I agree. I'm more DevOps, (really, just a dev that is super comfortable in an ops position) and my go-to distro has always been Debian, but nearly every position I've had has been supporting applications on Ubuntu. It wasn't

Gerrit and GitHub provide two different paradigms. If you want a straightforward answer, then yes Gerrit provides a number of extra features, but it isn't a replacement for GitHub.

We're obviously Min/Maxing charitable giving. Why would you give to a local soup kitchen where you can see the effects, and even donate time and labor when the cost/benefit ratio is so much less than giving money to far away

I used to love Ghostery, until I learned that their business model is to resell your browsing habits and profile back to advertisers. If you want a suggestion for an alternative, I really don't have one. I'm currently using µBlock

That's good for you, and I fully support your decision, but I wish to posit an argument about Sony and their numerous "debacles" over the past decade starting from the CD Rootkit. Do you remember when Sony went after GeoHot,

This is fairly off topic, but in case you cared, Ghostery's business model is to sell your browsing habits and blocked ads and blocked trackers data back to the people their extension blocks. They claim it's anonymized, and I&#x27

There are a number of open source discussion lists I've been subscribed to over the past decade (usenet, then Google Groups) that have recently migrated to hosted Discourse boards because of Google's lack of spam fighting tools. W

I find that the Man pages on BSD-derived systems are generally quite exceptional, where as GNU-based systems seem to be less so. `info` seems to be their attempt at making a better `man`, but it's pretty hit-or-miss if a Linux-based pr

USB PIDs aren't like NIC MAC addresses, two identical items (keyboards, webcams, etc.) are supposed to have the same PID in order for the OS to recognize them as being the same and to apply the same driver to them. The VID is just a na
