I daily drive Fedora because RHEL is what my industry uses and it’s good to stay on top of the technology.

I use all three. I have Windows on one of my machines that I use occasionally for gaming. I use Macs for work since that’s what all my corporate machines comes with and I daily drive Linux and use it for all my home servers.

Another main reason why I took off my hat back then was because I was a broke college kid with garbage internet speed and my only computer was a laptop. Torrenting shows sometimes means I need to have my laptop on for days. Now I have an entire homelab setup with a dedicated VM on one of my servers for torrenting and I can afford fast internet. I was pleasantly surprised how efficiently I can torrent when I got back sailing recently.

For me it’s just more power efficient to run a VM on my TrueNAS for this purpose if I need to download very large files over night. It also speeds up file transfer / storage.

Then you need both anonymity and privacy. Sometimes you do need both but they’re not the same concept.

Privacy without anonymity is you using the bathroom with everyone seeing you walking in. They know you used the bathroom but have no idea what you did inside.

Anonymity without privacy is like you pissing on the street with a ski mask on. Everyone saw what you did but no one knows who you are.

Having both is walking into the bathroom with a ski mask on. No one knows who you are nor what you did inside.

Informative tech content. I’m right leaning but more towards the center so I don’t agree with everything he says politically speaking, but I have no issues viewing his content since at the end of the day he’s still libertarian and anti-establishment. I also have no problems holding conversations with the anarcho socialists on lemmy, because at the end of the day they’re also not advocating for more control over my life, we just have disagreements on the technical details of how society should work.

I use a roll reverser app on my macbook to get around this problem. You can configure touchpad to be natural and mouse to be traditional

My mom is tech illiterate and I buy all her devices for her. If I gave her a Mac she’ll just use it without knowing what OS it is.

There are dual hose variations. I think Hisense and Whynter sells them here in the US. If you can find them you should always go for those.

“Strong opinions loosely held”

Implying you should have the courage to fight for what you believe is right but not hold onto them once you’re proven wrong.

I learned this as a company culture thing from one of my previous employers and not sure if there’s another source for it. I did not like that employer very much in the end but this quote has been stuck with me since and I live by it.

Stop pretending to be Americans, y’all are not even using freedom units /s

Not at all. RHEL is still the standard in my field of work and I’m not seeing that going away any time soon. So it makes sense for me to stay in the ecosystem for career development. If I see any evidence of future changes in Fedora that compromises privacy or security I might change my mind.
