Nice. So, I have an encfs folder on a cloud storage. Any way to use vaults to access it? Haven’t even found a way to load existing folders that were set up with vaults, let alone using something else…

Great, now I’ve got tea on my sweater…

This really caught me by surprise.

Then just sign it as a middle finger to Microsoft. The more people sign it, the worse they look

I just love the ambiguity of who “they” is in this case.

What part of the story are you referring to? The part where he asked for port 22 or the part where he got it?

That’s only because the fifth half usually is as difficult as two halfs at once.

Wait… You’re not using Linux at work???

Same. More specifically windows 8.

Dude, calm down.

I wasn’t trying to be condescending. If a technician has looked into it then I guess there isn’t much you can do. The issue usually not coming from copper cables was just supposed to maybe give you other ideas on where to look for an error. Like, maybe your router sharing its WiFi frequency with too many neighbours or something.

Also, I’m not saying you should spend more money on mobile. I just don’t think the pricing is as bad as it was ten years or so ago… Getting mobile broadband for 20 bucks is cheaper than most landlines and if the reception is decent it might be an alternative. If it isn’t for you that’s fair, too.

If LibreOffice isn’t an alternative then maybe try to run your office in wine? For things that aren’t games the setup is usually manageable. If that doesn’t work then maybe a VM might be a solution? I think most modern VMs offer modes where they keep the boot process of the guest OS hidden and just show you a single window. Like, you get an office icon on your desktop in Linux and if you click it the system boots a windows wm that directly launches an office window but only shows you this window once it’s there, which should seamlessly integrate into your Linux desktop. If you’re a student I think there are cheap or free ways for you to get a windows license to try this, but it’s been some time since I studied so don’t take my word on this.

DSL doesn’t do bandwidth sharing, so unless your provider’s backbone is over capacity, the amount of users is not relevant to you. Certainly not the ones in your apartment complex.

Mobile reception is hit or miss depending on your provider. Where I live, I have essentially no reception whatsoever on my work phone which has a Vodafone sim. My private one with a Telefonica sim is better but still bad with the phone usually getting 4g but with a bad signal, so Internet is decent but calls aren’t too good when I’m not on my WiFi. My wife’s Telekom sim on the other hand works perfectly, so maybe just try different providers? My wife’s using congstar (Telekom’s no frills brand) because she doesn’t need 5g. We generally pay between 15 and 20 bucks per month for our contracts, which all have more bandwidth than we need (20gb for me), which I think is manageable and not unreasonable at all. How much do you pay?

Lol. What the hell are you talking about? Internet could be better in some parts, but it’s certainly fine for Web apps.

Yeah, but it’s still pretty much as good as it gets with the original. Like, this is ms office. It opens ms office files. Even if it doesn’t do it as it did twenty years ago it can be pretty much considered the way it just looks now.

Man, I really was interested in that topic, but that guy really can’t do talks.

There are enough web based office instances running for Linux to be functional in that regard.

Photoshop on the other hand…

This module contain cmdlets to manage Windows Update Client.

Sounds trustworthy to me.

We demand a shrubbery!

I’m one of those shipments.

And then I returned it. Hated the phone.

double slowness.

Sorry, but we prefer to call that “cinematic”.

Snap and flatpak would like to disagree.

That’s just not true. Convenience and support matter.
