It was a good answer anyway

People love to repeat this but it’s not as comforting as you think it is.

Don’t forget waking up hungover, checking the time, and seeing you still have 3 hours to go in a loud metal tube.

They cite grsec, that guy is a notorious troll. I’ve seen customers apply their patches thoughtlessly, on bad advice, and bring down production systems. Linux security isn’t perfect (if it was I would be unemployed) but a lot of those problems are solved on properly configured modern systems.

This is really it. I’ve been working remote since well before 2020. If my office were 12 minutes away by bike I’d be there every day. Having an entirely separate space dedicated for work is great, actually! Especially if your team is all there too.

But when I first went remote it was 90 minutes by car, and half my team were in other countries. Going remote gave me 15 hours per week of my life back. There’s nothing you can do to convince me to give that up again.

Perchance

I do Linux research for a living and I barely give a shit.

I used to self host email and got sick of my emails never getting through. Email is federated in theory, but pretty centralized in practice. Paying for Proton was definitely worth it.
