Aah, I did not consider Netflix & Spotify. yeah that makes sense. I never paid for those either. But of course you can only self-host media if you first get it from somewhere*.

I do wonder who takes money separately/only for calendar hosting.

But yeah, all in all that amounts to a lot, and considering you can have a VPS with decent storage for under €10/mo. - it’s really the best solution.

That’s interesting. Can you elaborate?

I was going to think up something more elaborate, but this is enough.

I’m also a bit of an electronics hoarder recycler, which probably got me into Linux in the first place. And Linux proved me right: old hardware is still good. My first server was a 32 bit laptop.

I also work in the social sector btw.

Bool me once, shame on thee. Bool me twice, shame on me.

Considering many years have passed I don’t think it’s necessary to use a cutting edge distro anymore, but the reddit thread says something about having to update the BIOS to the latest version.

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Bash, does in fact apply to all UNIX-like shells.

No you didn’t. It’s not going anywhere, but it will always be a minority compared to SAAS.

It is. But now I want cooking-related metaphors for the relentless attacks coming in from everywhere, the need for encryption etc. Please.

Nice, that looks pretty obvious.

In addition to the other reply, you should search around your distro* having problems with (certain) AMD gpus; maybe all you need is a backported kernel.

* I don’t think you ever mentioned. If it’s Ubuntu-based, search for Ubuntu.

Since you specifically mention qtile you should undo your customizations and see if that fixes your problem?

If not, you should look at the journal after reboot:

journalctl -b

But you’ll need to filter it.

Try journalctl -b | grep -v rtkit-daemon, which will remove the masses of entries you bemoaned in another comment (AFAICS all syslog entries should also be in the journal anyhow).

Very important:
Please make note of when the problem happened, and if your journal entries even go that far in time.

Great article, but you could’ve gone deeper into the modern ramifications. I feel you cut that short, just after mentioning the Zuckerborg - there would have been so much more to get into.

You should also have clarified that you’re talking about Linux as a consumer device OS; most of the internet and probably some social media giants run Linux or UNIX-like OSs, too.

And that Linux is not equivalent to FOSS, nor is the EFF.

And a link to that article you’re refering to.

but I like nano!

What about nano? Is it OK to choose a safe middle ground? I mean with ed I could just as well use butterflies.

BTW, notepad++ is popular on Windows. That’s the sort of software what gets hijacked.
