We should introduce Manifest V4 that would undo all damage V3 did.

I recent noticed my drive is dying but it cost about the same as I bought it for, 12 years ago.

This might lead some people to use the alternatives. I never had an account and I am just fine.

Accident installed. Then lets fix it by removing it from all computers.

In my opinion it should be illegal to shutdown as long as they have cars. I would not buy any device that requires internet access to work with basic functionality.

Is this only a concern if I travel to the US? Or is it enough to just have EDR.

I think I gave it up because of missing typing indicator. A very small thing. And maybe I also had problem with Video.

What do you use for desktop?

I wonder why not more people choose XMPP. What do you think?

I have never understood why there is no protocol that allows for multi-master node setup(if a message is written to one, then queue to write to the second one and ignore timestamp missmatchning and conflict resolution(It does not have to be perfect) - matrix put too much effort into this IMO).

For family i use Signal. My coworkers use IRC and I have it setup in link-mode for multi master support(but IRC does not have new features like send image, thread, reactions, emoji, text-styling, audio/video calls). Using unrealircd. Neat when the local city network is up but the fiber connection from the city network to the internet is down so I can still write to some friends, or dont care about uptime on my server since they fallback to the second, free, Oracle VM.

When you say fast you mean while gaming getting more fps or do you just mean when on desktop and changing Windows/starting applications?

Yes, that is the hard part. But it can be done. Geoip blocking like only allow your country - blocking every China or Russian user etc. If you are selfhosting at home and worry about your SSH access, then you can do a lot of things to block then early. It is all about authentication. Lets say you require VPN access in - example Wireguard. You could require access only through somebody else, like Cloud flare tunnel. You could also do “port knocking” but that is not encrypted. You could require the user first has to be authenticated somewhere else, like require first Microsoft login and only then your ip is allowed.

I believe it is a good start with crowdsec but feels like it gives false protection. The blocking only happens after they have done a couple of attempts and not before.

To me it is that i upgrade to few times so the laptop would be 10 years old and then everything is out of date. Maybe upgrade battery in between. However, I guess these are really good in the used(resold) market.

It is about reasonable defaults. Why would anyone want to stop their presentation for Windows update reboot? It should be much more friendly how it handles this. Like always check what the user is doing and when is a reasonable time to do it? Maybe at the end of the day.

Personally, I think they need to work on the whole concept. Make it as transparent as possible or less likely need a full reboot - containers or put more things in like wsl? Make the reboot only do reboot and not 20min installing updates… The user cant even chat on teams or browse the web while waiting. Think if it worked like like live cd that Linux can do.

Vlc.

INotify sounds best. Otherwise watch -n 10 git commit -am “auto” && git push. Git dont allow empty commits.

I just hate that the web browser is setting the minimum requirements for memory for an OS today.

I wanted to say Kubuntu but cloud not during the transition to Wayland. A few key features were missing. That required kde 6 to be fixed. At the time the next Kubuntu version were a LTS release so it was not going to include kde 6. Only solution were to choose something else that offered that but still were not bleeding edge. Fedora were the answer. Kept using since then. Also alogns a little better with my value of how things should be done like not so bloated , no snaps fight and BTRFs for backup.

How much better is it? I am thinking in terms of compression.

Is there no other option to verify? I mean like selecting bikes in pictures
