  • ZeroTier is pretty easy to set up, but at the point where you're worrying about "barriers to sharing" you should probably using a cloud service anyway.

  • China does have a higher life expectancy than the US, but still a lower one than most other capitalist nations. You are wrong about Cuba, it still has a lower life expectancy.

  • We should definitely be switching to the specification in RFC 6214. IPoACv6 is the latest standard.

  • IPv6 is great, but NAT is quite functional and is prolonging the demise of IPv4.

  • What distro should I use on my potato?

  • Puppy Linux was my first ever Linux distro. Great memories.

  • Defences Down! ClamTk is No Longer Maintained - OMG! Ubuntu

  • Not starving is considered splurging now, got it.

  • Microsoft's Collapse in the Web Server Space Continued This Month

    Jump

  • Can confirm that Windows Server is taught in school IT programs, and can confirm that Windows Server is still being used for both Active Directory and on-premises virtualization (Hyper-V). I interned at a large international organization with networks on 6 continents and it was moving its server infrastructure back to its own datacenters because of rising costs of cloud hosting. It used Hyper-V on Windows Server to host every thing.

  • And yet, half of my website is hosted on Azure Storage. That little unsolicited remark about Microsoft's valuation at the bottom is clearly the result of smoking too much copium by the biased author.

  • Toner is tiny plastic particles, but ink can be made of various biodegradable dies and ink cartridges can be more easily refilled. Toner tends to be more economical than ink, but for the same reason that it is less environmentally friendly: Plastic particles don't dry up or biodegrade. Additionally, toner cartridges print more pages before needing to be replaced.

  • Ink is also supposedly more environmentally friendly than toner.

  • KB, MB, GB, and TB are all part of the metric system. What empirical measurements should we Free™️ Americans use for computer memory?

  • When I interned in a NOC I referred to bandwidth in GiB/s once or twice. The looks on the senior engineers' faces were priceless.

  • Lol, it's kinda sad how personally you're taking OP's opinion about Mint's UX. Time to touch some grass.

  • From the video I saw, it looked like the ship hit the support nearly straight-on. If they built some sort of underwater pile of rubble to cause ships to run aground earlier, or perhaps bumpers that extend further out to redirect ships, that could potentially work. But yeah, it was basically a head-on collision. An edge case.

  • OP didn't talk shit though, they explained their experience in a pretty fair and neutral way. Don't take criticisms against Linux so personally.

    Jump

  • Your arguments aren't really addressing the points that OP made, though. They aren't saying they expected everything to work just like Windows, they are saying they expected everything to just work. Any system that requires tinkering for basic stable functionality should be considered experimental and not ready for production.

    If you disagree you are falling prey to dogmatic OS fundamentalism. Acknowledging insufficiencies helps improve Linux, while rejecting such criticism prolongs the amount of time the majority of people write it off as unusable as a desktop operating system.
