I changed the way I wrote my y's (now very curly) and z's (now crossed) in college while studying math after realizing I was making silly mistakes changing y's to x's and z's to 2's.

I've been using Jekyll for my blog for nearly 10 years now. I also recently wrote a little plugin that uses SQLite, though I'm using it in a minimal way as a vector database rather than storing content in it right now. https:&#x2

VS Code takes an opinionated view of this with "dev containers". Other IDEs (including JetBrains) have support as well. It's probably worth looking into a little, whether you decide to use them or not, to understand why they

On a related note, the number of HTTP 404 errors I see to /wp-login.php on my static website is ridiculous. (But absolutely not security risk.)

Shift-click (on the last photo) to select bulk photos works in the web interface. Not sure you can do all at once but you can probably do hundreds at once.

Same thing happened to me. 10 years ago using Linux on the Desktop was tricky but worth it for me. Now it's almost the opposite, my Linux desktop feels smooth and unobtrusive compared to Windows, and rarely has any problems!

https://www.mikekasberg.com Some programming stuff, some totally random stuff, and lately some 3D printing stuff! I think my most well-known post is a how-to for encrypted dual-boot in Ubuntu: https://www.mikekasberg.

Crap like this makes my Linux desktop (Gnome on Ubuntu) feel nice in comparison. As the mainstream players have added more bloat/ads/etc (e.g. ads in the start menu) over the last N years, and the Linux desktop has gotten more mat

I had bumped mine up once before (to 200K) and I just bumped it up again to 600K. But my wife (registered several years ago, like me) was still at 5K, I just bumped hers up too. Wish Bitwarden would force this for anyone still on an old def

I've found recently that walking into the local Walmart, Costco, or grocery store is a better experience than shopping on Amazon, and I increasingly try to do it instead. Need a spatula? You could look on Amazon and hope you get someth

You should look into a Dell Latitude. Specifically, look for one with Intel Graphics (for better Linux compatibility and battery life). I'd personally go for a 74xx model. They work great with Linux, in my experience. They're also

It's unfortunate that there aren't better solutions for securely exposing a part of your home network to the cloud. Imagine if it were easy to set up a secure solution to access your home lab from anywhere - you could use it as yo

It's a reasonable question. I've run Linux as my primary OS for years, and I have no desire to run Windows as my primary OS. (Linux is what I'm used to.) My primary goal with the Windows partition was gaming, so it made more

Agreed! To build on your point - I used to teach Algebra 1 in a Title 1 school. What many people don't realize about "memorizing math facts" in elementary school is that if someone doesn't have a basic level of numeracy,
