be much simpler than git/GitHub. The syntax is quite close to git's --word-diff syntax The [-old-]{+new+} word is better

I've totally switched to the newer, dev-orientated variants for my work. fd, sd, ag/rg, fzf, bat, xh/httpie all work how I'd expect them to and I don't need any archaic knowledge. Plus, fish's autocomplete does

I might have used this yesterday when getting WireGuard working on a Google Chromecast. Moving the conf file to it, then picking finding and selecting it wasn't for the faint of heart. Once imported though, WireGuard works perfectly.

There's beanstalkd, it has a few Python libraries and it works out of the box with ActiveJob via Backburner. https://beanstalkd.github.io/

The debugging experience I had in Delphi 6-7 was still streets ahead of what I use today in Ruby.

It depends on whether you measure it by frequency or quantity. We lock people up for stealing a few pounds worth of food but people who make millions from corrupt business dealings, like Baroness Mone, will probably get a slap on the wrist.

I think that's more because Pinterest dominates the image results but you can't view things at a higher resolution without signing in. I certainly blocked Pinterest for that reason.

I use Excalidraw for this kind of stuff. It has the best interface of all the tools in its class and it's easy to create diagrams/flows/mockups that peope recognise are 'in progress', but still look great.

I think in the UK the most common burglary target is car keys. Like you say, the expensive home electronics are now cheap, VCRs and hi-fis are gone, and more and more people are driving premium (BMW/Mercedes/Audi) cars - on financ
