Awesome, thanks for making my morning.

it was just kinda sitting in the middle of the room

In my experience, that generally means that it was already sick/dying. A healthy mouse doesn't get caught so easily.

Yeah, even if I didn't care about wildlife they'd be indoor cats to be honest, my house is situated on top of a dike, and road traffic is too unpredictable.

I tried all kinds of humane traps, they never worked for me. My mouse problem only ended when I got cats. Unfortunately one of them got caught, after that they just vacated the premises pronto.

General love for music devices that entice you to just fuck around and let accidents happen. Analog synths without presets and modulars are also very good at that.

Yes, systemd improved service and startup management. Likes launchd did for MacOS earlier. I'm just a bit grumpy because it didn't use to be that 'ps -axu' listed a shit-ton of processes on a freshly booted machine where I had no clue what even half of them did without looking it up. I'm sure there are perfectly reasonable motivations for all of these services existing, but operating systems do seem to have involved into being one giant honking attack surface.

MacOS has gotten a bit annoying over time, it used to be a very nice GUI layer over a solid Unix system. The soup of services running on a typical system these days make it hard to figure out what's going on. Ironically enough, Linux also started dropping the KISS principle the past couple of years, with the rise of systemd.

I'd be happy to use either, but Linux just lacks the ecosystem for multimedia authoring. Even if there were credible open source alternatives for programs like Logic and Final Cut, it would still lack in terms of support for specialized hardware (higher end audio interfaces, controllers), and third party extensions / plug-ins.

On a machine only used for browsing / word processing / text editing, Linux has basically been an acceptable alternative for about 20 years now.

I only use them authoritatively for the internal LAN-domain. I have hosted my external domains in the past, but most TLDs require a redundant DNS setup that I could at best fake, so I just leave that to an external ISP. Currently they're pi-hole servers using a local pdns-recursor as upstream for maximum privacy.

I run my own nameservers, mailserver, and webserver. As well as a couple of apps for file sharing and network management. Most of it runs off a HP machine I was allowed to screw into a rack of the datacenter my part-time job occupies. Some of it on local machines, notably a raspberry pi.

Haven't used it on the desktop since forever. On servers I use a mix of AlmaLinux and Ubuntu.

Today, someone showed me a picture of a pig defecating on its own testicles. This is what it taught me about levaraging B2B e-commerce solutions for small scale entrepreneurs.

Even if you're completely nato-brained, or even just think the Putin regime is made up of assholes, the Russian language is actually quite beautiful. I love singing Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov.
