This is the story of a Johnny Rotten.

His vote is a drop in the bucket anyway

We are all just drops in the bucket on this blessed day.

Nice, which brand/model? I have a scale for making pour-over coffee that has 0.1g precision, but I seriously doubt my scale is actually accurate to 0.1g.

Roland was a warrior. From the Land of the Midnight Sun. With a Thompson Gun for hire. Fighting to be done.

Eleanor

Eleanor (spelled "Ellinor" here) has definitely made its comeback already, we considered it if we got a girl (got a boy instead) and have since met multiple Ellinors in his age group.

A music app like Spotify founded by Jay-Z

Really? That's not how I remembered it, I just thought he bought the existing service Wimp and rebranded it. Kudos to Jay-Z if he actually made a music streaming app though.

Does it count if the secondary "server" is a NAS?

My unpopular opinion is that I absolutely hate this phrase. Also, "not gonna lie", yuck.

I'm weak for "it's a Dutch paradox".

Interesting, how would that work if your corporate IT department uses an (Azure/Entra) active directory system? Can you use a bare metal Linux OS on a Microsoft-based domain service? Asking out of ignorance and curiosity.

As an engineer, all my jobs so far have used niche internal corporate software which would only be available for Windows. This would be Document Management Systems (DMS's), internal reporting tools (progress and hour keeping), software distribution programs etc.

And of course the engineering tools themselves are often only built for Windows, whether it's proprietary PLC programming environments or CAD software.

That said, I can run both WSL and a corporate-approved Debian VM on the same work laptop as a compromise, for whatever makes sense for the task. Still sucks though! At home I'm a Debian fanboy 4 lyfe.

Sounds like a good way to spend a Friday evening.
