bjoern_tantau, to memes in Perfect thanks

Not on cheeseburgers. At least not at McDonald’s in Germany.

bjoern_tantau, to asklemmy in Who doesn't use an adblocker and why?
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

I’m so proud of my kids who will demand adblockers if something in their YouTube app or their browser is broken. Even though they like to see toy ads now and then. But when they get the amount a regular mortal receives it’s too much, even for them.

bjoern_tantau, to linux in Any experience with teaching kids Linux?
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

My kids have always been using Linux because that’s what I use on my gaming PC. When it was time for my eldest to get his own computer I tried to educate him on the differences between Linux and Windows (admittedly with my bias) and he chose Linux. I feel like wobbly windows played a big part in that.

He moans about some unsupported multiplayer games now and then and I have told him that we have a spare SSD he may use to install Windows. But so far his suffering wasn’t big enough to help me step him through that process.

bjoern_tantau, to linux in What Tweak, Program, ... changes a Desktop Environment from unusable to great for you?
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Not exactly unusable, but when wobbly windows aren’t activated it unironically feels broken to me.

bjoern_tantau, to memes in Air cooling is just better
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

You’re supposed to use distilled water which is not conductive. At least that used to be the case last I saw liquid cooling.

In the end it’s simply not worth it for me. You still need to radiate the heat out, which usually means a big fan, which most air coolers nowadays have anyways.

bjoern_tantau, to selfhosted in Do any of you have that one service that just breaks constantly? I'd love to love Nextcloud, but it sure makes that difficult at times
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Only complaints I have with Nextcloud are that it’s slow and updates suck over the web interface. But apart from that it has been reliable. I’m not running it through Docker. In fact, my installation is so old that the database tables still have an oc_ prefix.

bjoern_tantau, to linuxmemes in You have no power here
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Downloading a virus has as much effect on Windows as it does on Linux and any other operating system: None.

Unless it exploits a security vulnerability with something that automatically touches the file. Like a virus scanner.

bjoern_tantau, to memes in out of context Ranma.
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

To be fair, in-context Ranma usually evokes similar interpretations.

bjoern_tantau, to linux in What's with all these hip filesystems and how are they different?
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

I used a script that did everything for me, so I’m not 100 % sure. But as far as I know you enable the feature at mount time and then every time you copy something only a reference is copied until you actually do a change to the new or old file.

For everything else a cronjob runs every week or so to search for unnecessary duplicates.

bjoern_tantau, to linuxmemes in Looks like I'll be distrohopping again!
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

That’s why God invented OpenSUSE Tumbleweed for all your stable rolling release needs.

bjoern_tantau, to asklemmy in Does France have a terrorism problem?
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Saw a documentary about Vienna the other day. They have state sponsored housing that is cheap or free and nice to look at and situated together in rich neighbourhoods to work against segregation.

Don’t know if this is the case for all of Vienna or Austria.

bjoern_tantau, to memes in Take that YouTube
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

I was really surprised (and annoyed) to see some ads on Twitch yesterday.
