I am in Europe, and RIPE only has one fee regardless of your (ip-range) size... so YMMV...

The more secure solution is to become a LIR ("internet provider") yourself and use one of your own adresses (which is yours as long as you pay the fee to the RIR (registry)). But that is a very expensive solution. Think thousands

In systemd you can have multiple ExecStarts, which will be run in order (if I remember correctly), and ExecStopPost is brilliant for notifying problems..

As an outsider with no insights (but owning a PineBookPro and considering a PinePhonePro), it surely looks like Manjaro is the king of the mountain - and that Martijn's blogpost is likely close to The Truth. Listening and doing your ow

Yes, running you own git is fine. A suggestion is to install Gitolite[1] and let that manage the repositories for you. The beauty of it is, that the config is a git-repo itself. I am not affiliated with Gitolite in any form except being a h

I hear you. I am self employed but try to mimic the standard 37-hour work-week of my country. Most weeks I do it 6x6 instead of 5x7,5ish... 6 hours feels more productive and 6x6 feels less hard than the normal 37 over 5 days...

I think because push notifications are annoying as hell, they only take the senders wishes into account and they make my systems light up like a christmas tree. I have begun to say NO with a 100% rate to them. E-mail on the other hand, land
