I don’t bother with PiHole because DNS-based ad blocking quite frankly sucks and is only getting worse.

I’m still waiting for someone like AdGuard to release a MITM proxy that does something similar to uBlock Origin and strips ads directly from the network traffic

But until then, browser extensions are good enough for most usecases (Firefox user so the adblocking ones work on mobile as well)

I liked the WSL1 approach better. I find it ironic that the Windows kernel lacks so many useful features that it simply wasn’t possible to properly implement things like cgroups on top of it, so they just gave up and ran Linux in a VM for WSL2

Try Ubuntu mate

'straya!!

I’m glad I’m not the only one

Next thing Gentoo is too easy so they spend a week setting up Linux From Scratch

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...

Haha I’m stealing that. Btw I use Arch (and so does my wife)

HVDC is also used to connect the North Island of New Zealand to the South Island, since much power generation occurs in the South island but more consumption happens in the North.

That would be get up in the afternoon, and also you have Lupis

PowerShell isn’t the best way to anything except a migraine

Damn security guys are trying to justify their existence again.

My Fedora is single user and the system handily comes with one called ‘root’

lightnegative,

That’s actually genius. Here’s me writing a script to just move the mouse randomly lol, starting a Teams meeting would’ve been way simpler

lightnegative,

This was my experience too. Shitty group policies messing with my local changes

lightnegative,

I mean, it’s what the Security guys do, right? Just copy+paste everything, mandate that everyone else does it too, Management won’t argue because it’s for “security” reasons.

Then the Security guys will sit around jerking each other off about how much more secure they made the system

lightnegative,

Developing on VMs also sucks, neverending network issues on platforms like Windows which have a shitty networking stack (try forwarding ports or using VPN connections).

In fact, Windows is just a shitty dev platform in general for non-Microsoft technologies but I get that you needed to go for the least shit option

lightnegative,

It has the same problem as any kind of TLS interception/ traffic monitoring tool.

It just breaks everything and causes a lot of lost time and productivity firstly trying to configure everything to trust a new cert (plenty of apps refuse to use the system cert store) and secondly opening tickets with IT just to go to any useful site on the internet.

Thankfully, at least in my case, it’s trivial to disable so it’s the first thing I do when my computer restarts.

Security doesn’t seem to do any checks about what processes are actually running, so they think they’ve done a good job and I can continue to do my job
