Lack of proper remote desktop and a subpar experience with substitutes is what does it for me. My home network is full of Windows machines, and it's simply easier to be on the same ecosystem. I have a Linux VM for dev work where Window

Sometimes you need the content and for that I use browser reader mode or if the content is really good, subscribe via rss. If they don't have rss, use a service to build one for the site

"I put myself through the process and I expect others to as well". Resonates with me. I expect people to at least process things to a degree on their own so that we can have an intelligible conversation.

Or try a different role in the field... Instead of developing, try your hand at a BA role or BI role or a PM role

Subscribed! I am currently working on my own backyard conversion journey. Can you add what part of the world your garden is in the YouTube about? It would help me see what things would be relevant vs not in my area.

How would this happen if you kept the repo private? Private repos are free now and most of my toy stuff is private (maybe shared with a friend I happen to be working on it with)

You don't need a raspberry pi to run pihole... I have it running in a vm on a machine that is on 24/7 anyways. I installed dietpi as the OS and selected pihole in its install options. 10 min later it's up and running. No issu

I'm familiar with the web dev tools, but no clue about mobile. Can you point me in the right direction on how to do the same? Were you using an android emulator on desktop or there's some way to easily do this on android?

So what's a "best practice" if you ARE going to have these things in your home? Keep them on a guest network that doesn't have access to your private network? (with a separate device to control things)

On the other hand, there's Huawei that went with Advanced and Simple mode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcalxGyLE1w And for aging parents, the simple mode works fantastically!

Along the same lines, this doesn't work if one person is used to working rapidly and the other person takes their time to think things through. I found it only really worked best when I worked with another who worked at a similar pace

One of the best parts is the ability to add any FB, Instagram, Twitter users as a feed. BazQux automatically converts the user's feed into RSS and serves it up. No more having to go to FB for updates from various organizations that don

What about the fact that even the cheapest windows phone ran almost as smooth/fast as a flagship Android phone?

After Google Reader, I tried a bunch of different ones. Feedly was the best I could find but there were a number of things that just annoyed me. I had an issue with one of my feeds and got very little help from their support. That was the l
