This, very much. My employer has no bonus system whatsoever for regular employees so even if I did put in extra effort and the company made more profits, all of that would go into …

In my case, sending to Gmail works via IPv4 but they reject anything I send via IPv6. That was fun to figure out.

Personally I use https://github.com/jpillora/chisel as a reverse Proxy through nginx, then connect through it using OpenVPN to bypass a similarly restrictive firewall. But this dis…

FYI, you can use oathtool on your PC for 2FA, you don't need custom apps for that.

... or about needing a Microsoft (GitHub) account to publish Rust packages (on crates.io).

My operator terminated its 2G network last year, forcing me to upgrade to a 3G phone. Let's hope your operator won't do the same thing.

> There are ath9k wifi cards with open source firmware I use these almost exclusively for laptops and routers, I keep ripping Intel wifi cards out of laptops and replacing them wit…

Hard to tell. It's Steam that refuses the refund, no idea how the decision is made. Apparently others managed to eventually get the refund by trying again and again; maybe I gave u…

I'm still upset with them: A couple of years ago, Linux support for Rust (the game) was discontinued and the publisher said that all Linux users would get a refund on Steam, regard…

Thanks, that clarifies things. The number makes sense as a rough average (which would make sense for the taxes), calling it a 'minimum' was what confused me a little.

Would you mind sharing your numbers? I recently tried to figure out how much my car costs me but it was less than half of your 10'000, so I'm wondering - either I missed something,…

How does the language matter? I write software (mostly) in C for a living (the simple man's "embedded" as in "Linux on an ARM board", not the "bits on a micro controller" kind) and…

I'm still using my N9, great little phone...

In Switzerland you can lose your driver's license when cycling drunk. I think I prefer your system.

> I changed careers at 40+ years old. I'm very happy that I did it. Would you mind sharing a bit more about that? I.e. what did you do before, what are you doing now? I ask because…

> No cloud services, no Office 365 or Google Workspace I'm so looking forward to that.

I wouldn't say that it's completely transparent, at least not when you use multiple clients (eg. a PC and a phone). I frequently get messages that some device cannot decrypt.

Not the OP, but I also keep running into issues with OMEMO. It's bad enough that I usually just disable it for all conversations. My problem is that I'm using several clients (most…

Not the OP, but no, I have not. Nor do I intend to. Ever.
