You may be fewer irritated by this with age

Misusing words like “setup” vs “set up”, or “login” vs “log in”. “Anytime” vs “any time” also steams my clams.

I use Fossil for all of my personal projects. Having a wiki and bug tracker built-in is really nice, and I like the way repositories sync. It’s perfect for small teams that want everything, but don’t want to rely on a host like GitHub or set up complicated software themselves.

I had this set up the day it was available in my area. Never got an alert. I find it difficult to believe I wasn’t “exposed” during the pandemic, so I assume this didn’t really provide much value.

This is a good reason to use Dvorak

Got it. So more for data at rest rather than handling the sending too?

SimpleX does file transfer pretty well, not sure about Briar now that I think about it.

Briar and SimpleX seemed decent the last time I looked into this.

…then there’s a 22 kW gas generator that handles everything once it switches on.

Playing devil’s advocate, I’d be worried you’d avoid doing work you don’t want to do, but is core work that needs to be done. Not all employers want or are set up to employ wildcards. You may have to make your own path here, too.

Kagi’s verbatim search does this. You will actually get no results if nothing matches. It doesn’t change your search and give you something you didn’t ask for.

Quoting in a normal “All results” search works, too.

The exchange rate is pretty good right now.

Did you just assume my ¥der?

I’ve been on Fastmail for 10 years. It’s a great service.
