Glad you're ok, DT. One thing that has always interested me is, if the power weren't out but there was no internet, and you really needed to install a piece of software, how well is linux equipped to deal with a situation like this?
For example, my grandma has an old pc i loaded xubuntu on. but i can't figure out how to put a deb program on there because it has no internet. i've tried isolating the needed dependencies from apt but there is always one missing that i've missed. and more often than not there aren't appimages available. i've come across software that promised to help with this but they didn't work. is there really no good way to install something when you're offline on linux?

I've been using the LastPass Authenticator myself. I use LastPass for my password manager, so it made sense. Plus, unlike the Google Authenticator, surprisingly, it syncs across devices. I've actually had a phone fail on me and going through and calling/emailing support to get it removed on all the sites I have 2FA on was a real pain, not to mention going back and resetting it up with my new phone. Not fun.

This was a pretty big storm, even by south LA standards. Usually they break up and there's some light wind damage, maybe a bad one will have some flooding too. But that much wind damage that far north is pretty bad, and not that common. Katrina was blowing trees over as far north as Memphis, TN. This wasn't quite that bad, but still pretty rough. Lake Charles got hammered really badly.

So... Generators and air conditioners ar interesting. I have 2 generators where 1 is enough to just run the AC unit but when I link them together they are still not powerful enough to start the unit. I installed a hard start compositor and now the two can start it, barley. Good enough for an emergency. Its in storage now generators I'll use for yard work from time to time.

There are two alternatives to googles authenticator, the other is andOTP, avaialble both on the google play store and f-droid. That being said, both alternatives are based on the last open source release of google's authenticator so there's a change google might do something in the future to break functionality with open source forks of it's old core.

Everyone after hurricane :- I'll never financially recover from this!-.
Derek Taylor: - Welcome to Unfettered Freedom podcast!-
While people consider what to do, to eat or whatever, DT spends his time to produce an podcast.
Man, if this isn't dedication, I don't know what is.

Good to hear you got through this well, DT. You have taken the spirit of sharing and mutuality into helping out your neighbors with all the water you received. You're a genuinely good guy, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Keep it up, mate, and stay safe!

2 things :
Wayland ships by default with Fedora 32 and has a --fallback-x11 option for the desktop and Flatpaks. OBS can capture the screen with the latest release.
Blender is a video render as well. So not only animation and graphics.

a lot of people in the open source community don't trust red hat
a lot of people in the open source community don't trust canonical
is there any company these people trust? are these people the same people that don't want mass adoption?

I installed Wayland on a virtual machine last week because I wanted to check out WayFire WM which has some pretty flashy effects. Wayland might not be ready for prime time but it's an interesting alternative to X11.
