I don't think my kids have ever used a Windows machine. I have a couple of machines at home that both run Linux Mint and they use Chromebooks at school. There is not much software that they need that is not either a web page or also available natively.

Much of the time, the sites only put a small blurb and a link to the actual article in the feed, so you still have to click through to read it all.

If you fired a gun past an MRI machine, could it conceivably catch the bullets? I am currently assuming that significant deflection is absolutely possible with such a powerful magnet.

I abhor those Temu YouTube ads.

TikTok is correct. Ban them all.

I still use Windows for work, but the last version I used on any of my personal computers was XP.

If AI is better than the existing voice-prompt systems, then I'll take it, but I doubt it will be.

I remember running Slackware and having to recompile the kernel for just about any hardware you added. I configured a box to be used as a router before routers were something you could get commonly at Best Buy.

I was taking comp. sci. at university and all our work was done on Sparc workstations. Having a Unix-like machine at home was a great help during that time

I see what you did there.

Navidrome is still the best music server, even with all of its limitations. For what it's worth, the developer is currently working on features intended to support multiple music libraries. It's going to happen eventually.

Does nextcloud deck have recurring tasks yet? I didn't think it did.

+1 for long-ass backup script. First dump the databases with the appropriate command. Currently, I have only MariaDB and Postgres instances. Then, I use Borg to backup the database dumps and the docker volumes.

Database SQL dumps compress very well. I haven't had any problems yet
