Don’t know if this will help assuage your fears: https://www.techradar.com/news/mullvads-no-log-policy-proven-after-police-raid

I’ve used Mullvad for years, and from what I know, they store almost nothing – only your randomly generated account number. If you are paying using an anonymous method that’s even less to go on.

That is amazing! Now, I need to see about using weather satellites to explain the bugs in my code at work…

Me and my brother would sit in the magazine aisle at the grocery store and pore over Nintendo Power like it was a religious text lol

Also, you just made me remember getting all those demo discs with PlayStation magazine

Yes I’ve used rename! In my case, I just need to rename and reorganize a bunch of movies & associated metadata files into directories. I don’t have too many stored digitally now, so I think just shaving the yak and doing it manually via file share will work for now.

Never been an emacs user… Seems like quite a rabbit hole

I’ll look into sequelize! Also, we are undergoing a training right now. I have some previous experience from $lastJob with k8s, but I’m sure my knowledge is out of date so glad to be doing it.

Helix + zellij huh? I’ll definitely try it out

Laziness so far haha but yes that’s a good plan

Though we are moving to kubernetes & helm soon, currently we use migration scripting tools (like alembic) for schema and data migration on app start, and our infrastructure/devops team uses ansible for deployment. Currently, we don’t have CI/CD straight to production—it’s still a manual process—but I hope to change that as our organization starts using k8s.

• William E. Shotts Jr., The Linux Command Line: A Complete Introduction

It has taken me a long time to get comfortable using a Linux CLI (definitely not as familiar with windows cmd prompt/powershell), and I know that if I log into a box anywhere, If it has sh or bash or some variant of those shells, I’ll be able to get by.

Now, on my home server, moving & renaming a bunch of media files has me really wishing I had a DE installed there to Ctrl + click/Drag-n-drop…

Also, I love using VScodium/Code as an IDE bc of its configurability & rich plugin ecosystem – but recently I had some performance hiccups with extensions not playing nice together and started (again) down the masochistic path of configuring neovim to use as an “IDE”…
