  • For professional email I recommend firstname.lastname@domain because it's very common and lets people almost uniquely identify you from your email address alone. You could also register a domain such as lastname.com such that you can use firstname@lastname.com. Just make sure to use a reputable email host to make sure that your emails don't end up in spam.

  • Preferrably all bricked up

  • It's short for et cetera. It represents everyone I didn't explicitly mention

  • You're welcome

    Thank you for your service

  • There are many modern alternatives to common Unix commands, often written in rust, or provided in Nushell, that showcase that. Here are some common themes I like:

    Good defaults: You shouldn't have to memorize tar -xzvf just to extract a tar file; The thing you're most likely to want to do should be the default. But other use cases should still be achievable through the use of flags. Make simple thing easy and difficult things possible.

    Subcommands: It helps separate and discover the different functions of a CLI. Paired with a help subcommand, you can quickly look up information for the subcommand you're actually interested in.

    Domain specific languages: Many problems already have a solution in the form of a DSL, such as Regex or SQL. My favourite example for this is httpie, which lets you specify the type, body and parameters of an HTTP request without touching any flags.

    I also much prefer long flags over short ones, because they are self-documenting.

  • Even if you can't afford Nebula, I recommend browsing its explore section, because many of its high quality creators and videos are also on YouTube. The following are some of my favourite creators on YouTube.

    30 minute animated documentary-style videos: LEMMiNO, melodysheep, fern, Hoog, neo, PolyMatter, Imperial, Cipher, Real Engineering, Mustard

    Shorter explainer videos: Posy, Kurzgesagt, PBS Space Time, Sciencephile the AI, minutephysics, Steve Mould, Half as Interesting

  • The two times something like this happened to me, it was always a RAM issue. One time it was XMP, the other time I forgot to install swap, so the memory simply ran out

  • Probably, but YouTube also compresses popular videos more aggressively, so you need to download less data to watch a second of video.

  • True, I almost forgot that I had to give them my ID. That's pretty bad for your own privacy, but other than that Germany has better privacy laws than most other countries

  • Hetzner has some really cheap servers in Germany

    • Purelymail ($10/y)
    • Proton VPN ($30/y on sale)
    • Porkbun domains ($40/y)
    • Hetzner VPS ($60/y for now)

    Covers almost everything I need online

  • They have a mouthful of problems

  • What if the doctor also saves the killer from prison?

  • This could easily be implemented with an SQL-like database. Are you sure you want to use Git for this? The only advantage would be that you get historic data out of the box, but you'll probably only fetch the latest data anyways

  • You will be surprised to hear that this is how we read decimal numbers too

  • The candles are only available in packs of 8. It's the smallest addressable unit of wax in many cake architectures

    Don't grow older than 255 or else it will overflow

  • Thinking of it, it would be even nicer to have an office theme for LibreOffice/onlyoffice/... to migrate away from office without management noticing.

    You are going to love Collabora Office!
