My 10 year old daughter has been rewatching it for years. She found a role model in Leela and a name for her cat in Fry.

As for the references and jokes, yea many go over her head. But as time progresses, fewer and fewer. And she often asks about stuff she doesn't understand.

Even without a complete understanding of the jokes and references, she absolutely adores the show. And is asking on a daily basis if the new episodes are out yet.

Yes. I used to do that when I had no other option. In my early days I managed to get a worm spread by a susceptible sshd in.. red hat 5ish.. don't remember exactly. But the point being: keeping things secure is hard work. And even then it might not be possible.

These days I use tailscale and essentially never leave my internal network regardless of being directly connected to it or not.

Set it up with your own DNS server and tailscale's ability to forward specific domains to your DNS server and it all just works.

I ran my own server for many years. There was a learning curve to all the fiddly bits (Postfix Configuration, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, SpamAssassin) required to get the world to see your server as worthy. There's also the problem of finding a "clean" IP that's not been blacklisted by some spam database. And even then, once in a while you end up in a database for who knows what reason. These things often made the email less useful as sometimes I'd end up in people's spam folder.

It was a good experience as I learned a lot. But it was also a constant headache. One I felt I didn't want to keep "learning" that particular thing I just moved to ProtonMail and haven't looked back.

The solution to pollution is dilution. Every sane user and instance weakens the grasp of the insane.

That was awesome. The winner of this movie was the potato chip. And learning to be OK with yourself. But, seriously, excellent job potato chip!

I'm a Fira Code (patched w/ Nerd Font) user, but love to try out a new font every once in a while. This one does look nice. Will have to see about patching it w/ the nerd font glyphs, as my tmux/nvim output is going to look like garbage w/o those.

I can't say it better than this post. Only thing I'll add is it's often just nice to have a shell on a machine outside of one's usual machines for debugging.

No. What's the Web 2.0 version of Embrace, Extend, Extinguish. Because that. Oh, and because that company is toxic waste. No, worse that that. At least toxic waste comes with the promise that enough work would leave it inert.
