Recently upgraded my WAN to 10/10 Gbit/s P2P Fiber. The router is a UCG-Fiber, connected via a DAC/SFP+ cable to a USW-Flex-2.5G-8-PoE switch. My APs were already Wi-Fi 7 with 2.5GbE PoE, so no change there.

Total cost was around USD 400. The result: effectively unlimited bandwidth, and, best of all, an average latency of 1ms to the internet. Do I need it? No. Do I love it? Absolutely.

I had the same feeling when I read the interview along with the attached screenshots. A nice way to start a Sunday morning.

My recipe: "Windows 95 System Programming Secrets" by Matt Pietrek and "Unauthorized Windows 95" by Andrew Schulman, years of fooling around with NuMega SoftICE, lots of IRC, lost youth, yet lots of fun.

When challenged why we'd scrum since we were doing better as a whole before (better products, happier devs), mgt replies that they'd need scrum to detail the work we did so that they could write longer bills to the clients.

How could Apple properly review something like this? Isn't it one of Apple's selling pitches that they'd review each app for malicious activity before it makes it to the app store?

Ditto. As an Android user, I am glad Pushbullet exists, and my whole daily workflow depends on it. Kudos.

How I wish there was a native version of ZTree for Linux.

Using borg here:

- configured through Borgmatic

- encrypted

- long retention (daily, weekly, monthly)

- stored on a relatively fast and large external backup disk (right now a Sandisk Extreme Pro SSD)

The backup plan is automatically triggered when I connect my notebook to the docking station. Never failed me and already saved me from the embarressment of accidently modifying or deleting important files that are not part of a git repo.

"By default" means it's just a switch in the Bios to fix this issue? If yes, not a big deal, is it?

Have you tried Inoreader (Pro)?

Tried various news sources, but got stuck w/ the following subscriptions: Washington Post, Financial Times & The Economist.

It used to be IRC mainly. Efnet, later Linknet or similar. Often involved the group maintaining their own server linked to the network (preferably hosted by an admin of a big university). The server not only made sure that only encrypted connections were allowed (hi Blowfish), but also that clients authorized to use it automatically received a spoofed IP/hostname (something childish like @i.am.too.leet.for.paradox.org) to hide ones true location.

I tried Peazip for Linux but it didn't quite work for me. I remember it as kinda buggy, and anyhow, it works like a Gui wrapper that uses external console binaries to perform actual compression/decompression tasks rather than having the routines built-in.

Regarding zstd: I would love to use it cross-platform, but zstd for Windows is still kinda exotic, and yes, it misses proper Gui applications. Now, if Winrar would support zstd... :P :P

ZTree Gold, my friends, is what I miss most dearly ever since I moved my whole life to Linux.

And not sure if Amazon would agree to this as it essentially threatens the privacy and integrity of their users. Interestingly, Keepa is also an Amazon Affiliate, so they are in a direct business relationship with Amazon.

It will join the Schengen area next. Also it plans to adopt the euro in 2023.

Sentimental perhaps, because of my heritage, but definitely also practical advantages. For one, citizenship makes owning property in the respective country easier. Also, should my children ever decide to live in Croatia, they could do so, no strings attached. Who knows what the geopolitical future holds? Will the EU still exist in 20 years? Will Croatia still be a member? How will current and future refugee crises shape local immigration laws?

Perhaps we're just lucky, but our Swiss bank was okay with it. We only had to guarantee to have a licensed US tax advisor prepare our US tax returns, filing requirements, FATCA/FBAR etc.

While Swiss banks are a bit crazy about anything related to the US (three years ago or so they just stopped accepting US checks from one month to the next, even though they had previously charged a crazy amount of money for it to be cashed in), I heard that banks in neighboring countries such as Germany are less concerned as long as your bank advisor follows some general guidelines.

The CBP immigration officer made an exception under the premise that we would expediently apply for the US passport at a local agency during our visit. We were grateful, because of course he could also have sent us back home...

There are exceptions to the rule (for reference see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_citizenship). Generally, a lot depends on whether you acquired citizenship by descent or birth, or acquired it by naturalization. Also, there are agreements between countries that you must consider.

For example, had Croatia not entered the EU a couple of years ago, it would not have been possible most likely to aquire citizenship for our children without giving up German citizenship. That is because Germany permits multiple citizenship only if you obtained another citizenship by birth and/or the other citizenship is either one of an EU member country or Swiss citizenship. Some with Croatia, which generally allows citizens by descent to have multiple citizenship, but foreigners wanting to naturalize there must renounce their old citizenship (with exceptions, of course). Switzerland on the other hand has no such rules regarding multiple citizenship.

It's difficult to not inform the countries of your multiple citizenship unless you don't apply for passports. With each passport renewal you must also state your other citizenships if applicable.

Anecdote: Shortly after the first child was born, we wanted to visit our relatives in the US. Our child only had a German passport, which we thought would be OK to travel with (because, why not?). Well, as it turned out, once we arrived at US immigration, we were in big trouble. Because our child was automatically a US citizen by descent, she was also required to have a US passport to travel from abroad to the US. This is because formally the US does not acknowledge any of your other citizenships as long as you are US citizen.

Our two children are 4 and 6, and they both hold four citizenships.

My wife is US American, I am German, my dad is Croatian and we've been living in Switzerland for almost 15 years.

When the kids were born, they both had US and German citizenship jus sanguinis. German passports arrived almost instantaneously. The US passports required us to visit the US embassy multiple times and fill out plenty of paper work.

Them gaining Croatian citizenship was more involved. First I needed to apply for it for myself through my dad. I also bought a second home in Croatia were we've spent most of our holidays. I also maintain a Croatian bank account that I use to cover local bills. It took several years and a good lawyer to get passed the beaucracy. Ultimately I received the Croatian passport and so did our children about half a year later.

After staying for over 10 years in Switzerland, my wife, my kids and I applied for Swiss citizenship. It cost us a couple of thousand US dollars, a clean record (no outstanding bills, no other credit issues, proof that you can take financial care of the family), proof of "proper integration" (like do I frequently visit the local pub... really!), a German language proficiency test for my wife, and a test for both of us showing that we understand the cultural, religious and political aspects of Swiss society. The process took exactly one year when we received our passports.

Was it all worth it? I think so. It is a liberating feeling to know that you can move between countries. We also wanted our kids to be able to choose for themselves where to live once they are grown up.

I have an ancient Thinkpad X200s with a cracked screen. For years it's been my favorite go-to home server running Linux + Docker. :P

Porkbun & Namesilo is what I ended up with over many years.

Where does it argue that you have to make an unauthorized copy of software?
