CEOs. Name them. Shame them.

What kind of therapy do I go to if I'm in an abusive relationship with my Operating System?

But muh platform growth!?!?! It just needs more AI, that'll get the people upgrading

Bojack Horseman called it

Soon to be purchased by:

A) Meta

B) Microsoft

C) Alphabet

D) Some venture capital firm nobody who uses a computer daily has ever heard of

Place your bets now people!

Same. They kept it extremely quiet. The band is now touring with a new vocalist and honestly the new song they put out is alright. Nothing earthshattering but it's an alright song.

Sounds like it's time to give a little insider info on the company network to hacking groups.

Lot of knowledge to just throw out there, Sundar.

Let's hope your documentation can handle it, or a whole lot of important stuff is going to take forever to fix if/when it breaks

You want to advertise to me in the OS? Don't charge me $200 for the OS then!!

I've been using Obsidian for a lot of other purposes for a couple years now, so I was comfortable adding my documentation into my existing vault there. I made a couple templates that I fill out for any hardware/software/networking equipment.

Since the app's selling point is storing all your notes in plain text I wouldn't put anything security-related in there without some encrypted container. I use KeePass for that part, and keep the file it generates in the same folder as Obsidian so I can link to it within notes. Click the link in the note, KeePass opens the vault and asks for its password.

Threads won't be a social network. It will be social advertising.

My Proxmox server is called ARCADE and each VM is named after a game. Currently we have:

• SpyHunter (PiHole and WireGuard VPN)
• Pacman (Ubuntu Server w/ Dashy, Syncthing, Portainer, and NextCloud inside Docker)
• MsPacMan (Ubuntu server for failover purposes. Still under construction)
• CrazyTaxi (Windows Desktop)
• MissleCommand (Linux Desktop)
• MonkeyIsland (qBitTorrent)

Windows 7 was a competent OS with low system requirements, a stable kernel, a simple feature set that was well-known and useful, an interface that was comprehensible and clearly conveyed to the user, and it didn't require extra investment or online accounts, and compatibility options for the really old stuff. It remains the Best version of Windows in my eyes.

8 took away the comprehenisble UI, low spec options, and lack of online service requirements, then 10 further complicated the UI and filled the OS with ads, the then 11 bloated the feature set, added even more ads, borked compatibility, and made the online accounts a requirement unless you pay extra and/or know what you're doing.

Textbook Enshittification

If they're going to make money off my data, then they can pay me to use Threads.

I realize I'm preaching to the choir on here, but really has never been a better time to learn Linux

Even 11 doesn't require a TPM if you know what you're doing.

Of course now he wants to cooperate

Quality so good they can come back to it 20 years from now when blu-ray is an outdated format to make a higher-quality home release, like what's been done with VHS to DVD or DVD to BD

It's the kind of thing that's easy to start and hard to continue. Time will tell, but I hope we can develop the kind of community values here that will grow with scale, rather than shrink

Sure.

• Hardware
• Software

I left everything in, so no doubt there's stuff in there specific to my vault you won't need like metadata - adjust these to your needs or use them as a starting point for something new. There's no network device template, I usually use the hardware one and just delete the irrelevant bits.

Forget about EA, they're a different company. Ubisoft is the one you want to worry about, they own Watch_Dogs and all related copyrights like DedSec

No.

Probably not going to be worth it for a while, but some folks in a couple of years are going to have old Steam Decks they can't use anymore for gaming, and they might benefit from this. If nothing else, I hope that this becomes one more way to recycle one more piece of technology.

Good for privacy, but there's definitely features (and processing power) that don't exist there.

I've been using Startpage for a few weeks now and honestly it doesn't bug me waiting an extra 3-5 seconds for my results page when it's not ad-fueled garbage.

They don't want to learn how to use their computer all over again. Some people really do prefer the devil they know

PRAISE BE TO THE LINE for some reason

Linux user for a long time, actually. I like Q4OS for myself, it's also Debian based and it puts very little in front of the user to start so I can customize a little more

Nvidia, good call. Take the easy win

It's like back in the day when everyone used Internet Explorer for their web browser. There's little to nothing in the marketplace indicating to them that an alternative exists in the first place, let alone that they could switch to it.

We were pretty poor growing up, so whatever systems I had needed to also have bargain bin games or I wouldn't be able to get them. I had a small allowance so a 10 or 20 dollar game was attainable with a little planning.

As a kid, I only had a Sega Genesis and Game Boy Color until I was a teenager. Skipped the 5th generation entirely, but I'd play friends and family's Playstations and N64s any chance I could.

Years later I got a PS2 for Christmas, and some of the first games I got were bargain bin PS1 games. By that time, 20 bucks could get me Spyro the Dragon, Syphon Filter, FF7, Medievil, or whatever weird unknown quantity had the right price tag on it. Some of them were even great games I still have (S/O to Nuclear Strike and The Phantom Menace)

Gonna be reading into Nixos, this may be the way forward I'm looking for. Thank you both for your responses!

Hyper-V will work with physical disk, but be warned - the wizard you run through when making a VM will make it look like you give the VM a VHD file for storage or nothing. Just attach no storage to the VM initially, then go into the VM settings after the wizard is complete to attach something besides a VHD.

Can't entirely remember if it handles partitions but I know it can boot particular disks and if the setting exists, that's where it would be

FUCKING THANK YOU!

What a nothing burger of an article.

I've only ever used the official repositories, basically followed the install documentation to get the letter. I do management of it through Portainer but that's just a convenience for testing. Once I got the Compose file just right I'd docker up -d inside the folder on the VMs main drive.

The actual files were saved to a mounted SMB share, and I'm not sure if it's related or not but I also had a media folder mounted as SMB and configured to be shared as External Storage within Nextcloud itself. I keep wondering if the database isn't killing itself trying to read everything in there...

I had never heard of them before this post.

Keeping this in the back pocket in case the NixOS ideas don't work out, thanks for sharing!

I had tried that previously, but on trying it again I realized that I’d missed setting the Color Depth. Apparently this was enough to make it work properly. Thank you!!

Trying not to learn another deployment scheme, but keeping this on the list. Thank you for sharing!

You will eventually, just give it time.

Is or Was? Big Difference here.
