I've been on Mint Cinnamon for probably close to 10 years now after spending the first half of my career developing applications for Windows platform with MS tooling and backend. I…

Well my previous Mint LTS install just went out of support so guess I'll be rebuilding and might be able to try Supernova. I hate the message list pane on the left but IIRC in the …

I've been using Photoprism for perhaps 18 months, primarily as a basic way to categorize and browse my photos. Not a power user by any means but I found it easy to use and upgrade …

Mint Cinnamon has been so good to me as a daily driver since I left Windows when Win8 came along. My older watercooled i7-7770 mini-ITX 1060 GTS has been chugging along on 19.03 LT…

The proliferation of gambling is driving me away from sporting events. I won't take my child to an event where gambling is repeatedly promoted front and center. Ditto for broadcast…

Appreciate the feedback, glad to hear that I am an anomaly. The camera is on WiFi and I have a mesh network with multiple UniFi APs. Both get good signal where the camera is locate…

The Access Points, PoE switch, and firewall work fine. My only dissatisfaction has been the G3 camera. As others have stated its a big investment so not moving off the ecosystem to…

No. At least not by default. I don't believe in pervasive surveillance however so I only really use it when away from home for extended periods.

I use UniFi devices throughout my home but the cameras (G3 specifically) are buggy and frequently disconnect, and don't auto reconnect. Basically useless. Over the year end holiday…

I had a similar issue and ended up deplatformed by FB. I hadn't logged in for a couple of years, but some friends had tagged me in an event photo. Figured I might go checkout what …

I have been using Thunderbird for so many years across a variety of platforms. Happy to see continued development while maintaining my ability to customize. I appreciate the abilit…

I use a Dymo to print bar code labels for inventory. With my current printer the Dymo labels are significantly marked up with no difference in quality. I've used thousands of third…

"When patents expire, you'll see many generics come onto the market at reduced costs, and cost to consumer goes down." This assertion is simply not true. A prime example - Insulin …

This system also made it impossible for me to ever log in again. It had been a few years since I used FB but some friends tagged me at an event, so I figured what the heck. I was p…

That's not accurate in any form. The Mustang was not a sedan, but a coupe, and Ford has not stopped making the Mustang in the current form. You can still order a GT500 with 12mpg c…

Our 5yo daughter loves looking through our old paperback versions, but we generally won't read them to her yet as the story and comedy is way over her head in most cases. She can g…

GovCloud is a separate partition from Secret. Different regulatory framework alignment and customer onboarding. GovCloud customers only need be a US person or entity, beyond that a…

Great tool for both safety and entertainment. I foresee printing many stickers for my garage/shop and general hijinks.

Which is exactly what I did coming out of undergrad University here in the US. I started work and then for fun I went and formally studied German at a local college, taught by a na…

Business Associate Agreement, which defines the legal requirements between two parties sharing HIPAA data.

I still have 2 of these in my old hardware box. I used to run them at 4.5x100MHz on Abit BH6 single CPU mobo. Great way for me to bump performance as a poor CompSci student. And ye…

I agree with this sentiment but archive.org didn't work for me anyways, I got slightly farther down the page before the paywall obscured the content.

I was a paid BeOS customer and still have copies of multiple versions in the original branded shipper envelopes. I have fond memories of using it back during my college CS days. Re…

I actually see this on my home Dell 4K connected to a MBP13 via Thunderbolt to DP. It happens when I'm not using a chair (adjustable desk) but now I'm going to be very observant wh…

I used to drive down there from Portland to get parts that I needed right away. Haven't been there in years though, as it had definitely started going downhill in the early 2000s. …
