what electronic door lock do you recommend?

I use the new Yale Assure without keyways, it makes me feel like I’m blocking pickers but I realize that if someone wanted to break in they could just smash one of my many windows. I like the convenience of not having a key on me and being able to have the pet sitters and cleaning people let themselves in with their own codes so I know when they come and go, but that’s just me!

Linux in hospitals?

None of the hospitals I’ve worked at (in the US) have used Linux, and I’m pretty surprised some do! Given that we used Internet Explorer up until the very last second before it was not supported, I don’t know if any change would be welcomed, unless a hospital somehow started out with Linux. But at the end of the day, it would be about to e electronic health record, if it was supported or not… I don’t know if Epic, Cerner, or AllScripts do!

What is your favorite domain name provider, and why?

Reply in thread

Also just switched to Cloudflare (used to be google domains)… since they run half the internet, they probably won’t be going anywhere anytime soon? Feels like every service gets sold/acquired and I have to change everything over every few years and I’m getting tired hahaha… also their DNS changes update basically instantly and are easy to do for this newbie!

is there any drawback to having too many partitions?

I’m not an expert, but one drawback is the potential for one partition to become full when the others are empty… However, it looks like you have several different file systems, so a leaner approach might not be doable. May I also recommend something like proxmox to virtualize different OSes, although I’m not sure that would meet your needs.

Not sure if you’re on iOS, but I’ve used Overcast for years and absolutely love it. There’s a function called “sort by oldest/newest by podcast” which I use for exactly the function you’re looking for!

Explain bidets for me please.

I use washcloth to dry off afterwards. I bought a cheap pack of like 50 on Amazon and keep them in a basket and wash them after each use, they definitely last the week or so between laundry loads. It may not be necessary since I think some people use the same towel several times but it’s not a big deal for me.
