I do agree - years ago he was doing some good case reviews and I’d pick his videos to compare against others, but I do agree with other comments here that he’s getting click-baity and I tend to skip his vids now

It’s not much better in German

Just add a “Not To Be Used In California” note.

If - yep, a VERY big If - that happened it would at least trigger a larger discussion. At the moment, no-one in the general public knows about this erosion of privacy.

Nice.

I have a few in my team that took their CCNA last year - it’s definitely a good broad level for networking, but I recall there was a lot of other Cisco product knowledge required (ie “adverts”) in the exam for products that we never use, so a lot of learning is just wasted.

Good Luck.

And under Settings->Extra Settings->Audio on Android version of VLC

Define “Operating System”…

I guess my washing machine & car are also going to be “not for use in California.”

Those Cisco switches & Broadcom DSLAMs would be tricky too … I guess the internet’s “not for use in California.”

And the air-gapped power station control system? “not for use in California.”

It is annoying that these laws come in (I’m also including magical thinking about encryprion backdoors for “the good guys”) without any form of real-world, practical assessment. Complete waste of tax payers money and undue stress for everyone.

FFS.

Ok, I started to disconnect about halfway through that article and skimmed the rest, but I don’t see how this is a trap.

I just see someone highlighting LLM categorisation and the legality of training data… but no trap.

Or, am I the one stepping blindly into a trap?

A recent post in here linked to this: https://ba.antheas.dev/bazzite-postmortem.html

👆🏻 This is what I install everywhere for others that I’d need to maintain as I can leave it for 6 months and then do an update.

For more advanced users that want to play & learn, plain vanilla Arch. You learn what the hell is in your own machine.

But, as someone else said, get a feel for different desktop environments (DE) as Linux has many whereas Windows only had 1.

I thought Bazzite was now dying?

Also Arch, but barefoot

I built my own NAS from Arch (btw) and wanted to just install standard packages and use standard tools (ie gparted, clonezilla, etc).

I’ve got btrfs RAID5 running fine.

Had loads of power outages (we had water meeting electrics) and have no problems at all.

Of course, RAID is not a backup, so all my important stuff is on Hetzner too.

I don’t really follow the ZFS news, but I understand that resizing / adding new drives is / was a problem, plus, back when I built this, I would’ve needed kernel patching… there’s a higher chance of those causing a problem - for my use case - than btrfs, so if you’re like me, just crack on and enjoy the easy life.

I agree that Linux phones would be an alternative, but they’re not going to get there by the September deadline.

Open Android development will need to continue for another (vague handwaving) 5 years yet

I’d like to tell you a joke about UDP, but you might not get it… 😉

Yep, totally agree… the right tool for the right job.

Get an SSH tunnel working first.

That’ll find all the problems poking holes through home routers, dynamic public IPs, etc.

Once you’ve got that part running, then you can look at VNC or… and hear me out… I just run the X11 apps remotely. So I’m opening their apps on my laptop, changing the config for their session and it’s done.

I reconfigured Thunderbird that way when we moved email providers foe the family’s email.

No need for VNC to transmit all their screen when just the app is needed 😉

Thankyou. For some reason thst just made me laugh and I’ve had a shit day… so thanks 🙂

I bet you it’s a hardware issue.

Run Memtest+ to check the RAM first…

Might be a PSU / heat issue…

It’s not about AV. It’s about vulnerabilities.

AV just uses (often multiple) vulns to do something, and with closed-source systems you can’t fix it yourself, so you need an application to do it for you.

AV is a block-list approach… always needs updating, even for things you don’t have. Linux can operate with allow-lists, so only the apps you have can execute.

Plus firewalls (outbound as well as inbound), SSH, secure package repos, etc.

You don’t need AV, but, you can have it if you want it (maybe file-less memoey resident stuff)

But, yeah, that other post was just mayhem.
