   I've been using Windows 10 LTSC (1809) on my x230 for several years now and never looked back. I also love OpenBSD as a desktop, unfortunately I need battery life and Windows is better optimized in that respect.

   In french these 2 usages are distinguished through "que/qui/quel" vs. "lequel". This phrasing is often seen in legal texts. You'd translate "The appellant made a motion which is now granted" with

   I swipe with my index finder, holding the phone with my other hand, and I find that fairly efficient.

   I still hit CTRL-S obsessively You better keep that habit when working in big MS Word files. It still randomly crashes and I've lost some amount of work several times due to this shit.

   I like it that the equivalent of 'git push' is 'got send'. Not sure if it's on purpose... Anyway I find these commands to be more intuitive than plain git. Hope it'll gets some traction.

    I'm not sure if GP was referring to a wireguard package or a tailscale one. But to complete the picture, there's also a tailscale package in OpenBSD's repos.

    Not so bad, but it shows you are sometimes translating english constructs to french words literally. FWIW I've recently used Michel Thomas method to learn a language starting from zero, and found I got comfortable building my own phras

    I'm French by the way. Incidentally the US has bombed my country well beyond what was justifiable. So you know, I fear much more the US's mad leaders than Putin. Good day

    Well you seem to spread simple minded technical arguments with no historical nor political depth whatsoever (nevermind acknowledge what the US is doing behind the scenes), which is essentially textbook Western narrative. War is war, deaths

    It's this XKCD that actually made me realise I was not alone, that it's a general phenomenon. I'd say I dream about this twice a year, being out of college for 11 years now.

    I'm pretty sure OpenBSD is (relatively) slow regardless of hyperthreading, Agree about NTFS-3g, it's next to useless. I've read somewhere that some optimizations are not enabled on OpenBSD. Still, I like it and use it on my l

    I use OpenBSD on my laptop, home NAS and webserver. It might not be ideal (performance wise, filesystem) but I don't have much time to learn and manage 3 different OSs (I do it in my spare time, ). I actually deliberately familiarized

    As a side note, Tailscale does not use the kernel implementation of Wireguard. Worth considering if you plan to replace your hand configured setup.
