Re: [CODE4LIB] computing environments

At home, I use Qubes. On a regular OS, any program you are running can log your keystrokes and take screenshots - yikes! How am I supposed to trust every single piece of software running?! Qubes takes the virtualization technologies that protect us on servers and applies them to the desktop user.

Re: [CODE4LIB] computing environments

I use a mac for developing, and don't use it as a sort of terminal tool, I develop _on_ the mac. I install whatever I need there. MacOS is a kind of unix, and `brew` usually gives me whatever I need. But I don't do things that my local macbook doesn't have the CPU power for. Then I deploy to a

[CODE4LIB] computing environments

I’m just curious. What sorts of computing environments do y’all use/exploit? For a long long time I used my Macintosh as a sort of terminal tool connected to a Unix/Linux computer where I did my “real” computing. Now-a-days, I still use this set up, but the Unix/Linux environment is
