So… why don’t those abrasive materials destroy the hair in the drain?? Explain yourself
I recently dreamt vividly that I ate something. I didn’t know I could feel taste in my dreams
Most of the former nations can at least offset this with immigration, while the latter ones don’t

Aaand… it’s Turing-complete!

You can use WinBoat or WinApps or even LinOffice to run Microsoft Office in a VM that feels like a native app. Or you can instead try Collabora Office which looks like Microsoft Office, but is based on LibreOffice
$10 per TB is actually crazy cheap even for used enterprise drives! Unimaginable in this day and age
… What you’re refering to as GNU/Linux, is in fact, systemd/GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, systemd plus GNU plus Linux. GNU/Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning systemd init system made useful by the systemd daemons, shell utilities and redundant system components comprising a full init system as defined by systemd itself.
Many computer users run a modified version of the systemd init system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of systemd which is widely used today is often called GNU/Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the systemd init system, developed by the Red Hat.
There really is a GNU/Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the init system they use. GNU/Linux is the os: a collection of programs that can be run by the init system. The operating system is an essential part of an init system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete init system. GNU/Linux is normally used in combination with the systemd init system: the whole system is basically systwmd with GNU/Linux added, or systemd/GNU/Linux. All the so-called GNU/Linux distributions are really distributions of systemd/GNU/Linux!
What do you mean by “use SHA1 for Git”? Are you referring to commit hashes? They probably don’t have any security implications that would warrant a stronger hash
I use Raccoon because it’s open source and implements Material Design
For professional email I recommend firstname.lastname@domain because it’s very common and lets people almost uniquely identify you from your email address alone. You could also register a domain such as lastname.com such that you can use firstname@lastname.com. Just make sure to use a reputable email host to make sure that your emails don’t end up in spam.
I don’t need to tell you this, but Nix is pretty good:
But it comes with a few pitfalls:
nixoschannels. Usenixos-unstable-smallto override vulnerable packages in the meantimeI use LUKS disk encryption and Lanzabote secure boot to secure my data at rest. Not because I’m scared of anyone breaking into my house, but for the peace of mind that the data is gone once I erase the encryption key.
For privacy, I use LibreWolf with default security settings and a VPN.
Other than that, I don’t feel the need to harden my personal computer. That is of course a different story for servers with open ports. The NixOS wiki entry for Security also contains some useful links.
