I don’t have any statistics, but I’ve heard that OpenBSD has more dogfooding than FreeBSD.

Is this like when Idi Amin called himself King of Scotland?

Congrats on the electrician apprenticeship program! As a swede I know how seasonal affective disorder can be, winter depression, it’s dark all the time, and cold. But, it won’t last forever.

You can do it, each day is one day closer to the end (of january). If things seem bleak now, don’t rule out that it can change in the future.

For most computer users, the OS itself isn’t the hobby. It’s a tool that lets them do things like writing, browsing, drawing, gaming, etc, projects of various kinds, concurrently simultaneously for reasons unknown, in a word using their computer. It does not help them to say that ed(1) is the standard editor and that vi is bloated.

If Hungary is against it, it’s probably something that will be good for the EU in general.

I had to call my ISP when the connection was glitchy, and after a while they paused and asked “how many bits are in a byte?” and I said eight and then they were like “ok, let’s troubleshoot this, first do this…” etc. Turns out, someone had hammered a nail straight through the cat5 cable to fasten it to the wall.

Mint is a solid choice.
Ps. My (unsolicited) advice is this: at any time, make sure you have at least one computer that works.

It matters if future security guarantees are conditional on Ukraine not attacking Russia. If Russia can claim they were attacked without any fact checking now, they might do the same in the future when it matters more. Showing Russia that their claims are not automatically believed is positioning for the future.

What was the issue?

Alternatively: when you want to not worry for two years.

There’s one in my home town in Sweden in a week or so, I’m going there to see if I can help. I just hope I don’t mess it up and turn someone away from ever considering free alternatives, like bricking their phone or ranting about plan9. “There, you now have a fully free phone! Unfortunately you can’t call, text, or use the camera anymore, but… yeah.”

Oh, then there’s hope :) It sounds like there’s been a lot of introspection and a will to change course. Does she feel the same?
For me I’ve been the one saying that our current lifestyle is not working for me. I’ve been saying it for 6 months and I don’t know what more I can do at this point. I wish I had hope. We have good days, but the fundamental issues remain.

I recently got a managed Nextcloud instance at Hetzner, it’s more storage than I need so I’m creating accounts for friends and family if they want. So far, nobody wants it, but… still.

I’m sorry to hear that. How are you doing now? If you don’t mind me asking, if there was a point where things were still salvageable, do you think you were both aware of the direction things were heading? Did the realization come at the same time for both of you, or at different times that it was beyond that point? What were the critical signs?

This reminds me of some issues in my relationship. Some problems that never gets solved.

No but the swedish subtitle is not what she said either. It concerns the legal term “criminal intent” when it comes to running a business. Someone else posted a longer explanation.

The translation is not what she said though.

“Why would anyone want to block ads? I will answer that, but first I’m going to tell you about why reverse polish notation is a neat idea for calculators, sorry you can’t skip this part, it’s only 5 minutes for the first part and then I will talk about Cory Doctorows new book for a few minutes, then I will answer.”

Filing taxes in sweden means going to the tax agencys website, identifying with your phone, and they already have everything pre-calculated so you just sign it digitally, takes 5 minutes. If you ignore it I think it’s the same as accepting it after a certain date.
