I dont think the average power user needs to understand DNS. Knowing just that it can be changed (and can fix things or break things and whatnot) is probably already plenty.

Connecting to SSH seems like something a "power user" should be able to learn but not necessarily know already (probably more likely they know what a VPN is)


Very cool

Seems like this could also be used by call centers to realtime adjust their accents. Text is obviously easier to analyze (no realtime required) but I imagine that audio is not that hard to process real time.

Calling for home internet support and getting the person on the other end (in a US Southern or Boston accent) asking you to "do the needfull" could be pretty entertaining :-D


Why bother with accents when you can replace the call support workers alltogether with AI? Isn't that why all AI companies have gorillions in valuation?

KeePass ftw

Just make sure you have backups


Jails have been around a long time in comparison

I still see FreeBSD as being great for things like networking devices and storage controllers. You can apply a lot of the "cattle vs pets" design one level above that using VMs and orchestration tools.


Best thing to actually do is use as dim a screen as possible closer to sleep. You can do this with external monitors using DDC and actually directly control the physical backlight of multiple monitors.

Also properly color calibrate your monitors


Best thing to do is use a scripting app that can make hotkeys for controlling monitor brightness. You can directly control the actual backlight of the monitor and lower it in the evening and at night. Same as pressing the physical button. Great when you have multiple displays

It's still a standard ish format though and not designed from the start for archival

Apparently mini discs use a different burning method (obviously) and are very very stable.


IIRC there exist "magneto-optical" disks and drives for PCs that use a similar technology, but they were niche even when that technology was current.


Or the tiny CPU on the networking hardware chip


Do most people even use MDM on laptops or desktops ? I see it mostly used on phones


Corporate laptops? https://business.apple.com/
