I’m not a fan of alternative packaging solutions. Never been. If it’s not in Debian’s repositories then I don’t bother with it. Some would say that’s close minded as not all packaging solutions are bad but when you use a stable distribution like Debian the native packaging solution is a lot easier to maneuver and troubleshoot than flatpaks and the like.

MikroTik hAP ax3 seems to fit the requirements and is what I’m currently running. They add their enterprise features into the “consumer” packages, allowing you to set up VLANs, meshes, etc

I don’t have a gitlab account and I am able to view it. Not sure what’s wrong

I have a single passthrough VM that I use for building Windows binaries.

I followed this tutorial:

Photoshop is just one of the many apps included in the Adobe suite. So while this is a welcomed repo, I’m afraid it is not feasible for people who design professionally

I never used openRC (outside of Docker containers that run Alpine) so I wouldn’t know. Linux community has enough controversies, init utils shouldn’t be one of them

I thought people hate systemd because it’s a resource hog compared to OpenRC. TIL i guess

that’s just a troll, downvote and move on

I last tried in 2019 but LTT made a video recently saying they won’t accept sponsorships from Plex anymore until they fix downloads. I have a Plex Lifetime Pass and I’d love to use it again if the download worked, because that’s the only thing I want to use it for now (in between moving apartments)

Plex app does exist. The download feature on it is 50/50 and will bamboozle you when you need it most

vimms lair my beloved

VPN seems like a bigger hassle for me, I change one parameter to off in /etc/network/interfaces and it works great.

It depends on provider, one thing I can tell you for certain is that most of them don’t scan your file system, it is overhead they simply don’t need.

What is likely to happen is that they’ll get sent a DMCA and if they are a company that cares about DMCA claims (I.e. OVH) they’ll shut you down, if they don’t care then that DMCA claim goes directly to the trash can and you can continue business as usual.

This may not work for everyone, but the only way to truly embrace Linux was to wipe the windows partition and start using Linux. That’s it, you no longer have to option to run back to your dual booted Windows if shit doesnt work. You sit down and figure it out.

IPv6 torrenting for the most part goes unchecked by the companies who send threat letters to your ISP. I have a US seedbox which doesn’t have IPv4 and it’s been working great with a lot of public torrents

Thank you for your recommendation. I looked at some reviews and the Grifiti wrist rests look for like a good fit for my Keychron K6, thanks a lot.

I saw Etsy but the entire site gave me a “scam” vibe. Do you have any personal experience purchasing on Etsy?

I tried Usenet, wasn’t a big fan of it, to be honest.

The way I see it, unless you live in a country where your traffic is constantly moderated for torrent traffic, there’s no reason to not use torrents.

Also, IPv6 torrenting is for the most part unmoderated by ISPs, my friend who lives in California only torrents via IPv6 on qBit and he had gotten 0 emails from his ISP. However, YMMV depending on country.

I’m genuinely scared they’ll be coming for ansible next.

that used to be the motto, but the business masters now demand profits from the puppets or they’re coming for their jobs.
