Hetzner has been allowing a lot of spam lately and doing nothing about it, so I've been blocking it for all my clients. Something to consider. If you send email, it may be blocked.

Download doesn't seem to work. The VMware download area closed in late April, and can't seem to download Fusion now. The replacement store doesn't seem to be available yet. I'm using Parallels and it is great on an Apple

Loading time is not an issue for me. I run tmux so my sessions stay alive and performance is very quick. M2 MacBook Air with 16GB RAM, using Warp terminal. Using OMZ with Dracula Theme and mosh for remote servers.

Electric car range varies widely depending on how you use it and conditions, regardless of which car brand or model you use. Our family has a Nissan Leaf and a Tesla Model 3 and both ranges vary widely depending on how you drive. Driving at

Wow this article is so wrong in my experience. $50/month for my Nissan Leaf vs $200/month for a Honda CR-V, charging at home.

This looks interesting, but a better option in my opinion is to use the Local app (on Mac) to install a lightweight VM running WordPress in seconds. Then you have all the tools, for example phpmyadmin and MySQL database management, all runn

This is exactly why I stopped using Linux as my personal computer many, many years ago. I could do it, yes, but just got tired of spending hours fixing random weirdness. I have work to do! Love, love love it on servers, and have many. But I

I meant to add that Luma Fusion also runs on the M1/M2 Mac as well as iPad.

Pay the cancellation fee and learn from it, to read the terms and conditions before you buy. Then in the future, depending on your needs, use alternative applications, like many of the excellent Affinity programs such as Affinity Photo (vs

And did you report it to Tesla by pressing the button on the screen? I thought not. Oh wait, they didn't actually turn on Full Self Driving, so the whole "test" is bogus. Disingenuous.

I’ve run the Windows ARM beta on my M1 MacBook Pro 13” and it boots quickly, runs fast and well, under Parallels. Office works good too. I had assumed that since this was a beta, that a regular ARM release would be coming soon, but apparent

I've been using Linux for more than 20 years. For many years it was my primary computer platform, until I moved to the Mac. I recently put the latest Ubuntu LTS Linux on a spare laptop, as I needed a laptop. Sure, it was fun configurin

I’m not sure why he is singling out Apple. All the services scan cloud content for child porn, like Google, Microsoft, Apple, etc. Apple is not looking at images, it makes a hash of the images and then looks to see if they match known child

I tried Sublime Text a few years ago, and it was OK, but I’m still sticking with Emacs which is burned into my muscle memory. I can use it with or without a GUI (I never use the menu) like in a remote SSH command line. The thing that could

I never used Hypercard back in the day. But I recently started using Obsidian, and it has the idea of cards/notes and linking to them. It’s built on Markdown files, and you can use it for Zettelkasten if you wish. Linking notes (or eve

I put Elementary OS on my 2012 MacBook Air. I’m a very experienced Linux user, but in the past I had to fiddle a lot with things, especially on Mac hardware. It setup Ubuntu 18.04 very well, with wifi, Bluetooth, audio, ethernet, those are

Can’t you just pull the drive from the failed server, extract the DNS entries and build a new DNS server? It doesn’t sound like everything is broken, just that it is failing because the DNS server isn’t answering. Just install Linux on a ne

Works the same as an additional monitor- which is what it is. The Dummy Plug creates the second monitor thru native support in the OS. Deskreen connects your additional device to it via a web browser. I installed it on Ubuntu and had it wor

OK, I’m very handy with Linux and tried X11/VNC mods before to do this but with no success, and they were very complex. This - Deskreen - I ordered a dongle on Amazon, plugged it in, installed Deskreen with a single command and boom

You should try tmux over ssh over mosh. Your session lives on thanks to tmux. And mosh reconnects you automatically, even when your IP address changes ;-)

There is a “colored-man-pages” plugin for zsh, which I had turned on already, and promptly forgotten. I was puzzled because my man pages are already colorized ;-)

Your bias is showing. Good article overall, but you repeatedly state the Hunter Biden laptop story is false. Yet some of those in the email chain have verified authenticity of the emails. And how do you “fake” a whole Mac hard drive content

This is a very helpful reminder ;-) It’s not about you or about showing how smart you (think you) are, but about being helpful and helping others to grow.
