Evolution, Thunderbird and KMail, depending on the system. Though I’ve had only trouble with Thunderbird and gpg signing with a yubikey. The others just work.

On Android I’m using FairMail.

What a function does should be self evident. Why it does it might not be.

I get a summary once a week of all the updates. I then check the release notes and if nothing needs any changes just run the ansible playbook that updates to those releases. I don’t want to get up and first thing in the morning read alert emails because an update failed over night, so i sit down for 10 minutes once a week.

Bash, not because its my favourite but because it’s nearly ubiquitous. I don’t want to have to think about which shell I’m using.

Went with lineage since I grew up on cyanogenmod.

Contabo is really cheap and has a few datacenters around the world. That low price comes at a cost though, their uptime is not as good as that of other providers. Expect about 3 outages a year, lasting about half an hour, maybe a day in extreme cases.

I’m not sure why they specifically say laptop, and then don’t mention what’s different to a desktop PC.

Then you click on the linked NVIDIA article and the first comment says, that it also happens on their desktop.

Didn’t really hop much, started with Windows, went on to OSX, got annoyed at it and ran Arch in a VM until I was comfortable with it, then went bare-metal with it.

Happy Arch user for some years now, though recently I’m using Fedora for work and I really like it. It’s not a good fit for some machines I’m running which need a lot of customisations to run properly.

It was built in the early 12th century.

Always, if nothing else it makes “wiping” them securely easier.

If a user is in the docker group they can also run docker commands.

• I usually use bash/python/perl if I can be sure that it will be available on all systems I intend to run the scripts. A notable exception for this would be alpine based containers, there it’s nearly exclusively #!/bin/sh.
• Depending on the complexity I will either have a git repository for all random scripts I need and not test them, or a single repo per script with Integrationtests.
• Depends, if they are specific to my setup, no, otherwise the git repository is public on my git server.
• Usually no, because the servers are not always under my direct control, so the scripts that are on servers are specific to that server/the server fleet.
• Regarding your last question in the list: You do you, I personally don’t, partly because of my previous point. A lot of servers are “cattle” provisioned and destroyed on a whim. I would have to sync those modifications to all machines to effectively use them, which is not always possible. So I also don’t do this on any personal devices, because I don’t want to build muscle memory that doesn’t apply everywhere.

• Second GPU for a VM
• SATA controller
• SAS controller
• SAS Expander

OVH, reasonably priced, API for DNS management and existing certbot integration

I wrote a small program for the arduino nano 2 years ago, it isn’t that fancy, a quickly hacked together led flash animation, but the Makefile works. You really just have to install the dependencies and adapt it for your project and it should work.

I just switch providers, it’s easier to get a good deal than by staying and nagging customer support. Though I currently pay €10,- with my current provider because I also have fibre with them, so I’ll probably stay with them for the foreseeable future.

I switched ever couple of years.

I’ve seen so many bots on lemmy summarising the contents of websites and blocked all of them, because of this. They are not reliable, and I still caught myself reading those. I don’t even want to know how many summaries which are in a post body are just generated by an LLM.

If someone comes to me I’m more than happy to answer questions and help, but I won’t bring it up. People don’t like being told that their tool of choice is “bad” “not optimal” or anything like that. Even if it’s only their choice because they grew up with it or don’t want to learn anything new. And they still need to learn if it’s more than browsing the web.

Also I really don’t want to be the one they come running to once something doesn’t work the way they expected - or not at all. I don’t have the time nor the inclination to be tech support for my family and half of my friends.
