Yes, Firefox already provides some protection against fingerprinting.

Depends on if you're a tits or an ass guy, I guess?

It depends. I've done it a few different ways:

  • YOLO: especially with thugs like PHP you only affect one page at a time and with low traffic the odds of a problem is small
  • Maintenance page: temporarily show a page. Some servers like IIS have this built in. Otherwise it's a simple update to httpd conf
  • In a cluster environment, just take the node you're updating out of rotation, and only update one node at a time.
  • Copy and switch like you suggested. Can be combined with any of the above and is a smart move if upload is slow or can be interrupted, or it's cumbersome to restore the old files

Edit: spelling

Yes, unless it is encrypted, in which case you need a way to decode that. You can even boot an OS from a USB thumb drive to recover files from a hard drive.

Is moving the drive to another computer as a secondary drive an option? Or put it in a separate USB enclosure? That way you don't need to boot it at all, unless it's encrypted or something.

Since unity is c# I think maybe you phrased that opposite of what you meant?

Anyway, I work in an enterprise environment. We use both Java and .Net, and it largely depends on which group you're in. Neither Java nor .Net is going away anytime soon.

You really don't get to stick with just one thing in a developer career. Learn a little of everything, especially multiple paradigms, and specialize in a few related to the business you work for.

A key skill is adaptability, learning as you go. If you make yourself too specialized, you'll set yourself up for being laid off when your skills become obsolete. I have interviewed a few older IT people in that situation, only a few years from retirement.

What about volunteering? Usually no credentials or experience is required. You get out of the house, get to be around people, and you get the satisfaction of feeling like you are doing something useful, which is rewarding in itself.

It could be anything. You have all kinds of organizations wanting volunteer help: social outreach programs, churches, scouts, clubs, etc. See if anything local catches your interest.

Peanut butter on bread as a side to chili (con carne).

To manage packages on the terminal, I personally like to use aptitude which has a nice visual interface to find, install, and remove packages. It also lets you resolve conflicts interactively. If you do not want a separate tool, you can use apt-cache search to search for new packages.

As is typical with Linux, there are multiple ways to do it. I found an article that outlines a few alternatives.
