An English-speaker friend of mine expressing her frustrations with trying to learn languages with grammatical gender:

"English may be three languages in a trenchcoat going through other languages' pockets for spare grammar, but at least I don't have to try and remember whether those pockets are girl pockets or boy pockets."

Police are starting to turn those Ring doorbells into an always on surveillance network. So, if you have one you are now literally snitching on your neighbors to the state. Throw it away.

hey, #linux #hacker and all kinds of #sysadmin folks...

Do you still use (or want to use) Thinkpads as your go-to #laptop ? If so, which model would you recommend? If not, what would you use instead?

I've been adopting various kinds of laptops over the years, from Chromebooks to Dells to Macs, and I think maybe it's time just to have a normal laptop when I'm on the go. I'm thinking something serious, heavy, sturdy, wired Ethernet connection, USB 3s and Cs, etc..?

also, #debian over #Ubuntu ?

My new laptop is almost fully working after eight months.
