ITT a horde of people who don’t know that http is stateless. Cookies are the easiest and least intrusive way to maintain your session.

Hitch and a trailer is how I deal with that with my Crosstrek.

I’m getting old and am a whitewater kayaker. You have to go where the water is which means a lot of long road trips and long weekends. Setting up and tearing down camp constantly wears you down. Now I pull in. Sleep. Can drive part way and sleep at a truck stop. Much nicer. Mine has the bed over the garage so bikes and snowboards can just live there all the time too. Most creek and freestyle boats fit inside too until I get around to putting the racks on. Then I’ll also have an awning and solar.

I keep my paid off subie around, but I do like driving the camp converted van around because I can just sit and relax without having to go all the way home.

Usenet and IRC were the good ole times.

Try using a timer

See if there’s a way to disable power save for your audio driver module.

I had to do this for Intel for example

#/etc/modprobe.d/audio_disable_powersave.conf
 options snd_hda_intel power_save=0

• For file save/send dialogs, just drag/drop from nemo/nautilus to the file dialog instead of using the annoying navigation in the file dialog itself.
• In cinnamon, use win-l,r,u,d to snap. In succession will go from full width/height to a corner. Reverse or drag the window to go back to original size. This gives you nice tiling with the flexibility of traditional window management as well.
• for a terminal ctl-alt-t
• alt-f2 to execute a command with history

Used to. Prefer Aquamail. I’m a thunderbird user on my workstation though. The latest changes were controversial, but it’s fine once you enable the system title bar and hide the menu bar.

Patents should simply be a monopoly on an idea for enough time to gather resources to develop that idea’s prototype. I know it doesn’t work that way, but it should. They really should be there for small inventors, not giant corps who have plenty of resources, but I digress.

But software itself can implement that prototype without having to build anything. Your ideas can be created directly. We don’t patent math and we don’t patent poetry or even poetic writing structures.

Software and business method patents are utter bullshit.

Fuck software patents and business method patents. Patent the machine. Copyright the instructions to tell the machine what to do if you must.

You’ll also need umask for each user to be 002 for it to work transparently.

Weak. You can easily jam IR by holding a button on another remote. No need to stand there with your hand over it.

Mint integrates flatpak seemlessly into its graphic package management and update tools.

I use Borg to my nas, then rclone that to rsync.net. With Borg if you need the remote copy, you can interact with it directly.

You can, of course, Borg directly to rsync.net. You can also use rsync instead and let their ZFS snapshots do retention for you.

I would back up data (ie /home, /var, /etc) with Borg. If things break, just do a fresh install and restore data.

If a server, run it as a proxmox guest and snapshot the image on a schedule.

There are also things you could maybe do with ZFS.

I recommend Linux mint cinnamon.

I prefer doing useful things with my workstation vs playing with the OS itself, so mint cinnamon is my recommendation. Servers are ansible-managed alma. Professionally I’m a Linux systems architect and devops engineer.

Custom per-folder themes in Nemo with drag/drop templating like os/2 had. Extend to all apps, actually.

Each individual package is also signed.
