Pretty nice, but only supports one server.

Been a while since I knew anybody that worked at McDonald's... But while I was a lifeguard in college, one girl quit the lifeguarding to get more hours at McDonald's. They were much much better at tailoring her hours, and others

Syncthing can work. You don't get the centralized server though. Well you can run it on an always on system. I'd like this to be a VPS, but the files sit on the VPS in clear text. I like syncthing as it syncs file mode bits as w

Gnome has been really pissing me off lately. Simple things, like adding app that start on login need a "Tweak" tool? How silly is that. With the upgrade to Fedora 29 I thought I'd try KDE. Its got a lot of the features I miss

Say I’m forced to use Ubuntu. But my favourite distro is Fedora, should I use the supported Fedora kernel on Ubuntu. ;)

I currently have Fedora 28 installed on a T470 and a T480s and it’s pretty flawless. Not the sexiest laptops out there, but they seem pretty good for Linux.

What is the root of all the Microsoft distrust? I’m older, and left Windows for Linux back in 1997 and haven’t really paid attention since. I wonder if this mistrust is valid? Are they any worse than Apple?

No. The hack that is better at advertising himself will get the higher paid consulting gigs.

I’m a full time paid open source developer. About 40% of my time is reviewing pull requests these days. Most of these are meaningful contributions. And while it can be a pain in the ass it is community building.

Probably silly, but I pretty much only use Chrome for the custom/compact title bar on Linux. On smaller screens it gives me more vertical on the content.

Unless you need to spin up OpenBSD and FreeBSD instances with an almost like Docker workflow. That’s where I use Vagrant still.

This is unfortunate. I chose Crashplan initially due to great family pricing, but more importantly as it had a Linux client. Given I backup Linux home server, a Linux desktop and a Linux laptop this has been its killer feature for me.

2 things keep me on Chrome. First, the overly large titlebar on Linux. I've tried some addons to make it more like Chrome but they all look like shit. And second, the dev tools. I find dev tools in Firefox clumsy to use. I believe I or

One thing I do way less in my 40s is over engineer a solution, or worry about all possible someday maybe use cases of a class many Java developers seem to like to design for.

Sure. But it means I can write device drivers up to a single page application UI.

I miss it. Planes are also getting rid of their screens. Yeah, I should have known when we went on our last family vacation. So my wife and I watched movies are on our phones over the wifi system. Know what sucks? Can't charge and use

I also use a ScanSnap. An S300 I got back in 2009. Completely worth it if you scan then shred all your documents. Ever few months I'd pull out some old files and put a podcast or something and scan a few hundred sheets.

Your not. I'm 42, I still love to code and am in the very early stages of planning a startup or something like it and am just excited about it as when I did a startup when I was 29. Keep learning. Find a couple things you can become an

Kinda related to some of the discussion. Is there anywhere within 2-3 hours of the Bay Area where one could start a company yet have a normal house with a normal yard for a family?

I've suffered called hands, fingers and wrists which in turn has made them sore, right up my forearms. I tried gloves and stuff - part of it might be that my home office is in the basement and I live in a climate that sees -30C. Anyway

Developer here and just about to turn 42. It helps if you can find a niche where you are a subject matter expert, hopefully a subject matter that is going to be relevant for some time. Keeps me out of the rat race of which tech to learn nex

Rust. I think its got everything I want in a replacement for C. Plus the project I'm working on is considering using Rust to replace C for parsing untrusted input. I just need to get past the syntax.

Algorithms perhaps. Not necessarily known them all off hand, but at least knowing the existence of a variety of them so you know when to use them. Of course this can be done with self study as well.
