  • Musk ‘lying like hell’ over AfD interview, says ex-EU tech leader

    Jump

  • Yeah that's not a new take when you call the AfD "Nazis" they will usually reply "No the Nazis were "NationalSOCIALISTS" so not us because we're not socialist. Which is of course missing the point but no wonder. I still call them Nazis or Fascists as I see fit.

  • Nach Magdeburg: Bundesregierung will Vorratsdatenspeicherung

    Jump

  • Leute ich kann das alles nicht mehr. Wie kann ein Staat sich noch Rechtsstaat nennen wenn er immer und immer wieder eine Praxis einführen versucht die schon mehrfach gerichtlich gekippt wurde?

    Ganz unabhängig davon kann mal bitte eine Person für die Vorratsdatenspeicherung argumentieren mit tatsächlichen Fakten was man wie mit welchen Daten verhindern hätte können?

    Ich hab auch einfach das Gefühl jede neue Innenminister*in bekommt nach Amtsübernahme einen Besuch vom Zaubereiminister der basically sagt "du musst die Vorratsdatenspeicherung einführen"

  • Can I get your opinion?

  • What? Sacrilege. Of course my mum's PC runs arch so does my server I would install arch on a hospital Server and have it auto update if they'd let me ... /s

  • EU law mandating universal chargers for devices comes into force

  • The problem is that USB-C is a plug not a standard even in charging some cables won't do as much power as others (though at least they communicate that to the power source).

    I do however fully support the total USB-C rollout. In my everyday carry there's now only one plug (2 USB-C one USB-A) and some cables that I can charge everything with, my laptop, my phone my Powerbank and even those few devices that are still USB-B micro (I just carry one USB-A to micro cable).

  • Since Pi is infinite and non-repeating, would that mean any finite sequence of non-repeating numbers should appear somewhere in Pi?

  • I've been using Linux exclusively for ~14 years now. Heavily gaming on Linux only for the last ~8 years.

    It was possible (though sometimes headache inducing) to play most games back then (Wine and soon Proton to thank) the biggest change IMHO came with SteamPlay since it turned the headache into one click on most games (thanks to the amazing work of wine/proton developers and the tinkering of the community).

    When the SteamDeck released people seemed surprised at the breadth of games that were running on day one. To me it was not really a surprise since I had been Linux gaming with SteamPlay all the time and was almost expecting games to "just work" (though I still would and still am checking ProtonDB before purchase).

    What the SteamDeck changed in my view was

    1. Showing "everyone" that Linux Gaming is a thing that's happening and been happening for a while. So maybe check it out?
    2. That a Handheld that doesn't have to work around Windows but uses a purpose built OS just makes a lot more sense

    I feel that the SteamDeck with SteamOS has really put Linux, especially Linux gaming on the map. Even though I want to be like "Linux Gaming has been a thing forever, I was doing it before it was cool" ;) I have to recognize that fact. In the past years I've seen so many people setting up Linux especially by the way of SteamOS (using HoloISO, Chimera ...) just to play/mess with it which is also why I think an Official SteamOS release will make a huge difference.

    Tl;dr: Gaming on Linux was a thing before. But the SteamDeck/SteamOS 3 made a huge impact nonetheless.

  • Uh, let's backup and format...

    Jump

  • Seriously. I work in IT (mostly Linux) but whatever OS 90% of the Job is knowing how to properly phrase problems for Google and then you just need to know how/where to apply solutions.

    Why do men like boobs?

    Jump

  • Obviously there is no one easy explanation here (as you can see by all the different responses).

    I think evolutionary factors play into a general affection people have for boobs. They are humans first source of food and with it an extremely intimate contact. Also on a "birth readiness" perspective Boobs on a woman suggest that she can feed a child (just as wide hips suggest she can bear one).

    There is something to be said about culture. Since boobs are considered "sexual" they have to be covered in "decent" settings (see also discussions about female presenting nipples on social media) which simply adds to their sexualization.

    Also, in my sexual experience (Bi male) nipples and breasts (boobs/man boobs ...) are erogenous zones so playing with them (touching/pinching/kissing/biting...) actually is arousing thus they are "sexual" parts.

    Thats just my two cents.

  • Immer mehr Auszubildende fallen durch Abschlussprüfung

    Jump

  • Haha ich hatte auch grade Berufsschul-Flashbacks. Ich glaub marode Bausubstanz und unterirdische Toiletten sind ja mehr oder weniger standard für alle Schulen 🙈 aber bei einer Berufsschule für Informatiker so schlechte/Veraltete Technik ist wirklich unterirdisch. Ich erinnere mich noch das ich im Programmier Unterricht eine Frage hatte. Der Lehrer war eh nicht zu gebrauchen dann hab ich gegoogelt... Das hat ungefähr 5 minuten gedauert...

  • Do you use Gnome or KDE Plasma?

    Jump

  • Started on Gnome 2 for a short stint then used Unity for a while (used to be Ubuntus DM). When I switched away from Ubuntu I was still looking for something "familiar" so switching to Gnome (it was like 3.8 at the time) felt right. Have been using Gnome ever since.

    I've thought about switching to KDE a few times (when Gnome made some bone headed decision) but the way key combos and workflows are ingrained to me I would just set up any DE to feel like Gnome so why should I switch.

  • Let's Encrypt is 10 years old today !

    Jump

  • Damn! That's definitely a "I'm old" moment for me. I still remember when I first heard about the concept and I remember setting it up the first time on a self hosted project (which seemed harder back then).

    Awesome project!

  • What are some self hosted services that you think are essential?

  • Nextcloud.

    I was hosting nextcloud at home for years. Then when I worked in a Datacenter I got to host some servers there from free so I set up a two-node proxmox with nextcloud and some other stuff. Now I don't work there anymore and I really felt the hole nextcloud left, no more notes syncing for notes, tasks, calendar, podcasts no more place to upload my photos from my phone ... So now I'm hosting nextcloud at home again.

    I also host jellyfin which is nice but if I don't have it doesn't actively hamper my workflow.

  • Innocent Israelis, Bad Arabs? How the Media Scripted Amsterdam's Soccer Violence

    Jump

  • First of all I agree wholeheartedly that the racist hooligans that instigated violence before the game and the slogans they chanted are absolutely despicable.

    However the attacks against the Fans were not even indiscriminately against all fans (not just the hoolingans) but they were explicitly against Jewish people. Multiple reports from the situation after the game state how people were explicitly attacked for being Jewish. I don't know how else to frame this than as an antisemitic attack.

  • Linux Sys Admins, do you work on Linux or Windows office laptops?

    Jump

  • I'm in the lucky position that I always could work with Linux. I was working with people that couldn't be bothered to run Windows on their Desktops (administering mostly Linux Servers anyway). In my first job we had a "Standardized" Fedora desktop that was actually attached to our AD so you could log in at any desktop with your domain user. However we did have internal tools and some software requirement that only were available on Linux meaning everyone in our department had a Windows VM for using those tools (kinda overkill but ok). My last job we didn't have any standard other than the system had to be encrypted and had Eset installed other than that we could set it up he was we liked.

    Could I work with a Windows desktop? Sure I'm on the Terminal sshing into systems 98% of the time anyway but at the end of the day I love to simply be on Linux having a workflow I'm used to.

    Regarding Office I was just using Office online for anything that needed it.

    Getting Linux Systems into AD is possible (but of course requires cooperation on the side of the IT department)

    Proxy and VPN should mostly be doable (but of course might not be able to be deployed via Group policies)

  • Moved my sister to Ubuntu a while ago aside from the occasional support call everything works quite well.

    As for my mom, I sat her down way back and told her she needed to move off of Windows XP (support was running out). I explained to her that she could learn Windows 7 and eventually 10 (8 was already a known dud by then) or she could switch to a "Traditional" desktop paradigm that resembled XP closely where she'd only had to relearn once and then keep running it forever, so I moved her to MATE.

    While most issues she had with incompatibilities could be solved (and often remotely by me just via ssh) there was one MFP that just wouldn't scan properly (I've scoured the web for guides and sane drivers etc.) in the end I set up a Dual boot Windows (with a nice "switch to Windows " script right in the pinned apps) just so she could scan from there (scans automatically saved on a NAS share that was also available in Linux so she could use the scanned documents there). These days the MFP died and she got a new one that will actually scan in Linux but I kept the dual boot just in case (though I doubt she ever uses it).

  • Concerns Raised Over Bitwarden Moving Further Away From Open-Source

    Jump

  • This. I have been running it the same way for some time now. Even if you change something on one machine and something else on another nextcloud will just happily inform you of the conflict and then you can open both databases and cherry pick. Never had corruption issues.
