Chiming in with the vinyl recommendation as well. Pulling up lyrics and going through my favorite records is quite a nice evening.

Yes, the masses of the internet who've grown accustomed to free e-mail while being locked to an gmail domain are definitely going to shill out $50/y for...better spam flagging?

Linode managed to get blacklisted by Microsoft for weeks. I don't think you should expect a single mailserver to be able to survive in the current email climate. While email may be open it was de…

Writing Scheme (Guile Scheme on Guix) has been the only time I've actually felt a "eureka moment" and feeling like I understood fully what my code was doing.

Is that with an M1? I had a 12" MacBook no-adjectives in the past which didn't even work with AirPods well. I was hoping the M1 would have a better BT stack (the iPhone's...)

HiFi shops won’t let you try anymore either. People come in to try them and then just buy them online. Record player sales are booming though, according to the shop I went to.

I attempted to switch to ed25519 OpenSSH keys in 2017 and support was pretty dreadful. Ended going back to rsa4096 just for compatibility :(

One of the great lossless in recent history. The current torchbearers don’t live up to wcd - I assume streaming is to blame.

I read the comment wrong. I thought they meant a full test battery not just a cholesterol test.

Zen 4 will being using a new socket, I wouldn’t go buying a Zen 3 with plans to upgrade the CPU down the road.

That's great! Couple questions, is this on a recently released version, will it be in the next Fedora? Is it best just to grab the Flatpak?

Chiming in with my experience growing up in late 00 early 10s, I spent a lot of similar time doing such things with Linux :) .

For sure. It's pretty easy to verify what would happen w.r.t. Y2K - you just change the clock...and things broke. LGR did an excellent video [1] on the subject. [1] https://youtu.be&#x…
