I’ll just leave you with my experience.

I used to be obese. During the pandemic I started tracking my food intake via one of the many apps. It helped me lose about 60 pounds. I was more fit, liked the way I looked a lot more, and also took up biking as a form of exercise.

Fast forward a few years, and I gained a lot of the weight back. I’m not as heavy as I once was, but I’ve got about 40 pounds to lose now. Started dropping weight again by tracking my food intake religiously.

Vomiting or pooping will not help you. Start by evaluating the food you keep in your house. Get rid of any temptations like cookies or chips. Make a meal plan and learn how to cook at home. Look at a food tracking app (I use Cronometer at the moment), and start to track every thing you eat. If you can keep your daily calorie intake at a deficit of 500 you WILL lose weight at a rate of 1 pound a week.

Weight loss is a sustained goal, and you should be prepared to make long term lifestyle changes and stick to it. It’s not an easy thing to do but you can do it.

Apple didn’t have a stylus, but there were third party styluses with rubber tips available. It worked well for its time.

PostgreSQL is a goated database. It’s rock solid.

No clue why you’d find it gross. I’ll take it over MySQL, OracleDB or MariaDB any day.

I use this DAILY!

When I went back to college about 10 years ago, I did everything on an iPad. From note taking to studying. Everything was done digitally and synced to online backups.

If you’re not opposed to something hosted outside of your control, 1Password is pretty good. Syncs across devices, has user management, vaults can be shared with other users, and it’s available everywhere.

Never mind, this is the privacy community. I don’t think 1Password fits if you want a self hosted solution.

That would be your opinion. It deserved game of the year in my personal opinion, in addition to the music award.

Then enjoy windows (unfortunately). You have no other option unless you buy those games again on a Xbox or PlayStation console.

You absolutely don’t need to know what that means, and you don’t have to wait for it either. Those are specific things some users want on one desktop environment/window manager, and not necessary to run Linux.

Jumping if you want to and experience it for yourself. I’ve been happily gaming on Linux for 3 years now.

I second this. I run opnsense on a protectli

Yessir! Fzf is pretty much indispensable to me now.

Want an even bigger game changer? fzf combined with control-r.

Enjoy.

It’s interesting there’s still resistance against systemd in 2025. It’s running just fantastically in many distros. I don’t get the hate against it.

My employer is moving from a self hosted enterprise GitHub to Microsoft hosted GitHub. It’s the worst honestly and I don’t get the justification.

My team has a product repo and it’s fantastic. Instead of a monolithic repo across all teams, it’s limited to just the work my team does. About 5 applications and their related libraries and tools are all in the same repository, making it super simple to share related code amongst the 5 applications we maintain in it.

We have a couple other separate repos that have nothing to do with our applications (ELK stack and docusaurus)

That was just one reason I gave. I personally do not like android, and my past experience with a pixel phone did not go well.

I want a phone that’s usable without having to worry about custom roms and Google locking down side loading of apps in the future. There was enough outrage that they gave up on their recent attempt, but we all know that’s not permanent.

My personal preference would be for a Linux phone that works and does so well. That doesn’t exist yet.

Switching phones isn’t necessarily easy or doable for everyone. I’ve got my device already, I appreciate this new app since it’s usable without me spending more money or changing everything about my mobile device.

Do a search for tblop, you’ll get sites with lots of links.

That’s your preference though. I prefer Sony’s symmetrical sticks. It’s ok to have your preference, no need to state that it’s the objectively better one.

Local residents in cities with data centers are dealing with higher electricity costs. Those costs get passed on from the corps to the local residents. On top of that they’re dealing with water scarcity and pollution.
