When you lose a system. It responds to ping; all services are up, but you can’t find the damn thing.

So, not a number so much as a limit to your organizational skill+effort.

“there can be only one” is a common saying from the Highlander series of movies and TV shows, which refers to an in-universe event where “immortals” (they can be killed by decapitation) feel compelled to “the gathering” and slay each other until the last one receives “the gift”.

The series is named “Highlander” because the protagonist in the first movie, Connor MacLeod, is an immortal from the highlands of Scotland and often called “the highlander” by immortals, since he may be living under a different name (because even in fiction paperwork is a bitch).

Outside of the series, “highlander” variants of various games exist which impose a limit of a single instance of a card/token/spell/action where the standard rules have a higher limit or no limit.

Polydactyly is not uncommon in feral cats, but I have no information about the provenience of the photo.

I am not AI spam. I am sometimes stupid.

I seed, but I’m behind a NAT I don’t control without port forwarding, so I’m not a good seed.

Maybe I will do the seedbox VPS thing… after I get employed again.

Signal, Wire, and Jami all support group chats that are E2EE. Discord’s reasons for not doing it might not be sinister, but they don’t need that level of access to your content in order to provide their core service.

Plaid effectively admitted to stealing your transaction history and selling it to the highest bidder in the past. There was a settlement and they agreed to not to that in the future

Just don’t ever share your password, and certainly not your banking password, and definitely not with Plaid.

I have been in meetings which people who thought the fact that a user could use a different font, even only intentionally, was “unacceptable”.

I hope those people aren’t directing the ship at YT, but could be.

A Distribution Named SUE

Consistency. They don’t want to be at the whim of your font (which for many users will be the OS default). While it’s not frequent, sometimes Apple (iOS) or Microsoft (Edge) will have a very different interpretation of a Unicode emoji, which makes the UX of comments containing those emoji inconsistent between YT users.

The other suggestions are probably better, but you can technically self-host Wire (from Wire Gmbh) but I’ve never done it successfully.

New messages will show on all your devices, but yes, it is intentional that old messages are not available to new devices.

Same switch point for me, roughly, going from a Pixel 4 with jack to a Pixel 7 without.

There are situations where I prefer BT earbuds over wired buds, and I haven’t tried the adapters, yet, but I still long for a audio jack: it’s a lot quicker to switch my buds from work laptop to personal phone when they are wired.

I will look for a audio jack when buying my next phone… maybe someone will have figured a way to “hack” one into a Fairphone body?

I primarily operate in strict standard compliance mode where I write against the shell specifications in the lastest Single Unix Specification and do not use a she-bang line since including one results in unspecified, implementation-defined behavior. Generally people seem to find this weird and annoying.

Sometimes I embrace using bash as a scripting language, and use one of the env-based she-bangs. In that case, I go whole-hog on bashisns. While I use zsh as my interactive shell, even I’m not mad enough to try to use it for scripts that need to run in more than one context (like other personal accounts/machines, even).

In ALL cases, use shellcheck and at least understand the diagnostics reported, even if you opt not to fix them. (I generally modify the script until I get a clean shellcheck run, but that can be quite involved… lists of files are pretty hard to deal with safely, actually.)
