I get on in the morning and forget that I haven't plugged in sometime in the afternoon when I finally figure out why it went to sleep at lunchtime.

I don't know what the rated battery life is.

We have Lenovo Thinkpads (P16) at work, works great. They're a little heavy, but the battery life is excellent.

It wouldn't be noticed by you, it's noticed by the shorter folks. I'm tall enough to "pass" for tall, but no one says "you're tall" to me. My short friends have all had to deal with this phenomenon.

It can be worse, we had to add a captcha for those link scanners cause they'd submit the forms and invalidate tokens too:(

I have a plan to develop a standalone wow pserver that's all set up with directions on how to do everything so my wife, kids, whoever can plop my dimentiated self in azeroth where I can't get lost.

We use Alma, which is basically Rocky. Before that, CentOS. Lots of people don't need or want the expensive support contracts.

OSS support though donations and commits is the way to go unless you get value out of those contracts (we would not).

It probably was tested. I'll enjoy reading the post mortem they'll inevitably do. I'm going with, they tested it, but didn't text xyz that demonstrated the bug.

I moved over to TabloTV about 8 or 9 years ago. I got tied of fixing stuff when I would update something and Tablo just worked on the Roku without much fuss.

I'm still happy with and love the Tablo, but it's no better than MythTV was, just easier to maintain.

Be ready to deal with a backup plan. Consumer services like Backblaze don't work with Linux.

I have opted into backing my data up to a local network NAS machine which in-turn backs all of its data up to a StorJ backed s3:// compatible endpoint which is very inexpensive.

It takes a vigilante to raze a village? That other way?

I mean it, just like it is defined.

I have been shamed for not providing my pronouns in Slack. I think it's not important for me to do because it's easy to tell my pronouns by our language. If it was ambiguous in any way, I would feel comfortable providing them.

I do not shame or care if others use them regardless of their reason (support, clarity, etc) up until that reason is to passively or actively shame others.
