I’m not a fan of alternative packaging solutions. Never been. If it’s not in Debian’s repositories then I don’t bother with it. Some would say that’s close minded as not all packaging solutions are bad but when you use a stable distribution like Debian the native packaging solution is a lot easier to maneuver and troubleshoot than flatpaks and the like.

I spend maybe 30 minutes doing actual work on average. Then once a blue moon I get off my ass and finish my assigned projects in like 3 hours and continue to do nothing.

People think that Windows doesn’t do swap because on Windows it’s done automatically for you. Does it wear down the SSD? Yes, but so does every other write operation. Ideally, getting like 32gigs of ram so you’ll never have to use your swap is ideal(or at least use less), but not everyone can do that.

I guess it was only a matter of time till gov agencies got tired of pretending and looking for exploits or buying them from security researchers. Now they’re just going to make security updates illegal to back door your machine, hooray.

MikroTik hAP ax3 seems to fit the requirements and is what I’m currently running. They add their enterprise features into the “consumer” packages, allowing you to set up VLANs, meshes, etc

Photoshop is just one of the many apps included in the Adobe suite. So while this is a welcomed repo, I’m afraid it is not feasible for people who design professionally

I never used openRC (outside of Docker containers that run Alpine) so I wouldn’t know. Linux community has enough controversies, init utils shouldn’t be one of them

I thought people hate systemd because it’s a resource hog compared to OpenRC. TIL i guess

Mhm… no Rocky/Alma?

that’s just a troll, downvote and move on

I last tried in 2019 but LTT made a video recently saying they won’t accept sponsorships from Plex anymore until they fix downloads. I have a Plex Lifetime Pass and I’d love to use it again if the download worked, because that’s the only thing I want to use it for now (in between moving apartments)

Plex app does exist. The download feature on it is 50/50 and will bamboozle you when you need it most

Apple implements a good amount of post processing into their camera app, not surprised judges were not able to be 100% certain.

I’ll never understand the Linux community in that aspect. We want the market share to grow but always clown on the Ubuntu users, who make up the majority of our market share. If you use Ubuntu, you’re already far ahead than OSX/Win users who complain Apple/Microsoft did a change they don’t like but still remain hostage in their ecosystem.

VPN seems like a bigger hassle for me, I change one parameter to off in /etc/network/interfaces and it works great.

It depends on provider, one thing I can tell you for certain is that most of them don’t scan your file system, it is overhead they simply don’t need.

What is likely to happen is that they’ll get sent a DMCA and if they are a company that cares about DMCA claims (I.e. OVH) they’ll shut you down, if they don’t care then that DMCA claim goes directly to the trash can and you can continue business as usual.

Put one of them fake ransom ware screens

This may not work for everyone, but the only way to truly embrace Linux was to wipe the windows partition and start using Linux. That’s it, you no longer have to option to run back to your dual booted Windows if shit doesnt work. You sit down and figure it out.

IPv6 torrenting for the most part goes unchecked by the companies who send threat letters to your ISP. I have a US seedbox which doesn’t have IPv4 and it’s been working great with a lot of public torrents
