KeePassXC for my Windows and Linux computers. KeePassDroid on my Android phone. All three are synced in Dropbox

1) styropyro

An amazingly enthusiastic guy who demonstrates his custom built laser cannons and other fun physics experiments. Really recommended and inspiring to watch.

2) VoidRealms

Click on Playlists to see all his tutorial series. I've only gone through his C++ Qt series but it's really great quality.

LOL, I found this hilarious because my 5 y/o kid wakes me up when it's time for food. Definitely gonna "fork" your source here and try it out myself :)

After installing Momentum I was about to do a google search for some troubleshooting. So I open a new tab like always and paste the error message from my clipboard and press ENTER in haste. Momentum must've had autofocus on it's initial "What's your name" input field, because I mistakenly set my name to `ntu gnome-software error`. This was a year ago, but it's so amusing I just kept it.

Good evening, ntu gnome-software error.

Emoji in the url? Oh humanity, what have you done

We use pfSense at a client of mine and it's great. I didn't have any prior experience with it but I only spent a couple of nights setting everything up. We use it to manage firewall rules and as DHCP server for 2 VLANs.

We've used it for about a year now. Had several power outages. The pfSense box is still running like a champ, no problems whatsoever.

Turns out my client actually wanted an email spamfilter though, but our mail is hosted in another country so I had a little trouble explaining why our internal pfSense couldn't help us there. Oh well.

This is Googles captcha system and its used by a bunch of services. It has nothing to do with Mailchimp (except that they use reCAPTCHA) so changing mailing list provider for this might not be a wise idea.

With that said, I much rather prefer this new reCAPTCHA compared to their old version with hardly any readable characters.

Wow. I thought it was a joke but reading the docs and even your workarounds for keyboard layout issues for Mac/Linux/Windows does make it seem real, or else why put in so much effort.

The website girls are hilarious in a ridiculous kind of way.

Very original project :)

How can you even afford manufacturing? I'm guessing the market for these little utility-keyboards aren't really big. And most factories require a certain minimum order quantity.

This'll be a fun gift for our network engineer next christmas :)

I got a nice domain a couple years back and for a couple of months ago I redid the site to try out GravCMS and now I use it to write small "TIL" (Today I Learned) entries.

I use Todoist for notes that are potential tasks. Some times the line can be blurry so I have to regularly clean my Todoist tasks.

For the rest I use Google Keep which I've found to be quite handy. Nice UI and it's available everywhere. I've already sold my soul to Google so why not let them get my notes as well.

I setup a Windows 10 computer the other day. When I was done with the initial configuration I opened control panel to add more local users. I'm clicking on the button to add a new user, and guess what happens; The modal window to create a new local user actually shows a loading bar, because apparently it's connecting to some online server. To make things worse, that server was unavailable for some reason so I actually couldn't add local users... "please try again later", ffs.

I got around the problem by using the tool "lusrmgr.msc", but still. God knows what else is going on.

For learning, I have a directory in my Dropbox called "Programming" with a subdir for each programming language. Then I make my test projects/tutorials in single dirs, for instance: /Dropbox/Programming/Lua/helloworld

For other projects which may or may not develop into something bigger I put it on Github now that my subscription offers unlimited private repos. Previously I hosted them on Gitlab.

I like to organize the projects with Git because it'll often go months between when working on different private projects and by looking at the Git log I quickly see what was the last thing I worked on to get back on track.

Interesting! 40 of my 102 games haven't been played yet. Jesus christ, I'm gonna have to call in sick next week to catch up here.

Please don't make Starcraft 1 AI any tougher.

After so many years I still can't beat that beast on Easy.

Yeah it's pretty dangerous to browse Steam now... I already purchased 4 games today (even two AAA titles), and I still have 5-6 untouched games from the last christmas sale.

I think the question was how to earn money, not spend money :)

It's true, Windows and OSX are usually miles ahead of Linux in terms of the desktop GUI. But I absolutely love the simple beautiful UI in elementaryOS, it's a delight to work in. It is my primary OS on my laptop. I also has Windows 10 installed, but everything feels more instant in Linux. God knows what Windows does under the hood to make it that slow and unresponsive.

I installed the latest version (Loki) for a couple of months ago and except from 1 issue with "wobbling" mouse cursor (resolved by installing some xorg components) it works great.

I had some troubles with the previous version (Freia, I believe), more specifically the desktop manager would frequently hang. Luckily that haven't happened once in Loki.

All of the tools I use on my Windows box are availble for Linux as well: Netbeans, Jetbrains Pycharm, GitKraken, Chrome, Slack, Dropbox etc.

The only thing holding me back from switching primary OS on my desktop computer is gaming.

Wow what an original VPS provider. Love your Privacy policy and Terms of Service :) How on earth do you get customers?

Keep it up, good luck!

Does Microsoft or Apple have a similiar infograph publicly available?

I doubt it, but it would be interesting to compare nontheless.

For my personal computer I use Microsoft Security Essentials / Windows Defender. My biggest threat is when my kid is using my computer and playing on some flash game websites, so all my user accounts are currently non-administrators which atleast might mitigate some attempts.

However, at work it's a different picture. We have 300 "lusers" and everyone are eager to click on the newest malware on the block with no thought of consequences.

We've tried several AV products and right now we're using BitDefender which seems to get the work done for the most parts. First time we ran it, It found our (IT dep) 10 year old Red Alert 2 .exe crack so that was quite amusing. It also has few false positives and hardly ever makes itself noticeable in resource monitor.

Clever one, love it :D

I'd like every editor to have a universal function to show a list of keyboard shortcuts, for instance the F1 button (because this is regarded as "Help" in Windows environment).

I often use different editors (and on different computers), so keyboard shortcuts may differ. Sometimes I can't remember the shortcut for what I want to do, so it would be very handy to press F1 and see a little cheatsheet of all the available shortcuts, instead of opening the settings menu and clicking through 4-5 submenus to find it.

Other than that I'm quite happy with todays editors. I'm coding in both Windows and Linux environments and all my editors works great for both.

For larger projects I use Netbeans 8.2 (Web backend and frontend). It comes with everything I need out of the box, the only plugin I sometimes use is the Zend HTML thingy (for creating HTML markup macros).

For Python projects I use Jetbrain Pycharm.

For anything else where I don't really need advanced features like PHPdoc or autocomplete I tend to open Atom (previously Sublime Text until the Atom hype got me).

From a commercial point of view it kind of does. If the development costs exceeds the increased revenue it's not really worth it.

I kind of agree but I think there's a few subtle changes as to how you phrase it.

I sometimes type "Please note <something important>" to make sure the recipient pays extra attention to this bit and actually notices it, because people have a tendency to read through email very quickly and skip vital parts. I know this for a fact based on stupid responses I've gotten.

"Please note" never implies it should actually be noted on a piece of paper, just notice it and ready it thoroughly.

"It should be noted" - however, could be interpreted as you want the recipient to actually write it on a note.

Edit: And yes, Tesla's use of "It is important to note" kind of falls in the gray zone for me... but I've never even considered this an issue

Thanks for the tip about "Everything". Tried it for the first time now and, oh boy my life just changed. This is incredible! I'd like to see that quick ASCII search implemented into Windows. The included webserver is also fantastic.

In addition to Office their Windows volume licensing is quite expensive, and I assume most of the Fortune 500 companies use Windows desktop clients.

Sure they're declining on the server-side, but the majority of mid-large sized companies except for tech startups use Windows OS.

For the companies who are 100% Microsoft and who happen to drift everything themself, it quickly gets ridiculously expensive if you calculate MSSQL, Sharepoint licenses etc.

I probably don't have as much experience as others, but I've dabbled around in a few languages and I think my best/most fun experience was when I were learning and creating a couple GUI desktop programs with Qt framework in C++ using their Qt Creator IDE. It's really a blast to work with and everything just feels in harmony.

What about; increasing the text limit by 30 extra characters for "Premium" (paying) users? Idea of the century, you're welcome TwitterHQ :)

For a second there I thought GitHub itself had 12 million internal issues

I leave home at 0700 to drive my kid to kinder garden and myself to work which begins at 0800. I leave work at 1600 to pick up my son and we're home at 1700. We try to get him to bed at 2000 latest. I have to go to bed somewhere between 22-23 so usually no more than 2-3 hours every day.

Sometimes I'm too tired to work on my side projects so I end up playing videogames or stream some TV shows to relax.
