I used to use the Sawfish window manager ... before it fell out of maintenance, oh and before I switched to DEs with the window manager bolted on. The thing I miss the most from Sawfish is that it let me resize any window. There are a lot o

I appreciate the lack of "talk to a lender" wall. Compare https://whathemortgage.com/ ← similar, for Dutch mortgages. It supports both annuity and linear interest structures. Also open source which might help you!

88x31 is the size for such badges established in the early 1990s. These days it might need to be pixel doubled to look vintage.

I am in your target audience! I can live from payday to payday on any salary. My only savings are mandatory pensions and my only asset is home equity. It's not recklessness or stress avoidance. I would not have to work anymore if I ha

This is catastrophic. I can't count the number of science and documentary programs they produced over the years. Revolution is overdue.

I have essential workflows using x2x, xev, and xdotool. Apparently this kind of stuff is contrary to Wayland's security model, so I'm stuck on Xorg, and I'm ok with that.

Backups should be far away, too. Apparently some companies lost everything on 9/11 because their backups were in the other tower.

Here in the Netherlands, via my bank I can list all of my pre-approved transfers and block them. I'm pretty sure every bank here is required to support this. PayPal also has this feature. I recently had to cut down on expenses starting

I like how the headline is truncated. I was thinking of 'seen' or 'taken' but turns out it ended with 'shared'.

I tried nose strips but I don't like disposables. I now use silicone nostril openers - two little tubes attached at the base that you stick up your nose. It came as a set of 4 sizes so a bit of waste there, but one size fit me and one

There's a way to walhalla. Infrastructure, training, and liability laws prime the pump. When almost everyone is a cyclist, every driver knows that any cyclist could be a friend or family member. Or themselves. Also... The Dutch reach.

Yes! Just use an app to say where you want to go, and it tells you which of the 3 nearest bus stops to go to, and you get where you want to go reasonably quickly. No bus routes, just dynamic allocation and routing based on historical and up

In high school I was all math>physics>chemistry>biology. So I didn't take biology. Much to my peril. I didn't learn that I wasn't just a brain on a stick until I was 25! At some point "The Inner Life of the Cell

I once sent my credit card number to Cliff Stoll by sending 2 16-digit numbers from 2 email addresses to 2 email addresses. The sum was my CC.

I can't imagine 147 tabs. I have 9 pinned tabs and maybe ... 6 other tabs open if I'm particularly busy. I also turn off my work laptop at the end of the day, because all of my state is restored when this handful of tabs comes bac
