I'd be interested in hearing about other setups. I use GoDaddy's SmartLine today - could you speak to how openphone.co is different?
Re:How and why I transitioned to Linux, and how you can too

Is there a pleasant way to run a Linux laptop today with decent drawing/touchscreen support, HiDPI, and working dock/undock multi-monitor support?
I have used various distros on and off over the years, but today I can run Windows 10 on a Surface Book 2, and the non-development portions of my experience are spectacular, for the low, low price of selling my soul: lazy file syncing with OneDrive, pen support combined with OneNote is spectacular. Unfortunately, WSL only gets me so far when I want to use more than vim. For better or worse, I don't get to spend all of my time coding, so I'd like Linux with a real, modern notebook experience that can let me get my work done without praying to the gods that my external monitors come back on when I plug in.

You're correct in that the current terms are a result of community backlash, or at least that's how I remember it. What would you consider "fair value" for such a tool? And does that include any period of updates and enhancements?

This. The JetBrains licensing model is great. Subscribe to get updates, with a perpetual fallback license for the last version when your subscription lapsed. Their old versions also continue to work across OS upgrades, etc. If you subscribe, the annual fee decreases substantially for the first few years. This is nothing like Adobe's Creative Cloud.

I don't know that this isn't to somehow collect up user data, but this could be to showcase PDFs with embedded video. All my experience with the company has suggested they're on the up-and-up, though.
Disclaimer: I've used the company's SDK fairly extensively in my own product (but I'm not otherwise affiliated with them).

I had the same reaction, though in comparison to other former presidents it could be considered accurate. I did find it interesting that he doesn't receive federal health benefits, having only 4 years of the required 5 years service. (He does receive them through Emory University.)

Does anyone hosting even their immediate family email have a plan for what happens when they're hit by a bus? I've documented how my wife or executor accesses DNS settings and how to access the vendor portals. I can't imagine them, bright as they may be, doing anything more complex than that.
