There are some reasons. Networking can get messed up, so Docker Desktop “fixed that” for you, but the dirty secret is it’s basically a Linux VM with Docker CE and some convenience network routes.

I agree, Rancher Desktop over Podman Desktop. But if you want to cut out Docker CE completely, I think Podman is the only option.

Podman or Rancher Desktop

If you’re thinking of something like $1-2/month, also consider doing a 30 dollar 1 time thing (it saves on transaction fees) and you basically just paid for 2-3 years of donations.

I might be wrong, but they meta-search across multiple providers, including their own. The real benefit is that YOU can choose which search subjects to prioritize when trying to find something specific.

For normal search stuff, this feels like “old Google” (no ai spam). For detailed searching, its better than any other engine I’ve used.

100%. Best option ever

I’ve been really happy with Kagi since switching.

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

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).

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.

Pay to play was the problem there. I had the highest ranking joke page on webcrawler for a stint, but Yahoo wanted $500 to put me on top. My 15 year old self was not interested.

I started cooking, period. My wife used to cook, now I do. It’s weird, but the pandemic totally flipped our roles.

This is what I’ve done on my last 2 cars. First was a Leaf that I leased dirt cheap. The second was a used Tesla at more than 1/2 off. I’m looking at a truck now and finding amazing deals on the '23 F150 lightnings. I’d prefer a Rivian and I’m not quite ready to let my Tesla go, but soooooon.

Someday, the deals will be harder to find, but for now take advantage!

Not in any order of magnitude

I have to look it up every time, but this is always worth reading once a year to remind yourself:

You don’t have to host only office to use the client. As others noted, it doesn’t do anything to combat non open standards, but it does work.

Check out Onlyoffice. Just the client (not the server part)

WAY better

Check out WeBoost brand repeaters. I live in what used to be a rural area and when we moved in the cell signal was trash inside the house but fine outside. Put an antenna outside on the roof, ran some coax cable to the kitchen and mounted a repeater there. No issues. Works for all major cell bands.
