beerclue,

All of those apply to Germany as well. Except floppies …

beerclue,

The last time I had an issue with Linux drivers was in 2002, trying to set up a pppoe connection. I had no smartphone and there were no YouTube, Reddit, wikis, forums etc.

Back in 2016 I helped install some wifi drivers on a friend’s laptop in Ubuntu 16.04, which was not really a big deal.

I feel like these memes are made by Windows users :)

beerclue,

Project Zomboid players be like: where’s the crowbar?

But if I had to choose, the body armor, machete, fire axe, and the mighty katana.

PS: in my current PZ playthrough, 3 months and 5k kills in, and just found my very first katana. (lowest loot setting, highest zombie pop).

beerclue,

I used Infinity with Reddit, and now Eternity with Lemmy. Same interface, better platform. :)

Ways to pirate music as convenient as Spotify?

The reason I gave up on MP3’s and subscribed to Spotify was because Spotify was easy. I’ve been listening “Iron Maiden - Empire of the Clouds” song every day and like a week ago, its removed. This was the last straw for me. Right now I’m trying to find “Stremio” of the music world. Can someone assist?...

beerclue,

Does ViMusic support Android Auto? That’s a nifty find, thanks!

beerclue,

At my current job, our department (DevOps), uses Linux (arch). A couple of devs too (Ubuntu), the rest use a mix of Macs and Windows. The Online versions of Office work just fine, there is Teams, Azure login and even Intune for Linux now.

At my previous job, most of the company used Windows, but the devs were using 90% Linux (Ubuntu), some of them with 2 machines (laptop and workstation with GPU, point cloud stuff). Ah, the good ole days of Ubuntu 16 and Nvidia drivers 🥲

The job before that, a very small company, mostly devs, we were using half Windows, half Linux (mint).

This is Germany btw.

beerclue,

I mean, it still wants edge, which is okay for the online office stuff (SSO), but it’s pretty bare, when compared to Windows. No policies and stuff. Install it and forget it situation, mostly used for reporting. Ah, we also use defender for endpoint, on all 3 oses, which is rather decent.

beerclue,

If you are concerned, you could just not allow it to talk to the outside… I use pihole, and didn’t see any “talking” from it.

beerclue,

Right, and all of these are optional or block-able. I guess it depends on the use case.

But, like others suggested, you could also go the custom nas way. That way it’s completely under your control.

beerclue,

NAS… I have a Synology with 4x18tb drives.

beerclue,

Not only for Nextcloud, but I recommend setting up crowdsec for any publicly facing service. You’d be surprised by the amount of bots and script kiddies out there trying their luck…

What is a small .EPUB reader that is easy to install for my small Puppy remaster?

My question is basically the title. I’m making my own Puppy Linux remaster and it already has a .PDF reader for it that is very small. I think it’s called Evince? It has a native GTK UI and starts in a second, uses very little RAM and CPU. Now I need a .EPUB reader. I’ve seen a couple different .EPUB reader apps out there...

beerclue,

As far as I know, MuPDF is not that heavy, and can view both PDFs and EPUBs (and others).

I personally use zathura, which is a very, very light weight document viewer, has vi style key bindings, and has plugins for viewing PDF, EPUB, CB, and others. Works pretty well in a keyboard centric desktop environment (I use Hyprland).

beerclue,

An i7 gen 10 with QS can handle transcoding way better than a Xeon…

beerclue,

You don’t need to join the domain to access that smb share… You have to use the DOMAIN\username when authenticating though.

beerclue,

If you use WSL, you can easily access the windows drives. In a VM, you can share the folder from the host.

Another method would be to just mount the remote smb location from your DC using fstab. I use Linux on bare metal, and I added a line to my remote share with noauto, so it doesn’t mount it automatically at boot, since I need to connect to the VPN first, and I don’t need permanent access. When I do need access, I just run mount adm and I’m in.

beerclue,

Fair enough. I just read it like “I need to access a smb share from a Linux machine” :)
