OMG, here we go again…

I can’t say I understand what’s written there at all, but if there are churos, I’m in!

Back when I was telling everyone to watch Severance.

"Is that on Netflix?

-hum, Apple TV I think.

-you have Apple TV ?

-…sort off"

I didn’t know about this. Thanks !

I also received spam calls on my German number. It’s not that frequent but it happens.

We all have Jean-Baptiste Kempf, and many other brilliant volunteer developers to thank for it

That just seems like a weird place to go on fire

Understood. Any public-facing server will be bombarded by bots. You need to deploy measures to avoid being hacked:

1. Firewall: lockdown everything, allow only the strict necessary
2. Remote login/SSH: update default username and pasword, only allow remote login using Encryption Key authentification
3. (Optional) configure fail2ban to slowdown the attacks
4. Keep your server up-to-date: configure auto-update, unattended-update or similare
5. Setup and keep regular backups: be ready to nuke your server at anytime, with the confidence you can restart fresh in a short time and low effort

Obviously, there are many other security steps that can be put in place, but firewall and ssh hardening are absolutely mandatory

It sounds like you made your Jellyfin server public-facing, which is probably not what you want, even though it is supposed to be secured.

I recommend that you setup access through an exclusive and private connection of some kind. E.g: VPN, Tailscale, ZeroTier.

I have tried openSCAD and FreeCAD, they are both good in their own right, but utimatly they also both have very steep learning curves. I suppose Blender can also be used for CAD but I have no experience with it. I just want to quickly design some parts for 3D printing as a hobby and don’t feel like spending hundreds of hours learning those tools. I am current using Onshape.com, it works well on Linux/Firefox, suits my needs and free to use with some limitations. But it is proprietary :(

It’s not about Laptop vs worksation. It’s about how new is the Hardware compared to the Linux Kernel shipping with the LTS distribution. If your hardware is older than the kernel, you will most likely not have any problems. For example, let’s say you use Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, which ships with Kernel 5.17 releaed in may 2022, if your computer is made of parts released in 2021, no problem.

I don’t think there is a one-fits-all solution. It depends what you are trying to do. For me it goes something like this:

• transfer multiple files from 2 computers under my control: rsync
• transfer few files between computers in my local network: NFS or SMB
• tranfer 1 file from 2 computers in my control: scp
• synchronize files between computers/phones: syncthing
• synchronize files with cloud hosting: rclone
• distribute files with relatives: cloud hosting, share link (I use pCloud, not FOSS)

When I opened the package, I was sure I was missing one of the chair’s leg. I went back to the shop and they told me everything is there. So, back home I started to assemble it, now I am finished and I am left with an extra chair leg. What do I do ?

Moving from Windows XP to Windows 7, i found that Windows 7 sucked, moved to linux and never looked back.

Maybe someone needs to come up with a better name

Confidence ? E.g: “he is very confident !” = “he has big dick energy !”

It’s going to depend. Are you using the Android version that can shipped with your device, or a custom ROM? are you using F-droid? have you ever reported a bug to an app developer ? I assume a big majority of Android users are consumers and not participants, but at least with Android you have options to participate. Nothing wrong with being a consumer BTW.

However, Android is quite a bit different from what is broadly understood as Linux. Yes, Android uses the Linux kernel, but appart from that it’s not a very open eco-system and Google absolutely controls the AOSP.

Most of the linux world is not for “consumers”, it’s for “participants” also refered to as “the linux community”. Android and SteamOS are consumer oriented indeed, you buy your device that ships with a Linux-based OS. But on the PC side of things, you just get, install and use linux for free with no strings attached. Just by doing so you become a participant of the linux community, and you contribute to shape the future of Linux as an OS by choosing a distro over another, by choosing a DE, by reporting bugs, etc.

Any company that has influence on the development of Linux, can only have it by contributing to the whole project. This is what Valve is doing, as well as Intel, Canonical, Redhat and even Microsoft.

Today I received a meeting invitation from the CTO (this doesn’t usually happen, I am getting dragged into a mud trap), the agenda for the meeting is “Plan to prepare for the preparation…” and my contribution to that meeting is to come prepared with a timeline of the plan. I am not even kidding.

I would do exactly what he did, move to Germany.

A colleague from South Korea explain to me that his daughter, 11yo, back in korea had school from 8:00 until 15:00, then had extra math class from 15:00 until 20:00 -every day- then spend 3 hours on homework. As a west-european, this sounds to me like child abuse, but ok.
