Is that thumbnail supposed to be, like, super “maga dork” lmfao

Maybe, but as someone who spent a summer school breaks worth of time in 2002 getting drivers for a Nvidia GeForce 2 card to run under Mandrake (oh the kernel panics…) to play counter-strike 1.X on wine… It’s come a long fucking way.

I use Debian for everyday work and on my private machine nowadays and struggle with the shitty experience of windows when helping someone out now and then. Granted, I don’t have much time for games these days, and often fire up the PS for that, but I feel experience can vary as long as you know what you want and manage expectations.

This is the correct answer

Bubbles tend to pop sometimes.

[…] ready enough to convince your boss that it’s ready to replace you at your job."

That’s great though. Then said boss can rehire the people they fired for a noicely risk-adjusted premium.

Stupidity traditionally hurts (the wallet)

PostgreSQL is definitely a boost to performance, especially if you offload the DB to a dedicated server (depending on load, can even be a cluster)

Nevertheless, it probably has much to do with how it’s deployed and how many proxies are in front of it, and/or VPN. If you have large numbers of containers and small CPU/low memory hardware, and either running everything on one machine or have some other limitations, it’ll be slow.

Admittedly, I’m not very familiar with the codebase, but I feel Apache isn’t improving the speed either. Not exactly sure how PHP is nowadays with concurrency and async, but generally a microservice type architecture is nice because you can add more workers/instances wherever a bottleneck emerges.

Narrator: It does

I have no idea what any of these does. I might just aswell be unknowingly installing a keylogger or something.

This actually applies to windows GUI installers just the same. You really don’t know what you’re installing either, although you do usually give it administrator permission to make changes to the system. In some way it’s even worse, it’s “running commands” and hiding it from you.

Same, really love them, as you can wear them for hours and they cause no pressure or uncomfort. ANC is great too. I use them for work.

Depends what device you run, but Xournal++ is useful. Otherwise pdftk.

It’s my daily driver. It has incredible compatibility and very nice features, for example the rule based filter actions, header matching, which immensely boosts my workflow efficiency. Not to mention the calendars and tasks integration and the great extensibility via the plugin system.

Thunderbird is a great example of community driven awesomeness.

cutting people off from important information just because they live in a geographical region that doesn’t allow secret malware.

I think most disagree with your argument, that you need to tolerate ‘secret malware’ to access important information. That information can’t be THAT important or else it could be found elsewhere, completely without malware.

Get 'vanced lmao

This is true. However, I don’t see this happening as the website/browser isn’t really the problem with online banking, it’s more often the user.

On another note, how about no access at all, because this is a freaking huge attack surface for (D)DOS. Imagine you just invalidate signatures of all traffic to and from an attestation service. You could almost stop countries from functioning. That’s a serious vulnerability which we can easily do without.

I have both my own email server and an additional paid email provider. not expensive and has very nice functionality in terms of sync, aliases, etc.

If they now said I needed some 3rd party bullshit to access their site, I would quit paying them. There are tons of these smaller businesses.

I doubt they will just be like “oh well, guess i’ll die, Daddy Google said so”

What i’m saying is, it doesn’t have to be google OR become a tech wizard. There is a middle path that just costs a dollar.
