I currently pay $45/mo for 75/20 DSL over 1960s copper. 3 streets over, they’re paying $45/mo for 300/300 fiber from the same ISP. You tellin’ me the FCC can punish them for that?
Suburban Chicago since 1981.

I’d say “the office dress code,” but what I really mean is my gut.
I just want it to stop self-destructing every two hours when I’m running it as a VM under Linux.
Somewhere, an ISO27001 auditor’s jimmies started rustling.
Hate to tell you this, but it’s been shitty since the NEXRAD feeds broke and they never bothered to fix ‘em.
I’ve never heard that phrase before but it sounds like something I can use to annoy the piss out of my kids and their friends. Kind of like yeet, rizz, or cap. Especially if I use it wrong intentionally.
Gotta tiptoe to the “murder” word on the euphemism treadmill first.
It would be if nazis were capable of valor. This is just a lying Florida man who switched from bath salts to meth a few years back and tried to take it to the bank.
…no, I don’t want to put all my stuff in OneDrive. No, my settings shouldn’t sync across everything. No, I don’t want to log in with the same account on all devices. I already have email and do not want to use outlook.com thanks. Stop warning me that I did not agree to put all my stuff in OneDrive, it’s really not necessary. What do you mean I can’t change my wallpaper unless I activate? Are you telling me that your antimalware solution that comes bundled in the OS isn’t able to block malicious ads in the browser that also comes with the OS? Why do these applications that I never installed keep showing up in the Start menu? What’s up with all these calls to Azure-based websites in my Pi-Hole logs when I’m away from my desk? Why are my CPUs going at full blast when I’m just staring at the desktop?
Indictments are one thing. Convictions are another, and punishments are yet another. Wake me up when something actually happens.
I'll second the Pop!_OS recommendation that others have been posting. Don't get me wrong, Linux Mint is great, though I personally prefer Linux Mint Debian Edition over the Ubuntu-based one, but I think Pop!_OS is just as easy to use while presenting a different look & feel. Pop tends to support newer hardware as well: despite being stuck on an Ubuntu 22.04 LTS base until Cosmic is finished, System76 releases new kernels to support the hardware they sell. They're currently running kernel version 6.6.6, as opposed to Ubuntu's 6.2.0 (I think -- that's what server's on, at least).
I gave my wife, who "hates computers," a laptop running Pop!_OS when her Windows 10 one failed and, apart from the standard new PC complaints, I haven't heard anything Linux-specific. She runs two businesses on the thing; the only changes I made to the standard Pop!_OS software were to replace LibreOffice with OnlyOffice, and to replace Geary with Thunderbird.
I can’t get used to vanilla GNOME. First things I always install are Dash to Panel, ArcMenu, Caffeine, AppIndicator support, and Pop Shell. It’s basically Cinnamon with a tiling/stacking toggle and without the need for a “restart if it crashes” setting.
Bitwarden is the shit. As if the free tier weren’t good enough, the annual subscription is dirt cheap and you don’t have to remember more than the master password anymore.
I think it’s fair to look at IBM with a more cynical eye. Historically it’s been “acquire, way you’ll make no changes, wait a bit, make changes that piss off 80% of your customer base.” Somewhere in there is a “reduce customer service effectiveness” step that is distinct from “make changes.”
After that it’s either “sell it off to the highest bidder” or “keep at it because who else are the customers gonna use?”
Need to pay for a subscription for TOTP. It’s like $10/year for the personal plan.
Non-exec tech worker here. It’s benzos, weed, and alcohol thank you very much.
…and who the hell keeps personal computing records of anything, let alone when a particular protocol is used? “Mmm-hmm, yes, let me just write this down, February 20, 2024, 14:28 US CST, used BitTorrent to torrent all of the bits.”
Pi-Hole’s great. Got my primary instance on a Pi 4 and three secondaries (one per vlan) on LXCs. Works so well it feels weird seeing ads when I’m not at home, I’m actually considering using Tailscale to route all my queries through my home connection.
I had a similar experience with Dark Sky, but Weather Underground was always great. The weird part of it is that I’m near Chicago, where the NWS office got trashed for their awful handling of the forecast and response to the storms that led to the Plainfield F5 in 1990 - bad radar was often cited as a reason for that response, so NEXRAD especially has been key to NWS’s improvement here.
It’s www.weather.gov/lot for me now.
+1 … been using PVE in my homelab for ages and just deployed a small, self-contained (i.e. non-SAN-connected) PVE cluster at the office in light of Broadcom’s shenanigans. I had no idea just how fantastically well Proxmox ran on higher-end hardware with Ceph installed. It’s glorious.
I prefer Master of Puppets to Ride the Lightning for the overall heavier sound, and the distinct lack of acne in Hetfield’s voice. However, those two albums are definitely their top two.
BSOD for whatever reason. Doesn’t matter, I can resume what I was doing pretty quickly, but it is mildly inconvenient.
All the extensions GNOME 44 users installed to make it usable are now broken.
Not entirely sure why this reply is being panned (was at -6 when I first saw it).
OP is in the process of upgrading their PC to a Ryzen 9. If we make the assumption that this Ryzen 9 is on the AM5 platform, the CPU comes equipped with an IGPU, meaning the RTX 3060s are no longer needed by the bare metal. So, installing a stable, minimal point release OS as a base would minimize resource utilization on the hardware side. This could be something like Debian Bookworm or Proxmox VE with the no-subscription repo enabled. There's no need for the NVIDIA GPUs to be supported by the bare metal OS.
Once the base OS is installed, the VMs can be created, and the GPUs and peripherals can be passed through. This step effectively removes the devices from the host OS -- they don't show up in lsusb or lspci anymore -- and "gives" them to the VMs when they start. You get pretty close to native performance with setups of this nature, to the point that users have set up Windows 10/11 VMs in this way to play Cyberpunk 2077 on RTX 4090s with all the eye candy, including ray reconstruction.

It's not exactly what OP is looking for, but it's definitely a valid approach to solving the problem.
Yep, hard-line lawful neutral. Though I lean chaotic evil when someone high enough on the food chain starts complaining.
I don’t necessarily think this is brand new. Cold War era thinking was nutty, basically “hey let’s shove a reactor into everything.” We had the SLAM program and Project Pluto in the US during the 50s and 60s, I’m sure the USSR had something similar then too; probably a case of dusting off 60-70 year old plans and seeing if they still carry weight.
Debian’s great for this.
I’m also running NextCloud (the official AIO Docker image) on Debian. Great for that too.
Borderlands 2. Give me a mindless Diablo With Guns experience any day.
Closest thing I use to a professional app is DaVinci Resolve Studio on a distribution that is not officially supported by Blackmagic. Not only does Resolve Studio work perfectly, I am able to use Blackmagic hardware (Intensity Pro 4k, Speed Editor) without having to mess around with settings, config files, permissions, packages, etc.
The caveat here is the initial setup: I use an AMD GPU, and it’s a bit of a pain to get the free and licensed versions of Resolve working with those under Linux. However, once that’s out of the way, it’s completely seamless.
As for CAD…yeah that’s where everything falls over. There are tons of FOSS alternatives out there but I have yet to see any of them in a professional setting. Even Fusion360 is hit or miss under Wine, I spun up a Windows VM just to use that for my 3D printer tinkering.
Proxmox VE makes this easy. Also makes building a cluster of such hypervisors easy. There’s a free version that gives you the entire feature set but you need to pay for support and access to the Enterprise repository.
It’s not the only option, and it may not even be the best option, but it’s pretty damn good.
TrueNAS Scale. It’s based on Debian instead of FreeBSD (like TrueNAS Core) and has KVM virtualization and k3s containerized app support built in, in addition to being a NAS operating system.
More like purple Arch, but you don’t have to mess with your date/time because the certificates don’t break, and you can install stuff from the AUR without worrying about breaking your system.
Doesn't matter what their brand of the month is, Comcast is awful. Yeah their service is the fastest (on paper) in my neighborhood, but after the F-tier experience I had with them for several years, I settled for slower service with a different company that's been more consistent and cheaper (and still somehow manages to have faster upload speeds than even Comcast's 1Gbps plan). Bunch of whiny piss babies, they absolutely should be forced to comply with this rule and reveal precisely how they screw their customer base.
The one without the smaller ones inside had a weird name like “auspicious day Shiba Inu pillow” or something like that. They’re also sold as corgis despite, you know, having curly tails.
The religious right seized on the revocation of 501(c)(3) status for private schools that discriminate based on race as their initial cause. That plus white flight allowed the southern states to maintain segregation in schools. It culminated in the Bob Jones University vs United States case in the Supreme Court. They didn’t say a thing about abortion until the late ‘70s.
There was a native release from the jump, it was always kind of jarring being able to install it without selecting a Proton version first.
It’s not what zombocom can do, it’s what you can do at zombocom.
Nope, no snapshots. The bugchecks in the logs vary with the last two being 0x0a and 0x3b - drivers and memory - but this is on both Stable and Latest virtio drivers and memtest86+ comes up clean on the hardware. I’ve never taken a snapshot of this VM since it’s on my workstation and not for production use.
What I have noticed, though, is an increase in memory utilization in the VM at idle, likely due to recent group policy changes and application updates (it is domain-joined). I’ll see if increasing the amount of memory allocated will take care of 0x3b.
How recently did calling become supported? About a month ago I was still unable to even log in using Firefox unless I used a user agent switcher, and even then only text-based messaging worked.
If you’re using Debian as a daily driver you can always use a Flatpak if you need a newer version than what’s available in the repos. The foundation is solid, though, and that’s what matters - it’s one of the things that keeps bringing me back to Debian for office workstation use.
