Yeah the hardest part is going around and updating your address with sites you use.
Every time I've done it, I've also put an auto forward on my old address, and a label or other alert for anything that comes through from the old so I can go update it or block that address from auto forwarding.
I think the person was saying it's a good idea to have your own domain because with a gmail.com address, you're stuck with Gmail. With your own, you can change providers any time by setting up your addresses at the new provider and updating the mail records to point to them. Boom! New email provider, same addresses.
I accidentally a word in the original comment, it was supposed to say they don't use *centralized databases. Instead it said I'm a moron lmao.
Whoops, I flubbed that message hard and didn't catch it at the time: Meant to say "don't use centralized databases." They definitely use databases lmao. No idea how I screwed that message up so hard. I blame ADHD for not proofreading.
Just so we're on the same page, let me be more specific. I'm saying the individuals in the article were making terrible decisions. Lots of them.
I am also saying that UUIDs are good primary keys for very specific purposes: Large, distributed systems that handle large amounts of small data, powered by databases like Cassandra that are designed to handle millions of record insertions per hour across several hundred nodes, to the point where inserts are very likely to happen at the exact same time on two different replicas of the same schema.
Hope that makes more sense than my previous flub. lol
Oh for sure, the article folks are inept and absolutely not the people I was talking about. I'm just talking about stuff more like Discord or Steam that are huge distributed systems that don't use centralized databases.
Edit: that don't use centralized databases. I blame the ADHD.
Edit 2: I am agreeing with this person
They're good for large, distributed applications for sure. Better than incrementing integers for those kinds of applications at the very least.
For the folks in the article though? lol they were making no good decisions
DSP recently got localized small distribution drones, you can convert any storage box into a tiny logistics station now. It's pretty sweet, really reduces the spaghetti early on in recent playthroughs
I switch between this and Shutter on a regular basis depending on what I feel like using that day.
I dunno what you were using but I recommend virt-viewer.
The main thing for this one is that you'll want to get a PCIe USB controller card and pass that through directly to the VM so that unplugs/replugs/device resets don't connect the device to the host machine briefly while if determines if it should pass through.
In i3wm you can set a key bind to float a window above the tiling and it'll do just that; You can even automate it with some custom for_window rules if desired.
My autistic ass has always thought of it as "I'm going to the (specific) bathroom (that I will be using)"
Word of warning, loads of those are full of hidden malware that will attempt to infect the other devices on your network. Probably best to make your own every time.
