Setting up my Linux work environment for the third time in just as many weeks due to hardware failures and temporary/replacement notebooks I wonder if there are any efforts made to have application settings saved in a consistent way, not counting full system backups, which don't help much if you're switching distros or distro major versions.
Some applications save their settings to the .config directory, others save them all over the place.
Why isn't there a portable settings container of some kind?
Today I saw there was a Weapon Shop in Nakano Japan. They sell cosmetics?!?

Mastodon has a verification mechanism, though it looks different from Twitter's. We do not ask for your documents. Instead, if you have a website that you are known by, you can verify that you are the owner of that website.
Link to your Mastodon profile from the website, either through a visible link, or through a <link> tag in the head of the document, with a rel=me attribute, and link back to that page from your Mastodon profile. It should then get a green checkmark, like @Mastodon.

I feel rather dirty lately.
The below setup to host Windows 10 on an external SSD on my Fusion drive iMac is working really well. But it means disk access on macOS feels rather slow in comparison. Forgive me Steve Jobs.
