Re:Donate – iTerm2 on Sunday December 15, 2019 @09:23PM (#21800384)
iTerm2 and DevonThink are the apps I miss the most from my old days as a OSX user.
Linux handles random in weird ways. Once I migrated from Manjaro to Arch just to learn a bit more about Linux in general. Boot was extremely slow on Arch, but the same setup was ok on Manjaro.

Thing was you need the Haveged daemon to generate entropy, something that should come within the kernel itself.

Re:Antergos Linux Project Ends on Wednesday May 22, 2019 @12:55AM (#19977896)
The team behind Antergos did a great service to the community by offering a ready-to-run Arch experience that was the closest to the real thing.

I will surely miss Antergos

I think DIY is the best route. Considering change is inevitable, I guess the safest route is to start and lead that change yourself.

In the end we are all humans even companies like Apple are run by humans.

Living in Colombia where a refurbished chromebook seems like the best option to run Linux on somewhat good hardware, these are good news for me.

Cool Idea, and very easy to migrate between VMs.
Re:Cloud Run beta pricing on Monday April 08, 2019 @11:08PM (#19611421)
Seems like a great alternative to AWS serverless offering.

I just want it to live past the beta, considering that last week Google killed two of their non-beta Services.

I guess enterprise trust them because they speak the same language. Also under Nadella's lead Microsoft has shown it can eat it's own dog food and turn it into profit. Turning from a software house into a full cloud business, the so called "digital transformation".

Most of their customers see that and wanna follow the same path.

It certainly will. Reality nowadays seems more fake.

Dmenu's patched versions can sort by use. Manjaro-i3 uses dmenu_recency
> It would be really nice if browsers kept a history of your last N window + tab sets and allowed you to restore them whenever you wanted, rather than only the last one, and only after it thinks it crashed. Because when it gets this wrong, you usually have no recourse.

This is possible using Tab Mixer Plus extension for Firefox

Re:ICQ: 20 Years Is No Limit on Wednesday November 16, 2016 @02:03PM (#12970229)
Back in 2004 the only way to connect to my employer's ICQcorp server from Linux was by running miranda under wine!

Thanks for that.
