Due to all the recent BSD posts I have spent the past month exploring NetBSD and OpenBSD. Really enjoying the journey and finding that I can do everything I am currently doing easily on both.

I gave up after three attempts. Ends too fast for me to find where I am on the screen. I might checkout again if I have time.

I still listen to a lot of prog rock as well as classical, more than I did when I was a teenager or in my 20s. But I also occasionally listen to current popular music with my teenage daughters. Some of it I like, some I do not, but myself

From what I can tell there is no actual code with this ebook. It is just posts from Reddit with coding ideas. This post should be removed.

that whole page looks very sketchy. Charging for it no less, I see a take down by Microsoft coming.

There was a period of time where I thought I was the only one who remembered this show. I had the toy spacecraft as a kid and loved it.

If you have anxiety and cannot sleep, of course caffeine is probably not going to help. Unless I missed it, he never addresses his bowel issue.

Very much agree with you and my first thought was, who has that much drama at work? If you do, the employer or the type of the job is the problem.

I left Chrome 10 years ago and have been a happy Firefox user. I think this article is clickbait. I know more and more people using Firefox.

I setup several folks over the years with Linux on their laptops. Usually after they ended up with malware or other oddities on their Windows computers multiple times. I would always ask them what they do on their computers, usually it wa

how would an egg and bacon burrito be considered toxic? Maybe not good for a dog, but toxic?

I work for a hospital and we just phased out our pagers this past year for some staff. Honestly, I am glad they are gone. I hated carrying the extra device. But I see the advantage for physicians. Pagers absolutely work everywhere.

I have had been WFH since 2008 and I recommend adding a treadmill to whatever standing desk you choose. I also agree with keeping it cheap, unless you have a reason you cannot stand or walk I would skip the expensive chair. I have a cheap

The site does not look fancy but it delivers. Everyone complaining about someone using that page, why? I have adblock on so maybe it looks far worse for others. But I just see straight up headlines for each topic and it looks current. I

The exact same thing happened on an old blog of mine. They mirrored the content and changed all the links to ad links. I asked them once to take it down but received no response. I just ignored it and eventually they let the domain expir

So go work for a hospital and clean up their IT. I see shit like this and wonder what you consider USEFUL. Because working for healthcare would be useful, but it is not the same as saying that you work for some hot startup.

It is very interesting to me that Linux desktop is beating ChromeOS. Not sure what the stats were 10 years ago, but I do not think MacOS or Linux were that high.

Sure the article is suspect, but I have to kind of believe Windows market share has dropped considerably in homes. When I visit my son at college I see way more Macs and the only tablets I see are iPads. Yes Windows has the business world

Currently refreshing some of my programming knowledge. Also reviewing my math skills. I tend to do each of these things periodically to refresh some of the knowledge I might not use so much anymore. Currently thinking of some side projec

I was remote with HP for years, doing SysAdmin work. Then I changed job, went back to the office and slowly went a few days a week remote, then went fully remote during the pandemic. The company learned they could save a bucket ton of money
