Going from my laptops to a client’s Windows machine feels like I’m stepping back in time, every time.

Even my Win10 VM is light years ahead of Windows ‘proper’ because of all of the modifications to make it usable.

MS Windows belongs in a museum, not at an office or on a desk.

(hate spewed at me by Adobe Premiere)

None, I live on the hook. No rent, no slip fees.

I use a private PO box from a company that specializes in Dockside Services in Seattle / Ballard Wa. address, mail, ID, etc etc services for roamers. I have them forward to a temp address or General Delivery wherever I’m at. I also can use the Amazon lockers / Wholefoods, but I try to as little as possible. Outside of the US it gets a little trickier.

Thank God you don’t either.

Booooooo. Mr. Seriously over here.

Lighten up Francis.

At anchor, lock it up, have a neighbor look after it, pop a fresh prepaid SIM into the camera, but that’s only like once a year I do this and ‘flyin’. I stipulate only a certain amount of fly-ins a year.

I do primarily remote work, my current employer is based in France and anything I do for work marine wise is local, unless I’m helping with a delivery.

But if I had a 9-5 brick & mortar job, I would just leave & lock the boat, take a 10-20 minute dinghy ride in to shore and tie up / lock up at a public dock (some have a small fee).

aaah man that makes me sad. Are you sure you can’t still do it?

Yes. It’s a Bayfield 29 to be exact

I do freelance / contract work in IT and marine/boat stuff. I live on anchor for about $2000 / yr, that’s the cost of replacing ground tackle (anchor chain lines parts plus some extra$). No rent.

I fish/crab/lobster, but it’s not enough for full-time subsistence.

My 29’ sailboat. I’ve lived aboard off grid for over 5 years now. I’ll never willingly move back to land, I’ll die out here. Under $20k btw.

You forgot the /S.

You should only change distros because you friggin feel like it. Don’t gatekeep man, it’s fun to try new things, especially when they are neato free and useful. Be supportive of exploration, that’s how new things get discovered.

Love the Descent franchise, especially Freespace .

Normalize 6D games!

LibreELEC

This should be pinned at the top.

I’m broken, but I show up and do the work …

You don’t need it. Save your $.

Purchase a used laptop for $300. Install Lini (Linuxes, Linuxis?), learn.

No, because it’s Discord, no.

No Mercedes, BMW, Lexus or R. Rovers owners, 100% deal breaker 100% of the time.

Rude to hospitality? I’ll 'go to the bathroom ’ pay the bill, and cold dip out the back without another word.

Basically I want a hippy bartender who inows how to use a razor who drives a beatup old pickup with a wonkey muffler.

Than Brothers Pho, don’t miss it.
