@aral Don't know which part of "I don't speak for FOSDEM" is so difficult to understand, but you do you.
Yes, Free Software is about politics. Which politics? Depends on who you ask. Some will say that freedom/privacy/human rights/democracy are part of that, but not everyone will, and that doesn't mean they're not part of the community.
This is an important debate but I don't think one in which FOSDEM as an organization has an opinion, even though some of its members might.

I felt that I couldn't pay attention to more than three displays. Even though the displays were arranged optimally (the desk's 2 on stands side by side, the laptop and portable one below those), it quickly became impossible for my brain to care about the fourth display. I'd often look from the laptop to the portable monitor and back, occasionally to top left, but top right just kept being ignored, even though lots was happening there.
YMMV, of course.

I tried the 'four displays' setup when last I was at my work's headquarters. Each desk there has two monitors connected to a USB-C docking station; I added my own USB-C portable monitor, and obviously also the laptop's built-in.
3 is useful. One where you work, one with the result of your work, one where you have reference material.
I had no real use for the fourth. I tried my mail and chat clients there, but that just didn't work for me.

Agree with most of what you said, do want to point out that the last bit (firewalls) is not a problem if you use podman as your container platform.
Apologies if you know all that already, just thought it might be nice to know.

@aral Good thing #FOSDEM isn't about freedom/privacy/human rights/democracy, then. It's just about Free and Open Source Software.
(disclaimer: yes I'm a FOSDEM organizer, but no I don't speak for FOSDEM, my thoughts are my own)

I've done L1 tech support while in college, can confirm.
People ask you to help fix their internet connection but you have to explain to them what 'right clicking' means, first. Nobody wants to do this.
Doesn't excuse not doing it. Nobody wants to call people to sell them things they don't need (BTDT too -- not proud of it, was desperate) yet they somehow find people. If they can do that, they can also find someone to answer a f***ing phone.

Of course, there could be off-by-ones depending on the exact birthdays, but those are details.
Also, I believe you and your younger sister could be twins, but you and your older sister can't be without also being triplets.

year between the siblings, a fairly safe assumption unless you are half siblings or you are triplets).
You could be triplets (in which case you would all be turning 42 today).
Failing that, assuming your older sister was 23 on your younger sister's 21st, she would now be 46, you would be turning 45, and your younger sister would be 44.
If your older sister was 25, she would now be 50, your younger sister would now be turning 46, and you would be between 47 & 49.

Happy birthday!
Also, no, you can't work it out.
What we do know:
Your younger sister's 21st birthday is in the past, otherwise your older sister's date of birth would be in the future (an impossibility).
Your older sister's date of birth must be long enough in the past that, at a point where your younger sister turned 21, she was half the age she is now while (probably) being 23 or older herself at the time (assuming there is at least a

Hugin has a mode to blend HDR pictures. It takes some practice, but if you get it right, the results are amazing.

Well, ED25519 isn't NIST, so that would make sense (no point in having a security standard if you're going to allow using algorithms that aren't part of said standard).
I suspect using ECDSA with one of the NIST curves works? P-384 is pretty good too, and not suspect like Dual_EC_DRBG always was, even before Snowden confirmed it was compromised.
