Most of these reports are about preview builds of Windows.

That said, surely you have seen recommendations from Microsoft to try their Office package and such oil up. It’s like that, but more intrusive.

I can’t believe Microsoft is making me switch from Windows to Mac and Linux, but here we are.

For one, the United States lacks a good press corps of independent journalists with broad reach.

Everything is either politicized or commercialized. Shock value sells. Balanced rational discourse does not. Polarization makes too much money for too many people.

On top of that, a systematic destruction of education and a stranglehold of religion practically makes ignorance inevitable.

Maybe we could repair it, but it would take Republicans being blocked from making any decisions for several decades at this point.

No. The wrong timing parameters could definitively break your hardware.

Coffee in the morning, tea anytime after. Tea especially when it’s cold. Great taste, zero calories, zero guilt.

It depends. I’ve done it a few different ways:

• YOLO: especially with thugs like PHP you only affect one page at a time and with low traffic the odds of a problem is small
• Maintenance page: temporarily show a page. Some servers like IIS have this built in. Otherwise it’s a simple update to httpd conf
• In a cluster environment, just take the node you’re updating out of rotation, and only update one node at a time.
• Copy and switch like you suggested. Can be combined with any of the above and is a smart move if upload is slow or can be interrupted, or it’s cumbersome to restore the old files

Edit: spelling

Yes, unless it is encrypted, in which case you need a way to decode that. You can even boot an OS from a USB thumb drive to recover files from a hard drive.

Is moving the drive to another computer as a secondary drive an option? Or put it in a separate USB enclosure? That way you don’t need to boot it at all, unless it’s encrypted or something.

Roughly in order of appearance. Personal devices only. I used many more for work.

What about volunteering? Usually no credentials or experience is required. You get out of the house, get to be around people, and you get the satisfaction of feeling like you are doing something useful, which is rewarding in itself.

It could be anything. You have all kinds of organizations wanting volunteer help: social outreach programs, churches, scouts, clubs, etc. See if anything local catches your interest.

To manage packages on the terminal, I personally like to use aptitude which has a nice visual interface to find, install, and remove packages. It also lets you resolve conflicts interactively. If you do not want a separate tool, you can use apt-cache search to search for new packages.

As is typical with Linux, there are multiple ways to do it. I found an article that outlines a few alternatives.

Make sure your switch(es) are actually getting the full speed. Despite good cables, they could be negotiating at lower speeds. Also check that your router isn’t limiting bandwidth in its configuration somewhere.

I switched to self hosted Piwigo after Flickr started threatening to delete my photos a while back.

It had an extension that let me import all my photos from Flickr. Not sure if that still works after they changed hands.

It’s very easy to maintain; just click the update button in the Web UI. And it comes with a bunch of extensions.

Yes! Forgot about those.

Yes! As a Scandinavian living in the US: I would love to see black currant, red currant, and gooseberries in my grocery store.

You haven’t lived until you’ve installed Slackware from floppy disks and compiled the necessary network drivers into the kernel by hand. Good times, but never again.

When you become a naturalized citizen of the US you have to renounce your allegiance to other countries, but you don’t have to give up your other citizenship.

I grew up in Norway, but haven’t lived there for some time. When I first read this I was like “bullshit. you can drink anywhere”. But, I looked it up and you are correct. However, it is not very often enforced unless you’re being a nuisance. Drinking and driving on the other hand is taken very seriously. Don’t even gamble with that a little bit in Norway.
