What are some preparations you think people should know about in advance of migrating to Linux?
  • Be ready to deal with a backup plan. Consumer services like Backblaze don't work with Linux.

    I have opted into backing my data up to a local network NAS machine which in-turn backs all of its data up to a StorJ backed s3:// compatible endpoint which is very inexpensive.

  • Pronouns and tribal affiliations are now forbidden in South Dakota public university employee emails
  • I mean it, just like it is defined.

    I have been shamed for not providing my pronouns in Slack. I think it's not important for me to do because it's easy to tell my pronouns by our language. If it was ambiguous in any way, I would feel comfortable providing them.

    I do not shame or care if others use them regardless of their reason (support, clarity, etc) up until that reason is to passively or actively shame others.

  • I don't fuss about it, and I totally get that it can be helpful in ambiguous situations. I see it used a lot in virtue signaling, and that annoys me a lot.

    I can see the solidarity angle, but I guess I'm old school and feel like the best acceptance of others is just to live and let live.

  • FTC bans most noncompete agreements between employers and workers
  • Counter point, the other company pays better because they save on training costs.

    3000 isn't much when it comes to onboarding costs, so I don't think that's why, but imagine if it cost 10k,20k, etc.

    For clarity, I'm very much in favor of this ruling. But I also sympathize with the above reply.

  • Nearly all major car companies are sabotaging EV transition, and Japan is worst, study finds
  • This is what I've done on my last 2 cars. First was a Leaf that I leased dirt cheap. The second was a used Tesla at more than 1/2 off. I'm looking at a truck now and finding amazing deals on the '23 F150 lightnings. I'd prefer a Rivian and I'm not quite ready to let my Tesla go, but soooooon.

    Someday, the deals will be harder to find, but for now take advantage!

  • Recommendations for GSM booster links?
  • Check out WeBoost brand repeaters. I live in what used to be a rural area and when we moved in the cell signal was trash inside the house but fine outside. Put an antenna outside on the roof, ran some coax cable to the kitchen and mounted a repeater there. No issues. Works for all major cell bands.
