I'm also using it to script sessions of workflows with many programs, for instance a dev environment with a lot of microservices. Some windows with multiple panes each.

This kind of reminds of the BlackDog: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BlackDog

It was a small computer that easily fit in a pocket and only had a single USB port. That was connected to a computer which powered it, and it connected as a virtual CD-ROM drive.

On that was an xming X11 server. The BlackDog ran your applications outputted through it. The applications it ran could also access the Internet through the host computer.

This is an interesting book I can recommend by Susan Cain: Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking

Exactly this. I am a very social person when among people, but pay a price for it afterwards, as I'm drained of energy.

Introverts gains energy by being by them selves. Extroverts needs to be with other persons to gain energy,

That said, most people are not neccessarily completely one or the other.

I understand where the misconception comes from though. Seems likely that being introvert often leads to not be very social since you're "punished" for it by your own mind.

I'm using a 49" monitor and dividing it up in virtual X11 monitors/screens for flexibility. Running a tiling window manager with lots of virtual desktops, but with fullscreen support separate monitors are still needed. Wayland are still missing the support for dividing up the display, which is probably the last thing keeping me on X11.

They would have had my wife locked up then, who has a lot of Hello Kitty gear and clothing, now being 45 years old :)

Then our cat would just take it and hide somewhere else in the house instead 😅

We have had the opposite problem in the past. A cert provider requiring us to exist in certain international directories of companies took weeks of waiting around on bureaucratic red tape.

Then they didn't even call us to verify our existance, place of business or anything (yeah, this was one of the big certificate providers a long time ago).

Their website was horrible, and their support wasn't better.

LetsEncrypt though hasn't failed me once since it was setup, and that is over hundreds of domains with thousands of renewals.
