Then find sysadmin/devops/sre/younameit job 😅

WindowsEnjoyer,

Try to browse Lemmy without finding anything about Linux 😅

WindowsEnjoyer,

Before that you have to download it. Well, using p2p mechanisms.

WindowsEnjoyer,

Sir, I must ask - what are the chances that emplpyee might steal a movie? Or is it not possible because of DRM?

Me vs my ISP

So I was looking into getting port forwarding set up and I realized just how closed-off the internet has gotten since the early days. It’s concerning. It used to be you would buy your own router and connect it to the internet, and that router would control port-forwarding and what-have-you....

WindowsEnjoyer,

First time hearing about sshuttle, thanks! What I did some time ago is to order small VPS in Linode, hosted wireguard server and let my router connect to it. Since connection is established - I’ve port-forwarded all ports (except 22) from VPS to my router via established wireguard connection.

Then all I have to do is to manage port forwarding on my router, but if I want to connect to my router from outside - I must use VPS IP.

Worked great, except the fact that I used to have mobile internet and as a rule of thumb - upload speed of mobile internet suck ass…

WindowsEnjoyer,

Best use-case of AWK is that you can avoid using grep for picking a Nth word in specific line. I tend to ask GPT4 to write one-liner for me. Works super great.

WindowsEnjoyer,

Suddenly no more office-only or office-first policies, suddenly there is money to offer, suddenly there is possibility to have a better computer.

Also suddenly HR system couldn’t work for a week, so signing a new counter-offer contract might not be possible at the moment. “Cancel your offer, you will sign in next week”.

Interesting stuff :)

WindowsEnjoyer,

he actively seeks to commit cybercrimes and even says so himself.

In 5-10 years he would change his mind. As of now - kid had no idea about life.

WindowsEnjoyer,

That’s what seedboxes are for. I am more than happy to download it only to re-seed.

WindowsEnjoyer,

Yeah, just like anti-antifa… 😅

WindowsEnjoyer,

Can’t wait for anti-antibiotics movements! 😅

WindowsEnjoyer,

Why don’t he use some platform like Github/Gitlab and alike? The method to send patches via email is just stupid, isn’t it?

WindowsEnjoyer,

I know, my use case, is very unique and niche

It’s not. It’s as simple as “download and watch”, but thanks to DRM you can’t simply do it. Then pirating is the only way for you.

Wanting to improve my Linux skills after 17 months of daily driving Linux

I’ve been daily driving Linux for 17 months now (currently on Linux Mint). I have got very comfortable with basic commands and many just works distros (such as Linux Mint, or Pop!_OS) with apt as the package manager. I’ve tried Debian as a distro to try to challenge myself, but have always ran into issues. On my PC, I could...

WindowsEnjoyer,

I’ve been considering installing Arch the traditional way, on my X220, as a way to force myself to improve. Is this a good way to learn more about Linux and a Linux system in general?

Oh yes, that’s exactly how I learnt. Also I have 1000+ edits in Arch Wiki, but stopped contributing to it (as well as AUR) few years ago.

WindowsEnjoyer,

Kind reminder that majority of users use “Google” as their browser. :)

Next smartphone I buy, which one do you recommend?

Things that make me angry about my current smartphone Samsung Galaxy S21Ultra on a Verizon plan is the mandatory software updates in which they install WITHOUT MY PERMISSION stupid apps like Netflix and addictive gambling games and stacking block games and Candy crush. God knows what else they install without my permission. I...

WindowsEnjoyer,

I think your best bet is Framework laptops. If not, ThinkPads have superior Linux support.

Otherwise, pick your favorite model and read online. Also see if you can find your preferred model on Arch Wiki (laptop page).

Myself some time ago I’ve purchased Asus laptop. Spent quite some time (hobby) to get everything working (e.g. fan control) and documented everything in Arch Wiki.

Then I’ve got Asus Zenbook. Also had to participate in kernel bug report and test, because there were no audio. Eventually it got fixed in upstream and started to work.

Then I’ve got MSI gaming laptop. Had to participate in Intel DRM code issue, because 2K 240Hz panel was limited to 2K60Hz mode and eventually it got fixed too in upstream. Few workarounds are there and there, but eventually got it to work almost 100%, but audio is a bit…broken. Works fine, just first few secs after silence are silent.

Basically what I am trying to tell - manufacturers might introduce software-controlled hardware features that might work only in Windows. It requires experience and extensive knowledge to make everything manageable on Linux. :)

WindowsEnjoyer,

Arch Wiki is invaluable at this point.

And I don’t mean just Arch Linux (BtwOS), I mean countless amount of sysadmins, platforms engineers, developers, SREs and so on that uses it.

WindowsEnjoyer,

In Lithuania it’s legal, but they cannot say any words like “let’s play” or “best casinos” etc. I don’t know specific, but most of casino/betting ads are like these (always with the weird/annoying voice)

NAME, casino!

NAME, casino!

NAME, casino!

NAME, casino!

NAME, casino!

WindowsEnjoyer,

I don’t give a shit about your opinion!
