The first thing that came to my mind is perhaps October Surprise is something pleasant and giving a feeling of relief after Eternal September

New Shepard (of Blue Origin that dick shaped space flight in which Jeff Bezos took off for his first mission)

Answering the question with a counter question

Why do we ask a question whilst already knowing its answer?

Start listening to Dr Michael Greger. You’ll thank yourself at 40.

When making your worldviews, difficult as it might be, consider listening to the news from original source. Say, for China related stories, look up Chinese publications, translate them to a couple of other languages you know. Ask yourself what each narrator or writer wants you to think and do after listening to their side of the story. This habit will make traveling a better experience in many ways.

Write a journal everyday. Write a meal and snack journal everyday and include any alcohol, drug as well in it. Review them every now and then. Never miss any vaccine. The journals will come in handy for everything from planning weight loss, effectiveness of any diet or exercise, sicknesses, mental health issues, to helping your doctors help you better. Course correction will get simpler and ever easier.

If you ever think of kids, do consider stopping with one. This boiling, frying planet we have made ourselves need not be inflicted on any more than one little one of yours.

Tangential answer. Consider looking into Prolog, Picat, Mercury languages. You can effectively let the database design be taken care of by the language. In return you get more time to reflect on your knowledge base and ask it all sorts of questions and get a range of possible answers.

Org-roam and its web cousin webnotes both have solved designing the database for note taking purpose using g sqlite as a back end. Good options.

I might have missed if it was in the article. Sorry in advance for that.

Do we have any idea regarding the top 3 or top 5 reasons that drove potential contributors away? Not in terms of hypotheses, asking about actual studies, interviews, surveys, etc

Byobu provides good abstraction on tmux as well as screen. Allows you to choose keybindings from any of the two.

A few months ago I blindly copied the hosts file from https://github.com/Ultimate-Hosts-Blacklist/Ultimate.Hosts.Blacklist as I was used to on BSD and Linux systems. It bricked Windows. Turns out that I had to use the installer script for Windows. Realised too late. That was my final goodbye to the Redmond giant.

For running a walled garden with iron grip, Apple allows copying the hosts file. Which I use for things like certification exams and any governmental agency stuffs.

Bash as it is what I’m most familiar with. Having an eye out on the https://amber-lang.com/ that compiles to bash for future scripting purposes.

Three diets come to the mind. Mediterranean, Atlantic, Mormon diet as it is designed and followed in America. Followers of these diets tend to live healthy and long. What the three diets have in common is, each of them is local and seasonal to a large extent.

Local and seasonal. Eases the transportation load and refrigeration load. Both contribute to what you refer to as good for the planet .

Perhaps letting every region design and foster its own local and seasonal diet is a good idea.

That brings us to the food industry. How may we escape the sales and marketing armies of the food industry? A great challenge indeed.

Indeed, haste makes waste

https://www.revi.cc/ – found this on another post here. Not sure how to link the post itself, so linking what the post wanted to share. This aims to debloat Windows, and is free and open source.

https://www.byobu.org/ can eschew both screen and tmux Mosh (the mobile SSH client, not linking here) if installing it on the remote server is an option

Every modification and deletion is prevented regardless of the method, be it mv, rm or other commands on the terminal or through a GUI, with or without sudo until sudo chattr -R -i /path/to/directory is performed

I think looking into man chattr is a good option for this

If the MacBook is an Apple Silicon Mn processor one, Asahi is the obvious choice

For other cases

My first suggestion would be to try the distribution you used in WSL

Second would be Linux Mint, can’t go wrong with either of Ubuntu edition or the Debian edition

Third would be OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. Though a rolling distribution, with easy rollback commands, any unusable state can easily be left behind

OpenSUSE newcomer here, from decades of Debian and Debian derived systems.

I vote Debian with Xfce4 for the base system with Nix or Guix to let the kids freely install and play with software as required without requiring root. Stable release should be good. Testing release if time and resources to keep up with the updates are at hand.

Along with teaching the kids computers and software, please also consider teaching them how the Debian packagers, maintainers, developers, testers, admins, etc work and might never meet others in the project whilst releasing a great system every couple of years.

And

In the off chance the files are not under git or some other VCS, might be a good idea to add the -b option to backup
