    I’m against pet feeders in general.

    Cats regulate themselves much better than us, they don’t need us “measuring” food, just check they have dry food available 24/7 and manually give wet food. If you can’t dedicate a few minutes every day to check for their needs, you may need to reconsider keeping them.

    Unless they have health issues, in that case a pet feeder could be handy, but it’s hard to believe they are “millions”.

    Dogs don’t need to eat as often as cats, if you “need” to feed them remotely, it means you’re leaving them alone for very long hours, that’s not good for a dog.

    You can safely leave a cat alone all day if you’re out working, not a dog.

    Furthermore, feeding your pet yourself contributes to bonding, using a machine for that may be convenient for you but it’s definitely not for the good of the pets.













  • Keep all work stuff contained in a (encrypted) virtual machine, that’s what I do.

    I work for a big enterprise, in a case like that, you seriously don’t want sensitive company data on your personal PC, it’s asking for troubles if you do.

    Our company PCs are Windows, I got permission to install VIrtualbox so I can use Linux that’s so much better for many things. I encrypted the VM I use for work, so I can keep a copy on my personal PC when I work at home, without any risk of data breaches.

    The advantage of a VM is that it makes it very easy to separate work from home, you start it up when you work, you shut it down when you’re done working and it doesn’t “interfere” with your personal stuff that way.
