I always clean my ears out with a bobby pin. Works much better than a qtip in my experience. Obviously make sure you are alone and in a place where you won't be startled or jostled or otherwise put yourself in a situation where you jam

My impression is that while Qt has quite widespread adoption, KDE is still pretty niche. The majority of that I'd guess is that Qt makes a point to be cross-platform. Gtk since 3.0 is pretty well Linux-only and content to stay that way

I was looking at our breaker box a few weeks back and realized that roughly half the circuits in our house are for the kitchen. I think something like 6 separate breakers. Our stove is on a 40 amp circuit. From my reading, 50 amp is pretty

I have a 24" monitor. Could be that people just have larger monitors than me. I always get the impression that people are just coding off their laptops all the time. 4k on a laptop seems like overkill.

Well it really doesn't. I was mainly asking for the conversation of it and to see what people had to say about the matter.

That post seems to be referring more to donating used books rather than buying a book for someone as a gift. Seems like a different topic entirely to me, but maybe I'm missing something.

I use pass and store all sorts of stuff in there. For instance, I have five years of tax returns saved in it. It's a simple, secure way to store them for easy retrieval later. To store: $ cat tax_return.pdf | pass insert -m taxes&
