@1019throw Depending on the length of the chapters, but usually 3-5 of them does the trick.

Cyder , to technology in 1Password vs BitWarden

Bitwarden is very good, but if you are already comfortable with 1Password I don’t think it is worth the switch. A lot of people (myself included) just recently switched from LastPass to Bitwarden due to LPs issues and breaches. But 1Password is still very solid and highly recommended.

I use the names of females that have (had) significance in my life.

phorq , to showerthoughts in Steamed Hams is the new Aristocrats joke

Hmm yes, and you call it an aristocrats joke despite the fact that it’s obviously not vulgar…

randomtask ,

It’s an Albany excretion.

MrSluagh OP ,

It’s the opposite, really.

Steamed Hams is a sketch that’s so comedically perfect on a conceptual level that it works no matter how it’s executed.

The Aristocrats joke is a horrifically tasteless, bad joke, and the challenge is to make it funny anyway in your own style.

yhnavein , to linux in Why is Linux so frustrating for some people?

I used elementaryOS back in 2016. It was the best system, the best experience, the best look and feel. That was amazing.

Everything went to shit with one of the updates. It destroyed the graphics drivers and I wasn’t able to reinstall it correctly. Shortly after they released the new big version of elementaryOS which was just bad. Looked bad, worse user experience. It was also slower. And even small update killed my graphic drivers. Again. That was it. Back to Windows. Few years after that I moved to MacOS and now it’s stable, looking nice and I am confident that the os will work pretty much the same on the next day.

It’s crucial when you have a freelance work. I just can’t imagine waking up to see that my Linux machine decided to fuck me up on a that particular day. Nope.

Ew0 ,

To be fair there are very stable distros like Debian that will hardly ever break.

Please enter your OpenAI API key.

The real conspiracy is the website exists to steal API keys.

@Zikeji@programming.dev avatar

And yes I know we can see the source and that it doesn’t presently send keys anywhere but the OpenAI API.

Also why save the key to local storage? The code encrypts the key and saves it, alongside the encryption key, to local storage. Why even encrypt it if you’re placing the encryption key protecting it right next to it? It’s the virtual equivalent of storing the key to a safe by taping it to the safe.

Characters from the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. Zaphod, Prosser, Arthur, slartibartfast etc

VPS/servers after particles. Quark, Boson, Hadron etc

ButhJolokia , to selfhosted in What is your machine naming scheme?

My old company used Greek and Roman gods and heroes. Hermes01 was the mail server, for example (because Hermes was the messenger of the gods). I don’t remember all of them, but we had demeter (esx clusters), zeus (file servers iirc), Ares (backup servers), and other server names like that.

WagnasT , to linux in Distro suggestions?

Based on your needs any distro is probably fine. They’re pretty much all free, i don’t think you’ll find a better answer from internet randos than just booting from live usb and trying them out. I use arch btw.

lutillian , to selfhosted in What is your machine naming scheme?

Mine are named after mythical Asian creatures.

Phoenix, Kirin, Yuki-onna, Dragon, Kodama, etc etc

FrickAndMortar , to selfhosted in What is your machine naming scheme?

For work, two letters for the type of machine, two numbers for the location, three letters for the department, and two numbers for the device.

LT01MKT27 = laptop at HQ, in marketing, 27 is the unique ID
SV05EXC03 = server at remote office #5, running exchange, 03 is the unique ID

At home, goofy on-the-fly names!

It’s not frustrating if someone starts with linux without using windows once.

PseudoSpock ,

Preach!

Mine machines are all named after Final Fantasy Summons/Espers/Eidolons/Aeons/Primals.

My main proxmox node is Bahamut. I try to pick a suitable summon that matches the host but that doesn’t always work.

Quacksalber , to linux in Why is Linux so frustrating for some people?

I simply know where the settings are on Windows. I can find almost all stuff in the settings, I can fiddle with the registry and I can do narrow searches if I do need to look something up. I also understand how and where programs on Windows save their files. On Linux I have only very little experience.

TechnologyClassroom ,

You may be accustomed to the process, but fixing issues in the registry is not intuitive. It is simple enough if you find a guide that tells you exactly which item you need to work on and exactly what the default is and what you need to change it to, but what if the guide isn’t exactly what you want?

In the GNU/Linux ecosystem, nearly every program has a config file. Sometimes each line has detailed comments in plain text around it you what the option does with examples of what it could be. If the documentation doesn’t exist, you can dig deeper and see what that option does in the source which is usually documented as well. Programming experience is not required to search for text and read comments. Such documentation is not equivalent in Windows.

PseudoSpock ,

There are Youtube videos, books, magazines, forums, chats… Not knowing how to use settings once, in a pinch? Sure. But forever staying that way towards it? That’s on you, not Linux or any other OS.

NotGeorge , to selfhosted in What is your machine naming scheme?

I name devices after Greek Gods / Goddesses. My main server is called Olympus.
