  • It’s not overnight, it takes a few weeks.

    It does require some discipline and willpower (like figuring out how much coffee you currently drink, then remembering how much you can drink now).

    If you are ADHD or just scatterbrained then yeah might not work, but you really can do it.



  • I found macOS difficult to use.

    For example, while you can have multiple desktops, each application lives on one of them. So collecting a browser and some terminals on a desktop and then having a different desktop with a browser for another purpose doesn’t work.

    There are a dozen examples of this, but in the end If your workflow doesn’t match the Apple way, then you are out of luck on macOS. It’s kind of the opposite of KDE. 😆









  • You don’t have to say that you’re vegan, but it can simplify things when they either try to suggest other non-vegan options or insist that you really, really should try the steak because this one is really good

    Unfortunately it often leads to people reading the menu and pointing out everything on it that is vegan, as if you don’t know how menus work or are struggling to read the same menu that they are. I know people who do this have their heart in the right place, I just wish their head was also in the right place. 😅




  • A TCP session is a unique combination of client IP, client port, server IP, and server port.

    So you can use the same IP and port as long as the destination is a different IP or port.

    This means that in principle you could use the same IP and port to connect to every IP address on the Internet using 65536 concurrent sessions. 😆

    This wouldn’t help going to popular destinations, since they have a lot of people going to the same IP address and port, but for many (most?) of them you probably have some sort of CDN servers in your data centers anyway.
