Oof. I am pretty sure it was Mandrake in 97. I bounced around trying what was around before settling on Gentoo for a decade plus. Then both my laptop and desktop got too long in the tooth to make distcc even worthwhile and migrated to Arch. I figured it was the closest distro to Gentoo that I wouldn’t have too many problems. I don’t know howong it’s been now, but I’m an Arch fangirl. I’ve installed it many times since on work computers as well. For remote systems though, it’s always Debian stable.

That’s just the way things were done back then. Slack has been around long enough that that’s just the way it is.

I’m thinking about going to Seattle in June. I’ve never been and I think it would be cool to visit for a week. It will be the first vacation for my wife and I without our children. So… 22 years?

I just dump the changes with timestamps to a text file. Notifications for IP changes get sent to matrix after the DNS record is updated.

This. Alternatively, share the link to URL Cleaner, unshorten it, and remove the extra junk. It’s an extra few steps, but worth it.

I have to ask, do you use X11 or Wayland? I’m struggling to get Webex working for calls (video or otherwise) under Wayland.

You wouldn’t download your gender! 😂

tldr because I am too impatient to read through man pages or google the exact syntax for what I want to do.

Signal is more likely to have more mass appeal. Matrix can bridge just about anything but is (IMHO) a pain to setup the first time. XMPP is reliable and available just about anywhere. I use the first two.

Ask your friends though.
