F. I still have a W10 drive for VR games.

Good thing my server still runs Jessie!

Without being able to set a static ip and forward ports you cant host services and point to them with a domain, like driveway-home.com or something.

But I think cloudflare has a service that lets you connect remotely without needing static ip’s (some one else will know the name). If you were to use that then you can use your laptop to host pretty much anything on the Awesome Selfhosted List.

Device agnosticism. Life is easier when it doesn’t take ONE laptop or phone failure to destroy all your data.

Crackers use words and phases, they don’t just start at 00000000 and head for zzzzzzzz. It’s easier to crack a 16 char phrase of mangled words than 16 random chars.

Or just use a god damned pw manager. As soon as you have to memorize a system corners will be cut. 16 random characters will never be beaten by a mangled string.

In general or just on phones?

What made you initially look for an alt keyboard? I have huge problems hitting the buttons on querty and started by looking for a chorded layout.

So this is definitely not for everyone but Thumb-Key is privacy friendly and designed to be used with just one thumb. I have used Thumb-Key (and it’s predecessor Message Ease) for about 4 years now and they are way easier for me than qwerty, there are fewer buttons so typos are less frequent and you can access all letter/numbers/punctuation while holding your phone one handed.

I use LXC for all the reasons most people use Docker, it’s easy to spin up a new service, there are no leftovers when I remove a service, and everything stays separate. What I really like about LXC though is that you can treat containers like VMs, you start it up, attach and install all your software as if it were a real machine. No extra tech to learn.

The price of TVs is heavily subsidized by the “smart” features. Same way that PCs are subsidized by having Windows pre-installed.

God damn webp, why is support so inconsistent?

Because they are the Crayola of fuckin computers?

Late to the thread but I would say yeah, Debian is good for gaming. The only place I have issued is with VR, otherwise it’s been smooth sailing for the past 3 years.

Apps are legitimately great.

Except they are mostly just lobotomized websites where you can’t copy the text or save media to your local device.

Do people not sanitize links they share? 90% of an amazon url is garbage referrer info.

I used Sony Vegas/what ever it’s called now for years, moving to kdenlive was pretty painless and I don’t feel like I’m missing any features.

You gotta hold ctrl alt shift honk at power up.
