Do you feel comfortable using cloud storage for so much of your content? My ideal is to be entirely self-backed-up. I want a personal git server, photo archive, etc. With bandwidth, service costs, vendor issues (dealing with google seems li

What do you prefer to Jira? At a former workplace we used Gitlab, which was a pleasant suite to use. These days we use Atlassian and often find myself incredibly frustrated by their products

speaking of this, is there a recommended way to run a windows binary within Ubuntu 18.04? I don't want to dual-boot windows because I read that installing windows after ubuntu isn't recommended, but I don't have experience ru

As a former child, I can't help but point out that one of the most common pitfalls parents make is to think that what's best for them is best for their kids. Being bored can take forms other than being locked in a car for hours on

I have a very active social life, so I've never once had an interest in getting to know my coworkers or spending time with them outside of the office. I work my hardest to keep my social interactions at work to strictly that which is u
