Reason 7 To Choose Linux 😍
You decide when to install updates and reboot your computer!
Security updates are critical. They should be done early and often to keep your computer safe.
But you don't want your device to force an update - and then reboot - while you're working.
With #Linux, the decision when to update is yours.

Hey, Linux people: a LOT of folks are screaming off Windows right now.
Be. Kind. To. Them.
They don't know much yet, so they are going to ask really basic questions. If you're KIND, you might get some to give it a try and stick to it bc they know they can ask for help. If you're unkind, you're showing them using Linux will be worse than Windows. If you can't bring yourself to be kind, then SAY NOTHING. Let others pick up that slack.

Cross-compiling a #Rust project that has custom build scripts that build C/C++ dependencies is an absolute clusterfuck!
I'm trying to cross-compile a Rust project from #Linux -> #Windows (x86_64-pc-windows-gnu) and I get walls of errors!
Some I could already fix by setting env vars to different compilers (gcc, g++, oh my!), but now I'm stuck. Maybe some missing compiler flags to gcc?
Or could it be related to this?

Never trust untested backups. With Borgmatic, use borgmatic check --verbosity 2 for repository integrity and borgmatic extract --dry-run to simulate restores. Schedule monthly tests.

Just in case there is somebody who is using Clear.Dental in production, I want to let everyone know I am making a number of major changes in the next few months (see attached image)
These will be major changes that will help bring Clear.Dental to the mass market. Now that Clear.Dental is the only Open Source EHR/PMS, getting people to switch has never been more important.
