How old are you?

That really is one hell of a hot take 😀

I for one really love the zoomed out preview on the right that has become popular in recent years.

Really hard to do in a terminal. If you have errors you can see very fast where they are located/clustered in the file and can already tell just by the shape of the program where it is.

Another example: GUI color picker directly in my editor as a tooltip above color values in css/html templates.

Another example: inline preview of latex or Template fragments.

That’s why you do regular restore tests on separate systems. That should be standard procedure for any company. A fully encrypted disk should be noticable immediately.

If your backups are online and not in a warehouse, you are doing it wrong. Even my own personal backups are on disconnected disks. What a bunch of amateurs.

Which is completely fair to say but does not mean that people here should shit on windows users in general. If it works for them, let them do their thing.

I get what you mean but please read the study: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s41347-023-00304-7

They themselves note that the very small sample size would be an issue. They say they would need 78 people for even remotely confident results, then they initially targeted 74 people, of which 20 dropped out.

Let me be clear that I too want to believe that social networks are bad for people, but studies like this one do very very little to provide any meaningful data to base my opinion on.

Sample size, 50 students. Lol nothing to see here. This has no value whatsoever.

If you are not saving things to a remote location, you will lose all your shit in a flood or fire. Remote storage has gotten cheap enough to make it practical.

Hetzner storage boxes cost 3.8€/month for 1TB, which is more than enough for the important things people have.

Backblaze is 70$/year for unlimited data.

Obligatorische Erinnerung daran dass Bayern im Jahr 2023 kein einziges Windrad gebaut hat weil die CSU alles blockiert.

Fick dich Söder.

For a handful of servers, try zabbix. Every distribution has a packaged zabbix agent. It has everything: web ui, a way to Auto discover things with a bit of setup, nice graphs, alerting, LDAP User Management if you need it, a way to define per person/group alerting/notification schedules. And the community is big enough that many common services (fail2ban/postfix/MySQL/etc.) have premade custom monitoring scripts. Adding your own metrics is also very easy.

I want it to continuously adapt to my ever changing interests. That’s one of the major features for me.

Because I get a non-toxic personalized YouTube feed that does not suck…

Honestly by far the best subscription I have.

13€/month to never see ads on any device, give a lot more money to creators and free access to YouTube music so I don’t need Spotify anymore. It’s amazing how much you get for comparatively little money.

Wäre ich nicht dieses Jahr fertig mit Kinderkriegen, würde mich die Neuregelung des Elterngeldes betreffen. AMA.

Generell bin ich ja der Meinung dass ich gerne mehr Steuern zahlen würde, aber man sollte in diesem Fall lieber die 2.8 Milliarden Subventionen für die Tierhaltung oder die 20 Milliarden für die Kohleindustrie ansägen anstatt Kinderkriegen noch unattraktiver zu machen.

Für uns wäre das Wegfallen des Elterngeldes ein Verlust von 21k€. Nicht tragisch aber Schmerz natürlich trotzdem weil unabhängig vom Einkommen Geld trotzdem meist mehr oder weniger “verplant” wurde und es am Ende trotzdem wegfällt mit einem Kind. Dann lieber permanent höhere Steuern für Gutverdiener für die Planungssicherheit.

For personal use, I don’t bother with databases on k8s. They are waaay easier to manage if you just let your host distribution run it as a regular service and Upgrade it through that
