will tell you everything, so that you also may know how I am and what I am doing.
Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.
I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.
Be very careful, then, how you live--not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity

22Jun'22		Got a new laptop. I have been able to use very low RAM laptops 2/4GB for over a decade. As I move to having the complete software development cycle run from home I need to move to more powerful development systems at my fingers. The easiest way today is to simply put all opf the tools in the cloud. That is how one becomes dependent upon Big Tech and their whims of whatever is the cause that they desire to promote and enforce. They have shown in the last couple of years that they can and will use this power against us. Thus the need for a new system. There have been a number of hurdles on the way but . . . Had the previous system, a Dual Core 4GB RAB/32GB SSD Laptop for five years. This limited amoumt of memory increasingly limited the number of simultanious operations I could perform. Evem web browsing became an issue as site have increased the size of their pages. New system is a Six Core 8GB RAM/512GB SSD Laptop. With the increase of RAM swapping is reduced and performa has increased. The increase in SSD reduces the need to juggle development files and psersonal content like photos offline when not actively being used. The increase in cores improves the handling of multiple activities simultaniously. I had been satified with an 11.6 inch screen. The only lower cost systems with the performance gains had larger screens. The larger 14 inch screen with a higher resolution makes displaying more windows simulatiously easier/possible in many cases. The previous system I used just Kubuntu (Linux). Reconfigured the new system to also dual boot with Windows. This allows me to work using Linux then reboot to running Windows. This allows me to use the artifacts of the task I am working w/o having to maintain a different computer and w/o having to transfer the items to a different machine. There are differences in the file systems that Linux and Widows prefer to use. In order to access the files from both Linux & Windows needed to use New Technology File System (NTFS) rather than the Linux Ext4 file system. Linux can use NTFS but Windows does work with Ext4. It took a bit of effort to work through a number gotchas in order to get Linux to not only read the file but to also be able to write to the NTFS file system. Once those hurdles were concurded I was able to configure file system mounting on Linux to allow all users to read and write their 'home' directory files on NTFS which is also set up now to be a local drive on Windows. Files look and behave normal, whether on Linux or Windows.
