I chose Xamarin in the early days of Bitwarden because it was a technology that I was proficient at (.NET and C#) and it afforded me the time to maintain a mobile app along with all the other apps I was building for Bitwarden. Xamarin is a real time saver, for sure and it has served us well over the past 8 years, but it comes with some downsides as well: …

This sounds like a joke

“Boss” as in president of the company, that is.

What’s a Google takeout?

I can hear coil whine from my PC’s graphics card, but that’s it.

Edit: Also our home stereo system (not the speakers) when it’s turned on.

I used the have a PC that ran Windows XP, and when I moved the mouse, sound was heard from the speakers. It probably had a cheap sound controller on the motherboard.

I’ve never had issues with TERM=xterm

Kitty if you have a GPU and run programs that have a lot of output (build scripts and emerge). It uses the GPU for better performance.

If it will be used by non-tech savvy people, why do you care about snap and IBM? Do the people care about that?

When you start getting super specific about which distro you want, I think you should start looking towards a DIY distro.

Yeah, that’s half a litre of salty water soaking into your socks and shoes. I find that hard to believe

I wanted to use fio to benchmark my root drive. I had seen a tutorial saying that the file= parameter should point to the device file, so I pointed it at /dev/sda. As you might expect, the write test didn’t go so well.

Before installing Arch on a USB flash drive, I disabled ext4 journaling in order to reduce disk reads and writes, being fully aware of the implications (file corruption after unexpected power loss). I was confident that I would never have to pull the plug or the drive without issuing a normal shutdown first. Unfortunately, there was one possibility I hadn’t considered: sometimes, there’s that one service preventing your PC from turning off, and at that stage there’s no way to kill it (besides waiting for systemd to time out, but I was impatient).

So I pulled the plug. The system booted fine, but was missing some binaries. Unfortunately, I couldn’t use pacman to restore them because some of the files it relied on were also destroyed.

This was not the last time I went through this. Luckily I’ve learned my lesson by now

Besides contacting the admins, there’s nothing you can do at this point. Prevention is better than cure when it comes to internet privacy
