Password protip for those with useless users to administer: tell them to stick any foreign characters they have in there. German umlauts, that weird Swedish nonsense, obscure currency symbols - anything outside of ASCII is great.

If anyone here's looking for an #opensource project to contribute too, please, please, please consider supporting one of the many great screen readers that help #blind and #visuallyimpaired users enjoy a more open - and less money restricted) computing experience.

Also TalkBack for Android (Google's been making it awesome with updates, but the opensource version is years out of date).

With great power comes great thermal management

I really enjoy working in i3. It's simply one of the best tiling WMs out there.

Why did no one tell me how much fun #Rust is to learn?
