That "96% Tibetan language" stat is a classic distraction. It ignores the cost of that statistic. You can boast about language retention while simultaneously criminalizing the Dharma, arresting monks, and using state violence to suppress any mention of the Dalai Lama. A language isn't "thriving" if its speakers are being systematically silenced through fear and imprisonment. Don't mistake linguistic survival for cultural freedom.

I’m looking into getting some domains for email, so I don’t need to use the same few addresses for everything.

Getting a custom domain for email is smart. It’s a necessary step given how data is treated these days. The domain becomes your identifier, but it's essentially arbitrary. I switched from sharing a single email address (which predictably led to breaches and spam) to creating dedicated emails for each service. Now, when an account gets compromised, I just redirect that email to oblivion. It’s a clean break, and a strangely revealing look at how online identities get resold and repurposed. Worth considering.

Ghostty's beauty comes with a frustrating config price! Copying terminal entries or hacking the .bash_profile, for ssh connections, just wasn't worth it. Back to the reliable "boring" terminal.

It's a bit mortifying to admit, particularly given my tendencies toward data hoarding and building hardware for the long haul, but I've historically bypassed the whole NAS concept. My methodology has been straightforward: a motherboard with sufficient SATA ports (eight or so) and a collection of HDDs crammed into a standard desktop tower. It works, technically. But I'm now hearing a lot of chatter about NAS solutions, and I'm wondering what I'm missing. What's the compelling reason to introduce networking into this equation when I already have direct access to all my drives? What are the practical advantages of a NAS that justify the added complexity and cost?

Remmina proves a reliable solution for remote desktop access when a graphical interface is required. However, for more streamlined operations, terminal-based SSH access ssh username@remote_host remains the preferred method. Establishing passwordless authentication is, naturally, a matter of convenience. The command ssh-copy-id username@remote_host facilitates this process. It’s a rather elegant solution, isn't it? A testament to the power of minimalism.

Indeed, LibreOffice Calc is a near-daily fixture in my operational workflow. The insistence on proprietary, data-harvesting alternatives like Google Docs is… unnecessary. For Debian-based systems, the installation process is straightforward: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa & sudo apt install libreoffice, referencing the official documentation at https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Install/Linux
