  1. I'm a paid visionary user, I don't plan on switching to anything else (I've actually been working on moving away from other email providers) also with the unlimited plan you do get simple login premium
  2. I live in Minneapolis and they have this flag Which is across the river from Saint Paul, However I think the logo for Minneapolis is better edit: I thought the sail boat on the logo was the flag since it is seen more than the flag
  3. If you can run docker, I use this for ddns with cloudflare https://github.com/timothymiller/cloudflare-ddns
  4. https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/interior-exterior-paints-stains/how-to-advice/painting-101/choosing-paint-finish This paint company has a nice table on what sheen is good on which type of surface. It is also a good quality brand if it is available in your area. Also if there is one near you a paint supply store (not a hardware store that sells paint) can be a good resource since they will have better quality supplies and may have the same color in different sheens.
  5. I have a phone for work, I could use it for personal use, but my company can view all activity and has can see everything I install on it, so I carry two phones around with me, the work phone and my personal. Yeah it is a little bit of a pain to carry around two phones, but keeping work and personal separate is more important to me
  6. All of the traffic at my workplace goes through our VPN (they even MITM some sites eg reddit) since we deal with protected health information and fall under HIPAA regulations, and I don't want to have to worry about paying those fines (up to 1.5 Million USD for accidental disclosure). I don't really print much for work, usually a one off document for record keeping purposes so it isn't too bad when I need to print something to save it til the end of the day or quickly drop from the VPN to print the one thing
  7. A lot of things aren't available on google for me as well, but we have a GitHub Instance, Jira, artifactory, custom built tools, new relic, splunk. I use google/stackoverflow for some things coding related, but observability tools are what we use the most. Note: My Job title is site reliability engineer
  8. Can you click the icon next to restart device? That shows the log of where it failed
  9. I found a website called lilite (ninite for linux). It isn't perfect for me, it didn't have everything that I wanted so I forked it and created a version for myself that uses docker so I can run it in my personal k8s cluster and use it to install all of the apps I need https://www.lilite.co
  10. It isn't an extension, but I really like ulauncher since it is similar to spotlight search/Alfred on Macs, but three extensions that I like are Gravatar Lock-Keys (I only use this on my laptop since it doesn't have an indicator for when the num lock is on/off Coverflow Alt-Tab I am using 20.10, but they all should worked on 20.04
  11. We use zabbix to monitor our servers at my job, I don't know if it tracks temperature, but it does the rest and is free (you pay for support). https://www.zabbix.com
  12. Can you run a docker ps -a That will show all containers, both running and stopped
  13. Do you have the gnome extension Desktop Icons NG (DING) enabled? That is required for the desktop icons to work I believe
  14. I can't give advice about antivirus, but I use keepass derivative and ProtonVPN. When looking for a VPN I would recomend comparing the features they offer for the cost. For example, my paid level of ProtonVPN comes with access to more devices, as well has the fastest speeds. Also if you can wait til the end of November (Black Friday to be exact) different companies may give deals to people buying their product. For keepass, take a look at keepassXC, they have better browser integration than the standard keepass.
