Ooohh, can I join the club? Been in choirs since I was 16, almost continuously until my early 40s, went on a break 'for a few months' after my Intercontinental move that ended up being 7 years...

2nd bass at scct.co.za since a few months now and loving it!

You are aware that there's a rust frontend to GCC in progress, right?

Is nextcloud actively engaging with governments to try and promote what you do? If so is there anything public on that that I can read?

@tiikerikani
Oh my.

In my case the problem was "your prepaid data bundle was supposed to be activated but it wasn't and now my 50-something megabytes of data usage was charged by the megabyte which cost me nearly 30 euros".

It took only a few minutes to get an actual human on the line, then a further few minutes for her to confirm and fix on their side and refund me 30 euros, so at least there was *some* competence there...

@vagrantc
Yeah, there isn't a packages.debian.org equivalent, indeed extrepo search is your best bet.

An Android tablet that you then root and run a normal Linux on? You can do this with some models, though unfortunately not all.

There are also some laptops that have detachable screens which then essentially turn into tablets.

@taylorlorenz
You can't do that without @cwebber at least

Switch to PPP over infrared.

It's the least reliable Internet connection I've ever had but it can't be worse than this...

@scottwilson
I think that statement made the person who said that, whoever it is, be the person who looks bad, and you sir are far too kind a human being for not publicly naming and shaming them ๐Ÿ™‚

@tiikerikani
+1. Soooo agree.

I had a bot yesterday going 'if this answered your question, you can just hang up', which I thought implied I'd get an actual human on the line afterwards if I stuck around, but no! The bot just hung up on me.

So I had to call back and choose a random different option in the menu. At least that did give me a human and the problem was resolved...

@zhenech
Yes, it could've been worse indeed

@meluzzy
You can also buy laptops with Linux installed from major laptop manufacturers these days. Dell and Lenovo, at least.

When you do, it works well.

'als maar kan' literally means 'as but can', but the sentence idiomatically translates to 'as corrupt as possible'

Sorry.

Try managing it when you move servers.

My current Algo:

- Get the new server
- Add the new server to SPF, and add it as low-prio MX (but don't run anything on port 25, yet)
- wait a month
- cross fingers
- pray to the gods of email. Like, *really* hard
- switch servers, but keep the old server around, just in case
- monitor results
- if problems occur: switch back and fix
