Heh, well yes i’m sure they would have rather I didn’t hang on to my last one for 10 years; in fact its still going too - like i’d done with the last two macbooks i’d owned it went as a hand me down to my father who just uses it for email & web browsing. I’m hoping the Air will be around a similar amount of time - it will probably come down to battery & flash degradation over time I suspect.
Ah well that was just me replacing my personal laptop, so the 10 year old machine had been outperforming my 3 different work laptops (typically Lenovo, running Windows, refreshed every couple of years) all the way up until I got the Air.
Yeah me too; I bought it to replace a 2013 MBP. Its so light, the battery life is rediculous, and its far gruntier than I need for the work I do which is mostly in a shell / nvim etc anyway.
you can use it gently, the best EVOO you would just want to leave as is, but the lower quality ones would be fine for say the low temp saute you might do for a puttanesca or whatever.
I think that’s probably the distinction though; EVOO has a much stronger flavour than the more plain OO. The latter is totally ok for a saute, or sweating off veg for a sauce etc, or roasting but as you note with a lower smoke point not so great for say doing steaks, or stir-frying - and far too expensive for deep-frying!
I’m still running an iPhone 8; my partner’s broke so she upgraded to the 13 mini about 6 months ago, and now I have regrets that I didn’t as well.
Heh, mine’s not so different, multiple subnets - plus Wireguard :)
I don’t exactly know why but in the end it was definitely a inter-vlan connectivity problem I kept hitting. The pain was trying to prove it out as the official Nginx Proxy Manager container for unraid didn’t include anything like ping / traceroute etc.
I had a similar problem - the auto-renew didn’t work.
My setup had nginx proxy manager running on an unRaid box using macvlan network, and connected to unifi switching. What the problem was for me was the NPM box wasn’t able to get external network connectivity so like you I ended up reinstalling it all over again.
Problem kept happening, so in the end I just ditched it all & went CaddyV2 and (touch wood) so far no problems.
I haven’t got time to take a decent look at this right now, but will try to make time later today. But I had nightmares getting Nginx Proxy Manager to behave reliably on my unraid box - with Vaultwarden (among other things) as well coincidentally. And subsequently I ended up switching to CaddyV2 as it ended up being easier to get running and has (touch wood) so far been more stable.
Here’s a couple that haven’t been mentioned yet:
Depends on the pot… I have a bunch of cast-iron & carbon-steel pans and most of those would get a hot rinse, and then a wipe with an oily cloth after going back on the element to heat back up & dry off any excess water.
My cheaper saucepans I probably wouldn’t bother unless there’d been a mishap and an egg had cracked - but we also have really hard water here so its often a good idea to wash from time to time.
I self-host a bunch of stuff and don’t bother paying for a static IP.
I just have a cron job running that checks my IP and then uses API calls to update my DNS settings. I’ve got the DNS setup with Zonomi which are a local company, it costs maybe a couple dollars a month & i’ve got 8-10 domains running at any one time.
A great many people really like OSX; its been a long time since i’ve daily driven it but there’s stuff about the way it works that feels more efficient than windows, and easier than linux. That’s not something that appeals to everyone but its obviously worked for a lot of folks.
So back in the day it was about getting to use OSX (and in other cases apps that were OSX only, or just ran better in OSX) but not having to pay so much for the hardware. That’s a calculation that to me really only made sense for desktops; as for quite a long time Apple’s laptops weren’t actually massively more expensive than a similarly spec’d windows laptop.*
Overtime i’d argue that linux desktops have caught up to a lot of what made OSX feel good; but they’re not like for like even now. Though take that with a grain of salt as I spend more time in cli/tui nowadays across my macbook, work windows laptop and various linux boxes i’ve got running :)
*The thing was that the average windows laptop was under-spec compared to a Macbook Pro so the latter always looked way more pricey.
