Raymond Hill is a hero of our times. Not even kidding.

OpenSUSe. Tumbleweed as a rolling bistro is amazingly stable, yast is nice, and it all just works great. Leap for the servers, and things are solid.

You should keep posting on Usenet too...rec.+

There is a copy of it, the original appears no longer available

I'll never forgive them for editing the original House theme song based on Teardrop out of the DVDs.

Meanwhile, the OG OS has more vulnerabilities probably

They're all headed that way. And Google wants to do it to PCs too.

Ditch Ubuntu too. Mint or OpenSuse are very good alternatives.

Loool I'll leave it

I need full on segregated machines sometimes though. I've got stuff that only runs in Win98 or XP (old radio programming software).

Plex is not great for privacy or ownership these days. Jellyfin or Kodi are much better.

I don't know about slim but I love OpenSUSE. It is super stable, I've run it for about a billion years. You can use the installer to just choose the server light install.

II use Debian for some build machines.

I've always wondered why no one thought of redesigning the jack. Have it just be form-fitted outside contacts, with magnetic adhesion to hold the plug in place. There isn't any real reason it has to be a socket.

The reason is of course the masses just use Bluetooth, or deal with the dongle, because they absolutely must have an iPhone.

No Lineage support for Fairphones?

only allow YouTube in app and in seriously locked down Web-Environtment-Integrity browsers

This is exactly what they want. Remember their github with the OS integrity authentication service? They're already there with phones and Chromebooks,, now they have to control PCs.

I've seen you recommending this here before - what's its selling point vs say qemu-kvm? Does Incus do virtual networking without having to straight up learn iptables or whatever? (Not that there is anything wrong with iptables, I just have to choose what I can learn about)

Works great for freshening up the disposal

Not to mention things like Lineage can get even more life from old phones.

Yeah that Minecraft setup is ridiculous now, then you get ads.

Try Zoneedit. I've had them for years and barely glanced at them.

Doesn't mean anything right now if you are running ESXi, except you can't reinstall ESXi unless you kept the image and you won't get ESXi updates.

Lol no, just old radios. My point is just that my requirements are pretty widely varied.

Two things keep Windows around. Office/Exchange and remote management. Nothing really works that well in any other ecosystem.

Corel Linux

Sort of. The activation license will work as long as you have it. They won't renew support though, which effectively kills it when the support contract runs out.

No lie. Gray market Mercedes were awesome. Way more powerful and you could get base models with zero cruft - manual transmissions and wind up windows.

This book absolutely changed my life, especially after I learned some of the easy shortcuts you can take to save time.

Absolutely changed my life, I'm not even joking.

Lot of places don't accept Google Voice numbers any more (or VOIP in general). They straight up want your cell.

I wish the LEDs weren't such crap. They don't even last as long as a 60W incandescent a lot of times. The old CFLs last years, I have a few over ten years old.

Tears roll down my cheeks when I think of RIF

Follow the guides, if you have a supported phone. It is really nice for supported devices. But do follow the instructions exactly.

A Lack Rack with VMWare and TrueNAS servers, pfsense, Jellyfin, Zoneminder, web/email, Nextcloud, Minecraft, LineageOS build machine, .....other stuff

Hey she's pretty good

How it is in Texas too.

Some cheesier financial entities are also just forcing everyone to the app now. No web.

I still have the inflatable penguin that came in the box

Yeah I experimented with Truenas in a VM, it randomly dropped the pool. Do not do this.

Admittedly I have not dug too deeply into Proxmox but its learning curve appears kinda steep.

Old Motorolas, they really hate users.

You can use something separate like Zoneedit for the DNS records
