You might want to check out fatrace. It can tell you exactly which processes access the given filesystem.

Thanks for the confirmation. I actually considered that I just lost something in translation because of how weird this prompt is. I mean, what did they even try to say?!

Am I misunderstanding something or does this instruction contradict itself? “do not factor in” and then “keeping test scores in mind”.

I don’t think it’s a popular opinion among people who actually use Linux. But I did hear it as an argument against using Linux or an attempt at explanation why it’s not more popular.

Wait, why is this downvoted?

Exposing services to the internet is one thing. The other thing is that without really solid backup strategy you can just lose your files. Both concerns grow even bigger if you’re dealing with not just your own data but also your family’s or friends’. It’s a real responsibility.

I think it would be great if more people got into self-hosting but you really need to learn some stuff before jumping in. A single mistake can cost you a lot.

Yeah, it’s amazing!

I see nothing wrong with that.

I just think it’s fair to say the way they ask for donations is at least a little bit disingenuous.

It’s not that simple and transparent actually. Wikipedia doesn’t really need those donations to operate. They have money reserves for many years of expenses. I don’t have a great source right now but this article looks decent. I didn’t read the whole thing though.

For me it makes the text MUCH harder to read. Basically, instead of just quickly “scanning” the text I need to stop and consciously decipher words with this character.

When I read words I know I don’t read them letter by letter, I just recognize the entire “shape” instantly. The thorn throws this mechanism off completely for me.

I don’t like calling them an iditot just because of that but I have to admit I find this incredibly annoying.

I would say it does not. Well, I guess it depends on what you watch. The stuff I subscribe is nothing like TV.

Ah, yes, of course, because kids are usually bullied for a good reason.

No one hangs out with the mean kids and the nice and sensitive ones are universally liked. What a beautiful world we live in.

curl is obviously fantastic but for more complex ad-hoc requests I usually prefer httpie.

Most ebooks I bought recently come with a warning that the buyer’s data is embedded in the file to deter from sharing it online. TBF it cannot be hard to remove it but I didn’t bother to check how it’s implemented.

As a dev, I can feel how much easier to work with the codebase must be after migrating from scattered raw SQL queries to ORM. In my job I have a project with a similar problem and the transition is slowly going on for years at this point, still not close to being finished.

I think Linkwarden is fantastic but should be described and advertised more as internet archiving software than a bookmark manager. It really should be obvious to anyone that it’s downloading the webpages, not just saving links. I

I second this. Very light, feature-rich, configurable and works flawlessly. I use it for ad blocking, proxying all DNS requests to DoT upstreams, and local addresses in LAN and over Wireguard.

Thanks for this info, I had no idea. To be frank I can’t really wrap my head around the fact that you can be sexually aroused without actually wanting sex.

That’s what I would expect. Although I’m comparing myself to my similarly aged friends, and let me tell you, their chase of sex is not slowing down.
