  • Replace Windows, Excel needed

    Jump

  • It's been a year (maybe two) since I last tried. I tried activating mine with my work account and got caught up on the Duo 2FA not working. When you activated yours, did you have to go through any 2FA prompts? If you did, do you remember what tricks (if any) you had to use to make it activate successfully?

  • American actor George Clooney and his family are granted French citizenship. Clooney previously said that 'his children have a better life in France than in the United States.'

  • Wait, what? He has to pay the US government on potential taxable income he might have made and owed to the government if he were still a citizen? That doesn't seem fair. Even if we weren't talking about a movie star. I don't want to pay the government when I divorce them for my new country.

  • Can you try running remmina in xwindow mode instead of wayland and see if that bandages the problem? I remember having that problem when I had two monitors, but it gave me an excuse to upgrade to an ultra wide so I didn't troubleshoot it that much.

    Encrypt your Linux with LUKS, like seriously.

    Jump

  • It took me several attempts to get this right, but it's a game changer.

  • LUKS decrypt at boot over SSH?

  • +2 for dropbear. I use it on a VPS and my media server.

  • Why?

    Jump

  • My heat was out and I needed a way to warm my apartment so installed Gentoo on my Dell XPS. /s

    That was around the time Windows 2000 was coming out and I couldn't afford a copy. I'd been dabbling for a year or two before. That was my first and last dual boot computer. MythTV really sold me on linux.

  • [Solved] Can I upgrade my server directly from Debian 11 to 13 without problems?

    Jump

  • I did it by accident last week on a long running VM. It was rough because I also had the official docker repo as a source. I was stuck in a partial state for a while and only a lot of googling helped. Only recommended if you're bored.

  • Finally correcting the Degoogling lists

    Jump

  • The war is still ongoing. Many of us never figured out how to quit Vi.

  • Microsoft Word documents will be saved to the cloud automatically on Windows going forward

  • I'm waiting for them to edit the comment and add an /s tag.

  • Office workers - Has anyone here convinced their boss to let them install a Linux distro on their work desktop?

    Jump

  • I officially switched my work laptop to linux after the security wonks made it impossible for me to have both network interfaces up amd connected at the same time. As a network engineer working in an airgapped lab prepping new equipment for deployment, it made it pretty hard for me to transfer and install software to the new equipment and consult online documentation. I asked, I received a non-answer, so I just did it. I don't keep it a secret, I follow all of the recommended security practices, and no one has complained to me.

  • I wish this wasn't true. My teen thought this for a few minutes and I had to correct her. I thought she was gaslighting me at first.

  • Oof. I am pretty sure it was Mandrake in 97. I bounced around trying what was around before settling on Gentoo for a decade plus. Then both my laptop and desktop got too long in the tooth to make distcc even worthwhile and migrated to Arch. I figured it was the closest distro to Gentoo that I wouldn't have too many problems. I don't know howong it's been now, but I'm an Arch fangirl. I've installed it many times since on work computers as well. For remote systems though, it's always Debian stable.

  • What was Linux like in the 90s

    Jump

  • That's just the way things were done back then. Slack has been around long enough that that's just the way it is.

  • Unneeded new distro(s) and their immaturity.

    Jump

  • I figured, I was playing on the number of github repos with instructions for curl pipe bash combos.

  • Unneeded new distro(s) and their immaturity.

    Jump

  • Maybe one you could just download and pipe to bash. /s

  • Where are you planning your next vacation to?

    Jump

  • I'm thinking about going to Seattle in June. I've never been and I think it would be cool to visit for a week. It will be the first vacation for my wife and I without our children. So... 22 years?

  • How do you solve dynamic DNS?

    Jump

  • I just dump the changes with timestamps to a text file. Notifications for IP changes get sent to matrix after the DNS record is updated.

  • YSK: You might be unknowingly doxxing yourself by sharing links containing trackers

    Jump

  • This. Alternatively, share the link to URL Cleaner, unshorten it, and remove the extra junk. It's an extra few steps, but worth it.
