It’s only insane if you have them all running at once.

Whole article? It’s 10 sentences.

Bought a Pinecil a few weeks ago. No problems.

Ooo I just found out element added support for drop-in/drop-out voice and video rooms. That’s the real killer feature they’ve been lacking I think. Will have to try it out.

Yeah, I saw that element is using jitsi under the hood for its screensharing. If that makes for a seamless user experience, that’s great. It’s been like 10 years since I last tried Jitsi, but it was not smooth.

TBH both disc and slack have their downsides, disc more so, so I’m fine if they just take the best of all worlds.

But yeah, screensharing is the deciding factor for me. As much as all my friends hate discord, we use screensharing all the time (it’s just a bit jankier getting it working on Linux).

This one is clearly made to look like slack, which is great I need to try this out. Just wish someone would make one that looks like disc. And then matrix needs screensharing support.

Does it work now? I tried it around a year ago and couldn’t get voice to work at all. It even had a message saying they were in the process of rewriting their voice streaming backend, and the legacy path may just be broken.

Discord compatible bots run on whatever server you run them on, they’re not owned or run by Discord.

It says the client is compatible with both space-bar and discord.com, so yeah, if you use it with discord, expect all the downsides of discord.

Lol ok, then I guess I didn’t understand what the alternative would be when you suggested putting the OSes on different partitions.

They’re definitely not suggesting having both OSes in the same partition (even though that is technically possible using winbtrfs, it is objectively an insane thing to do).

Looks like this is in the standard Fedora /etc/skel/.bashrc.

What more do you need?!

Lol but seriously,

Remove: ...gnome-shell...

That’ll do it.

You should consider setting up btrfs w/ Timeshift.

Thanks, good to know!

I think their question is, what do you mean by “secure”? Because as the saying goes for internet services: usually, if you’re not paying, you’re not the customer, you’re the product.

Agreed. Anyone who thinks it’s ok to just expose ssh on 22 to the internet has never looked at their logs. The port will be found in minutes, and be hammered by thousands of login attempts by multiple bots 24/7. Sure you can block repeat failed logins, but that list will just always be growing.

Normal for who? I wouldn’t expose SSH on 22 to the internet unless you have someone whose full time job is monitoring it for security and keeping it up to date. There are a whole lotta downsides and virtually no upsides given that more secure alternatives have almost zero overhead.

Also, yesterday was Bandcamp Friday (they forgoe their cut and everything goes to the artist). The next two are Oct 4th and Dec 6th.

I think this was Steve Jobs’ primary skill. He could see a clear vision of the product people didn’t know they wanted. Bottom to top, from the hardware to run on, to the typeface their apps used; he knew that the best user experiences happened when every level of the stack harmonized to create a very finely tuned user experience.

Unfortunately, the people who are that good usually don’t work for free. We’re very fortunate that Valve is choosing to open source their work and keep their SteamDeck platform an open one.

Debian is the only one there I haven’t actually tried myself as a daily driver, so idk if using the terminal is necessary. I’ve just heard it’s solid and I assumed all normal user operations can be done via GUI in gnome or KDE like you can with Fedora.
