I've been on Mint Cinnamon for probably close to 10 years now after spending the first half of my career developing applications for Windows platform with MS tooling and backend. I saw the direction they were going with Win8 and made t

Well my previous Mint LTS install just went out of support so guess I'll be rebuilding and might be able to try Supernova. I hate the message list pane on the left but IIRC in the prerelease press they said you could swap the layout, s

I've been using Photoprism for perhaps 18 months, primarily as a basic way to categorize and browse my photos. Not a power user by any means but I found it easy to use and upgrade over time. I had a couple small issues like image delet

Mint Cinnamon has been so good to me as a daily driver since I left Windows when Win8 came along. My older watercooled i7-7770 mini-ITX 1060 GTS has been chugging along on 19.03 LTS for years, and I've adopted a complete ecosystem of L

The proliferation of gambling is driving me away from sporting events. I won't take my child to an event where gambling is repeatedly promoted front and center. Ditto for broadcasts and the excessive ads for FanDuel and whatever. Recen

Appreciate the feedback, glad to hear that I am an anomaly. The camera is on WiFi and I have a mesh network with multiple UniFi APs. Both get good signal where the camera is located. Even in the same room as the AP my max uptime is about 1

The Access Points, PoE switch, and firewall work fine. My only dissatisfaction has been the G3 camera. As others have stated its a big investment so not moving off the ecosystem today. However when its time to upgrade everything I will cert

No. At least not by default. I don't believe in pervasive surveillance however so I only really use it when away from home for extended periods.

I use UniFi devices throughout my home but the cameras (G3 specifically) are buggy and frequently disconnect, and don't auto reconnect. Basically useless. Over the year end holidays I was traveling and set one up to monitor my front ya

I had a similar issue and ended up deplatformed by FB. I hadn't logged in for a couple of years, but some friends had tagged me in an event photo. Figured I might go checkout what was posted over time. When attempting to log in, my pas

I have been using Thunderbird for so many years across a variety of platforms. Happy to see continued development while maintaining my ability to customize. I appreciate the ability to hide tags and local folders in the new interface. I loo

I use a Dymo to print bar code labels for inventory. With my current printer the Dymo labels are significantly marked up with no difference in quality. I've used thousands of third party labels with zero issues. I read about this recen

"When patents expire, you'll see many generics come onto the market at reduced costs, and cost to consumer goes down." This assertion is simply not true. A prime example - Insulin is 100 years old. Those who need it are payin

This system also made it impossible for me to ever log in again. It had been a few years since I used FB but some friends tagged me at an event, so I figured what the heck. I was presented with a system I had never configured, which asked

That's not accurate in any form. The Mustang was not a sedan, but a coupe, and Ford has not stopped making the Mustang in the current form. You can still order a GT500 with 12mpg city. They added an electric version, the Mach-E, which

Our 5yo daughter loves looking through our old paperback versions, but we generally won't read them to her yet as the story and comedy is way over her head in most cases. She can grow up reading them over time as I did daily in the pap

I still have 2 of these in my old hardware box. I used to run them at 4.5x100MHz on Abit BH6 single CPU mobo. Great way for me to bump performance as a poor CompSci student. And yeah, I ran SETI@home on them as well.

I agree with this sentiment but archive.org didn't work for me anyways, I got slightly farther down the page before the paywall obscured the content.

I actually see this on my home Dell 4K connected to a MBP13 via Thunderbolt to DP. It happens when I'm not using a chair (adjustable desk) but now I'm going to be very observant when sitting down. I'd lean towards my cable be

I used to drive down there from Portland to get parts that I needed right away. Haven't been there in years though, as it had definitely started going downhill in the early 2000s. I always hated the receipt checkers and used to walk ri

I work for a major cloud provider and I'm remote as is the majority of my team nationally. Teams are often distributed and even if I went to the local office there is nobody from related business units to talk to.

A couple weeks back we were on vacation in Hawaii, and one night at dinner the table of San Diegans next to us was having a rather loud and animated conversation. It seems they had rented out their property back home on Airbnb and they very

I'll anecdotally contribute in agreement. I live in Portland and put all my returnables at the curb with recycling. Not worth driving to a return center to get $2 a month. The bottles are usually gone by 6am when I wake up. Some local
