I'm a sysadmin at a small shop and it amazes me how many of my coworkers don't know about or don't use netcat. Netcat, s_client, and nmap are super useful for quickly narrowing down the cause of a problem. I have been guilty of using nc to transfer files before, it's a good trick to know about in a pinch and where you aren't worried about the lack of encryption.
Sidenote, it could just be my Lemmy client but this post doesn't seem to actually contain a link to the article.
It's the FM Towns for me. I've never really even been into retro computers, but it just looks so cool.
I'm a sysadmin (for now) so it's patch week for me. No big surprises so far so hopefully it'll be a nice relaxing weekend!
What strategies or software are you using? My stuff is also kind of spread out right now: informal notes in loosely structured folders, formal stuff in a zettelkasten directory, bookmarks in a recfile, and work stuff in a Zim notebook.
Wow, I'm also ex-mormon and found myself in a similar position when I received a book on Isaiah written by my grandfather. It sat on my shelf for years until I was working my way through an ancient to modern literature reading list and read it alongside the old testament.
In the U.S., the CAN-SPAM act requires companies to honor your opt out/unsubscribe request within 10 days.

I try not too think about it 😬
I would guess everything together is around 800 Watts
Best and most secure is highly debateable and depends on your specific threat model.
Bitlocker is industry standard in IT for Windows machines and has support in Linux through dislocker. Its built right into Windows making it the easiest to use there.
Another option is VeraCrypt, which can do disk/partition level encryption on both platforms and can also do encrypted containers within the filesystem.
It's alright. I have it tied in to my existing Calibre library so my metadata and library management workflows haven't really changed. The process of finding and downloading new books has just been streamlined a bit.
Frankly because I haven't figured out quality profiles yet and saw separate instances recommended a few places.
For managing my library on disk, I just recently made the effort to set up the *arr apps. I love having the metadata, tagging, organizing, and file naming all consistent and automated. Previously I used mp3tag and filebot to manage them and it was way more manual. Everything is set up with docker-compose and Ansible.

For library frontend stuff:

I've used ledger on and off for a few years. I use it along with ledger-autosync to process the transaction files I download from Amazon, Paypal, and my bank. I haven't gone so far as to automate the import of those files, I just download them manually, but it does support that.
