For me, I personally just run my workplace stuff in a VM (Debian 12) using KVM.

For excel desktop, OnlyOffice has a Desktop application that you can use to edit local files, which has pretty good compatibility with Microsoft products.

+1 to this; Time spent on your setup is an important factor too.

The more important your data is, the more time you are going to need to spend maintaining your system to ensure security, backups and fail-overs. Not everyone has luxurious amount of time to spend on their home-lab everyday.

Well, not wrong that it solves the problem, but with data breaches happening frequently, I wouldn't want to repeat 1 single password for all services lol.

Even if companies hash passwords, it's still a gamble whether they are using an up-to-date hash algorithm (or if they do even hash it, lol). Plus, generally best to avoid exposing passwords, hashed or not, in the first place.

Agree, comes down to risk acceptance honestly.

I accepted the risk that comes with it. Same with some other aliases on equally hazardous commands.

I replaced rm with trash-put, just in case I realize I need some files that I removed down the line.

alias rm='trash-put'

Official author don't recommend it due to different semantics. But honestly for my own personal use case its fine for me.


Also I like to alias xclip:

alias clippy='xclip -selection clipboard'

# cat things.txt | clippy
