hm so I'm experiencing a semi-serious/annoying bug in Kubuntu 18.04: every once in a while one of my two monitors goes dark? My solution so far has been to unplug the external monitor and plug it back in.

I don't think people understand how many of us at Microsoft love GitHub to the bottom of our hearts.

If anybody decided to mess with that community, there would be a riot to say the least

New post on how I changed the way I use password managers to fix make my password-related workflow 100× better.

Partly inspired by @kev and his recent posts about password managers
