Depending on the state, some agencies will test drinking water samples for a small fee that is much less than $200. In Michigan, the department of health did it for me. This is likely hard water. And if it’s from a well, it should be tested every so often anyways.
Check to see if your local government does this instead.
Portable monitors have been extremely convenient when I used to travel to a client site to program. A cheap one is worth getting.
Wait what
Just use Debian tbh
HP stands for heinous product.
And honestly, nano as the default makes sense, it’s lightweight and gets the job done. I still have that as my default.
Honestly, most of the defaults are good enough for me. I just run vi and it does the job well enough. If I need to configure a good dev environment, I’ll just install stuff with apt-get install and mangle stuff onto my PATH.
Java is absolutely not dying… unfortunately. Billions of people depend on spaghetti code written by corporations every day. I think Java will be the next COBOL. It won’t die and it’s unfortunate.
Debian, because I can just have a computer without needing to fiddle with a million things. I work in tech and don’t want to mess with any more code or configurations if I’m on my own computer. It’s worked for me for 5 years and has worked for others for 30 years.
What’s with everyone recommending a different distro instead of trying to help the user in the thread?
Color me confused, but what’s wrong with stock Debian?
Technology was a mistake.
Just use nano or vim
