I nowadays manage my private stuff with the ansible scripts I develop for work - so mostly my own stuff is a development environment for work, and therefore doesn't need to be done on private time.

Here in Finland Fazer fills real egg shells with chocolate for easter, with the 4-pack also sold in egg cartons.

killall typically sends SIGTERM by default. It accepts a single argument, the signal to send - so shutdown would call it once with SIGTERM, then with SIGKILL. killall is not meant to to be called interactively - which worked fine, until people who had their first contact with UNIX like systems on Linux started getting access to traditional UNIX systems.

It used to be common to discourage new Linux users from using killall interactively for exactly that reason. Just checked, there's even a warning about that in the killall manpage on Linux.

If you want to stick with that "one key" approach - get a hardware token like a Nitrokey or a Yubikey. That should also work with most Android SSH clients.

Additionally there's not really a good way to enter them, especially when using physical keyboards.

Over a decade ago a D-Link employee gave me a screwdriver with the comment "that's our only usable product". Nothing has changed much over the years.

My 9yo daughter has a tablet with family link, so I can monitor what apps she wants to install. As the garbage games are mostly at the top free, she keeps asking for games that I reject, in most cases because it's riddled with ads.

Did you ever consider using this as opportunity to educate your daughter about ads in general, how some games try to push adds to get you to do something, and also how some games have game mechanics trying to push you to do specific things, and then just let her figure out if those games are worth playing, or not?

She's definitely old enough - I had that discussion with my daughter when she was 5, we have an agreement that we limit the number of games installed on her phone - and the kind of shitty game you're talking about typically gets uninstalled again pretty quickly.

In a few years she'll be able to install stuff by herself - if you never explained to her what and why games/apps are doing she'll not be ready to deal with that, and it'll be out of your control.

The data should be bypassing your internal disk, though depending on the hardware involved it is possible (yet nowadays unlikely) that this will cause swap to be written to the internal disk.

You can watch which device is being written to using iotop.

In Germany a lot of people reduced the amount of cycling they did once they had a driving license - now here in Finland a lot more adults keep using bikes, and also use it in Winter. Back in Germany I always was the odd one for cycling in the snow.

Starting a camp fire is something I'm teaching my kids just because I don't want them to burn my house down - being allowed to play with fire outside along with an explanation of which are the dangerous bits took the fascination out of all the fire starting equipment in the house.

I hate the marketplace thing, and the harder it became to filter out third parties the more I ordered outside of amazon.

I came to amazon back then because it was one seller offering most I cared about, and a single contact for everything. More and more stuff is now only available via 3rd parties - and with that I can just order stuff bypassing amazon.

We cancelled Netflix about a year ago for good - which made me setup stuff like Sonarr. Without Netflix being dicks I wouldn't have proper pirating infrastructure...

While I still pay for Disney+ we're also throwing everything we care about into sonarr - so if they do something stupid I'll just cancel and still have everything I want.

Names starting with Nigge are not uncommon in German - it can be traced back to old lower German, meaning 'new' - as in, the new guy in the settlement.

In some cases local dialects ended up adding an r to it over the centuries - and nowadays a bonus of problems signing up to websites.
