^ Exactly this! Looking over the questions there's a lot with impulse control. As someone with severe ADHD (inattentive) with a dash of ASD impulse control isn't one of my strong features, which skews the results.
Agree, if you have doubts or issues that a qualified professional can help get to the bottom of it.
Good ol' surveillance capitalism, agree the ship has sailed. Seems like its becoming harder to avoid all the little things that are constantly spying on us. Seems like 75% of my neighborhood have ring cameras.
Whatever happened to being able to egg someones house in peace. Feels bad for all those kiddos not getting to experience that.
Moto G Stylus (2021) user with no screen problems here. My only gripes is Motorolas shitty update policies and lack of custom rom support. Guess I can’t complain for a sub-$200 phone.
Non-developer searches seem to work Ok. I honestly havent tried that much. It seems like most the time I do engage with Phind its usually code related. Its become a pretty good utility for debugging.
Strip out any sensitive bits, paste it over asking the questions and or presenting the error while running usually results in figuring out my mistakes (or at least gets me closer).
Sadly no, just have the fireproof safes you can find at most big box stores.
I’ve patched on to Phind(phind.com) a bit more lately and for the first time in a while thought that i would absolutely pay for it if the service can remain the same.
I’m all for paying for services that make sense for the better of my own data. I’ve been running a SearXNG instance for a bit though. I’ll likely check out Kagi, as SearXNG hasn’t been too quick to return results.

Not looking forward to resuming my debt payments. I’d imagine the larger consequence being a bigger hit on the economy as a whole.
We are about to see a drop in consumer spending, which being one of the core functions of how capitalism operates its not gonna bode well. Combine that aspect with inflation, layoffs and a housing crisis is not going to be a fun time for anyone.
Current have two Yubikeys for personal use. One is a backup and remains in a fireproof safe, while the other is on my most / all of the time via my keyring. Agree the individual side is a bit more complex.
For me I took the approach of not relying that much on cloud services and rolling a lot of it myself. My data then gets backed up to a backup repository via borgbase in the EU. Usually try to follow the 3,2,1 rule for backups. Three copies of your data on two different medias with one copy offsite (ok the two different medias thing i cheat a bit and have a couple extra disks).
The enterprise side we've talked about implementing Yubikeys in the org, but havent gotten all the buy in on that yet.
What's funny working in the cybersecurity space is we've actually adopted Bitwarden I'm out org. Now, with that said to your point not all our eggs are in one basket.
Most of our auth (if not all) relies on another mechanism for authentication. Typically some other 2FA mechanism that isn't stored in our org Bitwarden vault. We enforce that separation with the assumption that if our vault is compromised the core aspects of the business easily accessible isn't necessary breached.
The break glass accounts / etc that are not protected by 2FA are 99% of the time locked down to only be able to use that use from very specific subnets and or source systems. The ones that are accessible outside (say a AWS account) is always locked down with a hardware key. This isn't fool proof either as technically in a very targeted attack you could focus on the admin/IT user and work your way through their system. To your point.....it's Electron based, but we also found not offering it and making it easy for the typical user often led to even worse practices being adhered to.
We've embraced Bitwarden at this point pretty heavily, but at some point we will be rolling our own instance and migrating that way. This will allow a bit more separation and control for more of our break glass based accounts.
That would have been awesome. My kids always want McDonald's and we have a rule where we only go like once or twice a year. Needless to say that period was recently (mainly due to family craziness / scheduling).
The Grimace birthday shake......1/10 would not recommend. Like a watered down heavily food colored vanilla shake. Mistakes were made for sure.
McDonald’s commissioned GB Studio devs to make a retro game to coincide with Grimace’s Birthday!

Currently been playing around with the Star64 board from the Pine folks. Its definitely not daily driver material yet, but progress is being made every day. There is a lot of functionality and use case for it.
If you love to tinker and not afraid to roll up your sleeve to potentially compile some things here or there, then its potentially for you. Ive been able to get a few distros functional on it (some with graphical environments). The package base in most the distros are a bit lacking, but you do have the ability to cross compile what you need in most cases.
MicroOS user here. Honestly I love the workflow of using distrobox for about everything I need.
Essentially I have distrobox images setup for specific development workflows. I just hop into the one that is suited for the task I'm doing. It automatically sets up icons in the Gnome menu if you don't want to use the cli commands.
Between flatpaks and containers I couldn't be happier with my setup. Combine that with the fact I can potentially trust the underlying OS to not crap the bed via updates (and when it does I can roll back my filesystem snapshots) is a win/win.
I played through it on my Xbox a few months back (picked it up during one of the sales). The base / main game does still have some glitches and bugs every now and then.
For the most part thought the game is gorgeous, fun and the gameplay/atmosphere outweigh a lot of those other oddities.
No regrets on the purchase. Hopefully with this they worked out some additional kinks.

Put this in Random, really hit the feels hard for some childhood memories.
My primary driver for the last few months has been OpenSUSE MicroOS (immutable based on Tumbleweed).
From the server perspective majority of my servers ive cutover to OpenSUSE Leap Micro, as most if not all of my workloads are container based. For some of my non-container things i typically land on Debian.
My Pantum P2500W has been seamless across many distros. Its a cheap little laser printer that costs usually sub-$100.
I would honestly find it very difficult to believe that there wasn't going to be some telemetry, data / etc sent back to the mothership. I know in the marketing realm Apple caters towards "privacy", but who's really validating those claims.
Granted......I'm also very tin-foil-hatty about my data and retain it all locally with offsite backups. I tore down my Google Drive / cloud data about 2-years ago.
Debian 12 "bookworm" released
Congrats to the Debian team which looks like a fine release that will carry us for the next 5-years. Although I do not directly use Debian anymore its worth calling out that they have been a influence, driver and overall force of nature in the Linux distro ecosystem.
For those who dont know.....all Debian releases are code-named after Toy Story characters. Bookworm being a minor character in Toy Story 3.
Greetings fellow techies
Stumbled across this community and cannot be more excited to participate and spread the love of the tech.
Little about me....... Been in various IT positions for the last 20 years from big corporations (some that are big and blue) to smaller organizations. Currently working more in the devops space as it relates to cybersecurity.
Passions in tech include:
- All things Linux and open source.
- SoC board development and usage (specifically RISC-V)
- Music (Punk, Indie, Alternative)
And when im not doing something related to tech, I enjoy hiking, kayaking and taming my kids & Siberian Husky's
