Your best option by far is to overwrite windows completely. For most software development Linux is way better anyway.

I haven’t done this recently enough to guide you on the details, but step zero is to decide whether you are certain you want to dual boot or not. It adds a lot of complexity and brittleness that is best avoided if at all possible.

• Try to find Linux compatible replacements for the software you need.
• if that doesn’t exist, see if you can run it on Linux with wine.
• If that isn’t possible, consider running windows inside a virtual machine on Linux.
• If you do want honest, bare-metal windows then using two different physical drives will be easier and more reliable. Ideally your laptop has room for two drives, otherwise you can dangle a USB SSD (not a flash drive). Windows won’t install to a USB drive but Linux doesn’t care.

Yeah, I tried it but that experience isn’t as good as a native app. No swipe gestures, and an extremely basic UI

Miniflux has served me very well for years, combined with a few different apps. Reeder on iOS, I can’t remember what I used on android but there were plenty of options

It’s the only time normies encounter the word.

They don’t have to, algorithms do whatever they are designed to do. Long division is an algorithm.

Profit motives are the issue here.

Season 2 gave us avatar Wan, which was great

H model C-130s, the ones with the 4 square blade props? The engines and props are mechanically governed. There are electronic corrections applied, but the core of the systems are purely mechanical. Still flying.

Agreed. OP was doing well until they replaced the if statements with ‚function call || throw error’. That’s still an if statement, but obfuscated.

Software & Services:

• Restic client
• Restic REST server
• https://github.com/rbuchberger/res-man + systemd timers or cron to configure & run restic nightly
• healthchecks.io for monitoring
• ntfy.sh for notifications

Destinations:

• Local raspberry pi with external hdd, running restic REST server
• RAID 1 NAS at parents' house, connected via tailscale, also running restic REST

I've been meaning to set up a drive rotation for the local backup so I always have one offline in case of ransomware, but I haven't gotten to it.

Edit: For the backup set I back up pretty much everything. I'm not paying per gig, though.
