I remember first hearing about 1TB and thinking (who needs that much storage?) wasn’t an IT person then just a regular nerd but am now and it took me a while to ever fill up my first 1TB HDD (steam folder) now I have a 2TB NVME in my desktop and a 4TB NVME in my server (for my Linux ISOs ;))
Oh I’ve done some wicked shit with awk that things literally magic
Afaik that’s the common read on 3-2-1 though im wondering these days if the “separate mediums” still is that relevant to me it means storing data on different types of disks however in the end all is zfs for me so not really a different medium (since same file system)? Anyway I still have to set up my off-site backups anyway to adhere to 3-2-1 :D
The problem is that USB-C is a plug not a standard even in charging some cables won’t do as much power as others (though at least they communicate that to the power source).
I do however fully support the total USB-C rollout. In my everyday carry there’s now only one plug (2 USB-C one USB-A) and some cables that I can charge everything with, my laptop, my phone my Powerbank and even those few devices that are still USB-B micro (I just carry one USB-A to micro cable).
Thanks. I love these kind of fun OpenSource community projects/ideas/jokes whatever. The readme reminds me of ed
I’ve been using Linux exclusively for ~14 years now. Heavily gaming on Linux only for the last ~8 years.
It was possible (though sometimes headache inducing) to play most games back then (Wine and soon Proton to thank) the biggest change IMHO came with SteamPlay since it turned the headache into one click on most games (thanks to the amazing work of wine/proton developers and the tinkering of the community).
When the SteamDeck released people seemed surprised at the breadth of games that were running on day one. To me it was not really a surprise since I had been Linux gaming with SteamPlay all the time and was almost expecting games to “just work” (though I still would and still am checking ProtonDB before purchase).
What the SteamDeck changed in my view was
I feel that the SteamDeck with SteamOS has really put Linux, especially Linux gaming on the map. Even though I want to be like “Linux Gaming has been a thing forever, I was doing it before it was cool” ;) I have to recognize that fact. In the past years I’ve seen so many people setting up Linux especially by the way of SteamOS (using HoloISO, Chimera …) just to play/mess with it which is also why I think an Official SteamOS release will make a huge difference.
Tl;dr: Gaming on Linux was a thing before. But the SteamDeck/SteamOS 3 made a huge impact nonetheless.
Seriously. I work in IT (mostly Linux) but whatever OS 90% of the Job is knowing how to properly phrase problems for Google and then you just need to know how/where to apply solutions.
Obviously there is no one easy explanation here (as you can see by all the different responses).
I think evolutionary factors play into a general affection people have for boobs. They are humans first source of food and with it an extremely intimate contact. Also on a “birth readiness” perspective Boobs on a woman suggest that she can feed a child (just as wide hips suggest she can bear one).
There is something to be said about culture. Since boobs are considered “sexual” they have to be covered in “decent” settings (see also discussions about female presenting nipples on social media) which simply adds to their sexualization.
Also, in my sexual experience (Bi male) nipples and breasts (boobs/man boobs …) are erogenous zones so playing with them (touching/pinching/kissing/biting…) actually is arousing thus they are “sexual” parts.
Thats just my two cents.
Started on Gnome 2 for a short stint then used Unity for a while (used to be Ubuntus DM). When I switched away from Ubuntu I was still looking for something “familiar” so switching to Gnome (it was like 3.8 at the time) felt right. Have been using Gnome ever since.
I’ve thought about switching to KDE a few times (when Gnome made some bone headed decision) but the way key combos and workflows are ingrained to me I would just set up any DE to feel like Gnome so why should I switch.
I’ve never understood the Mint hype. Like you say it seems like Ubuntu with extra steps.
I do have beefs with some of the decisions Canonical makes but if anyone asks me what distri they should start with I will always recommend Ubuntu simply because it’s “the distro” if you search for “Linux” tutorials online 9 times out of 10 you will get a tutorial aimed at Ubuntu. Packages for software that isn’t in repos are usually available as .deb …
Damn! That’s definitely a “I’m old” moment for me. I still remember when I first heard about the concept and I remember setting it up the first time on a self hosted project (which seemed harder back then).
Awesome project!
Nextcloud.
I was hosting nextcloud at home for years. Then when I worked in a Datacenter I got to host some servers there from free so I set up a two-node proxmox with nextcloud and some other stuff. Now I don’t work there anymore and I really felt the hole nextcloud left, no more notes syncing for notes, tasks, calendar, podcasts no more place to upload my photos from my phone … So now I’m hosting nextcloud at home again.
I also host jellyfin which is nice but if I don’t have it doesn’t actively hamper my workflow.
I’m in the lucky position that I always could work with Linux. I was working with people that couldn’t be bothered to run Windows on their Desktops (administering mostly Linux Servers anyway). In my first job we had a “Standardized” Fedora desktop that was actually attached to our AD so you could log in at any desktop with your domain user. However we did have internal tools and some software requirement that only were available on Linux meaning everyone in our department had a Windows VM for using those tools (kinda overkill but ok). My last job we didn’t have any standard other than the system had to be encrypted and had Eset installed other than that we could set it up he was we liked.
Could I work with a Windows desktop? Sure I’m on the Terminal sshing into systems 98% of the time anyway but at the end of the day I love to simply be on Linux having a workflow I’m used to.
Regarding Office I was just using Office online for anything that needed it.
Getting Linux Systems into AD is possible (but of course requires cooperation on the side of the IT department)
Proxy and VPN should mostly be doable (but of course might not be able to be deployed via Group policies)
Moved my sister to Ubuntu a while ago aside from the occasional support call everything works quite well.
As for my mom, I sat her down way back and told her she needed to move off of Windows XP (support was running out). I explained to her that she could learn Windows 7 and eventually 10 (8 was already a known dud by then) or she could switch to a “Traditional” desktop paradigm that resembled XP closely where she’d only had to relearn once and then keep running it forever, so I moved her to MATE.
While most issues she had with incompatibilities could be solved (and often remotely by me just via ssh) there was one MFP that just wouldn’t scan properly (I’ve scoured the web for guides and sane drivers etc.) in the end I set up a Dual boot Windows (with a nice "switch to Windows " script right in the pinned apps) just so she could scan from there (scans automatically saved on a NAS share that was also available in Linux so she could use the scanned documents there). These days the MFP died and she got a new one that will actually scan in Linux but I kept the dual boot just in case (though I doubt she ever uses it).
This. I have been running it the same way for some time now. Even if you change something on one machine and something else on another nextcloud will just happily inform you of the conflict and then you can open both databases and cherry pick. Never had corruption issues.
Vista was truly the greatest Windows I’ve ever used. I had been using 98 and XP when I bought my first Laptop (the first computer that was truly mine that I had bought with my own money) and it was running Vista of course. Being a curious computer user I twiddled with the system a lot and it broke A LOT so I learned fixing (or reinstalling it) eventually I figured out that Windows only lets you get so far in twiddling and customization so I tried out that hacker OS Linux with a dual boot at first and eventually switching completely. Haven’t run Windows as a daily driver since ~2011-12 now working as a Linux Sysadmin. All thanks to that stupid piece of shit Vista :)
Sorry bit tired rn and English is a second language to me so I’m not quite understanding your reasoning.
If he can come in he can come in
So far so clear
If he can’t come in he can come in
Is that a typo?
My understanding here is this.
The joke is that the correct question in this situation normally would be “May I come in” asking for permission rather than “Can I come in” asking if he (physically or otherwise) is able to come in.
Since Vampires can only cross a threshold if they are “allowed” in or “invited” inside so unless the resident tells him he may come in he actually physically can’t
However saying he can come in wouldn’t actually be an invitation inside if we’re being nitpicky here since, from the humans point of view, assuming the vampire is another human, he would assume that he can come in from his perspective (i.e. he doesn’t know of any physical hindrance for the Vampire to come in) but since he hasn’t invited him in the Vampire actually can’t come in so the humans statement “You can come in” would be a subjective fact that would not be objectively true?
Sorry I got more to think about on this but gotta sleep. Maybe I’ll edit this later 😅
For files are in git (using stow to recreate) and my documents folder is syncing to nextcloud (selfhosted) and this also to my laptop. This is of course not a “Backup” per se more a “multiple copies” but it gets the job done and also firs my workflow. To be happy with that I want to set up an offsite backup of data from my server to a NAS in my parents place but right now that’s just a to-do I haven’t put any work in yet ;)
They absolutely do have “Startup Applications” in gnome not sure what the article is describing but I usually use gnome-tweak which offers a simple interface that shows currently running apps and a list of all apps and easily lets you select them to start at boot
