A lot of folks just temporarily disable their pi-hole. This happens rarely depending on where you hang out on the internet, I can't remember the last time it happened to me

It's cool if GNOME doesn't work well for you, but for me it's near-perfect. For sure it's rough around the edges, but what isn't? GNOME helps me get work done, stays out of my…

Well, alright so the cost of living in central London is astronomical. But as you say, > there is no parking in central London anyway so driving to work is not viable. By "closer to work"…

Honest question, is an EV really less expensive than living closer to work for most people? I live in a city where rent is fairly high, and I'm fortunate enough to afford a comfortable apartment …

I totally agree about the noise and health benefits, but to me it's more a matter of respect and safety. In the U.S., we see too many pedestrians die each year. Our roads are built for cars only,…

I'm glad to hear it works well for others, and I'd like to give it another shot sometime. I use Google to find relevant sources for research, and documentation for coding projects. In my exp…

I'll look into You.com. I gave Kagi a shot recently, paid for a month and set it as my default. To be honest, the results weren't good enough for me and I ended up cancelling my subscription…

Google is quite sticky indeed. Having tried a few alternatives, I keep coming back to it because it helps me get things done the fastest. It would be relatively easy for Apple to switch their default …

oof, I've been using wg-easy and didn't realize the weird license situation. I like it but the image doesn't get updated as often as I'd like. I've been meaning to either buil…

I got a recent Precision at work, and it's OK re: Linux support. Even with an up-to-date Fedora install, the fingerprint reader and official Dell peripherals have given me some trouble. The suppo…

Because your dataset would come out of the gate very well-populated, and any changes that you contribute back would benefit a large, welcoming community. I highly recommend it, please reach out if you…

Both, and I like that Amtrak is semi-public. I think it's the right system, if only the federal government would choose to protect / support it. Amtrak is bad because it is not allowed to su…

I love Amtrak, and it seems to be getting more popular lately. I hope to see more funding and support for passenger rail in the U.S.'s future. I've started commuting by Amtrak, as I'm l…

I found that to be well-written, so another point for CloudNativePG

Heck yeah! I attended HWC Americas regularly for about a year, I need to log back on and catch up with folks. It's a great crowd, everyone has their own interests and goals and it's fun to c…
