Like setting option + number as a move tab-group in firefox for example, as that injects characters in open text fields

Been forced to use mac for like two years now. Have not figured it out.

Command is like Ctrl, not Control. Option is like AltGr... Almost. But there is no left or right separation (alt/altgr). Option cannot be used as a modifier like on linux like super can. I use a windows keyboard and move command to ctrl, control to super, and option to alt.

Then if you ever gotten used to the two clipboards that linux has (highlight + middleclick & ctrl+c/ctrl+v), only one remains but some terminals emulate this behaviour. I would suggest you turn it off right away, because it gets very confusing.

I have used brew for a package manager. It is not great. I had issues where a package upgrade would break my workflow but it did not keep an older version for a downgrade. If it was my personal mac, and for some reason I would keep macos on it, then I would try nix as a package manager instead. Also, if you use bash or not, you probably want to install latest bash (mac only ships with a very old bash).

I have not found a terminal emulator I really like, but I use kitty since it allows me to remap some keys. I suggest you start looking for a terminal that you like right away.

This affects EU citizens too. I myself had problems moving back to my own contry.

I'm thinking the same. The anti-immigration stuff already is hitting researchers. Getting registrerd, getting a bank account, a phonenumber, the apps (in sweden it is more or less necessary to have an id-app created by a cartel of banks). All of them are growing problems for immigrants in general and researchers in particular.

Found signs

Is this a "best fit" sort of result or an actual significant measurement on the equation of state?

String theorists have conjectured that the exclusion of a (positive) cosmological constant explanation for dark energy is a prediction of string theory. If this result holds up, that line of research seems quite interesting.

Exactly, and the guidance should reflect that fact is what I meant. Just saying "just have your papers in order" in clearly insufficient.

You should comply with all entry, visa and other conditions of entry. The authorities in the U.S. set and enforce entry rules strictly. You may be liable to arrest or detention if you break the rules

This seems... very insufficent as a warning. Or have they formalized conditions at "not be critical of cry-baby in cheif" and similar things which has landed people in detention?

God help me. I'm so tired. I need my sleep. I make no bones about it. I need eight hours a day, and at least ten at night...

This is what Swedish unions did even more directly. A company hired labour from Latvia I think it was. The union showed up and said that thats all fine, but you have to pay them properly. None of them were members. They picketed the company for the sake of non-members wages. Why? To avoid social dumping down the line.

An attempt at a generalized joke:

-- We are recuting you for the GOP. It says here you are a conservative force?

-- Yeah. I go around in circles and do no work.

Det är också lite motsägelsefullt att hon samtidigt säger att hon ska handla i de lokala butikerna. Ica är ju det lokala.

Nån som driver ett monopol-mål emot ica? Varsegoda!

Why are rich expats more likely to pay taxes in sweden in the future than expats who could not afford tuition?

 

Hi,

I'm looking for some way to send my own alerts via e-mail in some way. Whenever I try to search for this, most docker images have a much grander goal, and I have a hard time understanding how to use them for my purpose.

What would I want? It'd be nice to have a docker running some smpt-server (I suppose), so that I can make my own python script that scrapes a website, looks at some metric, and e-mails me whenever whatever I'm looking for is found. I only want it to be available on and to receive mails from localhost, no dns, just forward e-mails to my personal one, no web-interface, etc.

I'm quite new to self-hosting, but I hope you still understand what I'm looking for. Is it possible? Should I look for another solution? Will this not work? Any help/input very much welcome.
