#introduction Hello! My name is Russell, but I tend to go by Russ!
I'm a software dev (I tend to prefer backend or possibly mobile development) who tries to dabble in what tech offers these days - I might even be one of those "tech enthusiasts"
I also have always been a fan of #opensource and enjoy self-hosting stuff, even if I don't have an immediate need for that particular "thing"
Generally I'm an open book, so feel free to ask me whatever you'd like!
How do you pronounce gunzip? #BoostsAppreciated
Migrated my email server earlier this week... Thought it all went well, until I finally noticed that I hadn't received any email since then lol.
Unfortunately, I'm not sure why, but the emails weren't bouncing back, they were just eaten so I hope I didn't miss anything important (which shouldn't be the case) π€·ββοΈ
The phrase "Trust, but verify" comes to mind...
#tzag Hello folks! I'm feeling quite cheery this morning which is an interesting change... I'll take it though!
Favorite Linux desktop workflow?
I'm genuinely curious. I love i3wm, but there are times it feels clumsy, especially when at work and I have a LOT of windows open (I primarily use tabs, or what POP!_OS calls stacks).
Don't just vote, tell me *why* what you chose works so well for you, and how you got into the flow of it.
I'm looking into alternatives for my current setup for my professional workflow (non-tech, non-creative type work)
Kindly boost for more nerd-coverage. :D
I'd rather not try to explicitly say whether the impressions are good vs bad, since I think a lot of this will come down to "I need time to understand the nuances of #nix"
Trying out #NixOS since it's been on my radar for a bit. Initial impressions? This is going to take some getting used to... π€
#Halo was also fairly good - it's a shame the other episodes (especially E08) weren't like this one.
Hopefully season 2 continues the momentum we've picked up.
#StarTrek What a fantastic episode of #StrangeNewWorlds today!
I think SNW is on track to be my favorite of the lineup - or at least, extremely close!
I am a software developer who converts caffeine to code!
I also happen to play games - you're most likely to find me on Destiny 2 however!
Linux is my preferred OS (I tend to gravitate towards Arch based distros), but use whatever works best for you!
