And of course all the basic security measures and Borg backup on everything.
Yeah, I moved into software from electrical engineering. “Software engineers” are rarely doing engineering. Though, weirdly, the LLM-assisted coding methods seems to be leading to more of a focus on specs, design documents, and testing methodology, which almost makes it more like actual engineering.
Are you suggesting there is something wrong with any of these names:
Before Linux had a shutdown command, you’d run “sync && sync && sync” then hit the power button.
The original Dracula is so good and the characters are so damn funny. You have the hero polycule consisting of a cowboy, a love stuck himbo, an autistic woman who’s special interest is trains, a romantic goth, a rich guy with a pack of corgis, an obsessive gadget guy and their adoptive eccentric uncle fighting against a man with a traditional harem he can’t keep happy and who spends half his time pretending to be his own servant to keep up appearances.
I finally figured out what it was, though embarrassingly I found out it wasn’t a punchcard, but a colored card with a barcode on the back.

A long time ago I had one with a mini trackball which I vastly prefer, but they dont make those anymore.
Oh I know, but that’s the only thing that’s more replaceable on a framework than on most Thinkpads. Other than that they are both equally repair/replaceable.
My first had a 5 1/4, and I’ve seen the 8 inchers, but never had the pleasure of using one.
That sounded way dirtier than I meant.
When I was looking at getting a nice laptop instead of my current high end desktop and cheap old laptop setup, I really considered a Framework. But honestly, Thinkpads are cheaper and just as repairable. Yeah, they don’t have the slide out port things, but they just have a lot of ports built in.
Nice, but it wasn’t a viewmaster. Similar idea, but it was an actual computer of some sort.
Related question for old data media enjoyers: I have extremely vague memories of a computer I used as a kid that had a punchcard like system where the holes had colored cellophane or something in them, presumably to add a few more bits of data per hole. I think the cards were probably some sort of plastic or maybe laminated paper? Has anyone heard of something like this?
Left to right:
I hate to be that jerk, but did you consider just implementing this as a front end to TaksWarrior? It has everything here, with 20 years of experience, testing and community, except for the nice GUI/PWA front end.
I get it man. My last year has been hell due to, well, a lot of things but in my case it was a sudden onset of a lifelong chronic illness.
As goofy as it sounds, one of the things that has helped the most for me, and maybe it will for you too, is the Klingon Therapist meme:
The battle against mental illness cannot be won decisively. It is a long campaign against an enemy who never tires, whose forces swell to twice their size whenever you look away. Battle against a foe of such magnitude, who occupies your very mind… every moment you survive is a triumph against all odds. There is no more honorable combat.
You are a true child of Kahless for confronting your fears and I am honoured to have helped you.
It’s bigger than you, and you are not me.
If expensiveBSD laptops had reasonably easily replaceable batteries I’d love to get an old one for Debian. But they don’t so I use old Thinkpads when I want a laptop.
oh oh! Are those the extra logos and things added by nerdfonts?

I use Hetzner, they’ve been easy to work with, reasonably priced and I’ve never had a problem.
