I seriously need editable TODO tasks and calendar running on the desktop wtih CalDAV support and reminders (Linux, wayland).

Maybe something like that exists, but I haven't found it yet. I will probably have to make it myself when I find the time.

It reminds of this:

There were more options on the website, but I forgot the name of the website, and I cannot find it now... :(

You cannot call yourself an admin if this didn't happen to you.

oh, this is bad. I use SteamDB to check for new releases and get info about games... how am I going to find new games now?

I always wondered why those solo devs/admins don't ask the community for a help if they feel the pressure or transfer it to some other hobbyist that would have the time for the project, instead of making a decision that pretty much dooms the project?

I feel you.

I heard the banks where I live are thinking about providing multi-generational loans so people would be able to pay for them.

I never understood why are people scared of regular expressions. I love them and they can be quite usefull.

Here is an example of one regex I wrote recently - it is used in replace:

(?:^-\[[^[]+\]$| ?\[.+?\] ?)

Looks interesting, but it does have serious issues:

1. Cannot change controls.
2. Performance is bad. Lagging as hell.
3. Missing textures:
4. Sound does not work.

That's why I hate banking apps. It's 5-factor authentication for me and it's seriously annoying.

The factors for logging into the internet banking are:

1. Having a password manager - Something I have
2. Remembering a master password - Something I know
3. Having a banking app on the phone (🤮) - Something I have
4. Using a password to log in to a user that has the app installed (I have a GrapheneOS and the banking app requires Gurgle services, so the services and apps must be separated) - Something I know
5. Using a PIN inside the banking app to confirm the login - Something I know

It would be nice if there was a button or some app that could temporarily disable the keyboard, so it could be cleaned without accidentally changing settings for a running app, writing your boss you are not coming to work on Monday, firing few nukes, or wiping your whole system.

Just give any American $1000 and they will be happy to do that.

It's not a bad idea but that idea breaks as soon as you have to change the master password. You would have to change every one of those passkeys. Which could be annoying, if you have a lot of them.

As someone who has been learning Japanese for a very long time, I can tell confirm that Japanese grammar is quite complicated, as others have said. One example could be that adjective clauses go before the noun, instead of after the noun, which could be hard to wrap one's head around it.

The other issue is that the sentence structure is different from other languages. Japanese language uses Subject-Object-Verb structure instead of Subject-Verb-Object - to put it simply, sentences end with a verb. It could be a problem for a beginner, or even when you get to the intermediate level, where you could start hearing 3 complete sentences before getting to the first verb.

And another potential issue is that there are multiple levels of politeness. Each level changes how you say verbs and some other words. The highest levels even change some verbs to different verbs with the same meaning. But this is mainly issue only when you are planning to live there or work in Japanese company.

I don't know much about Mandarin Chinese other than that it uses different tones to pronounce words. And if you are like me, who doesn't hear those tones, it could be impossible to learn.

I believe learning Japanese pronounciation is going to be easier for some people, but it really depends where you come from. I never had to learn Japanese pronounciation because it is almost identical to my own (slavic) language.

I'm still scared every time I have to update something, so I try to avoid updates if possible.

Most of the time when I had to update Windows or some software, something would break (and no previous bug would be fixed) and I would have to spend a whole day trying to fix the stupid issue.

TBH, I don't even remember if an update ever fixed something for me (but it probably happened at least once).

I'm really glad that me and my friends decided to build new PCs the second we saw the first rise in RAM prices. It would have been hard to survive this on our 7-10 years old builds.

For that long? There are only a few left:

• Firefox
• Thunderbird (not loving it, but it is ok)
• 7zip
• My own app for sorting and moving files
• My own password manager

If I include games then:

• OpenTTD
• Quake III Arena (for LAN parties)

There were more that I loved, but I have stopped using them a month ago. (Because I switched to Linux):

• MusicBee
• FastStone Image Viewer
• MPC-HC + madVR
• StrokesPlus
• Q-Dir
• Malwarebytes Firewall Control
• Input Director

I never had the chance to try Plex, but how does it compare to Jellyfin? What kind of features does Plex have and Jellyfin does not and vice versa?

Examples of basic features I'm missing in Jellyfin:

• Create a user-defined collection (like group of favourite movies)
• Adding user-defined tags
• Filtering by tags or any meaningful filtering
• Filtering by languages (however this could be done by using combination of 2 different plugins that add tags and create collections)
• [Important] No movie/show relations (e.g. The Lord of the Rings 1 -> 2 -> 3)
• No way to know if movie/show belongs to any collection

I have the keyboard plugged into a monitor and accessing the USB hub is seriously complicated, so that's not really an option for me.

But I could try locking the system. I just hope I won't lock myself out for few hours, because I have pressed Enter multiple times while cleaning it.

Every insteresting game I "bought" on Steam is backed up (including a crack if required).

There are quite few things you can do, depending on where you live:

• Do not put your real name or address into the forms if possible.
• Use temporary phone number.
• Use alias email address and change it if it gets leaked.
