The use of "try and" is usually grammatically incorrect (when "try to" was meant).

I use a 43-inch 4K TV as a monitor located about 30 inches from my eyes. I've been using such for at least a decade, and would never return to a tiny porthole facing work of interest (such as a laptop, which is comically unsuited to se

I've been using inexpensive ~40-inch-diagonal 4K (3840×2160) televisions as monitors for quite a few years and will continue to do so. Current one is TCL 43S405 (wife commandeered the Sony 43X800E). A single monitor makes for far less

A totally crap HN headline: the referenced article refers transitively to "The Catholic Church in America". More than a small difference. Even the Economist headline fails to identify the subject America — north, south, or both. At least th

Vinyl is inferior to good (not lossy) digital. Using vinyl as a medium is daft. I do miss album covers. I don't miss the noise, defects, expense, and fragility. Good speakers are worth the money. Vinyl is not in any way worth any money nor

Add https://fedorahosted.org/scap-security-guide/ , which I will at some point attempt to warp into an Ubuntu checklist, since I have always thought concordance on at least some security posture settings should be distro-neutral, with dist

I haven't seen this problem on recent versions of Ubuntu (10.04, 12.04). fail2ban bans will preempt regular ufw rules (as they should).

No. The one in front of me still has a lot of life in it, as do the four monitors. I have yet to do any serious work on mobile devices, including laptops (except when tethered to large monitors and a keyboard). I expect the desktop will rem

I use a commercial hosting service which includes email. It provides as options SpamAssassin and Spamdyke, which work as well as can be expected. Spamdyke's graylisting does a nice job of keeping out much spam, more effectively than anythin

Glad to hear it. Discovery is always a lot of fun, regardless of latency. Don't stop there. There were/are many good musicians performing excellent work from the 1950s and 60s on. Please keep looking. I'll mention just a few I consider dese

It was worse. I started in the late 1960s. Information was not easy to obtain as it is now. The computers were not particularly limited (or so it seemed at the time), but there really wasn't any decent internet until the late 1980s. Things
