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.

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.

I’m a web dev with a wife who is a researcher, and on the side I’ve built a few tools for her work. Web apps are great because cross-platform distribution and compatibility are non-issues. If you don’t need a database or server-side logic, a client-side only application is basically free to host given that it’s ultimately just a pile of static files. You can use localstorage for persistence, and because there’s no server logic you have a lot fewer security implications to worry about.

JavaScript gets a bad rap, but if you pair it with typescript and decent tooling it’s really not bad. HTML and CSS are an incredibly powerful engine for building UI, which is only getting better.

Friend, you need therapy. There’s no shame in it, it’s just healthcare like any other. Happiness and peace aren’t as far away as you feel right now.

Go ask your gay friend if they can tell a difference

Probably not great to return server stack traces. Otherwise, yeah
