    Everyone’s different idk. I myself love command line. I have enjoyed Linux for a long time but it didn’t really become my daily driver until recently. I find it very rare that I use the GUI for more than gaming and watching stuff. Everything else is command line. I’ve had friends refuse to try Linux due to the “requirement” of needing to do stuff in command line. When I showed them some newer distros that appeal to users who don’t really feel comfortable with command lines.













  • It does look like the prices changed recently. I have 2 houses currently with similar plans. My currently living in house is using the Xfinity modem and costs $25 /m but I guess that’s the modem and the unlimited so not too bad.

    My other house has my own network system and not using any Comcast hardware and that one is $30/m.

    The bad part for me was until recently they refused to give me unlimited (when it cost $50) and I wasn’t able to get it for a while. It just wouldn’t go through. I got my fair share of overage charges cause of it. I’m sure if I spent enough time bitching at support I could get something from it but I don’t have it in me to do that lol








  • I too would like to know. I use the app Due on iOS. And it is nice and not a sub (though after 1 year you technically need to buy it again IF you want features that released into the app after 1 year of your purchase. It’s also iOS only and doesn’t let others force a notification on you. But if they have the app they can create a notification and text you a custom link to auto add that notification to your app. For anyone reading who is on iOS and wants something like this. due is really cool. Notifications but with a lot of customization. Most important feature is that you can use critical alerts. So like an alarm it can override silence mode or focuses to notify you every X minute until you snooze or dismiss. Can also disable snooze but then I find my self dismissing without actually doing it.

    Either way a platform agnostic proper notification system sounds right up my alley. Just googling around I found Apprise and Mind might look into that later (don’t know nearly enough to say if it’s a viable alternative to Galarm or Due but seems extensive and lightweight.
