The original TWM is definetely an experience nobody should miss. Like lighting a fire or washing your clothes manually.

You do not use TWM, do you?

Well, umbrella literally means “little shadow” and is aptly used as a synonym for parasol in severeal languages. Just because the English misused them to shield against rain does not change the meaning. Or perhaps it does?

Of course. Obviously linux is the 55^th version of nix – LVnix, not the 51^th.

There is no such thing as a generic installer for all linux distributions. Distributions differ, and you cannot assume that an install script that works for distribution X will work on distribution Y. And that’s exactly why linux is almost unusable without a package manager – you’d have to manage dependency hell, install paths, configuration and uninstalling process on your own.

By the way, software repos are not maintained by the authors of projects, they are maintained by the distributors.

Furthermore, piping a downloaded script into sh is such terrible practice, that everyone who offers this idea is either a malicious actor or utter ignorant of any basic security practice – you wouldn’t want software from either.

There is the gutenprint project supplying drivers for a lot of older printer models.

The recycling industry begs to differ. Well, exceptions prove the rule.

Ah, I got that wrong. Yes, Windows XP was the rebranded Windows NT 5. Thank you for the correction.

AFAIK, Windows was discontinued after Vista. Windows 7 is actually the 7^th iteration of the Microsoft version of OS/2, which was rebranded as Windows NT with the release of the third version, and as Windows sine NT with the seventh version. Windows 9 had to be skipped because a sloppy version check for Windows 95/98 would have failed.

Might be wise to not accept the offer of the installer to partition the device in this case. That’s self–evident to anyone who lived through losing data, not so for beginners.

Different providers have different spamfilters, different rules regarding html mails, attachment file size, use of tls, policies regarding exspired certificates, and might have different log in procedures, so yes, if there are problems the question which providers are involved.

So - a modem?

TrakCare – wow, intersystem offers a bunch of data management software in > 20 countries.

At first glance, TrakCare seems to be targeted at hospitals. GNUmed is targeted at small practices.

Billing the public health insurance. It’s perfectly usable for private practice, but there are only very few private only practices in Germany.

Main problem with it is lack of certification, which prevents it’s use ironically in Germany, the country of origin. I would have loved to use it. If you live in a less–regulated health system, I wish you success!

Data migration will be a huge problem – medical management system companies tend to lock their customers into their system by preventing data migration.

I just didn’t bother with migration. I used an autohotkey script to print all patient charts of the old system into pdf files – unconvenient but failsave – and built the new data base from scratch.

Cinnamon does lower blood glucose slightly. You just cannot eat enough cinnamon to get a significant effect.

Well — thinking about it — if you put loads of cinnamon without sugar into every food you eat, you’ll probably stick to a low calory intake diet with ease, which might enhance the slight intrinsic antidiabetic effect of cinnamon?
