I open my laptops and pull the webcam and mic cables. I can use my external headset mic and an external webcam when/if ever needed. I need a webcam like once a year if luck..(unlucky🤔)😅

perfectly fine. You may bottleneck your I/O depending on how fast your storage array is.

I run mariadb, postgres, and InodeDB all on the same box. No issues.

My databases are on solid state storage arrays backed by zfs. Years running 👌

No, computers are style products produced by Apple.

Can you get a load of this guy?
What does science have to do with my sweet iPhone23 with its 13 cameras for more realistic food texture.
Look, look, look! *snaps photo*
This is what you'd look like if my Friday night roast beef dinner replaced your eyebrows!

@nixCraft Almost exclusive Linux user on desktop, lab servers, and cloud.
Literally built a "console" this long weekend and struggled for two days 4 distros to get Steam to launch 2 specific games. I just wanted a set and forget console, boot to steam, I don't need to be home for the family to play a game. Failed ❌

Back to Win 10 Pro_x64, auto login, added Steam as the desktop Shell. 95% everything plays on Linux. I have so much tech to maintain daily my game console doesn't need to be one.

@nixCraft Punctual and adhd

Sister: What are you typing?

Sister: Why are you typing like that?
Me: Like what?
Sister: Like that!
Me: Turns on markdown render
Sister: 😮 show me how to do that! What is that!?
Me: Markdown, its a markup language.
Sister: *eyes glaze over* never mind, not worth it.

@nixCraft mySQL, I'd love to get more familiar with postgres this year.

@itsfoss My desktop can barely show a notification properly. But my terminal and vim customizations are on point 😅

@nixCraft :blobpeek: never lol

@nixCraft yes! Enable it in your `.bashrc` everywhere and never leave it.

@nixCraft Coming from the trades, no. Nice, but never expected. Fight for strong compensation for your time and value year round and never be sad when bonuses don't come. When you get random unplanned bonuses it is not only financially sweet but the surprise can really ice your cake!
