All devs turn 40 and quit their job, buy a cottage near the forest and start growing their own vegetables anyway, so you just need to stick to it for a few more years.

I have to use windows for work. Installed vim through winget and set a powershell alias, allowing me to use it similarly to linux. Windows ist still just ass though.

I have 250Mbit/s in a really old building within a small to medium size town in Germany

Vi yes, vim no

I just have them check for my wifi. If that’s what they’re connected to, then the nas is available. If not, then there’s no point trying to mount it. However, one day every month my nas pulls updates and shuts down afterwards, so that I need to boot it again when I get home from work. But my laptop boots just as fast as it normally does, even though it fails to connect to the nas.

Write a systemd service, that’s how my computers mount my nas. you just need to have it run under your user instead of root or point it towards the right keys manually.

This is one of those things that just don’t make sense to me as a german. I can call in sick and if I’m able to show up in the fourth day again, then I don’t need to see a doctor at all. And the ‘sick days’ I get are infinite by law, although afaik the company can require medical attestation if I’m sick too often in order to prevent abuse.

They don’t even let you log in if your browser is set to block third party cookies. Fuck Microsoft.

Ignore them, as long as your firewall is set up properly.

brave also works very well for this. Just don’t use any of the other chromium based browsers and you’re fine.
