Hot take:
Everybody who works on any desktop software application, but especially web browsers, should be required to regularly use the application they develop on a computer with an HDD instead of SSD.
Because boy howdy, let me tell you, it sure is something when Firefox takes five minutes to launch to the point where you can actually load a page.

(Brought to you courtesy of my having to temporarily migrate my primary PC from SSD to HDD because my SSD is failing and I don't currently have a spare SSD sitting around and don't want to lose my data in the time it takes me to get one.)

Another discovery from temporarily switching from SSD to HDD…
Synology Drive installs MIME types at startup using `xdg-mime install`, which calls `update-mime-database ~/.local/share/mime`. This was taking so long that Drive's app indicator launch was timing out and crashing.
It turns out at some point in the past, probably due to a bug that has since been fixed, GNOME installed _all_ the system MIME types in my home directory.
I deleted them and restarted Drive and my app indicator is back.

Switching from SSD to HDD also prompted me to find and fix three different bugs in the Python inotify package:

Unfortunately, the maintainer hasn't put out a release in seven years or merged any commits to master in five years, despite multiple PRs submitted in that time, so I suspect the project is dead.
We'll see if I can resist the urge to fork it and start maintaining it again.
in reply to Jonathan Kamens 86 47

That's where your fork becomes the master, LOL. I know you have no desire for that, of course.
in reply to AI6YR Ben

@ai6yr Yeah, I've taken over numerous packages over the years and ended up becoming the maintainer because I wanted the package to keep existing.
I'm getting too old for that shit.
in reply to Jonathan Kamens 86 47

also HDDs need defragmenting, which I totally forgot about over the last years. It's amazing how much the physics of the media's implementation details can totally change the top level user experience

Das Bild zeigt ein Set für Eiswürfel, bestehend aus einem transparenten Behälter und einem schwarzen Formwerk. Der Behälter ist rechteckig und hat eine transparente, deckelähnliche Oberfläche mit einem weißen Schaufelzug, der zum Entnehmen der Eiswürfel dient. Innerhalb des Behälters sind zahlreiche transparente, runde Eiswürfel sichtbar. Neben dem Behälter befindet sich das schwarze Formwerk, das in mehrere Schichten aufgebaut ist und mit runden Formen für Eiswürfel ausgestattet ist. Die Formen sind in einem regelmäßigen Muster angeordnet und scheinen aus einem glatten, schwarzen Material zu bestehen. Das Set ist praktisch für die Herstellung und Aufbewahrung von Eiswürfeln.

The image depicts a live concert scene with a dark background illuminated by red stage lights. In the foreground, three individuals are visible on stage. The person on the left is shirtless and wearing a cap, with their back facing the camera. The central figure is crouched down, wearing a shiny, silver outfit, and appears to be playing a guitar. The person on the right is also in a shiny outfit, possibly dancing or moving energetically. The stage is dimly lit, with red lights creating a dramatic atmosphere. The lighting creates a sense of movement and energy, typical of a live music performance.

A friend with an iPhone want to read and write PGP-encrypted emails: what's the cheapest and simplest approach I can suggest him?

I know nothing about Apple products, but I guess they have a default mail agent. Yet I can't find online how to configure PGP.

Thinking about buying some protection for Nellie's paws as the temperature is so high that the pavements are extremely hot and hurting her paws.

I know she wouldn't let me keep the normal "shoes", but I can't make her look ridiculous with something like this.

What should I do?

I imagine that something like that would feel very unconfortably warm especially on hot days. Maybe you could get some kind of wheeled cart for her to ride just to go past the more critical pavements?
