    He's talking about the layout & styles, not literally verbatim copy for copy of the 4 images. Shadcn is an open-source collection of reusable UI components for building modern web …

    I've used `sops` "manually" before and I'm interested. What is your workflow? I'm assuming you set certain directories to have access to the sops key you're storing somewhere else …

    Thanks for the reply, thats good to know! Incidentally, those emails are definitely from less-than-reputable (and in some proven cases North Korean) actors trying to get footholds …

    Have you noticed decreases over time by sending thigns to the "Learn Spam" folder? I'm a relatively new Fastmail customer - I setup a domain for some family accounts that I can man…

    Similar plot thread might be the current use-case of "anonymous entities" betting on Polymarket for things that are happening in the real world to generate/launder money.

    I'll have to try clicking and dragging images onto the Signal application and see if I notice any difference. I usually actually click the button to add an attachment and then brow…

    That makes sense! I was a kid in the early 90s so I enjoyed "default" Win95/98 without having to have needed to do any sort of fiddling. I was too young to have used earlier versio…

    I agree. I also think that not everyone (I couldn't say if this is generational, I see this among peers sometimes too) has the same appetite for problem solving. People hit a probl…

    I aspire to have your level of confidence in anything that amounts to leaving unsaved work in any sort of shape or form.

    Out of curiosity, back when you were compiling the kernel yourself was it because you wanted to learn it or because you wanted to add more modules to the kernel that didnt exist th…

    Absolutely. I would also think that the amount of money "lost" on license keys specifically on the "regular consumer" side pales in comparison to the data that they get once you're…

    Agreed. I know in some circles it's a meme, but if the Steam Gaming Console actually makes a debut any time soon, I think we'll see more of a jump from the "Gamer" crowd away from …

    Not that this is going to matter to you because you've left Windows behind, but I refuse to buy License Keys any more and I try to steer people away from buying "Gray Keys" to avoi…

    This is my question. Foreign athletes typically enter the U.S. on a P-1A visa for internationally recognized athletes or an O-1 visa for those with "extraordinary ability" but they…
