I have an email address and shell account on a SCO UNIX system that I've had since 1994.

I miss Soylent as well. I think the peak was the bottled version right before they switched to the "sqround" bottles.
I too once held to that ideal, but after typing almost exclusively on Model M keyboards for 40+hrs a week (Unix Sysadmin + gamer ) for 30+yrs I started to feel some strain in my fingers and hands.
About a year ago I switched to the SS Apex Pro with adjustable magnetic switches and I've been pretty happy with it so far. Yeah the software is kind of stupid but the actuation points can be adjusted and saved into several different profiles from the keyboard without the software, so I've been pretty happy with it so far.
Reminds me of a lyric in a song by Ren:
Swallow all your morals, they're a poor man's quality
XFS on my server VMs and my laptops and desktops.
ZFS on my file server. I'd use it on my laptops and desktops too (and have done when I was using Xubuntu) but I've switched toFedora which doesn't come with a way to easily install with ZFS and I don't feel like jumping through hoops to get it done. And I can't stand btrfs. I don't know what it is about it, but I just don't like it.
When someone else has the hiccups, cup your hands together (like you're about to pour water in them), hold them in front of them and excitedly tell them repeatedly (in a loud-ish, hurried voice like you're about to miss out on the chance of a lifetime):
" Quick! Hiccup in my hands! Hurry up! Do it! Hiccup in my hands!"
Gotta do it quickly and unexpectedly enough to surprise them. They'll either be so surprised that they forget the hiccup, or they will actually try to do it but be so focused on it that they won't be able to.
It's got a pretty high success rate for when I've tried it.
Almost every job I've had in the past 30 years 'required' a degree but I never had any problem getting hired without any degree.
Trying to, but every time we do the right loses their damned minds.
I love how people like you take "It's about damned time we have a woman (or black, circa 2008) president after centuries of not treating them equally" and somehow interpret that as "We're trying to keep the white male down".
Yeah pretty much. I mean I do the best I can (and I do have resources to look to for help).
I'm an old fogey who grew up reading physical books and newspapers but I absolutely need dark mode on backlit displays. I despise light mode.
I might if it wasn't a billion degrees outside from late -April though mid-October.
