But OS X, macOS, and at least one Linux distro are/were UNIX certified.

The network gear I manage is only accessible via VPN, or from a trusted internal network...

...and by the gear I manage, I mean my home network (a router and a few managed switches and access points). If a doofus like me can set it up for my home, I'd think that actual companies would be able to figure it out, too.

...which implies the existence of integer women, real women, complex women, imaginary women, rational & irrational women.

Travel expense reimbursement


though many companies have a "no receipt required if under $xyz" policy.

Debian (i3 on laptop, headless on homelab).

But apparently my coffee is Arch.

Add to that photo editing (as much as GIMP is great...). I would guess DAW and video editing would fall under that category, too...and good luck finding many AAA open source games.

While "the system" is absolutely at fault for this, lifestyle creep


and changing finances


is very real.

For example, if you can almost afford a house, and your rental is modest, you're probably not spending all of your take-home. But if you make just a little bit more it might make financial sense to buy a house, stretching your budget to the max. Short term this really hurts, but long term may end up being a savvy decision.

Opting for a hefty mortgage can be risky, but can also pay off in the long run


especially in a place like California where property taxes are basically fixed at time of purchase.

You can roll your own saline nasal rinse, but it takes a little care to get the salinity just right. And best to boil the water first in case of brain eating amoebas (seriously


not common, but very, very bad).

I'm holding out for Aperture Science, if for no other reason than that their AI has a dry, dark sense of humor.

IIRC Torvalds uses Fedora.

(Debian for me.)

We have one kid, one one the way, and then it's time for a Balls Voyage party (or snipped but still equipped, if you prefer).
