2 years old need to learn interaction with other people.

That’s how they learn language.

So, spend time with them, not the screen. Screen time will come by itself.

In fact there’s data of development delays if kids are exposed to screen at early ages. That is because our eyes like movement, but screen picture doesn’t provide meaningful world context. Especially games.

Only personal interaction gives words in meaningful action context.

My wife is speech pathologist, so I am sharing what I wax told.

We have a friend, who didn’t listen to no screen time. Kid is delayed in development. It is serious staff and yet so simple to prevent.

Give your kids all the time you can in 1st several years.

I used Arch for years, but found that I got everything at the same speed from Fedora for fraction of effort.

Fedora

There are more topics to cover than just encryption. Less on encryption, more on other topics.

Is it p2p or server model? I happen to lookup and it seems to be server as intermediary.

Is server side open sourced? Who is running servers? How does client choose the server to connect to? if hop server is tracking data, what will it see?

With all that end address obfuscation, how user friendly is establishing a connection with a friend?

SSDs die suddenly.

I use kvm switch and run into this issue.

I am currently on Fedora 41, Gnome. I’ve seen this issue when running Arch on the same hardware without kvm switch to the point that I disabled suspend.

The fix for me is Ctrl-Alt-F1. It simply brings display manager’s login screen. Gnome on Fedora 41 uses gdm.

The rationale here is simple: the display manager should be resetting screen to display login screen.

I switched to XFS.

The most important feature to me is support for file deduction which is supported by XFS through reflink. BTRFS supports reflinks as well.

Snapshot in BTRFS seems like the most desirable feature, but in real life I ended up not using it.

I usually prefer drive mirror setup, but it can give its own headaches.

These days I simply have 2 disks and nightly rsync job copies content of one drive to another. This protects from drive failure.

Rclone job sends most important data to offsite backup.

The biggest loss is missing data checksums, but it is a unique feature of BTRFS that most filesystems manage without.

I don’t have setup to expand partition beyond one drive. It comes with its own headache. I simply use large enough disks.

He was running long installation process from command line and lock warning was probably appropriate.

He was probably supposed to mark downloaded .run file executable. Instead he went to collect errors.

~/projs

I like ~/w or ~/p options

Vscode is installed on windows. Then you install vscode ssh plugin from Microsoft and open ssh connection from vscode to any Linux including WSL hosted Linux.

I am a software developer and work on Kubernetes based project.

I was given a Mac laptop when I joined. It was a few OS releases behind, because corporate IT didn’t support newer versions.

Macs have to run some sort of VM to do docker based development.

VMs are not that great.

When time came, I requested a Windows laptop. I installed Debian on WSL 2. Then got it to run systemd properly and installed Docker on WSL. Then vscode on windows host with remote ssh into WSL.

Vscode ssh integration is probably best least known feature of vscode. However, initial connection setup always requires tweaking to get that best experience.

By the way, official docker setup is through VM on windows. WSL is not a recommended route, but one can get it working.

This setup beats Mac any day for me.

I wish I could run Linux on work laptop, but corporate IT doesn’t know how to deal with it.

My wife complained that Mac got worse at searching samba shares.

Corporate support for Macs is usually worth than on Windows.

It is a very risky move.

Fedora atomic or not is nice.

I got tired of manually installing Arch and was pleased with Fedora the most.

I actually run away from Mac. Mac OS X is long time as not Linux.

WSL is a way better option than whatever VM option is on Mac.

I am happy with WSL as well. I don’t try to get Linux GUI running.

I use vscode remote ssh session. I run docker natively on Linux, not on windows.

The trick is to get DBUS services running in whatever flavor of Linux you install. Don’t try running a full UI session.

The biggest problem I have on Linux is time drift after laptop goes to sleep. it is easy to deal with manually.

https://www.latacora.com/blog/2019/07/16/the-pgp-problem/ is a good summary about the issue

Good counter discussion about PGP security

https://www.reddit.com/r/cryptography/comments/10cfslk/exactly_how_strong_is_pgp/

I would argue that latacora could be an attempt to push users into the systems that provide 3rd party service, which by definition of 3rd party service is not secure: WhasApp, Signal.

Only true P2P can be safe. PGP provides ability to send encrypted message using any means necessary: FTP, HTTP, anonymous services, USB sticks, anything.

why encrypting mail in general is bad at https://www.latacora.com/blog/2020/02/19/stop-using-encrypted

The point about email having leaking matadata is 100% spot on.

The argument why Signal is better is very short and not substantiated IMO.

Be aware, that trusted Certificate Authority (CA) configuration applies to ALL certificates issued by CA. Thus, if one elects to trust “actalis” CA, then they trust ALL actalis CA users.

If the process of obtaining certificate was extremely simple, easy and did not involve identity verification steps, then bad actors can take advantage of this process and create identities that your client application will trust.

By itself the bad actor identity is of little concern to anybody, but it can have a significant impact if trusted identity is used in spam filtering, exploits of email client bugs or other hack attempts. Trusted users may be given higher access privilege at the client application level, which may be just enough for hacker to gain required access. For example, client application may be configured to trust all trusted senders with MIME attachments. An unknown trusted user sends malicious Application as file attachment. Accidental double click lunches the application without “are you sure?” prompt. Congratulations, machine is pwned.

The problem is easily mitigated by not importing root CA for easy CAs.
