I hate the fact that if you want to change the case on a file in windows, you can’t just replace the offending letter. You have to change the name completely, then change it back with the correct casing. Then Windows will finally keep it.

I always made the mistake of starting to edit videos, finish up, then looking up the video fps and matching the project type before output. Immediate crash.

This is actually a question I’d like some opinions on!

I have a ton of headless servers running Debian that I just replace the sources.list for an upgrade. I imagine things are much more complicated when switches like X11 to Wayland happen, so all desktop environments get a wipe/install instead… But maybe I’m just making a lot of work for myself doing that!

I’m guessing ease of installation/use.

As somebody who has had to set up smartcards, yes. It’s a linux system managing that. The end-user GUI stuff is all Windows though.

There’s a surprising amount of Linux in some hospitals… but people just don’t see it. Fetal Monitors? Probably Linux. User tracking and auditing software? Also Linux. Network downtime document viewer? Linux. Heck, the software that carts use to print sheets to the network printers is CUPS.

I would be so confused and so very angry at the end. I had a hard enough time working inside vim-tiny.

I’ve tried. Check how large the list got before I completely blocked the domain a couple years ago. And it STILL let stuff through, as they constantly add more crud that infests the pages. The focus isn’t on the content, it’s on the revenue… and they push hard on the revenue. I bet every single module has an extensive list of trackers attached.

Every annoying thing ever invented is embedded in every single fandom page. Ads, twitch streams, ads, personality polls, ads, content gating behind login, ads, sidebars, ads, popups, ads, “share with facebook”, ads, “Tweets from thisguy”, ads, “Check us out on tiktok”, ads, ads, ads and some more ads…

I think the only four I have set to block are reddit, twitter, facebook’s products and fandom. A shame those are always the top 10 results from any search.

I’m going to need a source on both those claims to better understand how they can happen.
For an ISP to mitm, they’d need to sign and send the website certs themselves, and that’d show up in most browsers as a big red flag.
As far as Facebook goes, I was sure that’s just javascript and tracking cookies that they’re paying websites to use. No mitm there.

Are either KVM powered by an AC adapter or are they riding off the 5v rail of your PC?
I had a very similar problem and found that the 5v on my PSU was going bad, and as devices powered down/up the KVM would vanish for a second and reconnect.

Maybe I’m just not getting it, but if we’ve mostly transitioned to HTTPS and encrypted DNS… what exactly can the ISP learn other than the address they serve and MAC of your gateway? Is this report for those who use their ISP’s DNS?

I feel like there is a scary amount of copyright infringement going on to make it look THAT much like Windows 11.

Does discovery mode not have a timer? Feels like that should be the default mode… turn it on, you have x amount of time to find and pair before it turns back off.

Can’t say I have any interesting stories. Most of mine are just the head-scratching “I don’t know why that didn’t work; guess I need to reinstall” kind of story. Like enabling encrypted LVM on install and suddenly nothing is visible to UEFI. Or trying to switch desktop environments using tasksel and now I have a blank screen on next reboot. That lame kind of stuff.

My coworker though… he was mindlessly copy/pasting commands and did the classic rm -rf $UNSETVARIABLE while in / and nuked months of migrated data on his newly built system. He hadn’t even set up backups yet. Management was upset but lenient.

I find it pretty easy to use when building my 3d print adapters, brackets, containers and very simple objects. But if, like me, spaghetti code is your natural language… OpenSCAD does you no favors.
