  • haha yes sorry! my wireless wlan had some issues with my personal pc when i was etablishing a secure ssh connection. could also be an error with my dns system or with the http protocol.

  • not sure about the legal side because when you install windows you accept eula and much more shit so im sure there is a sentence 'only keys officially bought from and provided from microsoft shall be used.'

  • didnt know about massgrave until now. looks promising too.

  • you can activate any windows or office by using vlmcsd (https://github.com/Wind4/vlmcsd). you can selfhost it, choose any windows version like 11 pro or enterprise or office product like office 24 enterprise. activate it using your kms server and you can enter the matching licence key every so often to activate it. doesn't cost a cent except hosting on 512mb/1cpu. i think there are public kms servers with vlmcsd too. obviously JUST FOR TESTING PURPOSES ;)

  • ipv6 is great for public networks/ wan or extreme large nets. but for a small local net, ipv4 is so much easier if you need to access a single device. if ipv6 is parallell too, great but I hope ipv4 wont be disabled/ non existens in the future bc of this

  • $ sudo walk north

  • A whole library which was meant to to 10 things, but you only use one. And that for x libraries

  • as a swiss german (we capitalize nouns for those who don't know), I sometimes automatically capitalize nouns when writing in english, especially when I just wrote something in german. Its a habit and at least for me, its really hard to prevent me doing it.

    Same is for when I wrote mucn in english before, then writing something in german. Then everything is in lowercase.

  • Ohh that was a good one. best one I think.

    Same as having a good backup strategy but didn't try to restore once.

  • there are everywhere and everytime excaptiosand yeah like instagram and whatsapp. every update makes the app worse. google assistant too

  • i already using many alternatives for myself. but for work and hobbies, i still need some of those google apps or social media platforms

  • it depends about which applications they are and how securitx affined you are. but as a normal user for most apps this is ok

  • I dont really use critical apps on my phone and on some important apps, i cant use them until I update them. So theres not a big risk or danger for not updating them. still there are some apps i update often but for the big all, twice a year must be enough

  • didn't know they had this feature all the time😳

  • I'd just import it as TwitterIcon

  • She doesn't have much money for a new laptop and since she won't use it often, it's enough to check mail, e-banking, ... And we have some old laptops at home nobody uses, so we thought we could give it to her as a gift.

    Eventually, she'll buy a new ~400$ laptop later with some good specs, but that's not in the upcoming months. But thanks for the help.

  • Yeah, it's an old laptop. She doesn't have much money for a new laptop and since she won't use it often, it's enough to check mail, e-banking, ... And we have some old laptops at home nobody uses, so we thought we could give it to her as a gift.

    Eventually, she'll buy a new ~400$ laptop later with some good specs but that's not in the next few months. But thanks for the tips.

  • Wow... thanks for this detailed info & guide! I'll probably use the HP laptop with Mint Cinnamon, cause I don't like that old retro look of xfce. A friend told me to try Lubuntu too, so let's see.

    I didn't know about that Chrome/ Firefox performance "issue" on old laptops, so thank you! Isn't there a way to disable flatpak at all? Thought on my Manjaro I could disable it, so eventually there is an option there too. OnlyOffice and uBlock were my guesses too. I'll probably set up NextDNS and KDE Connect too.

    1. using an ad blocker. personally, i use ad blockers for years and when i work on a friends laptop im shocked how much ads there are actually. i cant count on a hand how mucn i told my father he should use ad blocker browser and extenstion. and he wont do it. recently, i changed the DNS server on a router level to nextdns, where it blocks ads and trackers. he told me its amazing how smoother the experience is now
    2. password managers. as an IT specialist i have about 300 login details for many services, personal, work and clients. every login has its own password and eventually email too. and i know sooooo many people who forgot their passwords (they have about 3 very similar ones but ok) and try them all until they find out they had to creat a new for that specific service. and they are so unaware about the dangers (for example fishing, SE, ...) with this method.
