Cool, I hate it.

Radio buttons are in html spec for over 30 years and they allow extensive CSS styling on every part of the element.

> Functionality-wise, there's very little that can be improved

Yep. Honestly can't name a single major new smartphone feature that I would consider a dealbreaker that wasn't available 10 years ago.

The last things that made me excited about a new phone was contactless payments and Android auto, but both are pretty old now.

Now it's just a slightly different ui and maybe a bit better camera when I got a new phone.

Same. Also I don't get using RPis for hosting all kinds of services at home - there are hundreds of mini-pcs on ebay cheaper than Rpi, with more power, more ports, where you can put in a normal SSD drive and RAM, with sturdy factory made enclosure... To me Rpi seems a weird choice unless you are tinkering with the gpio ports.

Yep. I got over 250TB/month traffic (150TB+ outbound) on Hetzner, and I don't pay anything additional for that, just ~800$ month for 11 servers.

At 7c/GB that would be over 10500$ just for the traffic alone, and probably about the same for the processing power.

I have more than 10 servers on Hetzner (some dedicated, some VPS), for 5+ years and the same experience, once one of the dedicated servers had some hardware issues, and an hour later the drives were moved to another box and it was running again. Other than that time, I had downtime only because of my own fault.

Pretty sure over these years AWS has experienced a lot more issues overall.

TBH I don't need "fine grained rules for each app". There is only one rule I care about for most apps - block all notifications.

General web development. PHP, javascript, css. I used to do some java projects as well, but not lately.

I know it's not mainstream to use NetBeans these days, but I don't care, I'm just used to it and it gets the job done. Maybe I'm just getting old.

Not sure if you mean that sarcastically, but it's a really boring and stable OS, the setup is just a few clicks and hitting enter a few times. I think I haven't even bothered to change the wallpaper on my newest laptop.

There's nothing really special about Debian as well, it could as well be Ubuntu, Mint or anything else that's plug n play. I'm just used to Debian, and it comes with less junk I don't need installed by default.

Nothing interesting. I spend like 99% of my computer time in the web browser, ide and terminal.

Chrome, git, ssh, docker, netbeans

I too used to obsess over customizing my OS. Now I just install Debian, a handful of programs I use daily and that's it. I can recreate my setup on another machine in 20 minutes.

Not really, I have a Discord account for at least 5 years, I'm a member of several Discord communities and none of them are related to gaming. For me it's kind of a replacement for IRC.

I have several non-ecc machines running 24/7 for years without any crashes.
