Hetzner has been allowing a lot of spam lately and doing nothing about it, so I've been blocking it for all my clients. Something to consider. If you send email, it may be blocked.…

Download doesn't seem to work. The VMware download area closed in late April, and can't seem to download Fusion now. The replacement store doesn't seem to be available yet. I'm usi…

Loading time is not an issue for me. I run tmux so my sessions stay alive and performance is very quick. M2 MacBook Air with 16GB RAM, using Warp terminal. Using OMZ with Dracula T…

Electric car range varies widely depending on how you use it and conditions, regardless of which car brand or model you use. Our family has a Nissan Leaf and a Tesla Model 3 and bo…

Wow this article is so wrong in my experience. $50/month for my Nissan Leaf vs $200/month for a Honda CR-V, charging at home.

This looks interesting, but a better option in my opinion is to use the Local app (on Mac) to install a lightweight VM running WordPress in seconds. Then you have all the tools, fo…

This is exactly why I stopped using Linux as my personal computer many, many years ago. I could do it, yes, but just got tired of spending hours fixing random weirdness. I have wor…

I meant to add that Luma Fusion also runs on the M1/M2 Mac as well as iPad.

Pay the cancellation fee and learn from it, to read the terms and conditions before you buy. Then in the future, depending on your needs, use alternative applications, like many of…

And did you report it to Tesla by pressing the button on the screen? I thought not. Oh wait, they didn't actually turn on Full Self Driving, so the whole "test" is bogus. Disingenu…

I’ve run the Windows ARM beta on my M1 MacBook Pro 13” and it boots quickly, runs fast and well, under Parallels. Office works good too. I had assumed that since this was a beta, t…

When will there be an iPad version?

If you have a subscription to Apple News or Apple One, you can search for and view the entire article. Many WSJ articles are included in Apple News along with other paywalled servi…

I set up a copy, thanks for sharing!

I've been using Linux for more than 20 years. For many years it was my primary computer platform, until I moved to the Mac. I recently put the latest Ubuntu LTS Linux on a spare la…

I’m not sure why he is singling out Apple. All the services scan cloud content for child porn, like Google, Microsoft, Apple, etc. Apple is not looking at images, it makes a hash o…

Been using mosh for years now, couldn’t imagine working without it!

Been using it for months with my MacBook Pro and iPad Pro and it works great!

I tried Sublime Text a few years ago, and it was OK, but I’m still sticking with Emacs which is burned into my muscle memory. I can use it with or without a GUI (I never use the me…

I never used Hypercard back in the day. But I recently started using Obsidian, and it has the idea of cards/notes and linking to them. It’s built on Markdown files, and you can use…

I put Elementary OS on my 2012 MacBook Air. I’m a very experienced Linux user, but in the past I had to fiddle a lot with things, especially on Mac hardware. It setup Ubuntu 18.04 …

Can’t you just pull the drive from the failed server, extract the DNS entries and build a new DNS server? It doesn’t sound like everything is broken, just that it is failing becaus…

Works the same as an additional monitor- which is what it is. The Dummy Plug creates the second monitor thru native support in the OS. Deskreen connects your additional device to i…

OK, I’m very handy with Linux and tried X11/VNC mods before to do this but with no success, and they were very complex. This - Deskreen - I ordered a dongle on Amazon, plugged it i…

Except that screen is dead :-/
